    My wife loves her Diamond R armrests and adjustable foot pegs, beverage holder keeps the complaints to a minimum (other than my speed). Armrests along with my Utopia backrest makes her feel very secure ~~ She actually reads books or naps while cruising the interstates! Went with a Russell Day Long custom seat. We're in the saddle 11 hour days without and discomfort or complaints. No more butt breaks ~We only stop for gas, chow and restroom.

    I run using these hot white LED running lamps switched on at all times,... only draws .1 volts when feeling uncomfortably vulnerable I activate the headlight modulator too. The combination will wake the comatose! :yikes: http://www.motorcycleimpacts.com/images/led-running-light-pods.jpg

    Just spray some WD40 around the rubber & bushing while working the clutch lever. Will clean and lube the area eliminate the pop and squeak. I do this every spring keeps thing nice, smooth and quiet.

    Dang, did that once many years ago. Since then I usually keep my wallet in a zippered inside jacket pocket or tucked in the tour pac. Makes the ride much more comfortable! For touring I drilled a hole through the corner of my credit card large enough for a small key ring or clip to pass and wear it on a lanyard around my neck. Makes gassing much easier without risking loosing my wallet or any of its contents. I can feel the card against my chest before pulling away. Just a suggestion .... it works for me

    A few years ago I had similar problem with my Rivco stand. Found the stops had bent back a slight bit placing the stand at a more severe angle when engaged (rear tire just grazing the floor when up on stand) that made it about impossible to get bike down. Contacted Rivco , sent stand back and they replaced the stand at no cost to me. I no longer sit on the bike to rock it off the stand and thing have been perfect since. To get it down I reverse the up process while standing at bikes side.

    I replaced my stock with a Day Long many years ago.(went with the cloth covering) At 6'03" 260lbs I ride in total comfort all day without any soreness in my upper legs when dismounting. Wife loves her passenger pillion too. Best money spent in my mind ... and butt.

    When my Yuasa battery gave up I researched and found good reviews of the Deka glass mat battery. I ordered the Deka model ETX20L Powersport battery (310 cca) from Tri-State Battery in Newark, Delaware. Internet pricing was a reasonable $77.95 delivered. Placed internet order on Tuesday morning and TSB had battery delivered via UPS on my door step in N.J. at 10 a.m. the very next day. Battery fit my 99 RSV perfectly and was ready to go right out of the box showed 12.7 volts. I was put back on the road quickly.... Will definitely use this company again http://www.venturers.org/Forum/images/smilies/jumping-smiley-013.gif Link is http://www.tristatebattery.com/product_ ... cts_id=981

    I'm running 25 psi in my 5.30 x 12" trailer tires.

    new trailer

    Sgtglenn replied to kyle's topic in Watering Hole

    I've got the XL trailer and absolutely love it Makes going on trips a breeze - no more worrying what to pack - she can take it all with her. Don't feel it while cruising. Be sure to give yourself more room / time for braking, that's when you feel it pushing. I've been running tires at 25 psi with good results.

    Used my Transition jacket last season. Very impressed with its warmth, lots of features and pockets. Waterproof to point where I don't even consider stopping to put rain suit on. Wife was so impressed with mine that she wanted one.... needless to say, she now has one. We're thrilled with this jacket Got mine online from Leatherup.com fast shipping too. www.leatherup.com/s/tourmaster transition 2

    During my trip to the Dragon a few years ago I stayed at a Microtel Hotel in Robbinsville. Nice, clean motorcycle friendly hotel - have dedicated cycle spaces by the front door. Note - Hotel is in a dry county. Must bring in your own adult beverages from outside the county.

    I had the same problem with my aux. set up. Rather than using the Mix It device, I installed this AmpliRider. Works great, Aux volume now equalized and can be adjusted independent of the bikes audio volume controls. Super easy installation and less $$$ than the mix It. Got it from these folks: www.electric-avenues.com/amplirider.html I disassembled the remote volume knob from the box and mounted it through the dashboard just to the left of the left speaker for a "factory" look.

    I'd be leaning towards a bad cell in the battery. I've had brand new batteries not holding charges due to bad cells, either mishandled in shipping or poor quality control during manufacturing:doh:

    Thats great If memory serves me right speed limit on BRP is 45 mph The Venture will usually get great mpg's when the speed is kept below 60 mph along with a smooth, steady throttle.

    When I installed splitter in the Aux line to receive input from the XM receiver and Zumo there was a huge drop out in volume in the XM that is unacceptable. To solve this problem I installed this Ampli Rider device into the Aux line that equalizes and amplifies up to 3, 3.5 aux device inputs (mounted within the fairing). It is hard wired to the dash power receptacle and has its own volume knob that can be remotely mounted to adjust its output. I got it on line for $65.00 U.S. shipping included from Gary at this site: www.electric-avenues.com/amplirider.html Delivery from Canada was 14 days. Install was super simple, just plug lines in - Works great and can't be beat at that price.

    Any time our children do something positive is a reflection on their upbringing............ You should be proud and crow about him & his accomplishments

    May have to consider either a Victory Vision or Cross Country or a Wing.

    Retired this past January after 25 years of service in N.J. Best move I ever made - gotta know when to move on..

    #^! Razor

    Sgtglenn replied to FROG MAN's topic in Watering Hole

    I was always a Norelco triple header shaver until I discovered the Shick Quattro blades. Close smooth shave without nicks or cuts. Blades are pricey but I've found good deals by bidding for blades in quantity on Ebay

    [ATTACH]43099[/ATTACH]Just installed the 19.5 inch F4 Customs windshield on my 99. Fit like they had bike for custom measurements, super fast delivery and service. No rain rides yet but wind blows completely over my head - no helmet buffeting. Attached couple pictures. So far very happy with this choice as replacement for the Clearview.

    I'd replace that tire right away - - much cheaper than a hospital stay!! I just replaced set of E3's got 20,000 miles out of the set Was happy with the miles and handling wet & dry. Only negative is they were a bit noisy. Based on earlier reviews here I decided to try out a set of Avon Venom's. After a few hundred miles, I'm impressed with how quiet they run and the dry road handling characteristics (no rain,yet). Now I have to keep a real close eye on those sidewalls during my weekly pressure checks. Just love rolling around the garage floor
