Another problem. You have to sleep sometime. It could be a looong nap.

Yea thats a mystery to me why alot of the HD riders all congrigate at dealerships across the US. Even when on a trip. "I got to have this t-shirt or that hat". Sometimes when I'm on a long trip frequently up to NC on 95 as I go by a couple of the HD places closer to the road I let the stebel honk and wave at them. They have to be giving something away that you have to own one to get the inside info. Good for them and the economy I guess. They are keeping people working.

Yup mine anyways and as far as I know it was a dealer installed pair. I have read about more than just a couple installed by dealers with no relay. Sorry about missing the part about wanting off with high beam. Hmm maybe thats the way they were set up before, but I seem to remember they ran even with high beams when I was checking.

Well getting closer to finalizing a route. Looks like time is going to dictate once we get out of finger lakes area to hop on the I 90 over to I 81 up to boarder. From there as of now once across boarder taking route 2 along the coast. If we get behind the curve I supose we have the option of jumping on the 401 just about anywhere along there. So my question today is on our return route we are going back by way of Toronto/Buffalo. Which entry point would be easier/faster? Niagra Falls I 190 or down all the way to Buffalo Peace Bridge I think the map planner calls it? Its all interstate home baby. 1416 miles in 2 days for me. 641 @ 11.5 hr the first day, 775 @ 12.5 the second. And thats if no rain and all goes well.

Barry you probably aint got enough miles on it to worry about. LOL

you mention Wille. Have to laugh, I was a Texas Motor Speedway a couple years back and he did a concert before the race. I saw him get whisked away after on a golf cart. I said man he is looking really old. Next day at airport I read he got poped for weed in his bus. whoda thunk Wille had weed in there??

Bells-Whistles go off Blink Blink::::: Tells me its rich to start with. I agree with the feloow recomending looking into the choke system. Linkage sticky, choke partially closed or maybe a bad (leaky) diaphram or something in the choke system.

Depends if you want the passing lights to work with both hi and low beams. I think I picked up power off the cig plug which is on with key. BTW here is a pic of the crappy Yamaha fuse holder when I tore it apart to install relay. I dont know how it was working.

We use to have a sayin gin the Air Force about stuff like that. Called the sperm whale theroy. Goes something like the sperm whale is one of the largest creatures on earth, so why can it only open its mouth a couple inches? Because thats the way God wants it and there aint nothing you can do about it. Electrical stuff baffles the hell out of me to. MAjic smike stuff is hard to follow. My best explaination is you need power and a ground and you dont want to be in between.

rick, sorry if offended ya. I'm just pokin fun period. As much as we look at bikes and think "I like this one because its different" or "this style is better" etc. Whe you look at them we are sort of force feed what we can have. I like the Looks of the Vic Cross Roads I posted. but its sort of funny how much it looks like the HD Road king deluxe or whatever they call it. I think the RSV "flows" beter as far as looks go because the bags are rounded same fot teh Voyager VS the HD shoe box bags. Whatever reason I like the looks of the Vaquero better than the Voyager even though its the same bike. Maybe its the blacked out theme thing. But man it felt heavier than tan the Venture and maybe a bit wider or something. Its all good man just get out and RIDE.

I read up on it here on the site first. My methoid was crank the handlebars full right. You will need a light of sometype to probably see up in the back of fairing. Remove the connector and boot. There is a metal spring clip that holds it in that has to be compressed. If you have a pick with a 90 deg end on it, it may help. It is a tight fit. got and 13yr olds in the neighborhood that want to make a couple bucks?

Sure am glad my 09 dont look anything like this. http://cdn.polarisindustries.com/polaris/vic/2013/images/model-photos/thumbs_small/15th_crs_cty_tour_p6.jpg The bags and farings flow with the angles of the fender and tank. Not like big shoe boxs plunked on the side. Oh well to each his own. Just ride.

I liked Frampton back when he was with Climax blues band which was way before his top 40 days. Heck of a gutiar player. did ya have a good time???

I used mine the other day on an excursion of around 100 miles. Held phone tight. Although I am thinking of a secondary system to secure on my long trips. I was thinking velcro strips I have to secure the cables/wires for the extra devices. but now you mention it I think the ole rubber band may be the best route. Thanks for the idea. I think I could actually move it around so the camera shoots thru the windshield and take pics going down the road if I wanted to.

Hey SilverT this is my desk top. LOL Dont know if I'd buy one all flamed out but I can dream.

Salty Dawg we talkin F-4 tape? The rubbery strechy stuff? Man you could fix all sorts of stuff, leaky pipes, electrical woes.......

Ya know, they DO build something BESIDES the Vison (which by the way starts with a V and rides really nice). Funky looking to some, but its not a cookie cutter bat wing bagger neither.

Last announcment HD had about "totaly redesigned" They changed the paint, included some high dollar CVO paint scheme and added what I though was minimual changes. Total redesign to me is it looks different from what was produced in that model line before. IE: the gen 1 and the Gen 2. Vivtory had the Kingpin line as a touring bike for a few years, then redesigned and fine tuned the line into the Cross bikes. Seriously I think Yamaha will take the Stratoliner Deluxe, add a few morsals and call it a touring bike.

Ok how funny. I just bought one of these for my scoot for the cell phone. Got off e-bay pretty decent piece. http://thmb.inkfrog.com/thumbn/clickgolds/nEO_IMG_1_137.jpg=450&gap=1

I think a cable is suspect. Possibly under the fairing. The answer to the question "does the music cut out" and the answer was yes. So it kind of sounds like the connection is lost. Best guess would be the connector under the fairing. Some dielectric grease may be in order.

I hate to say it but if it puts a rush on RSV and I can get more out of it than I paid for it. I'll be minus one red/black RSV. If some knucle head wants to pay me say 18K for it I'll be at the Victory dealer next day. I like my Venture but hey if I can make money on the deal......... Being I own one I can asure you they aint gonna go up in value. Nothing I own ever goes up.

Looks lik my utopia. But I think the backrest part is upside down. My pouch on the back of the seat is on top as it is velcroed to top of seatback.

Hmm dont know if I like Moose, never had any. but put chocolate on anything and I might try it.

Even though mine is hanging on the bracket for the audio stuff it dont seem to interfear with FM or Aux input stuff. Like I said the CB dont get turned on much on mine, only a couple times since I have had it and I just haven figured out how to make it work worth using I guess.

See if this helps you out.
