HI Everyone, I'm new here- I'm a little bored with my Roadstar and found someone with with a Royalstar that wants to trade me. He came by my work, we rode each other bikes around the parking lot, so far so good. Tomorrow we are gonna take a longer ride at lunch and if things are as they seem, we will trade strait across. Both bike have around 50k miles. Is there some crazy maintenance I'll have to do with the Royalstar? ANything I need to look for? Both bikes have apes, and are quite customized. Mine has stretched harley bags, tricky air custom fenders, exhaust and his has custom wheels, fenders and stereo. I think I just want things a little simpler, just get on and go. I almost created too much of a custom bike. I always have scraping in the back of my mind with the bags and air, and it's loud as heck. And if my girl is on the back- oh geez- even more to worry about. Anyways, that why I'm here- doing my due diligence on this trade. Thanks for your time.

OK, I miss my first gen already, although the royalstar is significantly quicker, I have too much wind even with the lower deflector wings on the forks. I was thinking of putting on a fairing to decrease the wind on the bars, but don't know if a fairing made for the roadstar would fit a 00 Stock Royalstar. I have the speedo on the tank, so no issues there. Any input? I noticed several with RSTD's that the speedo becomes the problem. Or would I be better off putting Flanders bars on and the a harley fairing. I already have a trunk and hard saddlebags in mind. Maybe I would have been better off waiting for a RSV in my price range to come along.

Hello all, I've been a rider for a good many years now, but I'm new to the RoyalStar Family. I recently picked up a 1997 RoyalStar with only 6600 miles, so I would think that she is still fairly fresh for the most part. So, my question comes from an observation following an eighty (80) mile ride the other day. After the ride I decided to dust her off a bit, and in doing so, touched the rear differential only to discover that it was very warm. Not hot enough to cause a blister, but uncomfortable warm just the same. I did pull the filler bolt far enough to see some oil start to ooze out of the filler hole...so there is oil in there. Question: is this a normal characteristic of a shaft drive motorcycle? All of my prior bike where of the "chain & sprocket" type. Many thanks Ron Malizia
