    I love my clearview with the vent. i bout the xxl tinted and i found it really stopped the buffeting and it helped Deb a bit on the back. Its surpising how much the vent helps cool you on a hot day and it also helps with buffetting if you open it a crack. Ive ridden thru a couple of heavy rain days and havnt noticed any major leakage, but it is hard to tell when youre outside in the rain, ... I find i dont get quite as wet with the wider xxl windshield Brian

    Its been so cold out here that its actually making it easier to pronounce sssaaaassskkkaaattcchhheewewwaaannn!!!!! when youre shivering and shaking Brian:smile5:

    I actually get way colder on a bike than i do on a sled. I think its because most bikes are designed to deflect heat away from you, where sleds are designed to take the heat from the engine and deflect it to the rider thru the venting. brian

    I dunno why it works that way, maybe because i was signed in under my name it works kinda like an ebay link in that you hafta be signed in to get to the right page. I did add the name of the Facebook page since i saw your post so you can search for it there. Brian

    youve got a great list there, but there still a couple more that i would do failry quickly i would change out the springs in the front forks to progressives, it makes the handling MUCH better no more bottoming out on bumps. and I would be inclined to spend the bucks to go to stainless line for the brake lines while you have everything apart. it is a fair bit of cash, but the old lines are close to being 25 years old and waiting for the rubber to leak or split open.

    So just what do you want from us Canadians, EH! ? lol I think I am going out fishing tomorrow for some of those slough sharks (northern pikes). Brian

    Well, we kinda are there already, but under a bit different name. try going to http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=21338336667 or search for Yamaha Royal Star Venture and Tour Deluxe Fans and Owners to visit. I dont think Don was involved in setting it up but he does seem to pop in from time to time. Also, here is the page to the rally we put on at Nelson BC Canada, called Kruisn the Kootenays. Check out the pics and the fun. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Kruisn-the-Kootenays-Motorcycle-Rally/180355652633 If anyone else knows of Facebook pages that might interest us it might be good to put a link in here too. Oh yeah, i think you have to be a Facebook member to visit, but what the heck its a free signup. Brian

    Hey, Hey Hey,,no rubbing it in Jack!!! :rotfl:It was below -30c last night and windchill of about -50c . If you keep rubbing that in you might have an extra roomie until summer, lol Brian

    Hi Jack I hope you have a speedy, painfree and full recovery on the carpal tunnel thing. I hope the irregular heartbeat turns out to be minor. Ive had it for about 30 years and my mother for about 60 years. Mine is a minor electrical thing that is regulated be taking a cheap lil pill called atenolol 2 times a day, I hope yours is similar. ya better that arm in shape, just in case you decide to come up to Kruisn the Kootenays to visit us Canadians in July.

    By default its enabled, so I doubt if he has turned it off. I like it for novice users to make it easy to fix issues like this. It does use some system resources, but you can select how much harddrive space it can use so I would rather lose a bit of performance than have to rebuild a machine for someone. Brian:think:

    The quickest and easiest thing would be go to system restore, find the day before you started having issues, follow the directions and let it do its magic. Brian

    I would like one of those fairing bras and luggage liners that Beer30 makes. I dont know if he makes the fairing bra for a G1 but i think it would sure help keep the bugs off the paint. Brian

    Hi Jack I am far from bein any kind of a mechanic and maybe I am missing something, but i cant see why that wouldnt work, Brian
  23. friesman
    Ah u guys are wimps in those temps, on New Years eve we went down to -37c in a 25mph wind for a wind chill of -55c or so. (Im not sure what that exactly is in F but at -40c its also -40f). We have warmed up today though to -13c with sun and no wind. Just doin my part to help Randya feel the warmth where he is....lol:stirthepot: Brian

    A former member (BluesLover) here was at the Michigan Bike show and took this pic of a Yamaha Concept bike. It was supposed to be worth 150k , but i dont see it. Actually i dont like too much about it, but thought you all might like to have a look. Brian
