Handle it Politically- I'm sure this Mayor is just trying to be some big shot (like in Rambo), and he knows that about 80% of all motorcycles have been modified with louder pipes. I'm sure he believes, that motorcyclist in general are all a bunch of broke loosers or trouble makers, and this new Bi-Law will keep us out. All Motorcycle group Presidents should write this Mayor a letter expressing the dissatisfaction they have on his new Bi-law, and how many Millions of Dollars we as Motorcyclist bring into communitys like his, especially during a bike week. If that don't work, get a article on Front Page of Local newspaper (or CNN if needed) stating how this Mayor does not approve of the Millions of Dollars that Motorcycle Revenue brings in. And how this adverse effect in Loss of Revenue, will cause the Community Residents to Pay a Increase in Tax Dollars, due to the Mayors decisions he has souly made for the Local Residents and Businesses of Myrtle Beach. I am sure that will go over well with all the residents and businesses. Let see how popular he will be. Just a thought, Later-

Hey Guys, the RSV should not bottom out at 400 lb, even with a bad shock!!! I have a bad shock on mine, and it was rode with way over 400 lbs. There is probably something broke on this bike, if so it is not the safeist to ride. Jam that rear tire hard enough into the fender, going fast or a corning, it will cause the rear end to slide out. Get it to someone who knows what there doing. Sounds like the dealers around you have no common sense or do not have properly trained mechanics. Sorry to be so rude, just really don't want to see someone get hurt because of this problem. Later-

Feel your pain Brother. Michigan has a horrible economy. Mom & Pop business closing up everywhere. I'm out work, sorta, and if things don't turn around for me by end of month mine will be for sale also. Hate to see mine go, just getting broke in with 40k on her. Later-

Guess this means wife and I are not going to her brothers in Myrtle Beach. With my Fishtails, it is loud, and I like it. Yea, we need about 10,000 bikes down there, that would stir up the Mayor. Later-

07 with 50,000 miles is at least twice as normal, but still alot of Factory Warranty. That bike is barly broke in. If it was me, after I test rode it and if you like it, BUY IT. Just remember it shifts different than the V-twin, Let her wind out or she will buck you. Good Luck

Good Comparison. Last Aug our West Trip was with friends Dave & Maria that have a Ultra Classic. Dave 5'9" 260, Maria 5'6'' 160 both big bone. I'm 6' 210, Charlene 5'3" 140. We switched bikes for a bit. I felt the Harley diffently had more responce of power at take off, and lower speeds. It also handled a little better. At higher speeds the RSV. I like the look of the RSV fairing, but the Ultra blocks the wind better. Charlene and I are so used to the length of RSV, to us, it is much more comfortable, especially for her. I did not really care for the constant vibration from motor thru my hands, it was a numming feeling after awhile. I like the guages on the Ultra, but I also like the dash on the RSV, even trade. The Ultra had a spot for a round flat disc that plays music, never herd of such a thing, must be new. To me when you buy a bike it should Fit You, not everyone around you. To me, I like the RSV, but the Harley is a close second.

Smaller Front tire Observations.
Red Ryder replied to SaltyDawg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hey Wayne, few years ago I switched to the Avon's 130 front, recommended by Squidley (Thanks Brad). Very Glad I did, made a big difference to me on how it handles, but like you I did notice a bit more movement on highway. Figured, that was okay to live with, and a good trade for handling. Last August, fully Loaded, two up, a storm came over our sholders and we was hit with 67 mpr winds and 6"rain in 10 min on the highway in Vegas, the Avons never gave me trouble. Yes, we was finally able to seek cover, very scary, but no problems with the smaller front tire. Good Luck, Later- -

Brian, No Idea, but please let me know what you find out. I also have the "Pretty One" and was thinking about a Pro One in the future. Later-

Shep, glad to see you two are okay, and our thoughts and prayers are with you both for a speedy recovery. 19 years ago on New Years I was a bad wreck in a cage hitting the cement divider wall on the highway and flipping end for end several times. They found me 8 hours later with a whole lot of broken bones, so from experience take your time healing and don't try to do to much. Good Luck and get back on and ride. Later-

I hear you Brad. That wind did a lot of damage around here with trees and power lines. We lost power at 2:00 am and did not get it back until 11:30 pm. Some still don't have power. Later- P.S. In Red Ryder's album I put around 30 of the 1500+ pictures from our vacation this year.
