    I bought my own xmas gift today. Had to replace that rear shock because it was getting a bit sloppie going into the corners. After doing my research within most of you are staying away from the yamaha product and going with the company "Shock". I called 1-818-701-1010 and talked with Tom. He provided me the VentureRider 10% discount and said it should be about 2-3 weeks at a cost of $ 620.00. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks for your inputs, red rider-I will look into the aria helmets. what I liked about the nolan N-43 is that the chin section is removable. I did go to the J&M site but could not find any technical data that would tell me what is the differance between the two. I will hem and hau about it a bit longer and then just dig deeper into the (I just want it) money pocket and get the elite model:happy-emoticon:

    ya, i had j&m sets with open helmets and had to turn it up to 18 and that allows us to talk at the stop light. when we got going the wind and my fishtail pipes.. we could not talk. I think with their aeromike III microphone it will do a better job at canxing the noise. Both the elite and performance adds say the same thing when it comes to the hardware with no mention what is the difference.

    I plan to purchase the N43 trilogy helmet with a J&M headset. I have looked and looked but I can not find out what is the differance between there Elite (584) headset and the Performance (279).. except the price! Do you know? or is there a web site that does a side by side comparison/review. I welcome your inputs toward other headsets. The helmetshop.com has the helmet at $249, the elite headset for $209 and the Performance headset for $180.

    While at daytona this weekend I was looking for a new helmet for my (cold) night driving up in Jacksonville, FL. I was at the Helmet Shop and found the new Nolan N43 Trilogy. Now I tried on Nolan's in the past and they alway rubbed on my forhead but this one has been changed to fit my noggon great. Price-eee at about $240 bucks but take a look into it and tell me what you think of it. I didn't buy it... only because I had not done my research yet and I stepped away from the counter when I started thinking about putting my intercom onto it. If I installed the set I now have (J+M) I would have to cut a chunck out of the new helmet so I am thinking hard about putting an other $175 into a head gear that will fit right into the helmet (like their n-comm unit does). Anyway, I did find out that this new N43 helmet over in Europe is called the N43 Air. That one has a better air flow then the trilogy but is not sold here.'''' Now that is the one I would like to buy! So if anyone has the nowhow on how I can get it...(like some of our venture buddys over in Europe) please help me out. ken

    i have that kinda slight numing vib at about 70-80. When i was rebuilding the bike after it was totaled one of my dog bone bolts would not align. I am thinking that is my problem with the vib's so you might check out you engine dog bones and make sure they are torqued down.

    A few years back my neighbor figured it out that he would never be able to ride his 03 RSV again. He was not one to give up easy and he was alway picking on me for riding my FLHTC. I knew he did not want to sell it but when I told him I would sell my Harley if he would allow me to purchase and rebuild his...well he gave in. He new i would take good care of his loss love. Well I did my homework (not knowing much about RSV's ) and discovered that they had a good history of not being in the repair shop. (not like the HD:crackup:) and parts for the broken plastic were (in time) on ebay. It took a bit getting use to the higher center of gravity but the power was great. My wife loves the back seat area but I did miss the large trunk of the HD.. so I modified that. We love this new ride and my neighbor is happy knowing it is being taken good care of.

    I though I had gained toooo much weight over the hoidays because my scooter was gggrrrrowning each time I sat on it. Then I found out it was just no air over the rear shock! I tend to keep mine on the low side and bump it up to 25-30lbs when my (little) wife is riding. I'll get brownie points for that last line. I bought my little hand pump at the Harley dealership. It works great, small and not to expensive!

    If I did this pic attachment thing right then there should be a picture of my wife and I while we were up in S.D. this summer.

    being that the Ipod is not waterproof I put mine into a plastic box that is used to hold ID's. Got in on the navy base exchange. it has a sealed lid that locks down. I drilled a small hole in the cover for the wire. You can't change your volume or music but it stays nice and dry. cost was about $6 bucks.

    My did some photo shop stuff of my bike for me!

    I would take a wrench to the valve stem and check that area first. I found mine to be seeping air. Then a week later I found the tire flat. I jacked it up and filled up a plastic pan with water and set the rear tire down into it. little bubbles verrrrry small were coming out at the edge were the tire and rim seal. I used ride-on and air leak is gone. I think of it as cheep insurance against flats at 70mph but I do agree you need to look at those tires every time you clean them. (www's get wash a lot!) That plastic pan I got at home depot. it is used to mix cement
