Cleaning all that dust/dirt from under the seat/fairings etc.
SilvrT replied to Midnight's topic in General Tech Talk
1. A few dry rags 2. A wet rag 3. Elbow grease -
I ordered 2 boxes of the Acryline product ... took about a week to arrive. Basically the same as the Sea-Bond but the powder doesn't come in a mixing cup and the mixing stick is wood rather than nylon. Also noticed it sets up quicker so ya got to get it poured into your denture sooner after mixing. A little "tip" for anyone using this or similar product ... clean your denture thoroughly and then use a small paintbrush and paint the outer surface and the teeth with butter. Doesn't take much. This prevents any "overflow" of the denturite from sticking and makes it easier to trim off.

I am also not a big fan of NHL hockey. WHL sometimes. But these Olympic games I could not miss, especially the last 3 ... exceptional to say the least. And the partying downtown.... it was crazy but the best thing is that I haven't heard a single thing about anyone or any groups getting unruly, nor have I heard of any issues related to security breaches ... it appears to have been a very well-behaved Olympics. Wife's daughters are both bartenders in a club right on the Granville St strip where most of the partying was happening. On a normal busy Saturday night they would do 8-10 grand in business with the girls netting 150-250 in tips ... Last night the club did 25 grand in business and the tips were in excess of $700. Amazing!

I watched the entire game along with some of our family. It was definately a "nail biter" of a game! The USA goalie was nothing short of amazing IMHO and Silver is nothing to pout over.

Barry... Good to hear that your "noise" is almost gone. So has mine. Are you coming to Kruis'n The Kootenays ?
-
Thought I'd give this a "bump" since there's been no feedback as yet....

OK, dumb question here ... how do these things tie into the bike's audio system? I wanna be able to hear my Sirius system which runs thru the Aux audio. And what about the built-in CB system?

really??... and I thought they were for those times you needed the effects of a "vibrator chair" ...

Yup... happened to me on the scoot last summer ... you may recall I posted my "near miss". Thought I was gonna become a ghost that day.

Which ones have YOU been guilty of?? http://autos.ca.msn.com/editors-picks/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=23520919 Note #5 and #10

I'm still on the stock D404 on the rear and have over 12,000 miles and there's still lot's of tread. Havin a hard time understanding how some folks get such poor mileage. We ride 2-up almost all the time. Been running 42-46 lbs air. Having said that tho, the front was replaced already. I went to a 130/90 running 36 lbs on the front and found that with 44-46 lbs in the rear it felt like I was running on a flat sometimes... dropped that to 42 and made a world of difference. Beautiful handling now. Tossin around the idea of a Khumo for the rear...also maybe a 170/80 (instead of a 150) bike tire.

Here is a location for sound clips ... http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/?action=article&cat_id=002009&id=285

Glenn, have you done a search on this site for Road King? There's ton's of info. To answer your question, they are a "slip on" fit. You will need a bracket for the rear mount and I'd recommend getting the V-Twin clamps. Info on all of this is in several places on the site. Yes, they do sound better IMHO. I have them and I've drilled out the baffles and I really love the sound and total cost to me was under $100 CAN.

It would be no more difficult than changing to Road King mufflers and that is a breeze.

Yep... and it's been there since 2008 LOL

Port Moody & Langley I'll probably wind up getting a Clearview but since I was "poking around" bike shops, thought I'd pop the question while there ... had a feeling I wouldn't have much luck LOL On another note Celt... how's the "abstaining" going and what about that guitar stuff eh? I've been slowly getting better... got myself to a point where I can strum out a bit of a tune and change chords D, E, A without lookin at my fingers LOL ... been working on "Brown eyed Girl" ... just the strumming part recently. http://www.learn-acoustic-guitar.com/brown-eyed-girl-by-van-morrisson still struggling with the chords on that one tho but it's comming. Also been messin around with Wild Thing ... http://www.learn-acoustic-guitar.com/wild-thing-as-performed-by-the-troggs

Thought I'd drop into a couple of our local Yamaha shops and see what was available for windshields (other than stock). Like a wider one and maybe a bit shorter than stock. So, I asked the question.. "What options do you offer for windshields for a Royal Star Venture?" First dealer: "We have a few different ones but you also have to buy the mounting hardware." Me: "What mounting hardware? The windshield bolts to the existing fairing bracket." First dealer: "For what kind of bike is it?" Me: "A 2006 Royal Star Venture" First dealer: "Let me look" ... she goes through a couple catalogues muttering about the brackets and then says "We don't list anything for 2006, only 1996 thru 2001 for a Royal Star" Me: " I said Royal Star Venture.... they are made from 1999 thru 2010 and are all the same" First dealer: "Well, I don't list anything and you'll still probably have to buy the mounting kit" Me: "Forget it!" and I walked out. Second Dealer: (I asked the same question but spoke with a sales rep) "Yamaha sells one. I'll get a printout for you" He comes back and sure enuf, it's a shorter, wider one... to the tune of $288. Me: "What about non-Yamaha ones...??" Second Dealer: "I don't think anyone makes them ... and if they did, the quality just wouldn't be there." Me: "OK, thanks" ... and I leave. geeeeeesh! What the heck is the matter with these people around here... they just don't cater to the "touring rider" by offering much of anything in the way of accessories for the RSV, let alone knowing much about them it seems. I remember several years ago when I had my '85 Venture I had to go to a Kawasaki shop to get a new "non-Yamaha" windshield and a pair of Jardine mufflers coz the local Yammi dealer "couldn't get them".... it must be that Yamaha is very restrictive as to what their dealers can / can not sell.

Don't count on it... it seems to have worked for some but not all and it certainly didn't work for me. Only after I changed to the "I" basket did my whine "go away". Then again, that doesn't work for all either.
