Has someone created a map of where everyone is staying at this year?

Will be home from the cottage late Monday...I think pretty much any day of the week works for me so whatever is best for you.

If you have things to do what day,time is best for you? Could show up with coffee for everyone!

@ReinyRoosterif the reply was for my offer I could probably pick up Thursday or Friday as wife is off work and I don't have to dog sitting! Or would Saturday work? Could see if Don is available, maybe coffee run?

Works for me.

Nope. The 2017 - present won’t fit the RSV. They have changed the size of the inputs.

Nice ride!!

I have a feeling Don will have an almost brand new set of OEM 2025 Road Glide mufflers that might fit the RSV.

Put over 600 miles over the weekend, more than half wearing the helmet, and it gets an A+. Comfortable, reasonably light weight, great visibility and just the right amount of noise reduction. If I had any reservations, it'd be about the chin strap. Comfortable, but takes some getting used to. All in all I have no complaints.

@saddlebum yes it was nice with getting together at Timmies then going for ice cream afterwards! Should have paid more attention to the date as forgot it was long weekend! Also got to ride with 2 other Ventures on the way to Kitchener then I broke off to go to Princes Auto to do some shopping, Over $130 worth!! Looking forward to next one!

Nice bike!

I had a nearly new set of Vance and Hines Torquer 450's on the Harley I traded. Since the new bike takes the same mufflers, I put the original mufflers back one the 22 before I traded it. Put the V&H's on the '25 this morning. Haven't ridden it yet but it sounds good.. IMG_0335.mov

nice bike! i hope you get to enjoy it for many years to come!

Enjoy it!!! Get some riding time with your son.

Nice Don!

So my 98 RSTD is running great...but...it has a tendency to quit or become very difficult to start once the engine and rad are heated. I have heard from another member with this era of RSTD the location of the ignition can be a problem due to excessive heat from the motor and rad. So my question is can the ignition be relocated and if so, is there anyplace on the forum or elsewhere to get the info. I've looked but so far nada, bupkus, squat, diddly, zero. Thanks in advance.

So the 2022 Road Glide Limited is gone. I had strongly been considering saying goodbye to my riding days for some time now. The Road Glide Limited was a great long range touring manchine but now that I've turned 70, it sure was feeling heavy on these. short rides around home. So it was time to let it go. So my riding days are over. But Nay Nay say I. Today I picked up a slightly lighter bike. It is still HEAVY but feels 300 pounds lighter than the limited due to having no tour pack and them lightening the fairing by about 20 lbs. One test ride was all it took and I was sold. It has three factory ride modes. Sport, Rain, and Highway. Plus another one that you can customize to your liking. The salesman told me that in sport mode, Harley has everything dialed up to about 80%. He created a custom mode for me where he set throttle response and everything to 100% and the performance was amazing. It is really too much unless you really want to play hard. I actually put it back into Sports mode and even highway mode on the way home. So what did I buy? A 2025 Harley Road Glide and I have to say I love this thing. It has the new 117 Cu In motor with 105 HP and 130 lbs of torque. It actually feels even stronger. All the modern goodies. ABS, Traction Control, etc. Apple car play, navigation, etc. 12" digital screen that you can customize to your liking. They upgraded the front and rear suspension and added an additional 3 1/2 " travel to the rear. I am just completely impressed with this bike. I got them, to throw in a passenger backrest and a taller "Klock Werks" windshield. Since taking these pictures, I added a riders backrest and the nearly new highway pegs that I took off the '22. I also took the nearly new Vance and Hines mufflers off the '22 and put the stock mufflers on it. The Vance and Hines are the same for this bike also. It is surprisingly loud as is but I''ll probably swap them tomorrow to see how they sound on this bike. I think they had a deeper tone. I went back and forth on the color but ended up buying Iron Horse Metallic.

Would $40 for the carb tuner be reasonable?

Small as it was, It was great to meet up with those who did attend. It may not be as big a gathering as it once was but its nice that some friendships made in previous years still remain today. Thanks Phyill but making the effort to bring us together.

Thank you, I did notice late last night oil getting into that section after cranking the motor enough. That cover is now back on. Now I just need help identifying the coil for ledt and right on the front cylinders

He is really doing the right thing. Baby steps on riding and safety. He is lucky to have you as a mentor for life. This sounds to me that Don is back on the saddle. Enjoy the experience of a lifetime with your son.

Engine and transmission share the same oil. No separate change required. Notchy shifting/hard to find neutral conditions let you know your oil change is overdue.

Turned out to be good day at Ontario greet! 5 members and a guest showed up! 3 vehicles and 3 bikes! Here are some pictures taken!

OK, so I am in the mist of my rebuild I have hit 2 road blocks, I am really hoping someone can point in the correct direction. 2000 venture btw. 1) I have moved things around enough that I have lost track of which ignition coil is for the left and right side on the front of the motor. My coil sit on the back bone, one above and slightly aft, the other below slightly forward. I am thinking the one on top is for the left cylinder. Please let me know if you know. 2) I am having trouble identifying the oil for the transmission, some of this may because I am used to using different terminology than the service manual. I am seeing 2 different things. One is that the final drive use an SAE 80 gear but if I am looking at this right, that is the hub/differential for the rear wheel. I am also seeing the area in question being called the middle drive. I read that this uses the same oil as the motor. Does that mean oil from the motor is being pumped to the transmission? With a separate fill cap behind the chrome cover with the oil fill cap, I am guessing I need to place oil in the transmission, but what kind? Oil is currently in the motor and the second cover on the left is off and no oil is coming out. Thanks in advance

Great bike!
