    RSTD Bar End Weights

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    They are great. Mark (Phoneman1981) has a pair on his bike & I had ridden his RSTD & they really fit me well. I ordered them, had about a year before we got around to putting them on at the Tri-State MD in Sterling. Have only ridden a few hundred miles since install, but they are everything I was hoping. No more shoulder aches or neck bind. Do you have a set of "Bar End Weights" 6 a RSTD?

    Looking for a set of "RSTD Bar End Weights". I put a set of Flanders "Pull Back" bars on my 06 RSTD. Now I want to put the RSTD bars on my "RSV". I need a set of "Bar End Weights" for a RSTD to put on the bars. The bar end weights are the ones that have the bolt running all the way through them to a nut in the end of the handle bar.

     

    Thanks, Dan

    wrong number on tire size

    I put a 130 on the front of my RSV after reading about the better slow speed handling & have really liked it. I didn't experience any poor handling at speed so I really like the change. Have a 130 hanging in the garage to put on my RSTD when the front wears out. Can't wait.

    I got a nice surprize last Sunday. Patrolman46 called and invited me over for a ride. When I arrived he had the garage stall empty for me. I had mentioned a few weeks ago that I was intending to replace my EOM air filters soon. Dan has always ran K&N filters in his pickup and wanted to go that way on his two bikes. Little did I know he purchased another set for me as a gift. I visited with him as he installed them on my bike.:) We took a 60 mile ride afterwards and enjoyed a great afternoon. Thanks Dan.

    I ride withe the perfect example of a guy they pattered this code by. Some of you know him as Phoneman1981. He is the most helpful guy in the world & he knows somebody everywhere that can help in any situation. I have only been biking with Mark for 3 years and I could write 10,000 words, and tell of numerous stories I have personally witnessed. We are really lucky to have this great group of guys & gals here @ VRO to fall back on, but stopping and helping a stranger is the ultimate "Paying It Forward".

     

    Keep up the good work and thoughts. What goes around, does come around.

    Got my Venture!!

    HI y'all, I have been looking for the right Venture for about a year. I have even gone as far as 400 miles just to look at one. I found this 2006 black cherry with 37k in Las Vegas. I called and talked to him and he sent me a lot of pics and fell in love with it. I talked him down to $6000. So I flew down on a thursday from Idaho. He picked me up, drove to his house drove bike and made the deal. Then I proceeded to drive 650 miles home. After cleaning it up and adding a few things I just love the looks and ride. Will be poking in here now and again to get info and advice, great forum you have.

     

    Oh by the way here is my other ride, 08 Raider. Also a Yamaha Star.

     

    Welcome to our little liars nest. Great group & you made a good deal & got a GREAT looking bike

    Owen, I feel for your predicament during this accident. I think we should all take a little lesson with your reenactment of this accident. We need to have a little more info about those we are riding with. I was made very aware of this by Phoneman1981 (Mark Shields) 2 summers ago just before we rode to Sturgis. We had just recently met on this site, even though we lived within 25 miles of each other for 20+ years. Mark said we should trade important info, *wifes name & phone #, allergies, meds taken, blood type, etc.* Fortunately we never had to use the info, but I still have his & we ride together quite a lot.

     

    Keep us up to date on Aharbi.

    2006 rstd lowering kit

    in General Tech Talk

    Posted

    I had the dealer install a Baron Lowering Kit and it's a great addition to the RSTD. The handling seemed to be the same, although I only rode it about 50 miles home from the dealer. The only thing I noticed is the headlight will need to be adjusted as it was shining pretty high. I also took the RSV sown to have a lowering kit put on it. It is a little taller than the RSTD. It will be great to get it lowered a little. Mark (Phoneman1981) & I will get together and compare the feel of a lowered and non-lowered RSTD & let you know. We were going to do this install ourselves, but I have run out of time and got impatient to get it installed so I had the dealer do it. When I picked the bike up the mechanic said the only thing that was a little dicey was the relocation of the brake caliper, (sometheng about having to turn or relocate the banjo) maybe a little to advanced for me without some help. Anyway the lowered bike is really nice when you pull up to a stop sign.

    Arm Rests for RSTD

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Well after all of these years, my wife has decided to ride (some). I installed these passenger armrests http://www.motorcyclereararmrest.com/ . The metal is aluminum and it is very well made. Cost $149.00 plus $15.00 for UPS ground. Arrived in four days after order. Less than one half the price of Love Handles http://www.motorcyclearmrest.com/ . Just had to drill two holes to mount with the lower backrest screws.

     

    Where did you get the "Beaded Seat Cover? Thanks, Dan 970-396-1609
