Freebird

It may depend on what brand of headset you have. I know that with J&M and most others the cord is two piece and you can order a new lower cord for different bikes. Example, my Star Venture uses the same cord as the Harley and still had the cords from when I owned my Road Glide. They work fine on the Star Venture.

Check with @RDawson. I tagged him so he'll probably see this. He has made some very nice ones. I think he is making and selling them but he will need to confirm.

I am NOT Freebird. . Who was that imposter.

Hey, we had plenty of stuff by the Icelandic Black Death is the magic Elixir. . I only had about a pint of it left over from a previous event.

Mr. Puc, you post them wherever you wish. I'm sure everybody will enjoy them regardless. Steven, we were short on Black Death so YamaMama didn't get fueled up enough.

Thanks. I had read that somewhere but never seen a picture of it.

Hey @captdrac and/or @crossbowme , could one or both of you give Craig at Clearview a call? I talked to him on the phone this morning and he told me that he is ready to proceed with a windshield for our bikes. What he needs is a stock windshield which I'm sure he will return to you. He would also like to hear your likes and/or dislikes of the shields that you purchased. I'll send you both a PM with is information. Sure hope that one of you is willing to send him your OEM shield.

Started a Maintenance Day picture thread. I know more of you took some pictures so please add them so that others here will feel bad about not attending. https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?141453-Pictures-from-Freebird-s-Maintenance-Day&p=1062918#post1062918

A few more.

Once again, it was our honor to host you at our home this year for Freebird's Maintenance Day. Eileen and I both love having you here and it sure seems quiet when you are all gone. Here are a few pictures, hope the rest of you post yours also.

I've read that the bike comes with the trunk installed but with the rear bolts not installed or somethings so that the trunk tilts forward so to that the bike fits into a shorter crate. Not sure of the details.

Maybe I didn't read closely enough or you just used a different term for them but did you clean all the jets really well? I'm mot talking about just soaking them but running a small wire through them and soaking and rinsing them again and then repeat a couple of times. I know of several here who have cleaned their carbs and still not gotten the jets unplugged until finally running a wire through them.

I pretty much agree with him. My phone is much easier to put a destination in that the NAV system OR a Garmin. I never use the NAV system on the bike or even in my vehicles. That being said, If it was not working correctly after I paid so much for a bike, I would still expect it to be repaired.

No apologies necessary but you were missed. Several people asked about you. Hope to see you again soon.

I've owned three RSVs. All of them would exceed 105 MPH. With the speedo corrected on all, I've seen 112 to 117 on all three. The 117 came on my second '99 model with the Dynatech module and the VMax rear end. NOTE....it is TRUE that they will actually run faster in 4th gear than 5th. My highest speeds on all three, even with the VMax rear, was in 4th gear. Now you weigh more than me so I can't say that's not affecting your final results. I'm am 6'3" and around 200 lbs. Probably 210 at that time.

Definitely 3 drain plugs. I didn't have an oil filter wrench, actually I do but didn't find it until the next day, but it looks to me like a small strap wrench would work just fine.

It has rained a lot here and rained again today. The yard is pretty wet and we've had so much rain, it is saturated and has nowhere to go. It's supposed to be a day of sunshine tomorrow so hopefully things will dry out a bit. If so, there shouldn't be an issue with tents and etc. if you stay on the higher areas but the usual driving across the yard will likely be a bad idea. I recommend you all riders try to stay on the gravel driveway. I'll be here to sort of guide and direct but just warning you that getting stuck will be pretty easy if you get off in the grass. First arrivals this year were Yamamama and Moped. They got here this afternoon and are all settled in. Looking forward to other arrivals tomorrow.l

Where is that?

Yea, that's the one that I mentioned in my first post that is sold by Big Bike Parts. I've not seen it in person but a couple of posts have stated that it's a bit flimsy. Other reports have been OK though. It also only comes in clear and I would prefer one that it lightly tinted.
