KB2RWW Posted March 13, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2016 During my lunch break at work the other day I was surfing the net and found these really nice 1999 second gen at a reasonable price with 77000 miles on it. I contacted the seller and couldn't believe it was still for sale, so I took and drive yesterday and well you know the rest. Now the fun starts, I'll be asking you all for help/information. The first is the exhaust. I think it's too loud. It has the Harley street glide slip-on exhaust on it right now and i do have the original to put back on. I'm used to a little loud with a deep Rumble like my 84 has with its aftermarket pipes. The question is what do you all run on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB2RWW Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted March 14, 2016 So i took it out for my first real spin today and it's not as loud as i thought but need to get more time in the saddle with it. I did notice pop'n and backfiring once and a while when i was out. "probably needs a tun up" other tan that I was in heaven during the ride, You second gen riders have bean keeping this a dirty little secret. "lol it's safe with me" I'm now official spoiled and never want to go back and ride my first gen again. Now the next question is how do you move the back rest foreword? I only see adjustment for up/down. need to move it forward 2" to properly support me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoarizona Posted March 15, 2016 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2016 Where to put a sticker? Good question. I wrestled with that myself with the national parks senior pass. finally put it on center bottom of windshield. At least I can't see it there...AND...didn't like goobering up the looks of the forks either. In defense of 1st gens...they really are faster and carve corners like nothing else....but the 2nd gen ride is very nice indeed... BTW, nice looking scoot.

utadventure Posted March 15, 2016 Share #9 Posted March 15, 2016 I had a sticker for the national parks so I laminated it, punched holes and zip tied it on the forks. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted March 15, 2016 Share #10 Posted March 15, 2016 When I was stationed in Oklahoma in the USAF we had to have a state inspection sticker and a base sticker. I never wanted to "perminatley" put them on most anything I owned. So I would find a place that I didnt mind and make a plate to fit the sticker and then bolt it to the forks. At that time I used fender brace bolts or something like that. The base sticker had to be able to bee seen straight ahead while approaching the gate guard. Inspection sticker I usually had mounted more hidden. Maybe fabricate a little plate and mount it to the right (or left) front fork reflector.

KB2RWW Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted March 15, 2016 Thank you djh3, that was what i was thinking about doing "using the mounting bolt for the reflector". NY requires that it be visibly from the left front side and on a permanent part of the bike like the fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lug Nut Posted March 15, 2016 Share #12 Posted March 15, 2016 Well I just bought a 2nd gen....and it has the Barons Nasty Boys 4-2-4 exhaust. It's very loud. And I have a Roadstar with Vance & Hines Longshots which is loud Soni am used to it. However, the Barons on my RSV are pretty annoyingly loud.

videoarizona Posted March 16, 2016 Share #14 Posted March 16, 2016 I can't use the bolt for the reflectors...that's where my LED light is instead of the reflector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted March 20, 2016 Share #15 Posted March 20, 2016 Ehhhh, just McGuiver a plate that bolts either to where the reflector mounts or where the caliper mounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
