    I have 105,xxx on an 02 Venture, that I have switched to a Clearview. I have no damage on the original screen and the Clearview mounted perfectly.

    I wish one of you would buy one and give an honest opinion.

    I use DOT 4 for my 02 RSMV.

    I was at Chimney Rock on Sunday. Had some ice cream and proceede north on 74A to the parkway and east to 80 south. Great day to ride. It was 49 on Mt. Mitchell.

    Remove all the stock crap and install a relay. You will forever thank me.

    I have never wasted the time at a light that does not give me a signal to go. After one cycle of the light I go no matter what. Did this in front of a city police cruiser and nothing happened. I will go to court to fight the charge if I ever get a ticket. The court system does not like to argue with persons in the right.

    I AM REALLY, REALLY HAPPY WITH MY 02 RSMV. With over 112,000 miles it runs perfect and is cool on the body. My wife told me I could buy a new bike if I wanted...I said "what for I have the best bike I have ever owned"...in fifty years of riding.

    First remove the screw. If it does not leak air, you are OK. If it dumps all the air from the tire, you are screwed. If it leaks slowly, buy a repair plug kit and plug it. Oh by the way, do this with the weight off the tire so it doesn't break the bead.

    Funny that I saw this post since I was on the Parkway from 74 A to 80 south and it was a beautiful day (Mt Mitchell was 49 degrees). I also noticed many BMW's. I also saw a "solo" seat R50 in white color. I had a black R 50 so many years ago.

    I have ridden one and they do well on torque power but no top end. Air cooled means hotter conditions especially with all their fairing and such. My biggest turn off was the diminutive saddle bags and trunk. And they look to futuristic for me. I will ride my 02 RSMV until somebody makes a better motorcycle. I have 112,000 miles and I am still grinning from it all.

    If I do this mod will my garage open, even though I don't have the opener on the door? That would be cooooooolllllll.

    He was one of the key reasons the U S never allowed the military to complete the mission in SE Asia. All politics to keep Walter from talking about it on the TV. I do not mourn his passing.

    I have a Wheel Dock and it keeps my bike verticle whenever in the garage (easy to lift that way). It transfers to my trailer if I need to transport the bike.

    Many years ago I was a deputy in Nebraska, I don't care to carry four pounds around on my body, anymoere. I carry a Walther PPK all the time. This .380 will stop most. In my vehicles I keep a .44 revolver, a .357 revolver, and a .45 pistol. I prefer revolvers since they never jam, but a well cared for pistol will work when needed.

    I have had my XXL w/vent for three weeks. This is a situation where you need to be patient. It will take at least six weeks for an order to arrive and it may take longer. The product is above anything else. Have patience, they offer an outstanding product!

    I am with everyone else, take care of what is going on and the going on by the membership will take care of itself.

    I received my Carbon One adapter w/legs ysterday. Today I installed the upper unit (fit perfectly), lifted the bike on my Sears ATV/MC lift and performed the Freebird recipe for tightening up the steering bearings. I now have tighter steering and all is well with the world.

    I had the same problem and really enjoyed other riders pointing it out to me. Everything worked just fine so I left them as a conversation piece. When the trunk needed replacing under warranty the dealer switched the antenna. There went my individuality.

    I appreciate the replies. I am going to talk with Race Tech tomorrow. The springs were not replaced at 49K but the Gold Emulator valves were installed. I may (after talking with RT) buy their h-d springs and rebuild the forks. It is just uncomfortable to ride and needs attention. Thanks again. Another reason for $12 well spent.

    My 02 RSMV with 112k needs the forks rebuilt again. I had this done over three years ago with the additions of Baron's gold emulators. It is now just like before, very rough on the road, rattling from hitting bumps and just plain annoying. When it was done before it was so solid for some time. Some suggestions would be appreciated. Could I drain and re-oil or do I need seals etc. There is no sign of leaking.

    Not that this applies, but we had a young male killed on I-85 Friday. He was doing + 100mph when he decided to impress his buddies and pop a wheelie. He lost it and hit a light pole and the motorcycle stopped 450ft further.

    First of all, how do you use it where a cannister filter is used? Second, how would you clean it properly? Other than that I have no issues with it if it works.

    You didn't ask the right people!!! I have run WWW since the first set of replacement tires in 03. I will say that then, nobody wanted Dunlop 404's since they had a problem with the white yellowing. That is why I went with the Metzler/Bridgestone combo.
  24. Sylvester
    It is worthless now! They are on sale everywhere. Yamaha saw the writing on the wall and to get rid of inventory they installed it on all 09 Ventures and added $750 to the price of the bike. Win-win, they get rid of inventory and you pay retail for the accessory.

    I run the Dunlop 404 WWW and am pleased overall with the performance. I used to run Metzler 880 WWW front (they did not make a rear WWW then) with a Bridgestone WWW rear, but I hate the Bridgestone in rain and the Metzlers started to give me problems after the third one (belts breaking internally). The Dunlop won't give you the high miles, but at the price they handle very well and probable $ for $ are a great deal.
