That video...lmfao!!!

I couldn't leave the throttle alone. Something bad was bound to happen so I sold it. Just way to easy to twist that wrist.

I like Liquid Glass wax. I use it on my auto windshields as well. Makes rain roll right off and bugs clean off a lot easier.

I gotta get me some of those. SWEET!!!

Seems like I have read quite a bit about transmission problems. If I recall it involves losing 2nd gear. Do a search on GW trans issues, it will pop up.

I like to think this poem has some truth to it. Who knows Gods plan. https://rainbowsbridge.com/poem.htm

Not as fun as you might think. After a while it starts getting on my nerves. Just ride and enjoy!!

Not very many that deserve to be alive!!

Happy anniversary!! Mine will be 28 years next Saturday. These poor women put up with a lot from us. That Gypsum plant you mentioned sounds like Abitibi. They made drywall. My Dad used to deliver anhydrous ammonia to them years back.

No adjustment. It's the factory RSTD windshield setup. I was hoping a fairing with the deflectors on the bottom edge would push the air down and out enough to get the air past me.

The Venture I had was a lot better in this regard. I'm just nervous about dropping a grand into it for nothing. Thanks for the replies.

Yes I have the lowers under the windshield. The air comes around those and comes up around the gas tank and hits me right in the chin and up my face. Was hoping someone with a fairing could tell that it would help with that situation.

This is to anyone with a fairing on a RSTD. I'm trying to stop the wind that comes up from around the lower windshield area and gives me bobblehead from below. At least once every ride I get a bug behind my sunglasses from below. I have knee blockers which worked pretty good on the Venture I had but not so good on the RSTD. To much wind coming up from around the gas tank area. Will a fairing from WOC or Reckless cut that wind down? Thanks, Scott

Same here. I used to flat foot it very easy. Now tippy toes. You kind of have to get used to sliding forward a little at stops. It's worth it for me and the long distance comfort I get out of it. Feels a little weird at first but I think you will get used to the feel.

She has a great sound. Really enjoyed the video.

I usually use Yamaha Sports Plaza for factory stuff. Good prices. For other things I use Phat Performance quite a bit. Very fast shipping and packed well.

Looks a lot more comfortable. I don't like the wrist twist either. The Venture is much better in that respect.

After the first few hundred miles it gets even better. Definitely not a waste of money. You bought the best.

You really can't get a low rumble out of these bikes. These motors just don't produce the same kind of sound a big v-twin does but it can be improved on over stock.

I'm a member of a Star Riding chapter and went to last years Star Days at Harrisburg, Pa. I never ran into any attitude at all among the members. You must have run into "that guy". There is one in every group. Not worth your time.

I think pulling the front tire is probably a good idea. The axle binding is a real possibility. I had that on the rear of a Venture I owned. The previous owner didn't understand the concept and that bike was dangerous in corners. This bike acts weird in corners and it is coming from the front. Thanks Puc. I hadn't thought of that.

I have put it against a wall and it still does it. It is even clicking just by turning the wheel back and forth. When I put my ear down by the left fork it sounds like it's inside the fork. Hard to tell with all the chrome covering it. Leaving Thursday morning for a few days around Mackinaw so I'm hoping it's nothing dangerous.

It's a possibility. It sure has gotten loud. Thanks

I have a 2009 RSTD. I've got 5000 miles on it and have always had this rattling noise from the front end. I noticed today that it clicks when the front forks are depressed. Seems to be the source of what I thought was a rattle. If I lock the front brake and pump the front end it clicks and as near as I can tell it is coming from the fork. I have tightened the steering head bearings this spring and have no play when I put it on a jack and pull on forks. I can however make the clicking noise by pushing and pulling on the forks (quite hard) and it seems to be coming from the left fork. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott
