In my opinion, you shouldn't touch the fuel/air mixture unless you have the problem gas analyzers to do it. Unless it's already been messed with and it doesn't make any difference. Most folks sync the carbs at around 1,000 RPM. Some argue that it is better to sync them at higher RPMS but according to the manual and my personal experience, around 1,000 does just fine.

The short answer is NO. There is no guaranteed fix. Swapping the clutch basket with an "I" version has been known to reduce it, move it to a different RPM range, or in rare cases, pretty much eliminate it completely. Results vary.

That could be any windshield. Those are aftermarket vents and many of us have installed them in various shields.

Heather, Thank you so much for your post. I know that you are going through a very difficult time and this had to be hard for you. Please know that Steve had a lot of friends here. I have met and ridden with him a couple of times and communicated with him often. He was not only a member here but a friend to many. He will not be forgotten. Don

Here was my first one. My brother and I actually shared this first one. Not for long though. I bought my own shortly thereafter. This was a Honda S90. We shared it for a couple of months and then I bought a Harley 250 Sprint and the 90 became fully his. I think I was 14 at the time.

Folks...Miles is gone for personal reasons. Please let it go.

I've looked for years and not found anything. I even talked to a company about making us some but the prototype fee was $10,000.00. Just wasn't enough interest to pursue it.

See this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=80908

OK...it IS a little pricey but that is really a nice product. Now my helmets have the dual shields with a clear outside shield and a flip down tinted sunshield on the inside. The entire helmet was cheaper than this shield but still....it IS cool.

HEY....Harley has some nice rain gear but no tall sizes. I'm finding riding pants and jackets in tall sizes that have waterproof liners. Not sure if that is the same as a rain suit though. Some of them are sized to be worn over street clothes though. They are also expensive as compared to regular rain gear.

I need some new rain gear. I have been using Frogg Toggs and they are OK but I want to step up to something a bit more substantial this time. The problem is, I can't seem to find anything with a long enough inseam. I find some tall sizes at some outdoor type stores but they don't have the heat shields on the legs to protect against hot exhausts and etc. Any of you know of anything?

No, sorry but we do not. I highly recommend them though.

Is that the name? OEM Cycle? Never heard of them personally.

Yes, I've looked at that list before. You will see that MOST of them are marinas. There are a handful of others but nothing really close enough to me to make it worth the drive.

It just reaches a point where you have to decide how bad you want it. I don't want it that bad. I'll just suffer through the ethanol. Drive 25 or so miles, pay a LOT more for gas at the marina prices around here, wheel it back to the truck, load it into the truck, drive 25 or so miles back home. No thanks.

All grades in Ohio also have ethanol. About the only gas you can find without it is at marinas and there are no pumps there except at the docks. Long walks to fill up a 5 gallon can and walk back to the vehicle with it.

This event has been cancelled.

Folks, I thought I had deleted all the information regarding that event. Snarley Bill has cancelled it due to the fact that there seemed to be very little interest at this time.

What it all means is .... it is up to you. I've always run mine in the reserve position. Basically because it gives me a warning when I get low and am not paying attention to the gas gauge. That has happened a few times. I then just reach down and turn it to reserve and have never had it die before I got it switched. Now I'm having to pay more attention. The new Road Glide has no reserve/shutoff valve at all.

Colorite will recommend that you use their clearcoat with their paint. I disagree. I know of at least a couple of folks who have used their clearcoat and it "yellowed" fairly fast. I think V7Goose ran into that problem. I would just us a quality automotive clearcoat.

Eck, I would LOVE to do that but unfortunately, I'm getting a bit low on vacation time. Gotta save some of it for the holidays.

I was determined to get more saddle time this year. The Harley is just a coincidence of it all. Things have FINALLY calmed down around here just a bit. Don't know how long it will last so I'm trying to take advantage of it. I've had the Harley now for 5 weeks I think...maybe 6...and have put almost 5,000 miles on it. That's more than I rode all year last year.

Had a nice ride today that ended up in Waldo, OH. Any of you been there? D&R Tavern is famous for it's bologna sandwiches. This was my first time and I quickly realized why it was so popular. FANTASTIC! It is also a very biker friendly establishment and the bikes lined both sides of the street. It is worth the visit if you are ever in the area. Cash only, no credit cards. http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurant/Overview/4793/gr-tavern

I think you will need Larry's adapter even with the JS Lift. The video shows it being used on a Harley. The Harley engine doesn't drop down lower than the frame as the RSV does. Any lift you buy will need some type of adapter for the RSV. Larry's adapter should work with most any brand lift.

I agree. That will be fine for running and cleaning it out before winter. I never actually do that though. I add one full can to a full tank of gas before parking it for the winter. Have done that for the past 10 years and it has worked well for me. I ride it to the gas station about 2 miles away, fill it up and add the Seafoam there and then ride it home. I figure that gets it into the carbs, lines, etc.
