Rear turn signal taillight conversion
MrRadi8 replied to dharnie's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I went with Customdynamic's blinker set. http://www.customdynamics.com/motorcycle_dynamic_clusters.htm Yes it's more expensive. Yes it's worth it for triple lights back there that are BRIGHT! Easy to connect back to the wires behind the license plate. Click my gallery for a bad pic of them with my LED taillight. -
Rough enough to lose a friend much less out from under you. Sorry to hear that.

New Owner - Best and most critical mods?
MrRadi8 replied to jimtxas's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Safety 1st is what I went after. Brighter headlight bulb and modulator. Comagination has a combo with the brake and headlight. The rear is fatally dark. LED board brake light and I added run/stop/turn LED signal lights. All from Customdynamics. Stebel horn - stock is a joke. Get noticed!! Still needed - Driving lights with Amber lens (cause I want it that way). Then comfort; Pipes for sound (I have RK), backrest I find very necessary (Utopia), wire for aux plug to my MP3 player, speakers (alpine) and amp (still sitting in my garage). Went smaller front tire (Avon) and love it, need to add my lowering kit. -
None of that stuff does. Which is why I want to hear them on a Venture, not online.

What's that look like in the daylight?
-
I'd love to hear a set on a Venture. I loved them on my ACE1100 but it's two different critters.
-
My local ACE Hardware store carried blanks for my scoot. Which made me a whole lot happier than only having the one set, the non-ignition one bent!

On the advice of counsel I'm required to not respond with any oil plug drain data...

What/Where is the German restaurant? I get up to the 'ville every couple of months or so. Good eating at Outlaw BBQ in E-town if you haven't tried it. Featured on the Food Channel.

The roommate because he plagiarized and my son because he did not adequately protect his work allowing his roommate the opportunity to plagiarize. Really? Where EXACTLY IN WRITING is it stated that is a requirement? No paper can be left in the open, no computer left unattended? BULL****! Nope, I'd be up the Dean's ass with this crap. Where is the past judgments? Notification of the responsibility? What a bunch of crap. Edit: Glad to hear it somewhat worked out, but it was still ridiculous that it was handled that way.

Any you walk away from is good, any you ride away from is great. Glad to hear they are doing fine-ish.
-
iespell.com will take care of some of that. For the other, good luck.
-
Have a pic of them mounted?
-
Go clear lens with the LED Dynamic Clusters from Customdymanics. Red run/stop and a ring of amber signal LEDs. I love mine and really helps the rear along with my brake LED light. Clears were $5/each at the stealer since they are a stock item for the new RSV.

Naturally. It's the holidays so time to get sick. Many around the office and such are fighting similar things. Roll with it and roll on.

Why do you think I said kick in the shin? Then they can run away!
-
Whomever is closest to him ride over there now and KICK HIM RIGHT IN THE SHIN!!!

Who did you use? Haul Bikes How was the pickup done? In my driveway by a rider/driver. How was the delivery done? Did you have to be there to meet it or could they hold it until you showed up? They were called and it was put in the garage. Were you satisfied? Very. Anything I need to look out for? Read the fine print and make sure you agree with the paperwork they fill out for condition. Wish I could remember the company I used. It was a 3rd party outfit that used Haul. Might take a bit longer but it was 1/2 the price of regular shipping. Sent an RSV to North Dakota in the winter so he didn't care when it got there, and ACE1100 to NC. Neither shipments were excessively long.

It seems like everywhere you look today we are developing alternate ways to communicate. Talking face to face has all but disappeared. And as I type this on the web forum... :rotf: Sorry. I agree with much of it but I just had to say it.

Tough to remember something that you never do, and after the course won't do again! I've never turned off my fuel. Goofy.
-
I'm offended that you... Nah. Great post and thoughts. There's great info here and people to help even the completely stupid when they can't get rightly-tighty lefty-loosey correct. Glad you take the time to be concerned. You can't please everyone all the time but you can piss someone off almost all the time. You practice what you preach. And it shows. Thanks.

I ran Norton for years and got tired of it not getting some crap off my machine. Since a recommendation by an IT worker I've run the free version of Avast and been very happy with it. Couple of years now and still happy. I run it and use the free versions of Ad-Aware and Spybot. Very, and I mean very rarely (in fact I can't remember the last one) I would get something I couldn't kill normally. Then I run Ad-Aware and Spybot in a Safe Mode start up and bang; it's dead. Never run without something. Way too many haters of Gates. Trouble is, they can only write the junk they do because of what he's written. If they were so superior, they could make the bucks as well and drive our of business like VHS did Beta.

I had an RSV that I stupidly sold and was bikeless for a time. In between I rode the Wing and the K1200LT. Yes, I loved the reverse on them and thought it would be great to have. But it wasn't enough to make me not buy another RSV. Pre-plan most my spots and just deal with what life hands me on the others and make the best of it, grunting as I move.
-
Yes, they are running and turn signals. The rears are only turn signals.

Bike kicked, brackets bent - what is with people today?
MrRadi8 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
Are you sure they are being kicked and not some idiot driver hitting them? With the antics I've seen in the parking lots these days I would wonder. Either way, I hate hearing about damage being done.
