I bought a 2005 RSTD to leave in Mesa AZ and need the carbs gone through and sync'd. Any recomendations on getting this done by someone experienced and reasonable in the Mesa/Apache Junction area? I'm not really set up to work on it down here. Thanks

It's been awesome having this site for knowledge base and support! My 2004 is holding up very well and should last a long time thanks to this site! 😎

Thanks for the input, yes installing a screw/bolt may work but I'll have to see if there is enough clearance to allow the latch to work if I have to use a nut to secure the screw/bolt.

I removed the trunk on my 2004 RSV and purchased a 2005 RSTD quick release backrest on e-bay. I went to look at a RSTD to see what I would need to make it work. The rubber mounts and bolts shouldn't be any problem but there is a welded pin on the RSTD mount that secures the backrest. Has anyone been able to make this work in the past or is there a bracket(even if I have to bolt on and off) that will allow me to use the passenger backrest on my RSV? Thanks...

Hey everybody.... I'm going for that "V8 rumble sound" for my 04 RSV and not leaning to the 4-2-4 slip ons. (Very cool sound though) I could use some current feedback (some of the posts are a little outdated) I need to let my Harley/custom buddies know when I pass them not sound like a "sewing machine"...LOL I'm getting torn between: Baron Bag Slash Pipes cool sound sample (Mounts were altered to raise the pipes closer to the bags for improved ground clearance, incase I ever lowered I'm 5'6) KHROME WERKS Slip-on’s (some posts complained about tips flaking?) Bub Sleeper (does anybody know if black tips can work on these? I've seen them on other non-metric bikes and look sharp) LA Choppers OVAL BAG SLASH PIPES I've seen no response on these yet. Nice look and black tips are sharp. The costs are close enough for me to consider any of them. Baron's has 3 of these models http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/category/20/index.html Thanks...

I’m removing the trunk and mount on my 2004 RSV and stumbled on a few threads in the past on options. For now I’m leaning on getting a RSTD backrest and was wondering if someone put together a complete list of parts and or can point me to a dealer that can get me setup at a reasonable price.

I'm going to order the hide a hitch from the diamond r site and their leveling kit.

"Venturedad" vs. "Vertical Hide a Hitch by Cheyenne Trailers" on the diamond r website. Has anybody installed the hidden hitch and how hard is the stinger to remove?
