    Pilot, Those are the clamps that I have been installing for years on the RSV conversion to the H/D pipes. The notch is in there to go over the pipe and the sholder is for going over the header pipe on the bike. I have never had any serious issues with installing them and I would say that I have installed at least half a dozen on various RSV's. Now granted when you install H/D mufflers on the RSV everything has to be clean and corrosion free. I usually take emory cloth and clean the header up and the antiseize idea is also a good one.

    We can accomodate that Gary, glad to hear that you folks were able to spend some more time together after the rally. I sure wish that we would have had a few more days to stay and visit.

    Hey Folks, It seems that I am the butt (yeah go ahead and laugh) of an unusual prank. I went to change my info in my user CP to reflect my new bike in it and lo and behold, a gremlin popped up. It seems that when I went to do the change, I became a Super Moderator. Now I dont know how to react to this, I have no special powers, nor a whole lot of smarts. But I will say that being given this prestediguous title I will work very hard to be what I have been labeled. Please trust that I will and forever shall be just a humble plain old moderator....but if you feel you must pay me for this PM me and I'll send you my paypal info

    Dont bank on that Gerry, I know that I'm not and I'm further behind you in collecting it. Sad state of affairs in this country these days, I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel anymore

    Congrats on the new arrival! I know that my grandsons were a lot of fun when they were little, I liked them when they were 1st born. Enjoy the heck out of him and take as much time as you can with 'em....time goes by so fast.

    I agree with Lutz 100%, change out the fork oil and if you can afford to do it replace the front spring with the progressives, I have done several bikes like that and it's amazing the performance you'll gain.

    I would 1st check the output shaft on the motor as some of them have had issues of the shaft breaking off at the u-joint. Heres a thread on it from CdnLouie http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14029

    Don pretty much nailed it all on your questions, I'll second the splitter AUX cable for running MP3 players or GPS systems as it will come through the sterio. I find that 2 up with my wife and I works well at just about 40 psi, if were packed up heavy in the bags I'll go to about 45 psi and if were pulling atrailer loaded I'll go 50 psi or above. Experiment with what works best for your sizes, together the wife and I are about 410 lbs me being closer to 300 lbs. I run my tires at just about max pressure, and be sure if you are leaving on a trip and are loaded up to run the tire at max pressure so you'll have the full load capability of it. Just remember to keep asking questions if you have them. There are no dumb questions here

    Glad to see that they made it up to your neck of the woods there fishman We'll work on it this year at some point.

    Thanks for the comments folks, it is a bit naked and I will be working on that in the coming weeks and months. I do love it, when I went to Toledo to pick it up, it was just like an old comfortable shoe, like I never was without one. George, perhaps your right buddy, I was really liking it down a Maintenance day and I had missed a couple of the '02's that I was looking for and said to heck with it and pulled the trigger. More than I wanted to spend at this time, but the '86 wasn't where I wanted it to be as far as reliability and its time to ride....not fix. Gary......your never going to give up on the dream of getting those front forks are you I'll put pics up as I Chromitize it and ride the crap out of it.....more to come

    Squidley replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    Really it was my trailer Darrell....but I wont hold it against you I was really happy to see you get it, as I would have been for anyone. It was nice to see you walk up and grab the certificate, and I believe Dawn Marie was pretty happy too after that smooch you got when you returned to the table Good on you my frirnd and may you put many miles on that new trailer of yours....that should have been mine

    Mick, I got back from Canada last night and am still in the process of catching up. I'll get with you this weekend and we'll get it all sorted out
  20. Squidley
    Thank Buddy...it might take me a few days to get some pics up

    It's over....

    Squidley replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    We'll try to get some pics up this weekend, what a fantastic time! For those of you who couldn't make or just decided not to go....you missed a great rally. We laughed so hard at times it hurt Reiney...hats off my friend, you and the whole Ontario group that planned this did a fantastic job. Lonna and I had so much fun, fortunately were only 3 hours away and will be back for more. Thank you all again for putting on such a well organized rally.....you folks are the best
  22. Squidley
    Good on her....and she looked stylish doin' it
  23. Squidley
    We heard of your plight here in Canada at the rally and very happy to hear that it turned out well. Kudos to the dealer that helped you out, we'll have to let him know that 5000+ other people heard about what he did. Places like that are hard to find, glad it turned out good for you
  24. Squidley
    Sweet! He made good time as I talked with him 2 nights ago
  25. Squidley
    I hate to say my friend, but she doesn't need this site to bring up an old wound. Womens will remember that stuff long after we have buried it
