I am starting to think about replacing my fork springs, I have read almost every thread on the VR forums pertaining to fork springs and have not seen any discussion comparing the two different spring types and why I would choose one over the other. What are the handling characteristic's of the 2 ? Does riding style matter or is it just the weight of the bike, rider and gear ? I'm about 170# with 30" inseam if it matters. When I do the springs I'm also going to move the forks up 3/4-1" in the triple tree. Ever since I bought this bike it has never felt sure-footed in the twisties, it's always felt like the front end wants to slide out. Changing pressures in the forks, tires & rear shock have made little difference in handling. I installed a new shock today, springs are next.

Someone snatched it up, hope it was someone here

Let's hope there's many more years in ya Don, BUT, just in case, you could will it to one of your trusted moderators so your legacy would live on.

Maybe I spoke too soon, Whats the difference between these and the stock DPR8EA-9 ?

With the flanders bars you need 2" over stock length. You could loop them inside the fairing within reason. Try it, if it works without the throttle sticking at full turn both ways, you're good to go.

I just came across a set of EBC FA123HH pads for 16.60 There were 2 sets, I bought 1 set the other is still up for grabs. These are new open package special. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251161780947?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Good Luck

Like Hannigan, CSC started life building side cars and expanded into trailers and trikes also. They have some nice looking designs. I have never rode a CSC, but, would like to some day, as a comparison to our Hannigan RSV.

ME TOO

Hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

I tried contacting you, but the Provincial prison information system said inmates are not allowed to accept incoming calls Glad to see ya got paroled

She put on the "Bum" cream, does that mean she'll be living on the street begging for quarters now?

It's so you can call home for a trailer when your antique breaks down on the road. :rotfl:

I may be interested, what are you asking for them ?

Will you tolerate some tire noise to obtain longer tire mileage/life? (a little) Will you tolerate harder steering to obtain longer tire mileage/life? (slightly) What motorcycle or motorcycle trike are you riding? (08 Yamaha Venture Trike) How many miles do you want a good front tire to last? (25-35,000) How many years at most do you expect a front tire to last? (at least 2 seasons) Must have good wet traction.

The reviews look good. Now practice practice practice practice. 500 rnds a week till you can hit a fly at 50 yes.

I have a small collection of OTF's , switchblades and butterfly's. I'll get em out and post pics later. This one I just bought from a neighbor that makes knives as a hobby. http://imageshack.us/a/img515/839/kniferp.jpg

Troubleshoot problem Rivco Air Horns.

I like them ! Are they for sale ?

I don't exactly remember, but they are vent lines coming from either the carbs or airboxes. They are supposed to be open and not hooked to anything on the end you showed in the pictures. I too scratched my head for awhile when reassembling after the valve adjustment on what I was missing.
