  1. As a temp repair to get you home OK but fancy selling it like that and not telling could of caused a major accident or worse
  2. Looks like he lives off his bike
  3. Thats the main reson i cut mine down when it rains you have to contend with rain on both sides of the screen but i also wear a full face helmet so another piece of plastic to try and see through and when its cold the heat from the engine rises and fogs the screen as well
  4. Yes helmets are compulsary in Oz looking at mine after the accident dont think i would have survived without it i also believe that there should be a minimun dress standard to stop persons riding in shorts and teeshirts.
  5. Thanks peoples for your support and encouragment
  6. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQj05Db-C3c Watch this video this is how i did mine or type cutting down motorcycle windscreen into Google search engine there is several options there
  7. As a Aussie i cannot believe that people would do something as grotesque as that it brings a tear to my eye each time i hear of a falled soldier wether he be American or Aussie, some people have definatley got thier priorities wrong good on you guys for standing up for the cause
  8. Left the Caltex servo at Batemans Bay 160klms from home for a overnight ride in the pouring rain heading to Tathra anothe 160 klms south with 2 other riders, about 5klms south the RTA has taken out the left hand lane dropped the speed limit to 60klms and painted out the double white lines on a slight corner at the start of their taper. Well the rear hit the paint and i was gone high sided slid throughin over the road into the oncoming lane (thank God none was coming)and hit my head and various other parts of my body on the gaurdrail i was unconsious for a few mins Ambo arrived dont remember to much about the fall but thankfolly the 2 mates and a Dr on his way to work fixed me up.I was in i fair bit of pain and had to endure a 25 min Ambo ride to Moruya for a CT scan,after discharge (Noeline wife )had driven to meet me and as always to take the sore body home.In the hospital i was breathalysed and the Highway cop told me that normally i would have been charged with Neg Driving but on the testimony of the 2 mates and the Dr and he could see what had happened he was going to let me off.As you can imagine the bike took a beating Noeline and Alana(Daughter) went to the NRMA holding yard in the Bay to retreive my gear fron the panniers one bloke said rightoff one said probably repair the thing is parts are fairly rear in Oz as not a lot of XVZ around in wreckers and new body parts would be impossible to obtain.After all i am feeling a bit battered and bruised but im alive to talk about it thankfully.
  9. Im 5foot 6 cut mine down 100mm should have done in 4 steps 25mm at a time and try on each cut so i wish it was 50mm taller but i have got used to it now
  10. I would love to join but alas im also out of town tonite
  11. Change my oil at 5,000klm intervals filter also i dont see any reason that these engines wont do 200,000klms + considering ive had sports bikes that have bigger milage than this and rev a lot higher
  12. Nice looking bike for a 87
  13. I cut my stock shield on a RSTD down 100mm for the same reason i wanted to see over it in the rain on reflection i should have done it in increments of 25mm as i think it would have been better at 50 mm taller.After 12,000klms ive got used to it and i think vision is more important than the slight discomfort it causes.
  14. Not to long ago i installed the Barnett pressure plate and used the same friction and steel plates must say i am now very happy with the results.A word of warning DO NOT be tempted to pull in the clutch lever until the pressure plate is sitting correctly and bolted down as this will bottom out the slave cylinder and you will never get the plate into the correct spot dont ask me how i know this.
  15. My previous bike was a 99 VStar Custom and the wife complained that the vibration through the pegs made her feet go num no such issues with the RSTD
  16. All the Gear all the Time I often wonder what some guys think when they take wife/girlfriend for a ride and they have full protective gear and their companion has a helmet tee shirt shorts and joggers often these people have never had a off to know how much damage can be done even at low speed.
  17. Think this goes with the brand most are the same here in Aus
  18. Check out this Aussie Daves site www.farriders.com this man had done it all he was killed on a motorcycle when he hit a deer i think in Canada a few years back now i got to meet hin as a member of a motorcydle club i also belong to a great bloke
  19. Looks good how do you get the forks and the resiviors so shiny
  20. Did you get this fitted yet and whats your thoughts on it whilst riding
  21. As i bought my 05 RSTD second hand it came with no tool kit is the pump part of the kit and can i buy separate and from where Thamks Terry
  22. All the gear all the time, i cringe when i see people riding in singlets and shorts knowing that sooner or later they are gonna get hurt.
