    Here's my dont waste your time and money rebuilding the slave cylinder. It's pot metal at best and if there is any pitting or scoring inside the cylinder bore, your going to waste a rebuild kit. I replaced my slave on my '86 with a new one for about $70, brand new, didn't have to worry about it leaking. If your thinking about keeping this bike for any period of time, do yourself a favor and put a new one in.

    The ones I just looked at on the web were between $300 and $400, it's getting late in the season so if it could be got for less than $300 that would be a good deal. Otherwise I would go with a HF as you can get them new on sale for right at the $300....$0.02

    Thank you

    By the looks of the pics and the testaments I have heard, it seems the rally was a great success. Congrats to all the NY crew that helped put this together

    I'm not going to comment on where it should be, as far south as we are it will be a LONG ride for us. What I want to say is to those who think they want to do this, make sure you can handle the headaches that are involved with it. I hosted the '07 in Colorado, and you have to be able to think on your feet and be flexible. No matter how much planning you do, there will always be something come up. Get a trusted group of folks that you know personally, in order for it to go off as planned everyone that has a part in it will need to pull their weight. While planning it, you can't talk enough about it, keep good communication with it. Every IR I have been able to attend has been awesome, the planners worked very hard and really threw a great event. Doing one has every potential for disrupting your life, I just want whomever decides to pick up the ball to know what they are in for. Fortunately there are a few of us that have had the headaches for you, and we can help guide you around some of the pitfalls

    Paul, I notice you have a '99 RSTD, so I'm assuming your calling that bike a 1st gen. Regardless if thats the bike your talking about, or the 1st gen Venture, your not going to find or be able to build a wider rim that will work. It's VERY tight along the swing arm with a stock tire on, little own a wider setup. It will rub the shaft tube, I have seen only 1 RSV that had a slightly wider tire fit on the rear and not rub the driveshaft, and I believe that was a fluke.

    This is normal, especially in Georgia. There are lower air wings that can be installed on the lower crash bars that you can open and catch air and blow that cool 95 degree air past your feet sitting next to the 200 degree air....yeah that meant to be sarcastic. Here's a set on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Tinted-Lower-Wind-Vents-for-Fits-99-11-Royal-Star-Venture-/330768510673?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d0356eed1&vxp=mtr

    Cb, To be quite honest with you, 8500 miles is zero miles. If you have gone through and changed the fluids (Brake, Clutch) on a regular basis, and kept your fuel in good condition when it wasn't being ridden, the bike really shouldn't need anything....except a LOT more riding

    Thats not a real welcome sign, you can see the contrast difference on the white lettering, but I agree with the others....it's great!

    It will work either way as far as I know, but if I install a switch, I put it on the 12v+ to power the relay....

    Atleast you got it figured out, the stator cover can be a bear to put back on without getting something in the wrong spot....I have done that too

    Nice job George, good out of the box thinking....and a Mopar color, I love it!

    My biggest thing is I want a large separation in brightness between running lights and brake lights. I have seen the LED replacement bulbs and to be quite blunt...they suck. I remember riding behind a couple of folks, one of them Marcarl and had a VERY hard time distinguishing the brake lights when they came on. I know that they make an LED board for the 2nd gens that is a good contrast in brightness. This is what I want one the 1st gen, I thought that someone here did that on a 1st gen....I'll have to look for that thread:scratchchin:

    Man! you is one fart smeller Jeff! I never knew that, but it's good to know. I am actually thinking of doing a 1st gen tail light in this if they are dual intensity, which I think they are but I want to be sure. Thanks for the heads up Buddy
  19. Squidley
    That is awesome! I love it

  21. Squidley
    ....and how long have you been married Gary? I'm quite sure that your wife knows how much you love to ride. I'm kind of doubting she would be mad if you really wanted to put the wind in your face going to NY, but your a good man for offering to do it up like this
  22. Squidley
    Rick, These are set up to be dual intensity if I'm reading this right, is that the case What made you go with the red instead of going with a white?
  23. Squidley
    Have fun buddy, try to keep whats left of your hair on your head

    I was there back in 1990 when I did my Gulf War cruise with Uncle Sams yacht club. Bought my 1st wife a set of Mallorca pearls while I was there. At the time they were the best man made pearls on the planet....have a great time
