I bought my 2002 gen 2 about 4 months ago and the previous owner said it had a new battery , but after a couple of weeks of occassional use its dead flat , tried re-charging but battery would hold a charge even when not connected !! So i guessed dead cell and replaced the battery charged the new battery fully and fitted it. Over the next few days left it on my optimate charger . But for the following two weeks its been in my car showroom where i work , i went to move it today and guess what Dead! it lights the dash but just clicked when i atempted to start . What could be draining her or do these bikes need to live on the optimate chargers ! Cheers Edge

After Market Harley Fishtails
EDGE1 replied to EDGE1's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Im guessing there the same as standard roadkings . could they be american fine (AF)???? of some kind. Cheers -
Hi there ive just got a lovely pair of harley Roadking fishtails . Ive made my brackets but cant seem to find any bolts that fit the rear mounts . Does anyone know what thread and size i need . Cheers Edge

Surely looking at the picture i provided looking at the E basket it has visibly narrower teeth at the top and seems about the same at the base. So it shouldnt be a case it runs to tightly ? But all i can say is its fitted and is alot quieter ? Ill see how it progresses over the next few months .Cheers

Paid £30 about $48 Dollars it was the basket and the carrier with some spare plates and clutch spring. Cheers

Yep im smiling . As soon as id pulled away from the house i could tell it was quieter. Alot quieter in the first three gears about 70% i reckon, and nothing at all in forth or fifth unless i really laboured it at a far slower speed than you would normally do in those gears. I then experimented at higher than normal cruising speeds from 45-90mph in forth silent and from 50-100mph in fifth silent also . Very happy indeed and also adding the v-max spring to mine and putting a full size plate in has stopped the slippage. If i remember back to my early days as a car technician i think i remember having to adjust Jaguar rear diffs and you could over tighten the cogs on those and get an awful Whining ? Maybe the same with these and if its more tight in one place than another maybe thats where the chirping comes from. Hey just a guess . But i do know the V-Max one had narrower teeth and is much quieter. But i think ill keep the old one just incase the noise comes back . Cheers Edge

Hi . My noise wasnt to bad really it was just that the clutch had started to slip, and i had read the thread ref the guy who had fitted a 1st gen basket which he reckoned was the same as the v-max one and the whine / chirp had gone . So thought id give it ago . If no better ill leave in if worse ill swap back round . Thanks Edge

Hi. the guy said it was a 96/97 model . But Dont go out and buy one yet ill let you know if it made her quieter. cheers

Hi . That really sounds an awesome ride. I wish we had a bit more scenery where i live here in the UK . For really nice country side like yours id need to travel up north to Scotland. Really sounds a great few days. Cheers Edge

Yes cant wait to see what happens . I was thinking if the teeth are to tight maybe causes the whine ? Worth a try it was £30

Hi my 2000 venture's clutch started to slip about a week after ownership in 5th mainly so i decided to source a extra clutch spring to pop in there and hopefully sort the problem, but i decided to pop over to a local v-max spares guy i know. I bought a complete basket with plates etc . Well my original is a H basket, and the v-max one has a scruffy E marked on the back if that means anything on the max's . Well im yet to try it to see if it eliminates the whine as im waiting for a gasket , but i thought you might like a few picks i took to show the difference in the teeth . V-max on the left has noticably narrower teeth to the original H Basket . Does anyone know if the I basket has Narrower Teeth compared to the H ?? Oh and a pic of my clutch basket tool welded a big screwdriver to a spare clutch plate lol

Theres about 12 little pods of varying size, Doubt there strickly legal but the police dont seem to worry about it to much . Its a 2001 model in excellent condition done about 20,000miles. Radio didnt work when i got her . But sent it away to clarion UK and they replaced the Output ic. Got it back yesterday and all fixed so well pleased . Cheers

Hi, in a few of the Threads ive wrote a few members asked to see the Ride . It was a bit dark before i got the camara out but it looked kinda cool?

Thanks for the advice i reckon ill go with mineral . Cheers

Well prob the only hard bit apart from mounting the thing, is the main wiring loom , on a car its called the iso connector which is part of the loom and would plug directly into the Audio unit . If you dont have this you will need to wire it up from the fuse box or directly from the battery for a permanent live with inline fuse, and ignition for the switched live . Cheers Edge
