  1. The price is $119,000 and orders are now being accepted with a $1,500 deposit with deliveries planned for 2014.
  2. There are several VR members in your area and I am sure one of them would be glad to look at your bike with you. If it is it the sound that is keeping you from going over 70 I would not worry about it since the rev limiters on these bikes are set well below the point where you will do any damage. I have hit the rev limiter in each gear (just to see for myself) and 75 is really nothing for these bikes. On my bike 75 is a sweet spot and it quiets down and just purrs.
  3. Welcome and glad you are enjoying it.

    Up: A two letter word indicating a vertical direction.
  6. Brent Evans lives Pickerington and rides a silver RSV but he is not a member here.
  7. Skid, How about we meet up at your place around 1000 and go from there? I am not familiar with Myrtle that much. Is that good with you two?
  8. Looks like Tuesday would work out best. So where and when?
  9. I don't remember any place where it could go down in the engine, it may be on it's side and hard to see along the valve train but if you heard it fall for any amount of time it may be wedged between the frame and the engine if it did not hit the floor.
  10. Also check continuity of the wires from the regulator connector to the battery especially the ground.
  11. Mike, Where did you buy the mosfet R/R from? Thanks
  12. So far the OEM one is the only one that worked, Rick sent me a new HO one like the one I had when I bought the HO Stator and it has worked for two days now and about 60 miles so will see if things are good now or not, it took the last one 500 miles to fail.
  13. I would not feel comfortable riding on tires that had sat that long they may have developed flat spots too.
  14. I think you are better off, you can't trust those even number Chiefs anyway
  15. That's my next step.
  16. We like to hit the little mom and pop wineries on our journeys.
  17. Depends on how close I was to the neighbor, If he was not one of my best friends I would have told him to go home.
  18. I figured a retired Radioman could make his own antennas
  19. Says it is a Venture S and the color is intense black so I am assuming it's a midnight. The salesman is supposed to call me today for my answer.
  20. The same thought had crossed my mind since I was first going by my onboard voltage meter, but at night the lights would go from dim to really bright so I checked it with a couple of different multimeters. Charge voltage 14 Volts at 1000 17 Volts at 2500 The New Regulator is putting out a steady 13.2
  21. Received another R/R from Buckeye Saturday and put it on the bike hopefully this will take care of it. I don't think another business would have put up with all the back and forth we have done.
  22. Thanks everyone for the advice, I think I will keep shopping around, like several have said if I have some doubt I should not buy even if it is a good deal. I had replaced my stator and R/R two years ago with the high output ones from Buckeye and about 3 months ago I had a R/R go bad so I bought another one from Buckeye and it was bad out of the box (undercharging), so he sent me a new one and it lasted about 500 miles before it started overcharging so he sent me another one and it has been on the bike for a day now will see how it works out.
  23. Leo you are welcome to come up and visit us.
  24. Cool, What's next?
