Looks like you were pretty close to wear bars anywho. So whatcha going with next??

I'm guessing here a first gen? Any way to retro fit say an LED light to its place?

Manual for 2nd Gen says 419lb total. 20lb ea bag and the same for the trunk. Why whats up? You got a load of gold to carry?

Looks quite and inviting, well now anyways.

If you take it to a body shop they should be able to match it up. If you go to an independant painter he may be able to hand pinstripe.

Hard to say. Maybe a spacer in the wrong place? Are you certian the shaft got back on the splines in front?

Wife and I looked pretty seriously at those back in the day. Had a 650 KZ at the time.

I had a knock off type in black. Painted it with some spray chrome paint. Its not bad, blends OK I guess. I might have left it black if I would have mounted it first. Where it sits I think it would just blend in with the open space.

Welcome HMMM somewhere either here or maybe the Venture forms on delphi someone had a 10" I think clearview for sale at a decent price. I had an old memphis shades phats laying around from a previous bike. I layed my current RSV shield over the top after I figured how short I wanted it. Used a dremmel tool and cut it off. Its OK around town here but I'm looking at a 3500 mile trip and behind trucks etc the shorter one beats me to death. So I put the tall shield back on.

I was working on rerecording a few weeks back. Had CD in computer and running. A few minutes later I noticed it wasnt running anymore. It just shut down on its own. So I thinks theres issues with PC. I have seen the I-simple gizmo. But it seems you can not source it from anywhere but Yamaha. Can not seem to get a part number. And the price they want for it.........Holy Cow man and still would have to buy one of them high dollar I-thingy's to go with it.

Yup got a bunch of music on SD card for GPS. Problem is I need to redo it. Some songs are normal volume, some louder some quiter. I sure could use the extra room in th left bag going to canada, so I may have to consider it.

I had a 90 Mustang GT that had the "turbo" mags on it. The clear was comming off and wheels were pitted much like your floorboards. I got some "etching type" mag wheel cleaner from autozone and it did a nice job of cleaning them up. You may want to look into some never-dull polishing cloth also. It comes in a can and is a cotton sort of swab looking stuff with chemicals infused in the cloth.

I sure wouldnt give much for one. Maybe $30 I got a Panasonic in the attice that came out of my sons car years ago. Never found another use for it neither. It's a nice option but there are just better ways now days for tunes. I have been thinking about trying to condense some of my music onto CD's. Instead of say 2 CD's with Garth Brooks see if I can copy them to one.

Man I'm stupped on that one. The filter I used was actually bigger and I think went inline on power side. I cant swear to it though. The one I actually got was off e-bay. I would think RS has them also. This is the bugger. Power side for this one.

I would say the majority of would be thieves are lazy. If they can get it easy they may try, but they aint going to work very hard at it. Maybe drill a hole so lock cant be opened and install a bolt with an odd driver requirment. Kind of like the "no-tamper_ bolts" on carb setting and the like. An allen head bolt may do the trick. If they have to go look for the specfic tool they will probably give up and move on. May be some bolt like that avail at home depot or lowes in hardware section. Star with pin in middle or something like that. If you use just an allen bolt, once installed fill the allen hole with RTV. They would have to dig it all out if they want it.

Still need pics !!!!!!! Now its up to you Easy.

On you CB issue. Before I went off the deep end and tell you to swap antenna sides, you said the trunk had been repaired. So there may be a possibility maybe that somehow the CB box under the trunk got the cable swapped around? There was just a thred here a few days back in the GPS/audio section and it told what the cable looked like and how was routed. I would make sure the correct cable is connected. Also welcome to the house. My 09 has the CD changer. I have to say if you dont have one its not a big deal. I wouldnt spend the money on it. I split the fairing and installed an Ed-sets bluetooth cable (for GPS) and added and aux input at the same time. I use my phone for pandora most of the time but can play the MP3 player also.

I have a couple in mine at 12oclock position. I used an automatic center punch. you know the springloaded ones you just push and the make a dent. It takes a bit but it works. Then I put a little larger nail in the hole and "rounded" it out. On trips where I'm trying to get the make distance I'll sit on the bike and fill up so its more upright. DON"T hit the auto punch with a hammer!!!!!!! They are about $3 at harbor freight. I thought about maybe running the shop vac and either sucking across the top to keep sparks out or hook it up to blow across. I think sucking across would do 2 things. If you had sparks it would draw them out instead of in and also if you had material coming off it would capture it instead of falling into the tank. I did neither. lol

Hmm I know its on a pretty good angle. I wrapped a piece of tape around the allen where it contacts the fairing to keep from marking up the paint. Mine is either a MAC or Snap on allen maybe 6" long. I have seen sort of an offset "l" looking bracket. Mounts with studs maybe to the forks where allen bolts go now, then drops maybe 1/2" down and forward about maybe the same. Allows removing the fairing without removing the light bar.

6mm long ball allen driver.

Now you can tell them its made by Indian instead of the snow machine guys.

Steve, no on the west to east. Entry into Canada we are commin in over by Kingston/Gananoque riding the Hwy 2 westbound. Outbound from Bowmanville going to try to stay off tool road and head west on 401 I think it is to QEW to the bridge.

I have been using TYRE. It will create routes in a format for Garmin or Tom Tom (you didnt tell us which one you were using). To me it is much easier to understand how to work TYRE then the basecamp and mapsource stuff Garmin wants you to use. I used Microsoft Streets and trips for a long time before I got a GPS. But the format it will out put to is not GPX (garmin). If you can use google maps you can pretty much figure out TYRE. I have used the Harley one for some route ideas. The problem I had with the couple routes that interested me was I had to redo them anyways as the maker of the route was on a Harley Dealer tour I guess. 400+ miles and 3 stops at HD place, and went out of the way to get there. Not all routes are that way I guess.

If I remember it that far ahead. I'm hoping the boarder crossings go well. Not as worried about gettin in as out. WE are going out Mon am on the peace bridge. This was suggested by a member here as oposed to the niagra crossing I suppose. Prob way more turestias on labor day there. I'm on a mission getting home. 1408 miles in 2 days.

Not sure how the Mustang mounts for a RSV. The one I have on mine is a Utopia. It swings forward and down into the drivers seat. It does stick up some. Heres an idea. What if you got a slightly longer bolt and drilled the end so you could put an "R" clip thru it. Then you could simply pull the pin, remove bolt and backrest is out of way. Certianly not the pull out but its probably a couply hundred cheaper.
