She's dubbed it "Pumpkin" but I think Punk'N is better.

I would think an industrial quality contact cement would work. The trick to using that stuff is to smear it on liberally on both surfaces, let it dry to the touch, and then put the two materials together VERY CAREFULLY aligning them. If the plastic is glossy smooth, rough it up some with sandpaper.

oooooooooooooooooooooo ...... them thar are dangerous words! :eek:

Not sure exactly how many I put on this year but I'd say it's about the same as each of the past 2 years and that averages out to appx 14,400 Km's /yr

Around here, Seafoam can be found in many automotive parts supply shops as well as marine shops. -

DITTO on what Goose and BuddyRich say ... since it is an '06 with that few miles, it probably needs a good "cleanout". Seafoam ... http://www.seafoamsales.com/ http://www.seafoamsales.com/motor-treatment.html -
When the RSMV sells, I will have spent no more than $14,000 since 3 years ago (not counting bling).

Was the V-star fuel injected? If you're choking the RSV to start it, why are you cracking the throttle? When I start mine, I pull the choke out all the way, crank it over until it starts and once the rpm's have built up, I push the choke back in to a point where it keeps the engine running at just above idle... when it's warmed up a bit, then I push the choke all the way in... but, I NEVER crack the throttle ... I see no real reason for doing that. -
ahhh yes.... those danged "priorities" .... frozen pizza for dinner tonght by the sounds of it... hey... it's not so bad... they make some pretty good ones nowadays!

so... why not install a virtual box Linux within Windows... then you'd not have to reboot whenever you wanted to look up your recipes (Linux would be sitting there, "alive" and waiting) We run Windows Virtual PC on some of our Windows 7 workstations at work so that we can run Windows XP within because one of our "supplied" Internet apps will not run in Windows 7 but we need immediate and seamless access to it all day long.

Now there's an offer I wouldn't refuse! :thumbsup2:

That's because by that time it's cost you so damn much that you can't afford to "go back" ... :stickpoke: :stirthepot:

Ubuntu can be found here... http://www.ubuntu.com/ And pretty much all the info you need is available there.

Thanks. That tells me what the recalls are but not what warranty work has been done on a specific bike VIN, which is what I'm looking for.

yep, get yourself a new HD (does the PC work with SATA drives?) and install Ubuntu. You'll have to download it and burn the ISO to a CD to install it or, you can load Windows onto the HD and install Ubuntu as a "dual boot".

Just curious, How many Wing Riders do we have on the site?
SilvrT replied to Midrsv's topic in Honda Goldwing Tech Talk
Well, I was about to buy a 2001 Valk Interstate. It was in Regina, SK (appx 2-3 day ride from here) but the guy had another interested party ahead of me who decided to buy it. I would have loved to have had that bike but I think I will really like the one I got. Here's a pic of the Valk (only 61,000 Km's and origial owner) -
Hey scotty .. well, if you're old enuf then I must be too LOL As for Nina ... she's a woman ... never reveals her "true" age, but that fake grey hair does fool a lot of people

There are several "flavours" of Linux out there ... all free. Ubuntu is quite popular. Easy to install, lots of free software. I've "played" with Linux for several years and have been running it on one of my network servers at work for 3 years. Solid as a rock!

Thanks Dennis! The first "mod" I will be doing is to get a back rest. I put one on my RSMV this past summer. Was the first time I'd ever had one and the difference in the comfort level was night and day ... ... and now the "modding" starts! LOL -
Apparently there is a site where a guy can enter the VIN of his GL and it will provide info about warranty and or recall work done to the bike..yes/no?? Anyone have a link to this?

My "new to me" '03 Wing has Cobra mufflers on it. Just wondering what others are running and what ya'll think about them?
