No problem at all. I've gotten so much help from this forum and members, helping a member/fellow rider is a natural way to pay back!. I assume you got the strip back and it works?
-
Im guessing there's no way your going to back that rig up with the Goldwings reverse system so I assume they never put themselves in a position to need to do so!

I use my Blackberry's Password keeper and refer to it often, more often as Im getting older !

Yes, I can guarantee you that I burn way more coal than anyone here...lol
Actually, I work in a coal-fired power plant, and we burn many tons of coal a day.
Thats a good one:) thx

Very nice looking bike from the pics but "We are giving up riding"? Flat out statement like that has me wondering why? Just seems like a bummer and I hope I never have to say the same!

eagleeye:
The forum is http://nepacrossroads.com/ (Hope that was ok to post)
The DVC500 I have is specialize in that it will only burn coal and only one size, Rice because it feeds itself from a large hopper. There's a TLC2000 from Harman that looks identical fro the front, burns wood or normal size coal as it's a manual stove for those with more time and patience.

I get away with 3 tons for my house, under a grand in coal but I still heat hot water (for showers, etc) through my oil burner but Im down to one tank of oil or the winter instead of four. I've been researcing a hot water coil for my coal stove to get me off of oil someday!
Anyone else?
-
Im curious if any riders are also coal burners? I'm going on season two with a coal fired stove that heats my house. On the Anthracite Coal forum I belong to there's enough rider members that I think there's some sort of coal-riding connection
Just wondering....here's my stoker stove on first burn last year!

I cannot really tell from the picture if the offsets that "ablumny" has are the same as what I have or not. If memory serves me correctly you can get a 2" or 4" offset extension from Kuryakyn or the 'longhorn offset' that is 3.25".
Nope I dont have the LongHorns. The extensions on mine are shorter.
-
Im 5' 10". I put a set of Kuryakyn Dually pegs (I think thats the name) with offset mounts. With these mounts I'm able to fine tune the position of pegs nicely. I have three comfortable position now:
1. Heel on floorboard, toe on peg
2. Foot totally on peg
3. Hanging over peg, fully stretched
I dont have close ups but here's a couple of photo's that may help.
Whole bunch on eBay. Search for kuryakyn dually

Cant comment on your clunk problem and I dont mean to change the subject BUT:
Ive been looking to take a Mt. Washington trip from Long Island. Any tips other than stay off the ferocious roads
? Can you share your route or maps without too much difficulty? (trying not to be a pain!)Thanks. Good luck with identifying the problem..

WOW that is a beautiful color. What is the official color and from what company?

I hope you are not paying too much for someone to cut it for you. Did mine with some thin painters tape (to mark the cut) and a jig saw with a fine bit. Make sure you put painters tape on the bottom of the jigsaw where it will rub on the w/s so you don't scratch it. then just 3 levels on sand paper (corse to fine) on a jitterbug sander and viola, a cut down windshield. You will have to cut from the top down. Can't cut the bottom where the mounting holes are. We cut mine just to where I am looking over the top of the w/s. No buffeting at all. Good luck!
I cut all my shields down at one time and did my RSV shield the day I got it. Very easy. Smely's instructions above are right however I got a roll of wide painters tape and covered the whole shield, both sides to be sure I had no issues while working in it. To match the factory profile of the shield, I layed heavy paper on the protected shield, traced the top, cut that out and simply lowered the paper to the height I wanted and retraced onto my painters tape. Also, after the three levels of sanding, finish the edge off with a rag wrapped around a finger, VERY lightly dipped in M.E.K. (Metyl Ethyl Ketone) solution which you can get at any home depot/lowes. Wipe it along the edge and you will have a factory looking edge. (do not let it drip on the shield surface as it's very lightly melting the plastic, eliminating the remaining sanding marks etc.)

On my 05 RSV I had the most annoying squeak back there. Tightened every bolt I could find, still the squeak persisted. I wound up taking the trunk off completely, cracking and re tightening all visible bolts under the trunk, in the side trunks and when I put it all back together, the squeak was gone. I have no idea what fixed it but its gone!
Good luck
-
just the three of us eh?

I did the same, cut down stock shield so I can see over it but now the wind buffeting is awful. Ive been reading about the Clearview Shields and others but still no decision.

I just finished replacing my old cassette player on my 2007 RSV with the Pyrimid Graphic Equalizer and I must say I couldn't have done it without the great instructions on this forum. It looks good and works good too. It took me about 14 hours from start to finish. Of course I got side tracked a lot as usual when trying to find tools and things that I haven't used in years but it got done. I will say there is one thing not mentioned in the article. I had to grind off 2 small ears on each side of the equalizer (about 1/8") so it would fit into the face plate, but other than the instructions were great. I made a few substitutions by using electrical tape to wrap the outer case instead of shipping tape and I used a electric coping saw to cut out the face plate. It is a great idea though and it is something that I am actually using.
Thanks

Wish I would have known. I live in Riverhead. Im seeing quite a few new member from the area and I would be nice to GTG for breakfast and a nice ride.

FuzzyRSTD; no prob. Happy to provide a different perspective!

Was thinking the same.
Holtsville, exit 61 !

Would have loved to take that trip with ya. I'm only 40 min away. I'll put that trip on my To-do list.
I can send you the map file if you have a way to use it. It's a .GDB Garmin MapSource format now but it may be convertible.

I know you said it's just money BUT I dont have much
so I went with a refurbed Garmin 2720 off of eBay. $110, rugged, waterproof, readable outdoors, glove friendly and works great. No internal battery but bullet proof. Custom waypoints, records trips, exports and imports maps. Nice unit for the money. My 2cents....http://lh6.ggpht.com/_9EMyKcng_yA/SnT6WJe92gI/AAAAAAAAC1E/0gElucl7rIY/s800/P8010619.JPGhttp://lh6.ggpht.com/_9EMyKcng_yA/SgcFULDy9SI/AAAAAAAAB8I/mrvrkKRSGRk/s640/P5100249.JPG
