Not sure this is the right forum, but a friend of mine has a 87 Royal and wants to put fork boots on it, A number of years back, in the late 80s early 90s someone came up with the idea to put Rancho Shock boots on,, they worked great, BUT I have no idea what the number for them was, Anybody else remember that and do you know the number of them, Thanks,, DAve p.s. I no longer ride, but put a lot of miles on a 83 and 87 venture, some of the first rallies in Steamboat Springs and Kalispell, MT. with VTS

I am a MSF instructor and I need a waterproof boot that I can stand and walk in for eight hours. What do you recommend up to $150? I don't care if they are not motorcycle boots since most of the time I will be just wearing them on the range. tew47

Hello all: I have a '90 VR and noticed that the accordian-style fork tube cover boots have tears in them. Any suggestions in repairing these to keep dirt, etc. off the fork tubes and keep the boots looking good? Thanks for your help. Grayghost.

Damn I hate that. Haven't ridden the RSV for 4 weeks as it's either been to cold or too wet - or I've been too busy. Saturday did a 350kms round trip in the Subie to pick my son up from where he delivered his motorhome to the new owners. Sunday my wife and I drove 200kms in the other direction to deliver him to his fiancee, then we drove 200kms back home. Arrived around 2:30pm and the boss (wife) says, "Well, I'm going to do some more painting on the house, what are you going to do?" WHAT A QUESTION! I already had my jeans on and I was looking at my new bike boots in the corner. Quick as a flash I pulled the boots on, pulled on my vest and my jacket, went out to my bike shed and put on my helmet and gloves, put the key in the ignition of the RSV, turned her on - lights on and a brrrrrrrrrrrrrr of the fuel pump etc. Choke out, hit starter button. Cranked 3 or 4 times, THEN DIED. Ran out of crank, oomph and all the other things it needed to start. Been sitting too long. Off with the seat, off with the negative cable, on with the charger - and 4 hours later lots of power. But- it's now dark and too damned cold to do anything. So, I put it back together, went inside and had a couple of beers. Oh well, some other day maybe? Damn I hate that!

I bought a pair of Tour Master Venture Air Pants for summer riding. As some of you may remember I purchased a pair of Tour Master Caliber Pants [Read my review] last fall. Those were great pants and I love them, but they are not meant for above 70 degrees. I'll be wearing them again this fall. Now these Venture Air Pants are cool in the heat. I bought the largest waist size they make (4XL) to fit my girth and to fit over my normal clothes. The Armor-link Mesh shell with 1680 Denier Ballistic protective panels to protect knees and your backside make these pants feel like they will protect you if you happen to go "slab surfing". The soft padded hips are not even noticeable while riding. At that says a lot considering the size of my hips. They have hard knee armor for maximum protection and with Tour Masters adjustable height kneepad system they stay on your knees. However, for me the kneepads sit off the outside of my kneecaps while riding. I'm not sure why, I've tried twisting the pant legs to move the kneepads but that does not work. I'm not happy about the knee pad location. I'm not sure if this is normal or if I have a mis-sewn pair of pants. These pants do fit over my jeans, but they are a bit tight and that is mainly my fault. I just need to loose some weight. They also come with a two stage AquaTherm liner system. The first stage is a waterproof/windproof liner and the second stage is a thermal liner. Here's the deal with this system. The two liners nest inside of each other. To me they just add extra bulk that makes the pants harder to fit. If you need to protect your self in weather swings then I suppose these will be good. The liners only go down to about the top of your boots, which may leave your ankles a little unprotected in rain and cold. I personally think the two stage liners are cumbersome. The liners do not have side zippers so if you plan to use them you will need to take off your boots. That is a negative in my book. I don't plan on using the liners with these pants. The mesh shell itself has thigh length side zippers to allow you to put the pants on while your wearing your boots. If they would have made the zipper go two inches higher it would even be easy do put on the pants. As it is I have to sit down and wrestle my boots through the thigh openings. Maybe they think we all have small feet. My boots are only a size 10 wide. Overall the fit of the pants are comfortable. I gave them a workout over the weekend of 6/29/07-7/1/07. We rode from St. Paul to Chicago and back in two days with one day spent with family just south of the Windy City. The total miles were 1,100. 500 miles was ridden on the way down via US Highways and Byways. We stayed clear of the interstates for most of the trip south. The summer sun was beating down and the pants kept me cool and protected. When it got dark the reflective side piping and panels helped make us visible. For the trip back we took the interstate the whole way for the sole purpose of making the trip fast. Even while sitting for extend times at 70mph the Venture Air pants kept their cool and comfort. To be honest I tried to exchange the Venture Air Pants for a pair of First Gear HT Airs that I had tried on when I was deciding which pants to buy. The local cycle shop that I bought them from wouldn't let me since I had worn these pants. The HT Airs from First Gear have zipper side liners and larger opening to make putting them on easier, but lack hard knee protectors. I did find that the Tour Master knee protectors fit just fine in the First Gear HT Air pants. So, since I was denied the exchange I will keep the Venture Air Pants. I'll just have to get used to the cumbersome routine of putting them on to go riding. Pluses: Good protection, extra liners if you need them. Very comfortable and they keep you cool and protected. Minuses: Hard to put on over my boots and the liners require you to take off your boots which makes side of the road or rest stop liner changes very cumbersome. Overall rating 3 out of 5 stars.

What if a good way to waterproof leather boots, coats, gloves, etc.? I got my feet soaked a few weeks ago so I cleaned, repolished, then used some waterproofing product in a spraycan. I can't remember what brand right now. On my trip down to Diamond, MO. on Tuesday and Wednesday. I got stuck in the rain, sleet, and snow. My feet still got soaked. I have new gloves that kept my hands pretty dry and warm. My coat kept me warm and dry all the way. I found some stuff from KIWI called WET PRUF. I put it on my gloves and boots and will find out how it works on my way back to Cadott, WI. Well hopefully I won't have to find out if it works. I didn't think about Mink Oil till after the fact. How about Saddle Soap? I assume that's used to clean leather. Doe it waterproof at all? THNX, BILL

I have been using Motion Pro carb stick for several years and had no trouble syncing the carbs. The last two times I ha ve tried to sync the carbs I could not even get close. Today the mercury was sucked up into the carbs twice at idle. Have sprayed the carb boots with WD40 and it didn't make any difference in idle. Anyone have andy ideas. Also I replace all sparkplugs.

Yesterday I went and looked at a set of redwing riding boots number 968 and 970, both pairs were $249.99 Canadian. My wife and I have paid for a trip to Las Vegas for the Nascar race in march so I was wondering if anyone could help me out on a US price for the boots. I will be very near a redwing shoes on our trip there so I was wondering if I should wait or not. Any help would be great. Thanks
