Something funny is going on at Walmart and it ain't plumbing trouble.Live near one shut down.Cop's outside say it was gutted.This can not be?Wall street went crazy today,things are falling apart.It is over.The party is over.

I am scared to touch the dang thing.Give me a regular car regulator.

I have had a Yamaha receiver for years,I got it.I am talking 1982.This stuff today is greek.I am pissed,how do you pick a station?I doubt I ever get C.D. player to work. what a waste of money.This unit is 2009.I am still lost.I just want to change stations.Thanks
-
I would pay that.I have an unusable C.D. player I went to yamaha shop to fix things after I by accident turned things to headphones.He danced around and got it back to speakers.Hell,I am afraid to change radio stations now,I miss the car radio in the dash now.This audio system is beyond me. No more car radio's in dash.I found a station I like,that is it.No way I am gonna mess with things.No this ain't what I want.What a waste.

Been there at least in a car.Sometimes it seems it does not pay to be nice guy.

Those are nice,never ever saw those,what i have seen went on battery side cover.Went between the raised area's.I have looked everywhere,but only found chrome side covers.I thought the inserts looked great.Where did those come from?

Is there anybody that lives near or in Tulsa County of Oklahoma?Riding solo has it's limit's.
-
Where does a new guy pay up?I missed that part.

Sound's fun.

Looked at paint again,fantastic.You sure picked a guy with talent.Did some of that years ago.Enough to know that is nice work.I understand the amount of work you put in.Be proud,you did good.

Nice job,who ever did it has talent. Would like to do something like that in memory of my wife.She died 5 years ago this month because of breast cancer.So far only have pink ribbon guardian bell.Wish there was a pink flag,need to look.Or a Black flag to show how I despise the cancer industry.I can not get started here.Oh I want to.

I have seen photo's of R.S.V's with either a chrome or brushed steel insert on side covers.Where did they come from?The entire side cover was not chrome.Did we lose this supplier?

I remember 45k, my bike was just over 2 years old. she's not broken in just yet at 200k
That is awesome,I knew the motor could do it.What items have had to be replaced?I am at a lowly 18,000 mi.

Some fella has a series on You Tube called Livin off the slab,he has a video on now called "Name this Bike" I think it was.But somebody got pic's of a test mule on the road.Some think it is a Victory,I think it is a Yamaha.Same rear passenger boards as a R.S. It may be the next Venture.Frame mounted fairing and larger trunk.The Fairing looks Kawasaki,trunk looks Harley.Appears to be V-Twin.Front crash bars look like mine,I don't think it is a Victory.I think Kawasaki or Yamaha.If it is Yamaha,I doubt it will be released this fall.Sorry I do not know how to post link.I stumbled on it looking for exhaust videos.

Sam's sells a fantastic L.E.D. light fixture for $37 with anything you need to mount. It is almost like daylight,and the weight is nothing.Item # 284351,for the price I can't see it beat.I just ordered a 3rd one.Draws 40 watts,no buzz can't comment on cold temp's yet.Even Amazon can not match the price.I am amazed how bright it is.As close to daylight in the driveway as possible.I only post this because I feel this is a awesome deal.Sure makes the paint on my tank pop.Amazon does have this if you are not a Sam's member. But it was like $47 plus shipping.Check it out,it's great.

I'm happy with the performance,I just wanna hear some engine "music". My last bike was an 1800 VTX,so I was at first leary of getting a 1300.This bike turned out to have plenty enough power,I am satisfied for sure.The fit and finish of the RSV exceeds the VTX 1800,also had a VTX 1300 everything was plastic on it.With my RSV I think I have the bike to finish out my riding day's.Turned 60 in June,after 46 years riding,every time out is an extra Blessing.It is still as fun as my 1969 Honda 70 was.
-
Thanks,I did go out and pull up the padding and saw that it looked easy.I just get a mindset that I don't wanna work on it.Plus in August in Oklahoma the garage is usually like a sauna.We had a rare day today,low 70's out but I don't have the new exhaust yet.Now if I could master the radio,C.B. and C.D. player operation LOL.Electronics make me feel old.

I love riding bikes but ain't crazy about working on one.I want to change exhaust and expect that means bag removal.Can someone tell me how in a nutshell to best get them off?Thanks,I'm sure to most on here that is a simple task.
-
Is there hope to find a good speaker that won't distort over a whisper?It suck's that the aftermarket ignores us.Can not believe how any model Harley has limitless accessories.I can not afford the buy in or up keep of H-D,that is OK I love my bike.I just want a better speaker that I can hear when moving.There has to be something better than O.E.M. speakers.

I had Baron Nasty Boyz 4-2-4 on my '07 Many people told me they sounded like a small block Chev V-8. I have a used set for sale is you are interested.
I am interested in your set,sent ya a P.M.

Considering slip on's but have never heard any in person,so unsure what brand to buy.I want more of the glass pack on a V-8 sound not loud as drag pipes.Also concerned about backfire or popping,would rather not re-jet.I would like to hear some info on these issues.Found great prices on Amazon of all places for a set from Barons and L.A. Choppers,$330 range.But half of the 5 reviews of L.A. Choppers said they had to reinstall upside down end caps due to being screwed up from factory.The Barons had zero reviews.Thanks for any help.By the way,Amazon has quite a few items for RSV's I was surprized to see.The prices were a lot better than any place else.
Another exhaust question from a new guy.

I bought the Baron's 4-2-4 exhaust from Gary A.K.A. vzuden and am very happy with them.It reminds me of a V-8 with glass packs.Sounds great pulling from a stop but not overbearing at all when at cruising speeds.Loud enough for me to enjoy,but not gonna piss off people and make them dislike bikes.I care about doing things that put bikes in a bad light.They look good too.Some will disagree but noise doesn't mean you are safe.When I was hit by a car in 1970,if I had no exhaust it would not have prevented it.Just my opinion,don't want to fire anyone up.
