    Try the 00/01 calipers from the R1. I have them on mine, along with the black SS line kit and VMax splitter from Skydoc. He is great to deal with! I will admit that I stuck the 14mm master and calipers on with whatever pads were on them (from ebay) and was unimpressed. When I switched to the EBC HH pads, THEN I was completely impressed! Iz

    I thought the OEM front brakes wouldn't lock up as equipped J/K, never heard of an antilock retrofit for the RSV.

    It might be a 14mm, I don't know, but the ones I have seen are a totally different style.

    Remove both braces at the same time -- no problem

    Well, I'm looking for either a CD changer or a set of Kury offset pegs for my RSV -- figure I need about $150 so that's what I'll be asking.

    They are definitely loud. I put one on a friend's RSV I was working on yesterday and it was over my tolerable limit. I was thinking of stuffing some expanded steel into the inlet end to break up the sound flow a bit, but I might just sell them and have it over with.

    I have a set of fishtail pipes for the RSV that I'm trying to ID before I sell. No identifying marks on it that I have found. RSV mounting tab for under the bags. No seams, can't remove the baffles. I'm thinking Samson, but don't know how to verify. Any thoughts? I'll get some photos posted later this afternoon. Iz

    The covers were on the bike when I picked it up last year -- sorry, can't help you there.

    Go ahead and run them with the stock M/C. It will work, many will say just as good, and you get at least partial benefit while you wait for a M/C to float your way. The 14mm M/C will give you better feel, fine control and more power per equivalent power of pull on the lever, but the 5/8 will still work.

    Agreed on it being too full, especially when you top it off just before you replace worn pads with nice thick new ones
  12. Big_Iz
    I thought that was the LOW line. I should know this since I have had it apart so much, isn't there sort of a lip or ring about 3/8" down from the top on the inside that indicates full (about the depth of the rubber boot when fully collapsed)?

    Fair enough! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l115/Big_Iz/stuff/photobucket-21311-1336780621837.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l115/Big_Iz/stuff/photobucket-21309-1336780620103.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l115/Big_Iz/stuff/photobucket-36348-1336780620965.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l115/Big_Iz/stuff/IMG_20120508_172850.jpg And the obligatory bike shot... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l115/Big_Iz/stuff/photobucket-21589-1336780618331.jpg

    02-05 Road Star 1700 is what mine came from. Looks the same as OEM, other than the stock says 5/8 (lower left relative to the sight glass) and the Road Star says 14. Mine came in a little rough for my taste, so I stripped the clear coat, wet sanded, restored the factory brush/buff lines with a 000 steel wool pad, and sprayed with clear lacquer. You wouldn't know it wasn't new.

    I didn't mess with the chain on the RSV. With the tool, the RSV was the easiest adjustment procedure I have ever done (except for the tear down/reassembly). I was referring to my other bike, the VStrom 1000, of which I don't have to mess with the chain either, compared to the next one lined up, a ZX-9R, which will probably be the biggest pain of them all.
