    Stay with the 7.3 mileage is not the best (I get 14 on my 00) but like the the venture they run and run. I have a neighbor with a 99 and over 450,000 on it, had since new. Most of those are local (town miles). Never had any major work done to it.

    Rednecks and Farmers will come up with some ingenious ways to solve problems (spoken from experience!)

    "Someday I'll tell ya about the John Deer tractor we had to recover that was hanging from an Oak tree. That you don't see every day. " More likely to see that in your neck of the woods. Lived in St Louis for a while and currently in Central FL twisters throw some wild things around.

    I regularly read the Roadbike rag on the news stands. I was going thru the Nov '10 issue and found an article on group riding on page 73. Looked at the picture on the first page (only way to truly read any rag or book) and saw two RSV's in the foreground of the pic. Are these anyone here??? If so you have made national publication. That was the Nov '10 issue of Roadbike on page 73.

    I know recently when I was shopping Ins. I kept getting reminded that I live in the "Sunshine State" (FL) and I have to pay for that sunshine and the option of having a year round riding season. Although neither the wife or I have had a ticket or accident (reported) in over ten years.

    Does anyone know what side the fuel sender is located on. I looked in the parts drawings and cannot tell. I would expect that it would be on the left with the petcock, but stranger things have happened. If it is on the right and you were to take a hard right turn (on ramp to big road) could you move enough fuel to the right side of the tank to cause this to happen? There is no crossover on these tanks except for the tail end of the tank which extends below the back bone.

    I like it! Thought of doing something like it since the wife doesn't ride. As for the antenna, I removed both of mine since I don't use the CB either and used a cheap after market from Auto Zone worm clamped a ground to it and zip tied it to the frame structure under the fairing. Good looking ride, thanks for the post!

    I installed an HID kit and did not like the one I got, no true high beam, and interfered with my AM/FM. I changed to the Silver Star and like the light, what also has helped is that I have changed the passing lights to a brighter H3 bulb. I had to change the housing/lens, but worth the $20.00 investment. I ride mainly at night as I work 3rd shift and I do appreciate the added light but still want my tunes.

    At last count you had six bikes, you need another sheet of plywood.

    I used this nut and tacked a washer to it to provide a larger seat. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0161913&ucst=t

    Not sure about wheel chock, check with some trailer dealers in your area they should have some ideas. Etrack was a lot of different accessories that will work well such as d rings and modular straps. Good luck

    You could slit the baffle in the top and tack a washer into place with out separating the entire baffle. I would be afraid that if you did not put the restricter in you would loose your back pressure.

    Thanks again!

    I was wondering about that when I read it also. Hope someone will post a little more info. I get 36 whether in town or on the big road. As for transmission slipping, could be clutch springs. This bike will run. If you like to ride a little hard try to shift without the clutch. You will know if you are reaching high enough R's, it will shift easily without clutch.

    I have been using the Skull Candy in canal buds for years now. I work in manufacturing and use them on occasion. Good as ear plugs. For me they have the best sound quality I have found for buds. As for riding, can't do it. Can't hear what is going on around me. Even in the cage, I have to have a window cracked to hear what is happening outside. Bub's and speakers are loud enough that I sometimes have trouble hearing sirens. Safety concern. Besides, I thought is was illegal in most states to operate with headphones?

    Thought I saw some on Pinwall the other day if no one comes up with any.
