    my insurance company is pekin, they do not charge any extra premium for my added accessories, they do require that i give them an updated list whenever i add another chrome goodie, and any item not on the list, is not covered in the event of a loss. in 2005 my first 03 rsv was totaled and the accessories list at that time was $13,525.00 above the value of the bike. ask your insurance provider about their policy on accessories p/s the wife likes chrome on her bike too:starz: mike

    ask the local stealership to try and match the prices, mark up on tires is huge, and many will play monte hall with you. mike

    the cost of disposal of the waste from the process is the reason, and the requirements of legal operations. Quality plating in Sterling Illinois is a very small shop with very low overhead, and knows how to treat folks, not the fastest, but the quality is worth the wait. Quality plating 406 Oak Avenue Sterling, IL 61081-1860 (815) 626-5223 (metal plating only) plastic chrome="Chrome tech" owner operators name is Robert 608-712-8284 or 608-274-9811

    i think you will find the answer to the mix and match question to be very tough.. personal pref. i don't mix brands i also replace tires in pairs, never a single. no matter what the wear amount is. mike

    well, i will toss my .02$ in here also. i ride an average of 23000 mile per year here in the land of ice and snow, and thats just the rsv miles and not any of the enduro's my experience as follows brickstones=4000 miles= several sets on new bikes = junk metzler marathons= 8000 miles and cracking with fear of chunking = junk avon venom=2600 miles in 4 days and a blowout! =junk/fear of death = junkjunk michelin comanders=13000 miles average several sets love them = quality tire dunlop e3 = installed last week 600 miles and great so far+ = time will tell my dealership made me an offer to be the"guinea pig" for a set of e3's and at a price that i could not pass up, or i would still be on the michelins. and as i have said before, if a tire is junk, i don't want another one for free, or for me paying to install or any of that crap. if its junk, i don't want another, not even if you pay me to take it. mike

    i had an 82 550 ltd, wow what a great bike! be sure that you keep an eye on your battery level and charging system, as this bike will run like crap on a low or bad battery, or even a dirty connection. and drive you nuts trying to figure it out. i had mine for 116000 miles and when i sold it was running and looking like new. mike. also lived on Arington circle dr. in Arlington Tx. in 1986 when i still owned that (blue) bike

    you could do either one. mike

    with no packing or baffles, it will run too lean and cause engine dammage. if you run with the baffles and no packing, it may be ok if your not running it too hard. i doubt very much that it could ever run lean enough to blue the slip ons, as they are too far from the head/ heat source and due to the larger diameter of the slip on. mike

    your popping on decell is caused from a leak at the connections where the slip on pipes clamp to the head pipes. hold a towel over the tip of the exhaust as to try to plug the end, and you will find where the leak is at. mike

    when i crashed my 1st 2003 rsv in september of 2005, i went on line at the local yamaha dealer and found a new still in the box 2003 rsv in Atlanta Ga. and purchased it for 11k cash out the door i didn't want to re-paint my customer trailer to match a different slower color. then ended up buying the wreck cheap from the insurance company, fixing and selling it for the same amount that i paid for the new one. here they are together before i sold the first one.
