Don and Patti, First of all, wow what a great looking rig! i'm glad to hear that the fins were approved by the war dept. lol:whistling: and i'm sure there is more "safety chrome" in your future!! the first box was made of left/overs and not very well planned out,and was back and forth across the usa and canada several times... soooo.. i may have gone over the top with this new bullet proof and ups resistant contraption....however i feel comfortable that everyone will get their parts without any damage. thank you again, and we look forward to that ride together!! thanks for posting the pictures too! mike and cherie

Bent side stand mount?
eusa1 replied to mmoffitt's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
i have seen this a few times in the past. i would do the same as stated above..... remove the chrome and bend the frame mount back to the correct angle with a cresent wrench, and if your concerned about the weld at that point, have the weld shop beef up the original weld and go like the wind! . been there done that, it worked for me. mike -

half of new or more, and cheaper by the dozen. that my $.02

i'm still looking for an answer to my questions ?, still getting same blah blah blah. so the more risk ya take, the better biker you must be huh? i put 20-25 k a year on 1 of my 8 motorcycles, and none of them have cracks in the tires. i wont have it because it's a smart choice for me and yup! it's a safe choice, don't you worriy about why i ride on a safer tire. and keep your cracks away from mine.
-
your assumption would be correct sir, and please don't take my remarks as an attack on your person, i just wanted and answer for my own curriosity about how people value the dollar over the safety? the cracks were down the center of the tread, just the same as some of my metzler tires were on earlier bikes. i liked the way the metzler performed, yet the cracks spooked me away from them. i have run several sets of michelins and they are a great product "for me" i have a set of e3's on at the moment and i'm still on the fence at this point, they wear very well, they handle the rain very well, but they are noisey..... i'm not sure just yet?? and just to keep things on an even "keel"..... i'm not floating a boat, i'm riding a motorcycle:thumbsup2: ok? why were the cracks discerning?
-
tis true that no tire or anything is 100%.... however the concern here is?? if the cracks don't worrie you in the first place.... uhm? why bother changing them at all? if my bungee cord company keeps giving me a bad batch, should i keep thanking him untill the cord breaks? to each their own, i can understand giving a product a second chance, but for cryin in a bucket, how many times do you roll the dice? i had a blow out in 05 with 5 day 0ld venoms with 2300 miles on them.. they will never get another chance. there are too many other quality choices out there, for me to risk it all over a free second chance. enjoy the ride guys.
