  1. :happy65: Hey hey. Welcome back!! Sounds like things might be looking up for you. Thoughts and prayers are still with you. Gdspeed. If you need anything else - don't hesitate to let us know!!! :thumbsup2:
  2. FLB_78 had, at some point, his 99 for sale for a reasonable price. He's got a few miles on it but last I saw it the bike ran fine and was in decent condition for the miles. He is not far north of you in Kentucky now. For the right price, I'll deliver my 01 to you
  3. It sounds to me like someone splattered brake fluid on your parts... But I'd need closely examine pictures to actually verify that suspicion. Regardless - I'm glad you got it taken care of!
  4. You don't really give us a whole lot of information here to help you out. All I can do is sort of answer your question. The highway/passing/auxillary lamps are not covered under the 5 year unlimited mileage deal; HOWEVER, if they are the OEM lamps purchased and installed via an official Yamaha dealer they DO have a warranty (parts, labor, etc). Check you paperwork and see. Or, you could give us a little more info to go on and we can probably help
  5. Are you kidding? I had one gal convinced it was a special cologne
  6. Considering the source, need I actually comment on this??? :stickpoke::witch_brew:
  7. Yikes. Something else I just thought of is that we have a handful of members here that have recently triked their bikes. They don't need their side-stand anymore. You may want to try contacting a few of them to see if they still have theirs
  8. Welcome!!!!! :BLUE: And +1 to what the heck happened to your side stand?!?
  9. Of the ladies that have ridden with me, they seem to prefer braids.
  10. Good info here. Thanks!! I've been watching for them to go on sale and haven't seen it happen yet - you beat me to it
  11. http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/forum/smileyvault-popcorn.gif Mobil 1 for me.
  12. Not me BUT, then again, I still haven't forked over the money for one of those fancy pants analog to digital converter boxes either... I am a big fan of watching the cosmic microwave background radiation It is better than anything else on the tube anyways.
  13. If you are going to do it yourself, somewhere on here are the dimensions for the Carbon_One adapter GOOD LUCK!
  14. LoL *insert witty remark about 'ol reliable*. These pictures were taken the night I got the lift adapter (or jack) I don't remember which. But either way, you are sort of correct... As of these shots, this is the first time my bike was lifted by me. What they look like now...well, that is a completely different story! Arg. Time for bed.
  15. Since the wheel needs to come off for this operation, no. I have had my rear wheel off a few times, but it was just as easy put the legs on, jack the bike up enough for the wheel to be removed from under the fender, then lower back down onto the legs for stow-age.
  16. +1 to the more info. Type, brand, a picture? Or you may consider an ad in the classifieds section
  17. Here are some pictures of mine in action...
  18. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2673&title=carbon-one-freestanding-lift-adapter&cat=7 This is the way to go. Larry (Carbon_One) makes these himself, and they are very high quality. My only regret about mine is that I didn't buy one sooner. He also makes a model without the legs for a little bit less, but for changing the oil I have found that it is much easier to be able to remove the jack. Not to mention it is much more stable on four legs than it is on the jack. Do it.
  19. I too found that mine wear evenly. I actually will periodically pull mine off and measure them for differences (using a vernier caliper) - just out of curiosity. Any difference for mine has always been within the error of my measurements.
  20. Howdy to a fellow 'Lubbock-ite'. I'm on an RSV (2nd gen venture) so I can't really be much help in the suggestions or opinions about 1st gens or the RSTD department - but I've put qutie a few miles on my RSV and am quite happy with it. Family power sports (near Sam's club) has (well at least had - as of say a week or two ago) I think 2 RSTDs [pre-owned] in stock. Both were in fantastic condition with very low miles. Unfortunately [easy fellas] they were both black. Anyhoot - I've been quite busy recently and not on here quite as much as I usually am but figured I'd post to say hi and give you a bump since I suspect we have some other members that have some input on your questions Keep an eye out of a green on green 01 RSV -- It just might be me
  21. I just stick with broadcast... Although I still need one of those fancy pants analog to digital converter things so I can see something other than snow (well, the cosmic microwave background radiation). But, with that said, I am happy with the channels I get - I figure it is better than anything else on TV as is.
  22. I did when I was shopping around for mine and was not impressed at all. I believe we have (at least one member) that went ahead and ordered one from them but here's what happened when I contacted them. 1) Sent e-mail describing year, make and model of my bike and I asked if they had a shock for our bikes (it was not listed in their parts cataloge, or whatever) 2) Received e-mail back a few days later saying that yes they had one 'in stock' but needed me to remove my shock, send it in to them along with the measurements and specs of the current shock and then they could send me their new one for the 500 + Shipping. 3) I e-mailed to clarify that they had it 'in stock' but needed my old shock, measurements, specs and whatnot BEFORE I received the shock. 4) I received a very short e-mail back saying yes. 5) I returned the e-mail saying thanks but not thanks. I decided for 500 bucks I wasn't about to be a guinea pig. Your mileage may vary as they have had 8 months now... Sorry I can't be of more help.
  23. I, for one, did not realize this. Sorry.
  24. If you have put sea foam in the tank and run it, seafoam contains a stabilizer already. Adding an additional one is not necessary. I don't see why using Sta-bil or whatever, since it is a dedicated stabilizer, would be a problem - but the point here is that you don't have to go buy some other chemical, unless you want to.
