    I bought the Alumna Trailer from a forum member here and I proceeded to do the wiring after many posts read and a few pm's.... Changed the 5 pin round on the Alumna over to a 5 pin flat and same for RSV...Decided to do wiring at the tail light because of existing wiring under seat for the lightbar under the trunk (not a lot of room left)...Wired her up and everything work..... After a couple of days gone by I have my Bud over to show off my new toy....Turn the bike on...Start the bike....Reach under the fender near the hitch...grab the bike end of five pin connection and I happen to "touch" in the the bottom of the fender while reaching for the trailer end of the connection and ":puzzled:"...I blow the 15amp fuse for the lights....Replace the fuse and do this again ON PURPOSE and "same thing"....I replace the fuse....being more careful not to touch the bike end to anything and hook up the trailer and ALL IS WELL.... Question: Before I go into the rear light assembly and wire...What should I check first. I do not really want to go through everything again if I can avoid it.... TKS... Long Tall Lynchburg, VA:fingers crossed:

    Thanks to all for the input....Mine had been slightly bent before.....This time they bent WAY UP...Straight up...I took everything off the right side...replaced the bars and tried to straighten to what I thought was original position...did not work "twice"...Decision...get new bar and order supports.....Lesson learned here...NOTE: My local Yamaha Dealer matched the lowest price I could find on the web....NOT Bad... Thanks again for the input.... Long Tall Lynchburg, VA

    Do you take them off of the bike before you try to straighten them? How would you use a crowbar on them? Would like to save the $250 for a new one... Long Tall

    Anyone here try to straighten one of these out? Was doing some cleaning this PM and had the bike in a position that caused it to fall to the right (as I set on it)...Top of Bar is bent Upwards...Repair, Replace Thoughts please... Long Tall Lynchburg, VA

    I used the Risers from Barons....I'm 6'5" and they brought the bars back and up...The rubber spacers slid right in from the side..Been on since 2006..... NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT>>>>>Put a THICK cover over the tank when your doing the work...Enough said...Lesson Learned....Dent is about the size of a small piece of broken pencil lead, but will never go away....

    I can do this with my digital point and shoot canon SD 880...One of the setting on the camera.... Point at the color you want to have as the dominant color...hold the button down then press...Everything else is in B&W....Only that color is in the pic... Pretty cool effect, but don't use it much... Just an FYI for those with digital cameras...May want to explore its functions... Long Tall

    Ordered the grips at the below link. Anyone using these? Suppose to be able to use the OEM weights so that is why I ordered them...Wanted something other than the Kuryakyn Grips.... Here's the link to the grips page age Big Bike Parts.. The OEM weights will not slide into the grip ends...JUST a LITTLE to big... Also I assume that on the throttle side there is no need to open up the cable housing? Just remove grip like the left side.... Thoughts if any would be appreciated...

    Long Tall here in Lynchburg, VA.... I had a friend give me a Show Chrome and I installed on the RSV about three months ago.....6'5"...240lb....Wife started getting a lot of wind that she did not get with the stock shield...I even noticed some wind....I hated looking through the stock shield and when it rained it "sucked"....I got her a half face shield for her three snap helmet and she handles it OK now.....Mostly covers here eyes and down to her nose...It is not a full face cover...She likes to take a drink of water from her cup now and then. Like V7Goose I'll not go back to looking through the windshield.... I though about cutting the stock shield,but ended up with the Show Chrome...I MIGHT put the tall stock back on for winter riding...Not sure? Long Tall in Lynchburg, VA
