    Sad News

    Wow! Prayers up and thoughts out for the family.
  9. After a short absence from the site I’m finally back. Met a wonderful lady a couple years ago that loves to ride as much as me and we’ve covered nearly 15,000 miles and 35 states together. We made made a few changes of late. I picked up a nice 2007 RSV in October. We sold our GL-1500 Trike and 3 weeks later found us a 2007 RSV Hannigan trike. We now have a set of twins, (a bi-pod and a tri-pod) Traded my 1999 RSV for a 2003 V-Max thats in near new condition. Still have the 1983 VR and finely got her back close to where she was before the fire. We are in the process of completing a 24’x24’ shop/man cave where I can work on stuff and just hang. All in all it’s been a good year.
  10. Our thoughts and prayers are with your brother and you as well during these times and trials.
  11. If I remember an MU 90-16 and MT 90-16 is the same size, just a different load ratings with the “MU” being the higher. If so Dennis Kirk still has some in stock.
  12. I’ve done it a number of times but...I also have a motorcycle loader in my truck so I don’t crash trying to ride into the bed.
  13. In my opinion Metzler suck on the RSV. I’ve had 2 delaminates on my 99 and would never use them again. I like the Dunlop E3 if you can find them and have gotten 12k + miles out of the rear. The front has 14k and still has 40% tread left. I just picked up an 07 and putting the E3s on it. That’s my thoughts but as everything goes from oil to spark plugs gaps we all have our own opinions.
  14. Ice it up, take some Aleve, and get out on the road. Hope the Med gets better quickly.
  15. Wow Bob, so glad you were able to walk away without injury to yourself but sorry your Venture was totaled. Glad you also got back on the horse so soon. Ride safe and hope everything else is well in So-Cal.

    New Ride

    Nice looking ride Doug, you did good!
  17. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and to all of our brothers and sisters. Everyone ride safe!
  18. Out thoughts and prayers are with him and the family.
  19. A very sad day indeed. I never had the opportunity to meet Dan but read most of his posts. Our thoughts prayers go out for him and his family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
  20. Just changed all the taillights to LED,s. It has the old style “trucker” type single bulb lights and the new ones are much better. The clear ones are red run and brake and the ambers are one center as a run light with all for turn signal.
  21. We are planning a long ride this year and thought about doing the tent thing for much if it to save some money. Tried that last yeas a bit but it rained every day during one so spent every night in motels. This year we will be gone about month and will be riding somewhere around 10k miles. We are also planning on staying multi-nights in some places to see more of the area so we picked up a nice used camp trailer to try out. Kind of a cool set up with ample storage a queen bed and places for a camp stove and more. Looking forward to seeing places out and away from the mainstream roads.

    Pipes

    I put a set of LA Choppers on my 99 back in 2012 and did some experimenting with how much wrap to use for the sound I wanted. This is with 3 wraps using 0000 steel wool. I later took of one wrap and liked the louder sound more. May change them back to a 3 wrap after this years riding season.
  23. Took mine off because they were damaged and I like the look without them. Handles the same or maybe even a bit better in my opinion. Haven’t been able to find the reason for having the weight but it’s not for balancing.
  24. Will be changing mine out today but will leave the rubber off since the LEDs can get hot around the heat sinc. Don’t want to have to smell hot rubber while riding
  25. Found these 100watt LED bulbs in ebay. Had to hog out the housing a little but pleased with the change. Brighter than the H3 LED’s and around 6000k white. Under $12 shipped. Going to be changing out the old H4 headlight bulb to LED today.
