Visit Wheels through Time Museum in Maggie Valley. http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com/ This is a very interesting place. You will be looking at a 1918 motorcycle and the owner will walk up and ask if you want to see it run. And then start it up. He offered us a ride on an old Harley, sidecar setup when we were walking up. If you have time - the Biltmore http://www.biltmore.com is also very interesting.

Check out http://www.ironhorsenc.com - they are a motorcycle lodge with accomodations from camping to multiple bedroom houses. It is the best place I have stayed oriented towards motorcycles. You won't be disappointed. Centrally located to all the rides you mentioned. I was just there in June for a week. They serve breakfast and dinner if you desire to sign up and pay for them which have always been a good value.

I have the original windshield off my 99. It has been laying around the house for 9 years. I didn't like looking through it. You are more than welcome to it. You will probably have to offer my wife a few bucks for it to make worth her while to ship it to you.

Anybody got stock pipes?

Cottonpkr - I have a set off my 99 - they have about 60k miles on them. They are boxed up and ready to go if you want to pay shipping. They are not perfect - they have drug the ground a few times (while on the bike) and they are full of road grime, but what do you want for free. -

Interesting - I have never been run off the parking lot. On my many travels with my buddy with an Ultra Classic, I have visited a lot Harley Dealers. They all have been nice to me. I did have one guy at a shop where my buddy's bike was being repaired ask me what I was riding and I said a Yamaha. He said he was sorry. I replied "I'm not, I'm not at a Yamaha dealer having my bike repaired". He left me alone after that. My buddy had to rebuild his motor before 75k miles. If you find yourself in a Harley dealership, I challenge you to find something(other than a motorcycle) made in the USA.

Head cover gasket
MoRiverRat replied to YamaDuck's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Mine (left rear cylinder) did the same thing this summer. It was the bolts on top of the chrome cover. I tightened them up and no more leak. 5 min job. -
My Corbin seats are leather and I ride in the rain a lot - no problems after 8 years and 60k miles.

Planning a west/central Indiana ride - input needed.

Just north of Terre Haute is Parke County, covered bridge capital. See http://www.coveredbridges.com/. -
Yamaha catalog lists them for $285. But my catalog only shows black. I would check at www.corbin.com - I know you can pick your leather color there. I don't think they had it recovered because of the stitching.

Yes those are arm rests. Here are a few pics with my wife using them thru the tail of the dragon.

But we love IRON HORSES!
