I don't need tires yet, but this might interest anyone looking for a tire in the near future. $340 for a set plus rebate ends September 12, 2020. https://wingstuff.com/products/37971-bridgestone-tire-combo-for-2018-gold-wing-g852-g853

I have an '07 RSV and I've only done my coolant change once and that was in 2013. I know I am due for another one soon, so I am planning to do it sometime this Fall. At 60K miles, it is good preventative maintenance. The last time I did my coolant, I used Prestone coolant/anti-freeze.

I am 2 hours SW of Buckingham, Pa.

I have not tried welding anything. As a young boy 4 decades ago, I still vividly remember looking at our electric meter while my dad was working with his friend welding metal parts together. Needless to say, the electric meter spun like a top every time they were welding...it appears to eat a lot of electricity. Anyway, for half the price, it is a good find.

Hello Don. Glad to know that your eye is doing better with medication. Safety glasses will definitely help one way or another. It is much easier to wear for longer periods than goggles, IMO. I wear glasses all the time and every time I use the weed wacker, tiny rocks fly all over the place and I can hear them hit my lens...and I say to myself [Thank God for the lens or it could have really hurt so bad]. When it comes to riding, I am so glad I have the windshield + my full face visor + eyeglasses in front of my eyes.

I think I am not allergic to bees, but getting stung by anything is not fun at all. You did excellent by keeping control of the bike on an incline. It might be a good idea to start using this...https://off.com/en/product for the rest of the summer. Doc1.docx

I visit both sites. I truly prefer here. You get a whole lot more for a Buck a month.

I like it Don! Very nice bike.

There is a little bit of a learning curve every time you hop on a different bike, but with your experience, you should have no problems at all adapting to the Venture. As a consolation, I am 5'5" and I have no problems whatsoever riding my '07. The newer SVTCs is just so easy to ride as well...ride as much as you can, to keep your riding skills up to par.

You are gonna love those Shinko 777's. I have them on my '07 with no complaints. I am over 10K miles on my rear and still have a lot of tread left. Today, rode the RSV to and from work. It is a great feeling to be back on the bike.

Rox Risers may work for you.

...and we all know, LongHaulPaul added 55,000 more miles with no major problems. He was changing oil every 10K miles. As for my SVTC, I am closing in on 4,000 miles - not much yet since I've also been adding miles on my '07 RSV. No problems so far...

Two thumbs up on Custom Dysnamics LED lights. I installed LED lights all around my '07 RSV 13 years ago...LEDs last for a long time...

Knock on wood, so far so good. Almost 4000 miles and will do the next oil change next weekend.

There is one thing I am looking that is on your bike. Love your passenger foot boards.

It could have also been your right leg...am very glad to hear you are ok and still able to ride home. As mentioned before, the insurance company might end up totaling it. I am hoping they will agree to fix it this time.

I still have my '07 and stayed with the OEM size front tire as well. I didn't really want to change its riding characteristics as well as piece of mind. Shinko 777 for her. Time will tell, when Shinko 777 front tire will be available for the Eluder and SVTC. I think the rear is already available for purchase at your favorite motorcycle store.

Glad to hear you and your wife are ok after the collision. Heal well.

I got the chance to change oil and its final drive oil on my '07 the other day. It has been sitting in the garage for 2 months since I've been using the SVTC a lot lately just riding to a from work. It turned out to be a little bit of a learning curve after getting off the SVTC and back to the RSV, but I am so glad to take her out with me to work and she knows that I have not forgotten her.

I have Shinko on my '07 and I am very happy with its performance. My rear has almost 10K miles with a lot of tread left. From what I read about its history, it used to be owned by Yokohama and the business was sold to become the Shinko company today. They focus more on the powersports market especially motorcycle tires. Make in Korea with strict QC and advance Japanese technology in the manufacture of their tires....so I have no problem installing this brand on my SVTC when the time comes.

I have the 5 gallon version of yours. They are really spill proof spouts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No leisure riding for me for the past month and a half. I get to ride to and from work and my wife is perfectly fine with it. Today - rode to work and will do so for the next couple of days. Ride Safe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sorry to hear the bad news. It is the most empty feeling one can imagine. I feel you. I've been laid off from work once in my life and I pray and hopefully it never happens again. This is also a difficult time to find employment since there are not a lot of companies hiring with a restricted economy. Lean to your family and fill them with smiles and talks of good times. Have a real nice dinner at home with your loved ones, etc. We are in this together and I am optimistic the economy will rebound stronger and sooner. Regards.

I hope this is just temporary due to a slow economy. I have a J&S Jack and I think they warranty their jacks for a lifetime, if I am not mistaken. They are truly well built motorcycle jacks. I've had mine for about 12 years now.
