thanks to all replies..looked at more this past week and bought an 03 with 156000 kms...blue with tan leather loaded.safetied..new brakes tires tie rods bushings etc..nice clean car...hope my wife will be happy

leaning more towards 2005+...like looks a little better..more retro

Around here there is an outfit called CHATS..community home assistance to seniors....my neighbour does snow removal for about 24 seniors thruogh a govt type pay ..sort of like united way...here its based for those that are independent but cant do heavy stuff like snow, grass cutting ,handyman ...cant hurt to ask

thanks for viewpoints...looked at a couple already..why dont people take care of cars like we do with our rsv.

just a little over 16000 miles..08 rsv is in miles...try to ride every day plus most weekends

Thinking about buying for my wife a 2000-2005 mustang convertible v6 auto for our 40th wedding anniversary...Any thoughts or warnings about one of theses. She had a 1986 stang that she loved but was terrible in the winter (was daily driver)..this will be fun car to enjoy when shes not on the bike with me thanks

update...tell td that if you belong to a recognized group ..university grad, union, etc there is a drop down list on their web site...you will be put under a different branch ..meloche monex..member of group i ride with had policy go from $942 to $722 but original increase wasto go to $1220... bundle insurance if you can without penalty..this is in ontario..

i just heard that td motorcycle and autoinsurance has now changed to td general...maybe higher rates to pay for new offices and paperclips..lol

go to td insurance online and do a new quote as if never been there..i did this last year ,rate was lower called td and told them , guess what they matched their own rate!!!!..mines due in march will see if goes up..

minden or kilworthy area has great roads and both are close to towns..gravenhurst bracebridge haliburton huntsville etc.might be able to help plan riding routes.never been to a venture m&g..

been watching this...would haileybury be booked due to new lisleard bikers reunion?

there the ones i used..chrome master cylinder 14 mm

roadstar calipers and master cylinder will work as well

today had 35.1 miles filled up 18.8 litres..left 3 litres in tank..dont know math to convert

try this at ...parts express.com..item number66-2286.. blue led rocker switch

your are your own re splicing..factory says wire to high beam...but i say wire direct to relay and switch it on when you want..i wired mine to kuryakyn master cylinder 3 switch that runs hid,passing lamp,and daytime leds..just my $.02.

i dont know about various states laws , but in ontario it is against the law to not have safety chains on any trailer being towed.. the DOT patrol cars will ticket/ impound unsafe trailers and vehicles..I tow a work trailer 3 days a week 24' enclsed and 22' flatdeck picking up motorcycles and i agree i do not want to injure anyone..if you dont want to ride safe ..stay home

185 miles today before reserve came on with two bars left....265 mi to complete empty once to check..mixture riding types

agree with this..just repacked swingarm bearings at 35 000 mi...also had a undetermined noise from rear so replaced wheel bearings one is sealed one a roller type..also seals..follow tech section or service manual...worth the time ...parts are reasonable$$$..no speicial tools

dont think so mounts look like radial style..they have to be same style as rsv.

i upgraded mine with 2007 roadstar calipers...along with the 14mm master cylinder..it was an easy swap...remove all rsv calipers bolt on roadstar bleed...pads are different...i searched for r 1 r6 calipers but found roadstar was just the same ..four piston...found mine on fleabay..think around $200 ...included m/c....there was a member selling them .

on the front around the triple tree ..slide strap under fairing behind wind deflector...rear tie at rear crash bars ...maybe through wheel as well..i work for dealer moving bikes ..this works for me..never lost one...do not put on handle bars as they are a weak link...use good ratchet straps not HF type...ones with loops at one end...i leave bike just resting on side stand as well not pulled down tight..and in gear..get a wheel chock ..makes it easier...my 2 cents

if your windshield is the correct height for YOU where the middle of your nose is at top of windshield and you can see over it..fogging and rain wont bother you..+1 on clearview with vent med size

on my second set...no problems..run pressure as by metzlers web site...at least +4 lbs...got mine from petes superbike in montreal ..best price around shipped in 2 days...12000 kms on this set

my wife and i are on our second set..hi vis green jacket...always dry..have tourmaster with rain liner if just drizzle...get the bib pants if you can buy them seperate...no rain creep
