    I've only ever talked to ONE person who was riding one. It was a lady that was riding with her husband who was on a wing. She told me that she had a VStar at home but decided to ride the Buell that day and that it was the wrong decision. She said that she really hated it. When I asked her why, she complained about everything from vibration to seating position and pretty much everything else. Like I said though, that was just one opinion.

    You got my vote. Good luck.

    They look like angels when they are sleeping but tiny terrors when awake. I would be interested if I didn't already have my full quota of pets.

    Hey...I started on that project last weekend. Opened the package, read the instructions and everything. Just not enough hours in the day right now to do everything that needs done before Maintenance Day.

    Scam?

    Thanks for noticing. I removed the link.

    Twigg is correct in the grand scheme of things but the fact is, if it is just a small puncture, it will have a very negligible effect if any. It won't reduce back pressure nearly as much as most of the after market mufflers that people install. If it's just a small puncture and the sound doesn't drive you crazy, it wouldn't bother me to ride it many miles.

    About the same as always. The non-supporting members were removed long ago per the request of the majority of the members here. Their profiles are still intact but they are not included in them members list.

    Have you lowered the front by sliding the forks up in the tubes? If so, that would give you much less room.

    Just send me a PM and let me know how much it is per foot. I am out of town but will measure when I get home to see how much I need. I'm thinking probably probably no more than 8 - 10 ft.

    You use a hole saw. Available in most tool departments such as Sears, Home Depot, etc.

    HEY HEY HEY....was THAT really necessary?
  12. Freebird
    Probably, if they have one of the pumps but you absolutely SHOULD have one. It is just one of those things are is almost a necessity if you own an RSV.
  13. Freebird
    That looks like it would probably work. How will it hold up to the weather?

    I have never run zero in the rear whether pulling a trailer or not. I would recommend that you try about 35 lbs. We weigh a bit more than you and pulling a fairly heavily loaded trailer, I run about 40 lbs. You really need a progressive pump if you don't have one.

    Price depends upon the size. Do you remember what size it was?
  16. Freebird
    I'm going to estimate that it would run somewhere between $50 and $75.00. Any sign shop and make them. FastSigns, SignaRama, Next Day Signs or one of the many independent shops. It depends on the size. They are usually priced per sq. ft.

    Take a look at this thread. It shows them well. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13263

    That is almost like miracle. Did you actually PULL the rear caliper where you could really look at the inside pad?
  19. Freebird
    Nope, it's not at my house. The one at my house is a Star Motorcycle banner that has been signed by those who show up at Maintenance Day. I do not have the one that says VentureRiders on it.

    I've run 87 in mine since it was new in 1999. I've tried higher octanes maybe a half dozen times and have NEVER seen any benefit.

    Let's give it a few more days and see if any other suggestions or preferences come in. If we do it, I'll try to get started on the tear down before then maybe. It will be hard because I'm usually slammed getting ready for the big day.

    Rick, It may not be just perfect but it's so close that nobody would likely ever notice. I bought it here: http://www.jbugs.com/category/Basketweave-vinyl.html

    I'm sure they are black walls. I don't think Avon makes whitewall but also, I've never seen whitewalls on Eddies bike I don't think.
  24. Freebird
    Yes, it is a Hopnel bib. I contacted them MONTHS ago asking if I could buy some of the basketweave vinyl and they never even responded. They have actually been bought out by somebody else now though. I finally found some vinyl that is actually upholstery material for the old VW Beetles and it is almost a perfect match.
  25. Freebird
    Yes, she was one of the first that I contacted. She did NOT get uppity though. She did tell me that she could not duplicate basketweave tough. Actually I may contact her again now that I have that material and just see if they can make them if I send it to her.
