No need to take the risers off.
-
The first 4 are from my 01 with the factory top tree the next 3 are the Hannigan ez steer top tree.
-
Is it effective at signing or is there a waiting period ? Don't forget about the extra insurance the law calls for.
-
No need to worry about that, this is the never ending game !

Let's see how this works. If it is accepted your next target is You, your bike and a statue with a horse and rider. Preferably a war memorial, but not necessary. it can be from any era. See sample pic Happy Hunting.

You know us, we'll always chose the scenic route if time allows.

3# is the stock 2 wheel torque. Hannigan reccommends 38-45 pd/ft for a RSV.
-
Using a drift you can only guess at how much torque is being applied. Take the time to do it right.

If I only knew that that $12 was gonna be the down payment on the thousands of dollars this place has cost me I'd have joined sooner

PGR honor missions are one of the best things I ever became involved in. Your presence there WILL make a difference and you'll never know the comfort it brings to a grieving family, to see that there are people who do care about the sacrifice they and their loved one have made. It's the right thing to do.

Do your best to convince her to take the MSF and buy a bike that matches her abilities. Today we went to the funeral of a 22 year old Man from the neighborhood, 2nd year rider, hit broadside at an intersection. Not his fault but you have to wonder if more experience would have made a difference.
-
Your not bringing that goose with you to the Quality Inn are you ? Let me know now so I can make other arrangements!
-
Almost the same. The ez steer top tree is a little deeper than the stock one, it needs to be lifted just about off the tubes before you can get the wrench on it.
-
Yes it is. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/217-259

You have to raise the top tree almost off to get the wrench on the lower ring. use a torque wrench. Dingy sells the neck wrench on the member vendor section. When you use it keep it at a 90* angle to the torque wrench to get a true reading. You'll need to remove the fairing to get to the top tree. Just follow the instructions in the tech section. RSV/ Hannigan should be 38-44 pd/ft
-
That's great news Karl, M&E's wouldn't have been the same without you. Now get on that bike and find us a sign
-
Hey neighbor! I also have an 01 RSV. We'll be heading down to Freebirds MD in June, you are more than welcome to join us for the ride down. There will be many RSV doctors in attendance to look at the patient and offer suggestions and maybe a helping hand.
-
That's a good question. I would imagine that if a damper were the best option Hannigan would have one available for the RSV and push it's use over torquing the bearing. I had thought about trying a damper but mounting one may be a problem. not much room up there on a 2nd gen.
-
I had that wobble too. Correcting tire pressure and torquing the head bearing to 44ft/pd did the trick. Mine was at the Yamaha factory setting of 3# The 38-45 ft/pd was recommended by John at Hannigan.

You could put your headset speakers in them, a little duct tape to hold them on your ears A quiet ride and great acoustics
-
That does look good. -
If you haven't yet, set up a relay and draw Headlamp power direct from the battery, it will brighten the HL and make it look more like the LED passing lamps. Passing light power from the battery will brighten them also. I have Wagner 4449 sealed beams in both RSV's, one setup with the relay (01), one not (08), the one drawing from the battery looks bright white while the other looks yellow. Both are running Silverstar Ultras and the 01 PL's look to be the same color.

I found that a 6" .22 loaded with shotshells works great for eliminating the pesky little devils. The shotshell is great if you are in a neighborhood with houses nearby.
