    I have hit 110 + on the speedo with two up passing harleys! think that gets their attention:whistling:

    I don't know if I'm out of line by offering these or not, but I am a cellular phone dealer and have come across a great set of quality headphones. They have great sound, braided cables, several different earpieces to fit any ear(and keep the wind out), mic for cellphone usage, 3.5 mm jack to fit most cells and Ipods. If anyone would like a set I can offer them to our group for 49.99. I'm not set up for paypal -would have to be money order or cks. If interested you can email at vtludwig@ctcweb.net

    yeah, I took a 900 mile trip last weekend and I figured out how to get over 60 mpg. All you have to do is ride down hill!

    I logged over 20,000 miles on my k1200lt before I sold the bike and bought my current RSV. I had absolutely no problems with the BMW. I installed footboards on the bike after my first long ride and that made a huge difference. Bike is heavy, but the second it starts rolling you would never know it. It would make my back hurt after riding several hours( I never did purchase a driver backrest) so I would put a large backpack loaded behind me for support. Accessories are more expensive and dealers are few and far between, but like I said never really had the need for one. I sold mine and bought the RSV because I could work on the RSV myself and liked the more traditional look better. Good luck with your decision, sure you'll love it if you get it.

    I think its pretty much been said above, but I'll throw my two cents in. They are all great bike with issues of their own. I now have a 07 RSV, but have owned both Harley and BMW. Have a friend that rides a wing. The longer that I ride my RSV the better I like it. Fits me better and I love the look, ride and sound. Ride what you like and don't worry about what others say. Opinions are like *******s-everyone has one and most of them stink!

    if you kept the tall wind shield they are simple to cut down. there is a thread on this site showing how its done. I cut mine down this morning, only took a half hour from start to finish.

    Clutch basket ?

    why don't you let the dealership replace it for you, The bike should still under warranty. My dealer has ordered in several baskets to try in my bike. I'll be taking it in next week, we'll see which ones works in my 07

    had a k1200lt sold it for the classic look of the rsv, so would have to stay with a hd ultra

    I bought a set of high quality earphones for my ipod, let her whine! I know that some feel its not safe to ride with earphones, but I feel I can still hear well enough and it eliminates the annoying whine!

    Just wanted to say thanks for the tip on the Barons bar extensions, installed mine this weekend( simple if you loosen brake control) and took my first ride with them on. Wow, total comfort! Bike fits me perfect now.

    thanks for the pictures.

    the end weight unscrews from the bar but there is a threaded piece in the bar the the weight screws to. it appears to be glued in, not sure its factory but the weights look just like the pictures on the net of 07s. I assumed because of the picture it was. sounds like they may not be factory. I contacted heat demons but have yet to hear from them.
  14. earwig
    Good morning everyone! Has anyone installed heat demons on their bike? When I went to install them the factory handlebar weights are in the way. Just checking to see what options I have before drastic measures:think:

    thanks for all the input. I went for a 160 mile ride today, longest since I've owned the bike. I can run in 5th at 60, just maintaining my speed still get a lot of vibration, doesn't smooth out till 65. My BMW was a 4 cylinder as well so have a pretty good idea for that feel. I'm taking the carb suggestion, see if that helps.
