Do you have a photo that shows the profile? Many places like McMaster Carr stock various types and sizes ruber gasket materials. Here is a link to some possibilities. McMaster-Carr McMaster is very good about supplying samples be fore purchasing.

Leesburg is good, smallish city, good riding area, medium sized bike rally every year in April. It is in the central part of the state so gets very warm in the summer, no cooling sea breezes, but the Atlantic or the Gulf coasts are only an hour away, one east one west.

Any particular destination in mind? The east coast below Jacksonville to south around Fort Pierce is not so congested as the west coast and also cooler in the summer due to Atlantic sea breezes. I am in the Daytona Beach area, riding in this area is not great, but about 45 minutes west it is pretty good.

I ran HH pads on my 07 for 6 years with no problems, still had some on her when she was sold with 71,000 miles, I will admit I never did put a mic on the rotors, so cannot say if the rotor wear was excessive, but like many thing in life, brake part are very dependent on how you treat them, you are a heavy breaker then things wear out faster. I was always mindful that I had HH on the rear, given the propensity for Royals to lock up the rear wheel on semi-hard breaking situations. -
I am taking Friday the 13th off work, so I will around somewhere, normally spend a lot of time at the speedway, but with all the construction they are doing on the speedway, it is hard to say what or who will be set up there.

The big problem with driving on 19 south of Weeki Watchee is not the old folks behind the wheel, it is their parents behind the wheel, you really have to watch out for the blue haired ding bats that is for sure, does not matter if in a car or on a bike, they are out to get you.

I am not sure what is going up, do not follow it much now that the shuttle is over. They launched a Space X cargo ship a few weeks back and Saturn 5 last week.

Dion's route looks pretty good, pick up the Turnpike where it intersects I-95, I was thinking you wanted to go due west from Titusville to get the Turnpike, that would be out of the way, but the Turnpike will get you out to the west side of Miami and be less traffic and probably quicker. I seldom venture that far south, and forgot that the Turnpike went so far east. Depending on when you in the area, may we can hook up, I am only about 25 milles south of Daytona and 25 miles north of T'ville. Launches are as about as predictable as the weather, often they postpone sometimes several times or for several days, so planning on seeing one if you only in the area for a few days will be a crap shoot at best, good luck, they are mpressive to watch I will say that.

Maybe a bit of clarification is needed in your question. Are looking for roads to ride just for the pleasure of riding, or are you looking for an alternate route from T'ville to the Keys that does not involve the Interstate, you would be going a long way out of your way to get to the "Florida Turnpike" from T'ville, I assume you are generically using the word Turnpike for Interstate? To answer your question that I thoink you asked, tere are some North/South roads on th eeast coast other than I-95, but you are not going to get anywhere very fast, US 1 and A1A are one choice, but lots of traffic and slow speed zones, like 35 MPH. There really are no north / south routes west of US 1 or I-95, there are some roads but they go thru housing developments are straight and would not be condusive to motorcycling. If it were me, I would be headed down I-95 to I-75 and what ever is south of Miami. If you think going north and south is tough here in FL, try going east or west.

Monty Python did a movie back in the 70's named "The Holy Grail" Can't think of either with out of the other. Knew a guy in the Air Force that had all of the dialogue in the movie memorized. "Bring me a Shrubbery."

Mike your ballon is orange because it is your location, mine is orange when I look a while logged in, yours is blue when I look at it logged in as me, as I am sure mine is blue when you are logged in, unless of course I am logged on then mine would be green, if you were logged on when I looked yours would it be green. Got it?

Muffler mod 98 RSTC
M61A1MECH replied to tinyfox's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Point of clarification, if you have a 1998 Tour Classic as stated in your original post or a 98 Tour Deluxe as your signature indicates, and have a 4 to 4 exhaust set up you do not have the stock pipes for that bike, they may be stock Yamaha mufflers , but they are from a different Royal Star model. All of the 98 TC and TD came with 4 to 2 set ups. None of this helps you with your question, but I will urge caution about modifing the mufflers, once the are done you cannot go back and replacement mufflers and pipes for the early Royal Stars are vey scarce. Some have done that mod and liked it while some have and hated it.
