I like it! Would be curious as well.

Found the problem... I had the old forum runner free version, and it didn't give me the option to reply. Bought the new version, and I am replying now from my iPhone. I love technology!

yeah my factory key is just a boring black triangle. So now I can upgrade my key to later model, pretty cool. Now I think I will upgrade my cassette player to the later model...uh wait they still have them..

On the forumrunner app, I do not see a way to reply to a thread. It leads me read and even thank someone, but not post or reply. Anyone else have this issue?

Just ordered a couple of these blanks for my 2001 RSV: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blank-Key-Uncut-Blade-for-YAMAHA-Star-xv1700-XV1900-DS1100-XV1700-XVS1100-C404-/221176433331?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item337f248ab3&vxp=mtr They look pretty snazzzy, and I only received one key from PO when I bought it. What ya think, they have blue and red ones listed as well. I'll let ya know when they get in from across the big pond and I get them cut. Rod

I believe Deepforkriver had this same type issue, and ended up being stator unit... James, sound like what you went through?

Wait! There is another site? c- ya! Kidding, grass is only greener on the other side if there is more fertilizer... and we know what fertilizer is made of.. But of course our pastures here sure are green.... Like i said earlier, if you are pleased with the product you are paying for and the price you are paying, who are you to question what the person selling it to you is making.

Yeah, that was at the old house... Wish we had a hot tub now... You buy one and have it installed at my house, and we could let ya'll come use it.. See, win-win! Let me know if you wanna try the plastex stuff.. Rod

Hey James, I believe I have some of that Plastex stuff. I used it on a hot tub to deal cracks. Its a liquid and powder you mix together. You can even mix in acrylic paint to get the desired color you need. Let me know if you interested in trying it and I can get it to you.. I can also school you on plastic welding as well...

Just a word of caution, make sure you do have some travel.... I work with a guy who filled his forks pretty much full of fork oil, and did not have any travel. The ensuing ride after ended in a crash. If there is no travel the front end will bounce, not a good thing.

I was playing with my calculator too, did you know if you hold it upside down and type 0 7 7 3 4 it will form the word HELLO? very cool!

Do you question how many customers Wal-Mart has? No one is forced to be a member or come to this interweb site, just like we are not forced to shop at certain stores. What said store owner does with, and I'll emphasize, "ANY" profits is their business. We live in a capitalistic society, although this is in danger, and we all have inherit opportunities to better ourselves through various means. Class warfare and entitlement gets us nowhere. Just because we all cannot afford a 2nd Gen, and are forced to ride "antique" 1st genners.. Uh, better stop on that thought... like I said Poke, Poke!

But I do not see a mention of a Tape Player?!? How would I listen to my mix tapes then?!

Here ya go, just a few that i took of bikes and outside Lucille's.

Had a great day riding. Awesome to meet ya'll, hope to get to see ya again! Thanks for the pictures as well.

Bryan, I sent a message to the ebay seller requesting a picture of the back of that one, have not heard back.. It states it fits on the round filler door of a Hardley.. so not sure if that one has the interlocking piece on the back... now to chase down etcswjoe's link and see what I can find out... Thanks all for the support... Rod

That is the one Playboy... unfortunately I cannot even find Hopnel directly. The tag has Hopnel, Racine, WI. However in googling the heck out of it I cannot locate a corporate office. Found Hoppe in Kenosha, but not the same company. Would really be a bummer to have to buy a whole new tank bib just to get a pouch. I'd probably give ya a shiny nickel for yours though!

I bought my 2001 Venture, and it came with a Hopnel Tuxedo tank bib; however the quicklock pouch was not included... I have searched the interwebs and do not show a pouch being sold separately other than a map pouch. Figured I'd appeal to the masses here to see if anyone has an extra( yeah I know) laying around.. Thanks, Rod
