Yesterday while riding on the Highway I noticed my windshield was getting closer to my helmet, then I saw the plastic chrome piece lifting up and my windshield was lifting up. I eased up on the throtle and put my left hand up to hold the winshield in place when it broke free from my fairing. I was lucky and had a grip of it and pulled over without a miss hap. The one screw holding it solid to the fairing was off and inside my fairing. One screw was lost and the others where still screwed in but the windshield just pulled out since they are open ended slots. I was lucky, and I have never understood why Yamaha only made one connection for the windshield.

Any body ever mounted a Venture engine on one of those engine stands?? I've used them for big V8's before so I know the stand will handle the weight. What I'm wondering is will the V4 mounting holes withstand the torque??? Just looking for info from someone who's been there... Thanks.. I'm also on the hunt for an engine hoist. I'm getting too old to be lifting heavy stuff any longer. I'm finding I need to call someone to help with the lifting more and more often....

My current ride is a V*1100. Using a lift under it is quite interesting because the engine is lower than the frame. I use hockey pucks strategically placed on the lift arms to avoid lifting the bike by the engine (although some have said that is no big deal). My question is: Does the RSV have a flat bottom frame with the bottom of the engine above the bottom of the frame? Or is it like the V* and creativity time again? Thanks from a prospective RSV buyer.
