Never wore one till the choice was taken from me by a minivan. Now we wear full face HJC modulars.

Deb and I are going for a weekend ride next week. Where you ask? Where ever the front wheel takes us. Looking for anyone that would like to join us. We live near Joliet, Ill. As of now, we have no plans other than to leave about 9 or 10 am on Sat and be back home sometime Sunday afternoon/evening. Basically, we will ride till we are tired and then try to find a room, then get up and do it again till we get home. Looking for something scenic and slow. No bar hopping or spending hours in a parking lot shooting the breeze. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy jaw jacking from time to time but this ride will be about the ride.

Dulop 404
KDFranzen replied to hunter 1500's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Mine came with the 404's. The bike already had 2500 miles on it when i boought it. I ended up changing both the front and rear with another set of 404s. The mileage was 14255 when I changed them. I too was worried about a change in compound. I guess we'll see. -
That's what my local dealer told me today.

Thanks guys for the input. I too have heard about mixing tires. I'm not wanting to do that. The Venoms have been discontinued according to my local shop. Think I'll probably stick with what has worked so far. Thanks again for your help.

I also do a fair share of two up

Here we go....... Looking at tires for my 07 Venture. Currently have the original tires with 14,255 miles on them. Rear is ready to be replaced. Going to replace the front only because it's 5 years old. Here's my questions..... I have read about someone with a Michelin Commander || on the rear. What would be suggestions for the front? Michelin does not make a front tire for the Venture. I haven't had any problems with the Dunlop 404's which are what's on the bike now. Also, the member that has the Michelin Commander ||, has it on a first gen. As far as the riding I do? Mostly highway and around town. Don't have many twisties around Joliet but would like a set of tires that would be good for that when I get the opportunity. The Venoms were discontinued and I know I have read a lot about people using those. Just not sure if I should stick with what I have, or go to something different. I'm kind of one of those that figures if it's not broke, don't fix it. Anybody's thought or suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for putting up with me babbling. Kevin

I don't know if this has been posted on here yet or not but a new law in Illinois now allows a motorcycle to LEGALLY run a red light if it hasn't changed after waiting for 2 minutes. The law went into effect Jan. 1st 2012. Just a little FYI for people that don't know.

Would you guys mind helping me out in my marketting class?

Thanks everyone for your help. I did get a call last Friday afternoon that the bike was FINALLY done. Having never trailered it, I was a little nervous but got it home without any issues. Again I thank you all for the advice and pics of how you haul yours. And the offer to ride it home for me.
-
I thought about that. Problem is, I live near Joliet and the bike is in Woodstock, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours away.

I know I saw something somewhere on here about trailering a RSV. Damned if I can find it though. After 3-1/2 months, my bike may finally be fixed after I got hit. Still can't ride due to my injuries, so she needs to be trailerd home. I haven't done this before, so I'm not quite sure if I need to do anything special to the bike. Any advice would be helpful. I am planning on using a U-HAUL motorcycle trailer if that helps with the comments. Thanks. Kevin

After I was hit this year, the first insurance adjuster said $5407 for repairs for my 07 RSV. The second adjuster said $8595.88. I asked the dealer what the total number was. He told me it was in the mid 9's. I was a bit surprised to say the least since KBB has it retail for 10,375 in excellent condition. Could this be because I only have 13,000 mikes on it? I figure repairs will be even more due to neither the dealer or adjuster noticed the bent handle bar. They won't know about any frame damage till they get all the fairing and boxes off.
