    after rideing my used '99 rsv for over 4 years i don't think about it anymore. but when my son joe took his m/c rideing test on my bike. the texas driver license person, counted points off his test grade for not turning off the turn signals soon enough. i did not even try to explanen how they work on the rsv. joe was kinda mad about it but it was only a couple of points off a good test score. don c.

    we are limited as to what size tires will fit the rsv rim, those 2 sizes are: 155-80-15 or a 165-80-15. now the c/t manufactors are: b.f.goodrich radial t/a kumno power star 758 165-80-15 nexum vernerstien makes one as does mickey tompson but these 2 tires are about $165.00 each. the bfg cost me $45.00 and the kumno about the same. their maybe a few others but i can't find all my notes right now. thanks for the info. hope this helps don c.

    hi reed i have a 99rsv that i bought used in '06, it had bubs on it. i guess going on 2 years now ken came down to tom's in blanco. and we had a float setting class we were also doing the valve adjustments with buddyrich's help also. i have punched a couple of vent holes in the filler neck of the gas tank. i seem to be getting better gas milage out of the schoot. i realy need to start tracking it again to check. i know when i drove from houston to canada for the '08 international rally. my mpg veried from a high of 53.2 to a low of 30.0 mpg. ( my average was about 43.85 ) now this was with towing a fuly loaded trailer and my daughter sarah on the back. but this again was before the carb & float adjustments. i feel you won't have to set the floats with the bub's. this is just my experiance. reguards don c.

    hi kreg you are welcome & always glad to help. was a great weekend to spend time with friends. weather was outstanding, got about a 100 mile round trip in on saturday to look at the new toy. the finger is better, but it's got a lump on the left side behind the finger nail. may have something to do with the squid's medical "kiss". might have to go to the emergency room and get a shot for rabies. didn't i see brad foaming at the mouth when he has MANHANDLING that "little" bush? reguards don c.

    hi all i have mounted 2 c/t so far and they have both been over 100 psi. flab 78 & squidley had stated that the wheel should be very clean. i concure with this thought. but my two tires have seated only after 125 psi, i have mounted one tire by my self. the other had to have a bead blaster to seat it. but as always be safe. reguards don c. l

    hi walter thanks for posting this. truley a day that will always be remembered. i had thought i had seen some or all of this on the old victory at sea films. but it was great to see it again. i understand that in japan they only teach that there was a war and they did not start it. i could be wrong. reguards don c.

    hi all & welcome to the darkside. i have run the bfg for over 31,000 miles and no ill effects. i now have the kumho installed. i have about 6,000 miles on the kumho with a avon corba radial on the front. i am well pleased with this combo. attented the 1'st lousiannia mx day this last weekend, ran about 350 miles in the rain, tires ran great. i do have a spare rear rim that i will look at having the rim cut down a couple 1,000th's. to see if we darksiders can use less air pressure to mount the c/t tire. will keep ya'll informed as to how things are going. best reguards don c.
