I installed the same Custom Dynamics LED that was in my 2007 into my 2012. I wouldn't think your 2013 would be any different

http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/oemcatalogs/productsearch/star_accessories These are the Yamaha deflectors. Just put them on my bike

2007 did for sure and I think they still had them through 2010

Cruiser, what model year are they from?

Adding RK mufflers to mine now. I was given a set off an '07 model. The right one had the cat converter and the left is sometimes referred to as a "dummy" because very little exhaust passes through it on the Harley. An ebay search turned up a new left muffler so I am using two left RK mufflers. I have made up the rear support brackets and am waiting for the front chrome clamps to arrive. Since the front clamp will determine how far the mufflers slide on I have to wait to drill the final hole in each rear support bracket. Hope to have it done next week.

Similar to the wood burning tool, I use a soldering iron with a paddle tip and black zip ties for filler. Small wire such as paper clips cut into small pieces can be imbedded into the softened plastic to add some strength in crack repair if needed

About 1/4" shorter will raise the bike close to one inch. There is a write up in the Tech Library that describes how to make and install them. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?492-Leveling-Links-Raising-the-Rear-of-the-RSV

Yes, that is correct

Walley, Check out the History tab on this site as it will help you identify what it is. http://www.venturerider.org/history/index.php

that sounds like it would be the best plan based upon what you have described. Go for it!

i was given a set off a 2007 RK and the right one has the converter. I searched eBay for the left muffler part number and got one for $30.00 shipped. Now I have two left mufflers which should work fine. I slid them on to see how they sounded and liked what heard so now I will fab up some brackets when I gave time. I think I read the converter is in the right one through 2010 but not sure.

my donkey or my bike?

I have a Custom Dynamics modulator that is 2-3 years old. Flashes the LED under trunk bar plus the OEM incandescent bulb with no problems

I would have ridden this year but had to go to Minneapolis MN for the weekend (not on the RSV). Did drive through the Dells and Madison on the way home and saw bikes everywhere!

In general when repacking I have found that if you pack them too tight they can be louder since the packing becomes somewhat solid and doesn't absorb the sound as well.

Same for me

I think Seaking mentioned it, but be sure to check to see if the rear shock links have been replaced. A PO could have lowered the rear end which would cause handling issues.

I use a tank bag on long trips. I use it with its magnets only and have never needed the straps that came with it.

Just installed the Baggershield two days ago and haven't had a chance to ride with it yet. Switched from a full face Shoei to a new modular Shoei this year and love it.

Is that because @cowpuc has stickers under his shirt?

Isn't CANANDA somewhere up north of Canada?

I was hoping it would have turned and bit the guy kicking it

the filter I took off was Yamaha 5GH-13440-30. I don't normally use them but this was given to me with a jug of oil from the dealer. He gave me a free oil change as a customer satisfaction reward. Since I do my own work he gave me the materials.

I just finished installing the PL14610 (long yellow) with no problem. I purchased it at Advance Auto today. Their book specifies the ML number referenced a couple of posts back but that has been previously discussed in another thread as poor quality. Even though I have always used the PL14610 I did purchase the PL14612 based on the discussion in this thread. I will return it tomorrow. I'm not sure why I have always used the longer filter other than maybe it has more filtering capacity?? It is a little long put a simple tilt of it as I put it up into position does the trick.

Looks like a Honda F6B that someone crossbred with a can am
