Some seem to pretty much last forever so I doubt I would change it out as preventative maintenance item.

Robb, It seems unlikely that what you did would have damaged the stereo. Are you sure that you are checking the correct fuse? There is one inside the lower right cowling. You have to remove the cowling to get to that fuse box.
-
That's OK....the important thing is that you found it and besides, after all the ice cream, I needed the exercise.
-
We were loading it up to take it to the shop. Big Tom squeezed in there after the ice cream and couldn't get back out. We had to widen the door.

Happy Birthday my little red headed PITA. You know I love you.
-
I agree...you look like you belong there.

You are correct Brad...it stayed on just long enough for the photos. As for MD 2012? It's going to be MUCH harder my friend.

Here are about 220 pictures that Eileen took this year. Enjoy. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Maintenance%20Day%202011/

Well maybe so but guess what I'm doing right now? I'm eating home made Ice Cream. There was a LOT of leftover ice cream and it's ALL mine now...ALL MINE.

How Many Miles Before Your RSV Clutch Slipped?
Freebird replied to OB-1's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I agree...just do it already. You will most likely never have to do it again. Mine was not slipping but Earl was kind enough to do the upgrade over the weekend. -
Who is that old man with Monty's girlfriend?

HEY...my wife's in that group...I guess it's time to have a little chat with her.

Looks like I ended up with an extra torque wrench. It is in a red case. PM me with your address if it is yours and I'll get it mailed.

Eddie had his chromed and they turned out very nice. You might want to shoot him a PM for the details.

Just wanted to offer my sincere thanks to all of you who attended my maintenance day. It was great to see all our old friends and meet some new ones as well. This is something that Eileen and I truly enjoy doing and once again, we enjoyed it immensely. It would have been perfect had it been about 10 degrees cooler. I told you that I would not let it rain but I just can't seem to get the temperature thing down. When the last had left and Eileen and I were sitting on the front porch having a cup of coffee, we both had the feeling that it was WAY to quiet. It's almost like an "empty next" syndrome. She looked at me and said "maybe we should do this twice a year". I was quiet surprised by that remark and don't know that it would be a good idea but I was surprised that she said it. I think though that having it once per year makes it a bit more special. If we ever DO decide to do it twice per year, I'm thinking that the fall one would just be for socializing and NOT for maintenance. A lot of work got done and if I try to name all that helped with the many projects then I will surely miss some people. V7Goose is always MAJOR help though as well as Squidley, SkyDoc, Monty and so many others. This just couldn't happen without the help of so many of you. If somebody was there to lend a hand for you and you want to thank them publicly here, please do so. Again, a big thanks to each and every one of you who made the trip. You folks really touch our hearts and you probably have no idea what a huge part that VentureRider plays in my life. You are all very special people. Some of you are so special that perhaps a bit of medication would help.

You will need some clamps to connect them to the crash bars. Take a look at his add here and he gives some links to them. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2692&title=carbon-one-crash-bar-braces&cat=24

Fantastic. It turned out great and I'm sure it runs as good as it looks.
-
I'm going to smack you the next time I see you. You were supposed to call if you missed your flight so that we could come back and take you to lunch or something. You stubborn thing you.
-
Cool idea. I know there were many others. Florida and Washington were represented as well as several others.
-
I really enjoyed the video...very well done. Thank you for taking the time. It sure is quiet here right now...WOW...what a difference when everybody is gone. We were actually sitting on the front porch a little while ago and Eileen said "maybe we should do this twice a year"................hmmmmmmmmm "Freebird's Fall No-Maintenance Day". Just fun and visiting...no tools allowed..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I've found two pairs of eye glasses left on the little table beside the coffee maker in the garage. One pair of blue sunglasses. One pair of silver framed glasses that appear to be prescription. If they are yours, PM me your address and I'll get them in the mail.

Sorry Mr. Bob, you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to beat me to the chrome goodies.
