Hey cleaning up around here. I found my old 5 pin headsets for the RSV. I have 2 pair and 2 mike bute buttons that go in line. I'd take $30 and freight

Seen a few of these down here in Fla in the winter from up north folks. https://www.rvforum.net/data/attachments/34/34853-423910e63e15110f8a176e769ac9fb58.jpg

Yup I'm with you. I dont see any place it says trailer GVW, just "trailers weighing more than 750#" Its easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

I found similar results with the purple power. Over all it works good, but kind of streaky, same with simple green. But my son was messing around the other week and going to clean his wheels on his car. He had some of this new Dawn foaming dish soap and thought what the heck. He said it worked pretty decent.

I did a write up here for the Mr Gasket pump swap. There is a check valve pump that is a Faucet I think is the name. But it aint cheap as it is FAA approved and available thru small aircraft parts suppliers. OK so I located one of these that is a little cheaper at Pegasus racing equip. You can take the part number and search for one for less. But this is the way to go. The conversion also allows you room to install a fuel filter where you can get to it.

I was thinking along those lines when I read your post the other nite. You can find a piece of channel at a local metal shop and bolt or weld it rite on there. Some highway acceptable tieres, repack wheel bearing with high temp bearing grease and you should be good.

Well I have some questions. I have seen many many racks for luggage on racks in the receiver. They teeter back and forth a bunch unless they strap them to bumper. So I do not see any kind of stabilizing to keep this thing from rocking to a fro. So do you really want to trust a single connection with 900#+ ?? And exactly what is the tounge weight rating on the hitch/vehicle your towing with? I dont think I would use it, all I can vision is my bike bouncing down the road after this thing breaks off.

In 07 I bought a 900 Vulcan. The 800's had some issues but heck I dont remember what it was now. Biggest complaint on repairs for the 900 was stator. Mine crapped at like 40k.

For those of us that have been at this awhile, the Shinkos molds and engineering is Yokahama technology So its good stuff. Way back when 2 strokes were king they made a dang good tire.

I have had good performance with Shinkos on both the RSV and my Victory. You cant get 15k out of them but they aren't $180 each either. If you put loads of miles in a year you might want to look to like a Michelin. I got better than 15k out of both the ones I ran. The Shinkos would go about 5-7k on the rear and 12 on the front I think it was. I dont put near the miles on now I did say 8yr back. So a Michelin for me would probably be 4 or more years old before I could wear it out. On the Victory I have used also a Continental, not sure if they make a size for the RSV.

Those are nice. When it comes to screws I like the ones that look like a torx bit and have a six sided top.

I EEEEEE Get ride of those guillotine scotch lock POS. Either make a proper connection or use posi-taps. Also watch for pinched wires up under there. The travel lock for forks like to catch them and pinch wires and short.

Blue Beard and I made a trip up to bike week the year they came out. Got in a test ride. I cant remember alot about it, and that is kind of sad. Nothing that was memorable per say. It was cool the sport vs road mode, but some had that before. It seemed sluggish unless in sport. And this is from a V-twin rider. It was a nice rider, but I wouldnt trade in my current ride. I also like alot of us thought the V-4 water cooled motor would have been a better bet.

I had just posted on another Venture site that I see some of the 2nd gens and RSTD occasionally when out on rides. But I can say I have seen no 3rd gen new styles.

I have metal valve stems on my Vic. I added TPMS a couple years back and its been great. No more laying on the floor every week to check tire pressures.

I saw a you tube video a fellow posted. He said HD didnt even show up with the test ride truck. Thats pretty sad folks. Looks like Leesburg got moved until Nov??

Early in my years of the mechanic business I did some light work on the old Screamin Jimmy's. 8-71 6v73. When I was working at the race shop here I had a Snap On top box, 3 or 4 long drawers and then the half drawers at top. Not a lot of tools really. Some creep broke in to my garage and stole it (hope he brought a friend it was heavy) Lucky we had went to Canada a few weeks before so I had an inventory when I reported it to my insurance. Alot of it was Crafstman stuff. Still was 70k I was shocked how much I had accumulated of the years.

Ah OK. Low ball offer so you would go away. Did they have possession of parts when they made the offer? If not I would have sent them a few pieces and told them pay up. But I understand, sometimes its better to just walk away and not fight a battle that is not worth going that way. But it sounds like buying their insurance is not worth the time of day.

Whats the info on the Blue Tooth set up? Maker? model etc.

My mystery size is 8mm. Damn little sockets keep disappearing.

At the college I work at we buy sets and special tools from a place tooltopia.com. Most stuff has good pricing and free freight over $75. I agree 80% of the time with kits you end up with stuff you dont need. And as far a pieces, they count the box, the little trays and separators etc. If you can get smaller sets of what you need socket wise, wrenches etc I think your better off.

LOL Dexion. A GI answer to adult erector set.

Yea my other half when we first started doing long trips thought she needed 5 pairs of pants 6 or 10 tops etc. Something for every day. She finally believed me there was laundry equipment everywhere we stayed. So some of that stuff got curtailed. My self, a couple pairs of jeans, depending on weather a few shirts and I'm good. No fashion show and most times nobody knows me where I'm going for more than a day or so.

Little Gizmo called a Boosteroo. They make a few different models. I modified mine and added a 12v wired in part for the battery so I didnt have to take things apart. I just wired it in line under the fairing.
