I just bought one of these last week: http://www.kosonorthamerica.com/koso/shop/volt-meter-motorcycle_gauges/super-slim-style-volt-meter-4/. Hoping to have it installed in a week or two.

Carl......I'm not saying you're old buddy......just saying.....well.......you're old!!! Bwahahaha! Happy Birthday buddy!

You know you don't have to leave just beacuse you don't currently ride a Venture.

Very nice Steve, congratulations.

I always knew this site was amazing and full of great people......I was just reminded of this again this week.....a member recently posted a picture and in the picture I saw an after-market item on his bike that I was also thinking of buying. I PM'd him to ask about it, and the interesting mount that he had for it. It turns out he made the mount himself, and when I asked if he had more pictures or plans for the item so that I could have one made for myself, he asked for my address and sent me one! Said he was "paying it forward"!! I would like to say who it was but I don't want that to cause an avalanche of headaches as a result. I will pay him for the shipping costs. So, I feel it is my turn to pay it forward......I have 4 new in the box speedbleeders that I had purchased for my 2000 Wing and never got around to installing them before I sold the bike. There are 3 SB8125L - two for the front brakes and one for the rear brake, and 1 SB8125LL - for the clutch. They will fit a '95-2000 Wing....FREE...you pay the shipping, which considering the weight, should be next to nothing. First one that speaks up owns them.

O.K....name these desparodos...

Oh man Russ......I was going to carve you a beautiful life size statue of .......me!! Now you haven't given me enought time to get that done....oh well.....have to scrap that idea.....

WOW!!

I have been on this new to me RSV since last fall and never experienced any lock-up with the brakes. Think you have some work to do.

I believe that security update has caused a problem.....I didn't receive my membership shareholders dividend payment this week..........:rotf:

I have not had the pleasure of meeting Buddy, but will keep him in my prayers. Best of luck.

Hope it was too embarrassing a picture!

Born in '84!!! Heck, I got shoes older then that!

Not sure about the Rivo centre stand but I just mounted one of Don's old first gen stands modified for 2nd gen and had to make some adjustments on how far out the mounting bolt heads were to control how far "over" centre the bike went.....once I got the adjustment right, she was easy to get up onto the centre stand when she wasn't going way past centre.

Having just come off a 2000 Wing, you'll enjoy the ride...as you said...smooth, quiet and pwerful. My only issue with it was the seating position that aggravated my hip....otherwise I would still be riding that.

schmily, I have that issue about half the time I ride to work..I fold my sports coat in half the long way and then roll it up and put it in a bag.......once at work, just unroll and hang and it seems to be O.K.

Yes.....disconnecting the batter will work....I just did that last week and everything was reset back to zero.

Cheesehead, we have one law here in Ontario you should know about.....if there is an emergency vehicle with lights activated on the shoulder, you need to slow down and if it's safe to do so, you need to move over a lane....the idea is to give all emergency people at roadside a buffer area. As mentioned earlier as well, if stopped by LEO, you need to be able to produce 3 things...your licence, the vehicle permit and a valid insurance slip, and DOT approved helmets are mandatory.

Since doing my first oil change on my 06 and using Delo, unfortunately it seems to me that my chirping has actually gotten louder.......not what I was hoping for.

Mike...let me know if/when you're going to the Guelph location....it's a 10 minute ride from my place and I always enjoy an excuse to go visit that store!

My cousin on the farm got me hooked when we started riding dirt bikes on the farm...I was about 12.....been riding since.....some gaps in there due to children rearing responsibilities.....got back at it about 12-13 years ago and haven't looked back since. Can't live without it......well at least not live happily....

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Bob.

Big thumbs up for Steve's light bar....lots of light and simple enough to install that even an electrically challenge dummy like me had it in and working in minutes.

Excellent!

So Don, if I understood your first post of this thread, you were merely fishing to see if there was enough interest in these shirts to make an order financially viable...correct...or are you to the point of actually having a solid price and taking orders. Any response on the question of long sleeves? Thanks.
