Ok had to find one a bit better. LOL Its been years since I saw a deminstration but I think it was sort of a square frame and had like piano wire across it. Would it help if you did it with the wire and induced low voltage to help "melt" the soap and candles?http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2928/1114/1600/Fair060006.jpg

OK heres an option to think about. If you pull the gaskets out, take black RTV silicone and nicely run it around the same place the gasket came out. Your skill and precisness will depend on tool used. Maybe a flat tooth pick or the like. Anyways after you get the RTV where it should be and about the thickness of the gasket, take some vasiline and coat the edge that goes against the gasket. Dont need to make a mess but a thin coat. Let RTV skin up but still have a little pliability. Then install lens. The vasoline should keep the RTV from sticking the lens perminatly while making a ssemi-perminat gasket that wont fall out all the time. If you got crappy T-tops in a caorvette and the rubber seal has chunks out of it this will also work for a temp fix. Wanna know how I know?

They do. But the ones I have seen nobody over 25 can sit on one and walk the next day.

I had to fabricate one up to use my Craftsman ATV jack for my 900 Vulcan. When I got the RSV I moved the blocks a little. I used a couple 2x4 as mentioned. I think I had to notch a place or 2 but that might have been for the 900. I used a couple hose clamps to keep the wood on the rails of the jack and not slip n slide on me. Go lossen the battery connections on her car. When it dont start go fiddle with it and tell her the battery is on the way out. It may last a week or so. Then when you get the dough, divert the funds. You know kinda like the goberment and social security. Now you see it poof now its somewhere else.

I agree with Mike. Take a look at oil level first. I have been a victom of the "more is good" syndrome and had same result. Severety depends on level from my experience. My 900 vulcan was really picky. First time I changed oil on it I figured I should top it up like on car. WRONG It pushed oil out the breather hose, filled the bottom of the breather/air box then leaked all over the motor. I have accidently put more in my RSV on an ocasion and had simular results. Pushed oil out and I had oil dripping from the left hand air box area where I have hoses behind the leg fairing. I sort of use th metal star looking thing in the sight glass. The bottom part of the star is where I fill to. Its just a tic lower than half.

Saw a "brand new" Indian in Maggie Valley last Thur. If they are 27K no way I would pay that for a 1950's looking bike with nuttin on it. Just me. It looked OK but aint may bag. I guess I'm spoiled with a comfy seat, room for the wife and cruise. Victory needs to start naming thier other bikes like Custer, Buffalo Bill and (lone) Ranger. lol With this whole NFL cant call the Washington football team the "redskins" thing some Pc jack a$$ is probably lurking thier HQ and gonna tell them they cant name them Indian anymore.

I dont care for the smoked lenses. Got enough problems with cages not seeing my indications when turning/braking/changing lanes. sure dont want to camoflage it. But I did have to work on the front turn signals today and I have had the rears apart a couple times changing to LED bulbs and then back. (they didnt work as neat-o as I thought they would) Not particularly had any issues with the gaskets. I have had more troubles with the tailight lens gasket. The issue I had today with the front signal was actually the little plastic washer goober was so far down on the screw that it wouldnt pass thru the lens hole and get a bite. I had to turn the screw until the washer was against the lens then start it.

All we use to do on aircraft was install the pin and squeze the ends of hinge to keep from sliding out. Dont take alot.

We went to Maggie Valley today. Wheels through time museum today. Awsome place. They were filming today also. Talked to Matt and Dale both. Dale was 90 mph with his hair on fire, back and fort swaping bikes inside to outside. On the phone I guess looking for something rare. But the both had time to talk to folks including me.

I was thinking it was a Ural or whatever they call them. They make side hack jobs and are shaft drive so I dont see this being out of bounds for them.

Does it have oem exhaust? Or does it have RK muffs or some simular add on? I was reading a couple carb threads on the delphi fourm and the numbers escape me rite now but the jets are different sizes. Throw some seafoam in it 1 oz per galon of fuel. We can get together one day when we are both available and atleast sync the carbs up and take that out of the equasion. Does it idle somooth? Or does it lope up and down? Idle high or stumble upon acceleration?

Im not a carb specialest by any means. But if it needs a sync Im just down the road in Sebring. Im guessing the dealer your speaking is sky powersports? Have you had problems. I was thinking of applying for a mechanic position they had open.

Well when you said "southern members" I thaught you ment south like Fla. We are currentlt in Asheville area now on vacation. If you like early motorcycles you may want to look up the wheels through time museum in Maggie Valley. We are planing on Thur for our visit.

My 09 has a cd player. But like mentioned its a space hog. If traveling with the wife I need the extra space for a rain suit for her. I have a handle bar mount for gps which I have music on and a mount for phone which I use pandora. CD player is nice but i really dont use it much. If you search the gps threads I think its listed what the connector is. Its something old and outdated so part procurment is tough.

Some heat from a propane torch in the area may ease the grip on the bearing some. I would try with just the puller first.

Every once in a while I might see one. I saw 2 in Canada last month when on my trip and the other 300 miles not a one. Mine however will been seen tomorrow heading north in I 75 to Lake Lure NC.

THe chrome gas cap on my RSV has been bothering me lately with reflection in the windscreeen. I cant imagine how bad the bezel around all the do-dads on the gas tank would be on this thing.

I think I would really have a problem putting water in to gas and then think I was going to be able to run it in something. Call me crazy but my brain would probably lock up.

I have the entry level J&M jobs. If to do over again I would probably invest in the priceyer ones. I may try edsets in the future. I built myself an adapter so I can run earbuds along with or without the headsets. My shorty helmet dont have a mic so I run the earbuds.

I'm not saying they are right. But The white bike pulls over in the lane and slows. Clearly the SUV dont even seem to slow and closes the gap and then runs into the bike. Last time I knew of someone in an rearend accident the person driving into the back of someone got a failure to have vehicle under control ticket. The SUV could have slowed before hitting the bike, if so this is long before any stopping traffic, tire slashing, running over people and smashing of windows.

Hard to see but yea looks to be a belt seperation. Sharp curb, pot hole or even pavement gaps could cause it. If its that new maybe can get some sort of warrenty. Dont know but its worth the ask.

Saw this on the national news tonight. The SUV did hit one of the bikers causing him to go down and broke his leg. What caused the action for the fellow to try to slow or cut off the SUV prior to that? Did the SUV run some of them off the road? Cut them off. Dont know because all you get is the video, not anything prior. Were they right? NO but neither was the SUV. Wonder if someone in the SUV was on the road as soon as the bikes became agressive? Surely the passenger in the SUV could have gotten one tag number out of the mass of bikes. Were they jack a$$ causing the entire bike community to look bad? Maybe, but the other bike clubs dont help either. Some of those probably would have been carrying a firearm (sans permit) and just plunked the SUV dude. The reason I hold my reserve is once I was riding iwth some friends in Oklahoma. We got pushed off the side of the road into the breakdown lane and almost off a bridge. The driver never slowed to see if anyone was effected. We tracked them for about 15-20 miles and one of the guys that got squeezed off rode up next to them to give them a piece of mind, you know tell them they are number one and so on. The car then swerved to try to tak him out again. Well my buddy kicked the mirror off the side of the car and we went on our way. They werent using the mirror anyways when they merged.

Pretty reliable piece from what others have told me. I have 3 friends that are ladies that have had them as "starter" bikes. 2 of them are still riding them. The 3rd swapped for an 883 @ a good price a few years back. Enjoy.
