    I original post was in the wrong thread It was in 1st Gen Tech. So I'm posting in this thread. Today, I have just developed a very high squeal in the headset. I have tried to trouble shoot by using various headset in different helmets and changing out the various cables to no effect. The squeal does not affect the external speakers. It is only present when the lower end cable is plugged into the bike connection. Its the same with the passenger connection also. I really need the communication between rider and passenger. It is a constant very very high pitch. I had the problem once before and found the problem to be a short in the wire, actually was caused by the cable getting cought in the rear break caliper, had a very high pitch squeal disconnected the plug cleaned out the caliper, new cable and worked fine. The cable I am using now is brand new bought from a honda shop here in san antonio, then switched out cables and all have the same problem. It was not the antenna cable it was the passenger com. cable that got cought by the caliper. I was running with the right side saddle bag off so the wheel was exposed to the elements. In case you hadn't noticed on my avatar I have a 08 RSV. I don't think I can remove my left panel. I hate electronics!!!:confus ed24: Any suggestion??? I want to thank Condor for setting me straight on my posting location. Rick A.

    Well, it looks like I'm turning to the Dark Side. Purchased yesterday a Kumho, 165/80 r 15. It will be mounted to RSV next week. Since my bike has s sidecar attached, I have no idea what to expect as far as handling and traction. what about inflation? Recommended inflation or less-more? What about a compliment tire for the front?? Any Ideas?? Rick A.

    For all my time in the Army, the only thing I HAD to buy was my health and welfare items. Every thing else was WANT to have or WOULD LIKE TO HAVE items. 68 - 78 Rick A.

Nice lunch, headed back to Leaky then to Utopia, Hondo then home at about 16:00 hrs Great COOL ride, my bike sidecar and my wife and the temp did not get above 60 degrees. Rick A.

    I have been saying the same thing about LA, not the whole of California. Texas is not that greedy. Rick A.

    So true. I live in San Antonio TX and their are prob. about a dozen or more VRider members in south-central TX. I to wish we could meet more often, usually it looks like most of the fun meetings are adhoc, like when a fellow VentureRider travels to another area and post his travels a M&E forms very quickly which is a good thing. I just wish it could be done more often. I am not a lonely rider I am also a Road Lt. for my club and we have rides almost every weekend, even in the winter, hehe. But we all ride different bikes and I some times would like to ride with others with the same brand bikes. I guess I just crave more rides than my club can give me. Is that so bad?? Rick A.

    I have to be honest here. I am really confused about the various cords to have to chose from. You have to select from various types of lower end, z cords. You select at headset and then you have to select cords. Choices, CHOICES why cant it be simple?? Lost in Texas. Rick A.

    Annie you are so right. This very incident happened to my wife and I last year in March. We were on a club ride in the morning in the Texas hill country when a deer came out of no where jumped in front of my bike with the sidecar and almost hit the bike behind me. You talk about pulse racing WOW!!! We are about to do the same route again this month for the same ride. Rick A.
