    Oh man..... My wife is never gonna let me live this one down. You called it correctly........ IT WAS THE KEYS! On one hand, I am extremely thankful for this forum... On the other hand, I hate feeling this stupid (but it sure does put a big smile on my face when thinking about it). THANK YOU for the insights. Robert

    This bike doesn't have a center stand... I'm getting set to take it back out and narow down the noise. So help me, if it turns out to be the keys........... Well, I don't even dare think about how I'll feel. :>)

    Everything seems to be running fine on my 97 RSTD, however I recently installed a windshield, which allows me to hear the engine noise much better. When I reach 3rd gear, I hear an "intermitant tapping" sound. It doesn't occur in any other gear and is not a bang or a grind, but can be best described as if I had hung a very small pebble by a long string and let it bounce underneath, occasionally tapping against the bike. It is a very mild sound, and sometimes can even be heard if I pull the clutch in at that gear.... I am wondering what it could be? Any thoughts

    A ride isn't anything, without a sunset to drive into.

    Thanks Randy, I ordered the windshield and it should decrease the amount of protien ingested during highway rides (aka bugs). Your insight helped. Robert

    So, here is a request that may seem a bit odd. I am an artist (sculptor by trade) and have recently started experimenting with subtle accents and designs on motorcycle parts, but require some ext. parts to work with. Does anyone have any old fenders, tanks, etc, laying around that I can use for experimentation? The bike these will fit onto is my 97' RSTD. I am still experimenting with lines and contours that compliment the bike and not detract from it, so these parts are basically used as rough canvases for me. I'll pay for the shipping. Damaged or scratched is okay. So, if you, or anyone you know has some they are planning to discard, please contact me and let me see if I can breathe some life into them. Think of me more as Frankenstein in need of discarded bodyparts. Thank you and I look forward to any assistance you may give. Robert

    I found a 2003 yamaha roadstar windshield in the local want ads, but would have to drive about 110 miles to pick it up, so I thought I would ask everyone in here first. Does anyone know if it will fit my 97 Royal Star Tour Deluxe? I have the four mounting bolts and lowers. WIll these holes line up properly? I also need a backrest, so if anyone knows where to get an inexpensive version, please let me know. Thanks for any assistance and insights. Robert
