    RSTD Cowling

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Guys,

     

    I am looking at an 2008 RSTD and it looks similar to my 1996 RS save for hard saddlebags, speedo panel, and two wind deflectors (cowlings?) on both sides of the radiators. They look too bulky to be just wind deflectors.

     

    My question is: what do those "cowlings" do? Are those just wind deflectors or do they hold something inside?

     

    Thanks!

    Baron Big Air Kit - Worth It?

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    I am thinking of installing Baron Big Air Kit on my 96 Royal Star:

    But I don't want to spend $300+ if the performance increase is insignificant.

     

    Does anybody have experience with this product?

    How much power increase do you get? 10HP? 25HP? 50HP? 15 lb-ft? 30 lb-ft?

    Does this product worth $300 or is it overpriced?

     

    Thanks guys!

    KY 227 is a favorite road for motorcyclists in Central Kentucky because of the twists.

     

    Here is 15-min video of me going through KY 227:

    Anybody have experience on Road Star?

    I looked at the bike yesterday. It had Vanes Hines pipes so it sounded RRRReally good, and plenty of torque. But it vibrated more than my Royal Star. It was nice for short range and get people's attention :) but I can't see myself in it for a long range. I guess I'll be happier on a RS/RSV.

    There's a 2007 Road Star Silverado on craiglist for 18k miles. It looks good and seems to be well-maintained. I'm interested to buy it.

     

    Does anybody have experience with 1700 Road Stars? How does it fare compare to RS/RSTD/RSTC/RSV in terms of:

    - reliability

    - handling

    - power

    - fuel consumption (i.e. mileage)

    - comfort

    - ease of maintenance

    - spare parts availability

     

    Thanks in advance, this site rocks!
