    actually there was a cobra radar detector back in the 70's and 80,s I think one of them was called the king cobra.Then again I maybe wrong.

    black covers behind passenger floorboards.could get chrome at one time.now they are discontinued by yamaha.

    I agree with Freebird, these filters look pretty old.I wasn't able to get a lot of info on this bike when I bought it because the original owner died several years ago and the second owner didn't use it much when he owned it.I believe it set around for a long time with little or no use.As far as re chromming the covers its to late for me since I now own the new covers I pick up on ebay.Hopfully I will get a few years of use out of these before they peel. Condor,I'll let you know what I'm going to do with the old covers.Are you interested in chrome frame covers that are peeling?

    Right after I got the bike I found an exhaust leak,Cracked Y pipe.Found out about pinwall cycles here and checked them out.I bought a complete exhaust system with mufflers for $200.00.Just a new"Y" pipe from the stealer cost $600.00.After I recieved the pipes 3days later, I found some pin holes in the other pipe,changed out both pipes.I think I made out pretty good on that deal.saved myself about $1000.00.and the new exhaust system only had 15000 miles on it.

    Got a run around from the local chrome shops.plus it's not all that cheap.seems like they dont' want to deal with a small job like this.anywayThis was a lot easier.don't know yet what I'm doing with the set I have.Maybe I can sell them for $272.00 and recoop my losses.

    Don't know why it says K&N filters are required with billet covers.I have billet covers now and stock filters, they fit just fine.My billet covers came with the bike,used 99,with 41000 on it.the chrome is peeling off on mine thats way I was bidding on this set.What sucks is after I placed my bid,believing a new set would cost$438.00 plus s&h,i found them at several on line stores for around $340.00.:yikes:Looks like everthing for the rsv is being discontinued.Which tells me the bike is being discontinued.Anyway,I did save a couple bucks by winning the bid.But not much.Hopefully there will be a set of k&n filters with them.That would help lesson the sting.

    We used it.Works well as long as someone in your past kept good records.It relys heavely on past censes,keep in mind the 1890 or 1900 censes was destroyed in a fire can't remember now witch one.makes it diffacult to work around it.It is alot of fun,and alot of work.Took us several months just to go back to 1700's.It did fill in a lot of blanks in our family tree.Also don't relly on correct spelling of the names you are looking for.We thought we were at a dead end when my wife made a slip in spelling my great grand fathers last name.That slip opened up info we never knew.
  14. steamer
    The covers are still available, around $450.00.the ones here are not broken.just a bad picture.theirs also a good chance there is K&N filters inside.I hope so, since I have high bid.This is nothing,you won't believe what a set of chrome frame covers went for a couple weeks ago,over $250.00,and no I didn't win that bid,but I did make the other guy pay big for them.There not available through retail anymore.

    No one has hit on the obvious.It's the producers wife coming out of Chaplins dressing room.she realizes she's on film,puts her hand to her face to hide ,and knows she's been busted.If you watch her lips you can just make out, S#!T I'M SCREWED!:rotfl::rotfl:

    21 years in the Navy,worked in the engine rooms,they were steam powered back then.The guys that worked for me said that when I was pissed at them,that i had a full head of steam up....It's a Navy thing:think:

    Not the final drive.I had to change my final drive,whine was still there,so was the chirp.I believe the whine and the chirp is one in the same problem.It comes from the clutch or tranny.

    harley is an american icon just like John Deere.It's as american as apple pie and yankee doodle.It has nothing to do with the produce,It's all about being associated with the name.It says look at me I'm an american.Probably 90% of the people wearing HD and JD products don't actually own a HD cycle or JD tractor.Thats my 2 cents.

    UGH!

    Your right about letting them sit not being good for them.I bought my 99 in july this year with 41000 miles on it,for $5700.00, It had set around for most of the previous 2years.It ran like crap at first.Had to do a lot of maintenence to get her running like she should.Have 44000 on her now and running much better thanks to all the how to advise I found here.Look at it this way humbucker even if you don't like your new venture at least you have all these great folks her to thank.
  22. steamer
    I don't have this problem...before I got the venture I couldn't get the wife on my 900lt said she wasn't comfortable,the the seat was to hard,not enough back support.Now when i get home from work I find her in her leathers ready to go riding.And you thought I was going to say something else,didn't u.:rotfl:Get your mind out of the gutter.
  23. steamer
    Humbucker,It seems obvious to me that the rsv is going to be your next bike,so go get one!
  24. steamer
