    Really looking forward to seeing the pictures Bill. You have been teasing us for WAY too long...you should be ASHAMED of yourself.

    Well, if you clicked the link that I included, you will see a few of them. I didn't use "touring", just Yamaha, Royal Star Venture, any distance.

    LOL....point them towards the rear and it would be like having rocket boosters.

    I don't know why you are into the fairing and etc. but if you are to the point that you have access to the speedo cable, it would be a good time to go ahead and lube it.

    By the way, it was Eusa1 that posted about opening the crate on a new one. Here is his post. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56808&highlight=2011

    Yea, I had seen it before and it is funny but I had also read that it wasn't true. Of course, I have also read that Snopes isn't always true either.

    I do think the only difference between the 660 and the 665 is the XM. I am one that upgraded from the Zumo 550 to the 665. I really do like the XM so did not consider the 600. Was the upgrade worth it? To me, it was not. I think that If I didn't have a GPS at all and was considering a first purchase, I would recommend the 665. It has a few features that I do like as opposed to the 550. Lane change guidance is nice, it holds more MP3 songs, it has the wider screen. A couple of things that I DON'T like as opposed to the 550. Volume output on the 665 seems to be lower. The placements of the XM antenna is more critical. If you place it right next to the GPS, it will not work. I had an integrated mount where the XM puck mounted on the same bracket as the GPS and that worked great for the 550 but the 665 did not work at all that way. I had to move the antenna to the other side of the bike. One other thing is the the 550 remembered that I had the XM on when I stopped and turned everything off. The radio would come back on when I started up again. The 665 doesn't do that. You have to turn the music back on every time after you have turned it off. So if I had it to do over again, I would just keep my 550. If I were starting from scratch, I would still go with the 665 I think.

    Try this one. I think it's the one he is talking about. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1989-VENTURE-XVZ13D-1300-ROYALE-TRUNK-ACCENT-BAR-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem27b95c9d31QQitemZ170613579057QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    It the old problem where he was logged into his account when he copied and pasted the link. You can't be logged into your account when you do it.

    I don't know if I invented the stoppie or the slammy. and YES....the pond would have been MUCH easier on the head and ribs.
  14. Freebird
    Yes..but she has a MUCH harder time lifting the RSV....I know that for a fact.
  15. Freebird
    Just go to the forum that you want to post in...for example...watering hole...first gen tech talk....etc. Click on that forum and at the upper left, just about the list of existing discussions will be a blue button that says "New Thread". Don

    LOL....I think I still see stars from that one. I can tell you though, that bike is a LOT easier to get out from under you that a RSV is...but that was another story.
  17. Freebird
    Very nice indeed. Looks to be in EXCELLENT condition. I would guess that one is worth a few dollars.
  18. Freebird
    The RSV does indeed have carb heaters. There are a few threads here somewhere that talk about people unhooking them and/or installing cut-off switches in order to save power for heated vests and etc. Mine are still connected.

    WOW...what a turn THIS one has taken. Bras, BBQ...hmmmmmmmmmm.....BBQ .... that sounds pretty good.
  20. Freebird
    Those look very good. I don't know how much interest there is but nice job.

    I would like to have a nice tube amp but really don't need one. I truly AM a beginner in every since of the word so just don't need to spend a lot of money on an amp. I have a Fender Mustang II modeling amp that sounds amazingly well for a solid state. It is really all I need at this time.

    I think I still have the button that Cindy made for the International.

    I can say for sure that there was no butterflies harmed in the making of this story.
