Thanks for the replys guys. And thanks for the video PUC. This **** pisses me off....that's why I took the wheels on / off myself cause I don't trust anyones work and these jerks can't even mount the tires. I have aired them up to 45 and put 100 miles on her with no luck. Arggggg

Hey Guys, I had the local dealer mount my new shinko white walls....... I've had a very slow leak in the front for some time now. Checked for leaks in the hot tub and could not see any evidence of a leak. I would lose 5 - 6 psi in a week. New tires mounted and now I'm losing the same 5 - 6 psi a week in both. I thought a long ride would nip it but no dice. The dealer gave me this "well you should check your pressure every time you ride anyway" ****. Can I shoot a sealer in there? I hate to remove both wheels again....argggg Thanks Coop

I did see that but only letters.... no white walls. Coop

Good Morning Guys, I'm in NJ and I called 3 places. 45 each, 55 each and another at 45 each if you bought the tires from us. If not 65 each. The 45.00 shop is a small place and the dudes high all the time....so I past. The 55 and 65 were Yammy dealers. The front valve was only 3 bucks. The rear was the metal 90 degree valve and I think it was a bit over 20.00. Three bucks a piece to dispose of the old tires. It's not brain surgery but I know I got a good job and may not have from the 45.00 shop. I never pay for anything except auto work at the dealer on my newer VW Tourage...... everything at the house, elec, plumbing, framing, roofing ect but wrestling with tires....I'll pass ( Have a great day and remember the real reason have we have the extra day off this weekend! Coop

Wow.....you are very lucky. I can't believe you could ride that bike with the tire pressure so low..... If I'm a few pounds low i can feel it. I just changed my tires and my rear Avon also had some minor cracking on it Coop

That's what I did....EBAY thru Chapperel. Don't remember the exact cost but low 200's also with free shipping. Pulled the wheels off and the local Yammy dealer charged me 147.00 for mounting, balancing and new valves. I love the look of the white walls on my pearl white bike. I took it up and down the streets of my neighborhood and it felt great. I went down to 130's in the front. Feels like a big difference. Thanks for your reply. Coop

Someone else mentioned them as well but that link takes me to another company and I didn't see any thing for tires. I did end up with getting the shinko 777's Thanks for your reply Coop

Awesome! Thanks much for the pictures! Coop

Thanks. Yah that bushing has a hole thru it, like takes a bolt. There is no evidence or markings of a nut ever being there. I'm not sure but I think that's the battery box on top. ....I got to get my seat off tomorrow and look at the top side. Coop

Hey Guys, Couple questions..... 1) I was looking at my rear shock and right above where the top bolt goes thru the shock eye there's a tab with a hole in it and a rubber bushing above it. I'll try to attach a picture. I have no bolt there. Am I missing a bolt? Is that the battery box above the shock? 2) I searched but couldn't find an answer....best oil for rear drive. One that may eliminate my whine ( I have a v-max final drive) Thanks, Coop

Thanks for the info and the links.... I'll check em out! Bob

Thanks for the reply.... Hope you are enjoying the Spyder. Yah....I've read that the 404's are only good for 5k....that won't work. I see Metzler makes a 130/90/16 in white wall. I'm not sure if this is the size guys are going to. But for the rear they only have a 170 and I don't know if that will fit. Hoping to hear from someone who has done this. Thanks Bob

Good Morning Guys, It's been quite a while since I've been on here. Hope everyone is doing well. I'd like to buy a set of white wall tires for my 06 RSTD. I'm sure this has been beat to death but I searched and can't find where it is. First I'd like to know what tires you guys feel are best. I ride 1 up, and don't tow. I have AVON Venom's on the bike now. I'd like the best riding tire I can get. Thinking about dropping the front tire size down to the 130 for a lighter feel, but using my stock wheel. In addition I'd like to go with white walls. My bike is lowered if that matters. Thanks in advance for the suggestions. Bob

Thanks for the reply Freebird. I'll have to trace the wires. My switch is located right in the chrome seal beam bucket. It's odd caused I'm not blowing the fuse. I remember that when I first installed my commander (computer) when I hit that switch it would make the main fuse blow. The computer has been installed since 2007 or so without any issues so I doubt it is that but guess it could be. I'll check back in when I find it....... Coop

Hey Guys, Been a long time. Hope you are all well. I'm having an issue someone may be able to help with. When I switch on my passing lights on my 06 RSTD my Speedo goes blank. i turn the switch back off and after 15 - 20 minutes the Speedo comes back on. My passing lights were added by the dealer when I bought the bike. Other than that it runs fine.... Thanks for thinking about it. Coop

Sorry guys it's gone....Friesman jumped on it. Coop

I have a set of black I decided not to use if anyone is interested..... Nothing wrong with them, I just changed my mind. Bob

Never knew that. When ever I visit a grave I always leave 2 nickles so friends and family knew I was there..... My last name is Nichols Coop

cool beans.... yes it is!

haha.... ok. can't help you with that. but I'm sure someone else can. I think goose is your man bob

no 4 cly switch on that puppy? sounds like you need a tach adapter. I'm not sure but I may have a spare.... your welcome to it free of charge. let me know and i'll look for it tonight. bob

You bet.... anytime. Let us know how you make out. Bob

The way that picture is drawn is a little misleading or maybe we're looking at it backward. The bank of coils where you have your red circle is actually the front coils. The rear coil wire I'm on is yellow and is shown on your drawing. Bob

Well it was the neg side of the rear, right coil. I can't tell you for sure that the wire was white. I've worked on numerous wiring jobs in the last couple months and the brain ram is low.... hope I don't get the blue screen anytime soon. ( I'll be home in a few hours and will look and get back to you. I'm thinking orange.... I'll be back around 10 pm Bob

hey rick wow....nice trip! hope you have a great trip! I've been out on the bike since you did my seat twice for a couple hours each time....it was odd because when I came back it was like..... monster ovals> check, dyna>check, vmax gears> check........ seat? huh? it was like I didn't feel it or my butt hurting. it was like it disappeared. so I'd say that's a great job! I'm going on a 7 day ride june 9th...... the first day were riding 12 hrs..... not my idea at all.... then 4-5 hours a day. so that'll be the true test. so far so good. enjoy your trip and i'll report back after the trip bob
