I have the regular Deer whistles on my bike and truck. Maybe it's just coincidence or maybe they do work, but every Deer I've driven near has run in the other direction or just stood still. The other day the deer was running along side of my truck then veered away into the forest.

Lil' Wolf and I had a Great time Saturday. Sorry we missed meeting Bubba. Looking forward to the next one. DR, what was the date for the St Jude ride in Oct?

I did my pipes. Basically, there is a cone shaped piece of sheet metal around the pipe between the baffle and outer chrome. drill a couple holes in a line from the end of the pipe to the center at the exhaust hole. then be careful to pull the cone metal away from the chrome and remove it completely. Then you can drill several holes spaced neatly around the baffle. The exhaust will rumble louder with more or bigger holes. Good luck and take it slow.

emissions valve relocation, Help!

Condor, I'll put some more time into it. You're right it is a PITA! Rivco makes it sound so easy. -
I have a 2007 Venture & just installed a centerstand. All was well until I scraped the centerstand on a driveway curb. I noticed that the stand was hitting the Emissions Valve, so it wasn't up all the way. I tried to relocate the E valve per the Rivco directions. No luck, the directions seem easy enough, pull the bracket off and mount it backwards. It didn't move the E Valve far enough to allow the centerstand to not contact it. I was thinking of drilling new mounting holes higher up on the frame. Any ideas?

I took the stand off the bike and reversed the front brackets from the outside to the inside, put the stand back on and it works like a charm. Of course I had to use the thick of rolling the rear wheel up on a 2x4 to get more leverage. Thanks again.

I second that! VR has been a great place for finding info and great people! Happy Holidays to all!!!
-
I did notice in the install pics, that it looks like the front brackets are on the inside and the back bracket is wide enough to be on the outside of the stand.

Dingy, I received the stand the other day. I had time to install it yesterday, it went on easy. I tried to lift the bike, but it wouldn't go all the way. I think the front brackets are squeezing the stand. The stand doesn't move freely without the spring. Is it possible that the front brackets should be mounted to the inside of the stand bracket instead of the way it came to me. Did you have the stand mounted in this configuration?

I've been wanting to put a center. Stand on since I bought my RSV. Don't know why they're. not standard equipment. I'm glad the $ is going to the Hospital.

My wonderful wife just put in a bid for my Christmas Present.

I used some JB Weld over some small cracks in my fairing tabs. I think the best thing Star could do is upgrade the windshield/fairing mounts. Why not make them separate? Seems like too much stress and not enough support to mount them together and the tabs on the fairing should be beefier!!

Though I would have liked to ride on the back of the Hot salesgirls bike, the service manager gave me a lift in his truck.

I prefer the E3, as well. The tire the warehouse sent was a 90/16, looked like a front compared to my 85/15.

I did ask for a demo to ride, they didn't bite. They did have a used Harley Dyna with 2 - 6x9 speakers and a power amp in each saddle bag!
