I am 6' 3'' and some where north of 375 the wife is 5' 4'' i love the leg room and the floor boards being able to preposition my feet on them and highway pegs. She says much more comfortable on it i rode solo in high cross wind Sunday did not notice much difference then first gen. Have not ever rode a 500 mile day yet on either one yet . Still chilly here in Iowa yet so no heat problem yet . If you are in the area stop in and ride her (the bike ) and find out for your self . Can't wait to share the same road with you guys some time maybe at the International.

They say i am hard on the outside but really i am a big softy thus the turtle name . Slow and steady wins the race besides turtles live a long time , and rabbits do 2 things go fast and reproduce past that stage in my life . Time to slow down and talk with friends speed is too much stress at this time I want to take my time and enjoy the serene.

Here are a few pics of the beautiful bike i bought late last season . We met some great people at last years Leaf Lookers ride and they convinced my wife and me that we needed to look at 2 cd gen. Boy were they right still like my first gen but for cruising down the highway what a great ride. I have already add a few personal touches Diamond cut fins and master cylinder covers (thanks Mike), newer style antennas so i now have both and matching , carb covers , Wolo horn (thanks Kathy valentine present) . front bumper . side bag rails (thanks again to my lovely wife), also have side bag top rails yet to install. Also had a copy of my tattoo add to the top of my trunk (Thanks to Eric @ AIR EFFECTS in NORTH LIBERTY, IOWA) i guess i will be stuck with the bike now to bad:(i love when a plan comes together.

Some plastic parts are hard to get primers to lock out . Ifeel you had any cut through the base solve goes through causing the problem. Prime with a water base primer and make sure you have enough fill build even though you can't see a UT through if you don't have enough film build it still can happen.

Look at a dress not going to freeze and when they pour it they lift the rear as they fill it with a rake.

Is it against the road gods to move a bell that some one gave you to a different bike?

Turn them around when she not looking if she says you peeled the wrong end.

I am going to replace the rubber plugs behind the cylinder fins lost one while i had fins off for Diamond Cutting (Thanks Mike ) so i was told if doing one might as well do all. Have not done this before is there anything to watch for or not to do ? i am still looking for a thread for this procedure but paint , body work , and most mechanical i am ok with computer searches not so much. Thanks in advance best site ever and can i say love my bikes 1st and 2cd gen.

We have purchased a 99 rsv and are looking at headsets never had any before. I am looking at a HTC IS MAX I I modular helmet and the wife is looking same style. I would like to be able to use the cb and possible smart phone for music and navigation when needed but also use the radio too. If someone has any suggestions I would appreciate any thoughts
