    I have the KROMEWERKS no problem with fitment or rust, lots of compliments on the sound. The guy I bought mine from and who I normally recommend sold his business, but the new owner said he would try and carry them if he can. If you are interested, go to www.SOTMC.com and email DR Xtreme about the pipes, tell him I sent you, and let see what he can do. Good luck

    As I recall from the days when I had my 98 TC, that connector was always tough to get apart. Sometimes a little rocking the top part back and forth along the long axis while holding the bottom worked. Patience is the key.

    Meguires and I am sure other wax manufacures make scratch and swirl removers. I have used both for single scratches and swirls that appear after several washings. They work pretty well , it is a slow process and sounds like you have affected a large area. Try going to Meguires web site they usually have pretty good help sections. Good luck

    Do a search on Google for Vapor Polishing Plastic and see if there is a compnay in your local area that an do it. Sometimes just the application of heat from a good heat gun and I have seen people actually use a propane torch very lightly to help clear up some plastics. BE CAREFULL IF YOU DO THIS You could also try some of these kits for refurbishing plastic headlight covers, I have seen them in the autoparts stores.

    Dan The ones on my bike are straight out of the Yamaha accessory catalog, I ordered them from Roush and see the link I posted in a previous reply. I am not sure why there is a difference in the catalog picture and the actual part that is delivered. Worst case if do not like what you get you could send them back or sell them to another member. Good luck.

    I purchased mine from Roush Accessories, see previous posts for a link. Personally I have never actually seen the smoke tinted set only the clear.

    When I first got my 07 I started getting pains in my shoulder blades, not teh same as your lower back, but the addition of 1.5" risers changed my posture just enough to get rid of the pain. That was 28,000 miles ago and no issues. It could be your riding posture, the vibrations in the RSV should not be so severe as to cause back pain.

    yep, was in the Daytona paper this past weekend, thought they would have tried to hang on for bikeweek.

    I was wondering there are any other folks on this website former or current that worked for McDonnell Douglas Services on the Peace Sun Program in Saudia Arabia? I worked for the program for 4 years from 1982 to 1986 in Taif as mechanic/trainer on the M61A1 20mm cannon on the F-15. (Thus my screen name) I did run into one old friend, Mark Eaton, about a year ago as a result of this forum and the STAR web site. Really quite an experience living in that part of the world, but much more relaxed then than today. Would enjoy hearing from anyone out there.

    Yes there is enough slack available in the cables so you do not have to change them. It takes a liittle tugging and pulling, make sure to check the throttle does not stick when you are at the full left or right stops.

    Ruffy, That is all good news, as hard as it is do what the doctor says, looking forward to seeing you at the next FLA meet and greet.

    I put them on my 07 an found that yuo get a bit of shake in the fairing on hard bumps. I made a set of extensions for the rubber bumpers out of rubber inserts that are sold to put into coil springs on car suspensions. Reshaped the original bumpers a bit and then linked the two parts with a metal strap. Works very well and looks OK, they are prety well hidden down under the fairing. See the links below for photos. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/royalsteve/DSCN0415.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e224/royalsteve/DSCN0416.jpg One other issue with the risers is that they will hit the plastic fairing that covers the ignition switch when you turn the bars to the stops on either side. Does not hurt any thing but does scuff the ignition cover a little bit.

    Well from 1998 to 2001 theTOUR CLASSIC had soft leather bags and the TOUR DELUXE hadhard bags. Other than that they are the same.

    Do you think they tested these in snow and ice yet? Looks a little dodgey to me.

    Try this link, I have the same unit, but purchased it from someone else, but can't remember who that was. Works pretty well. http://qualitytoolsforless.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=904

    You know one thing that has not been said in in effort to help out those less adept at computers than some and it is a great feature of this site, many times you do not have to do a search, because a list of similar threads will be listed at the bottom of the page. Right now there are 4 or 5 other threads listed at the bottom of this one. Oh yeah, I am going to Avons next time I need to change, hated the factory stock Bridgestones, liked the Michieln Commanders, now have Metzlers (because thats all I could get after a blow out with the Commanders) I keep a real close check on the Metzlers after all I have read about them.

    Depending on how you are using your lap top you have some options. If you are like me and have it on the counter top in the kitchen, or now on my desk because my mother boad on my PC crapped out you can attach a regular mouse to a lap top. Granted you may have to get a USB compatible mouse, heck I even use a regular key board and monitor with my lap top now that the PC is dead till the mother board arrives. I set the lap top so I can close the lid and still use it, set it in the corner and use the monitor from my PC , the mouse and the keyboard just like always. Now if you are using the lap top because for the portablilty, none of the above applies, pain in the butt trying to use a mouse with your lap top when you are sitting in the recliner watching TV and surfing the net at the same time.

    Freebird No problem, but I think you may have missed my message, Roush will BEAT the price not just match the price, if they were just matching then sure stay with the original vendor that offers the best price to start with. One thing about Ron Ayers right now is the free shipping, no such offer from Roush that I know of, that could mean a lot of savings especially if you are on the West coast. Actually wish I had known about Ron Ayers back before Christmas when I ordered my chrome air cleaner covers, could saved about $30.00 +.

    I hear what you are all saying, but who doesn't already check several places on the internet for pricing when getting ready to make a purchase? I do it every time I make a purchase, if I find someone that will BEAT not just MEET the price of a competitor and all it costs me is the time to post a link to a site I already found anyway to the comments section of their order form. You all do it how ever you like, but I will continue to ask for the additional discount from vendors like Roush when ever possible. I do appreciate the link to Ron Ayers, he does have exceptionally good pricing and I will use that to leverge an even better price from Roush the next time I make a purchase.
  25. M61A1MECH
    If they are cheaper than Roush accessories, then order thru Roush and let them know. Roush will beat any internet advertised price.
