Hello everyone, I'm looking to install a tank Tux bib or Tie. Does anyone know where I can get a nice one? Does it rub the paint finish on the tank? Also, is it difficult to install? Thanks for you help. I'm riding with the 1700 bikes this week for the moving veterans wall in Beaver Pa and I would like to have it by then!

Hey guys... I bought my bike on ebay and I'm going to pick it up in 2 weeks... wondering about 12v DC "cigarette" ports... Does my bike have any or will I need to install for my GPS to get juice? Sorry about the silly Q, I haven't even seen the bike in real life yet!!! -
Does anyone know where I could pick up a '90-93 rear shock suspension w/ grease fittings already in it? I'm not real comfortable about drilling into my 89 to do the install!

Just got this email from Trimster. If anybody is in that area and can lend a hand, I'm sure he would appreciate it. I need some help if I could. I am in crisis mode and need some help on the road. I'm south of San Antonio, Tx with a blown rear shock on my RSV. I need to be back on the road Sunday headed home to Salt Lake City. Being as I can not post to the list, could you post something for me to the 2nd generation tech talk area? I need help with locating a shock and someplace to install it (I'm in an RV park with no tools, etc.).... or I need advice on a dealer to go to in this area. Your help is greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at 8zero1-44zero-eight 721 Big thanks Bob & Lisa Trim

Bongobob...YOU DA MAN...Sorry becky it took so long getting Bobby home, you must be starved by now....

I've had a Clarion CD player in the box for almost a year. I've heard good thinks and bad things about having a CD player in the trunk or side bag. It looks like a pain in the butt to install and i'm wondering if I should just do the I-pod thing throught the tape deck and be done with it. Does anyone use a CD player and if so is it worth the labor to install it? I want to avoid tearing half the bike apart only to have this thing skip all the time. I'd rather sell it while its still in the box and wrapped up nice. Thanks for your thoughts Frank

I want to install a set of Nasty Boys 4-2-4's on my 06 RSTD but would like to hear them first , is there anyone who has an audio clip that I could hear

Hello all, I'm in the process of documenting the install in a PDF document but here are the final pix for the installation. Based on GeorgeS' comments and feedback from the vendor I may revise the final wiring but all of the wiring is soldered and shrink wrapped at all connectors (including the 1/8" audio connectors) and run through the stock wiring locations. Due to the fact that there is very limited space I mounted the amp under the right side of the gas tank. All of the cabling is hidden as much as possible (or at least blended) with the speakers inside the windscreen on the bars. Once mounted the system works and sounds great, I'm very happy with it so far.

My '83 Royale did not come with a CB and/or intercom but I would like to add one. I have a OEM working radio without headset jack. What would I need to install this on my bike? Does anyone have this and want to part with it? Thanks!

I will be "attempting" to install new progessives tomorrow. I have never done this job but it doesn't appear to be that difficult. I've thought that before about other mods I started and what should had been easy turned out to be much more involved than I initially thought. Been burnt many times. But still this seems to be a fairly straight forward job. So, I ask, once I remove the fork caps, otherthan the old springs, what else is removed and "not" reused? Also, in addition to the new springs and the PVC looking spacer, what else should I install and/or replace? I am building that "monster" tool as recommended by Condor; a piece of 17mm Hex key soldered in a 17mm 6 pt socket. Hopefully, all goes well. -
I purchased a set of floorboards with the heel toe shifter and brake pedal for my 88 VR and they arrived today. Now I am in a quandry as to how to install them. I am sure that all of the parts are here but I don't have a clue as to where to start. Does anyone have these floorboards installed on their bike and would be willing to sned me pictures of the finished install so I can get them on? Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Marvin BTW these came off of an 89 VR and I purchased them from a member here on this site.....got a sweet deal

I recently picked up another parts bike that has Chrome Air Intake Grills.(please see attached pic) Does anyone know of a way to install these grills on a Venture Royale WITHOUT taking the Fairing off the bike? I would love to have these grills on my 87'VR but am not looking forward to taking both halves of the fairing off to install them! Please Help!! Earl -
I just finished installing my Baron Tach on my 03 but I went a different route. After trying a minifaced tach, I wasn't too pleased with the looks plus it was so small, I had a hard time seeing it. This one was meant to install on a 1 in. handlebar but it also didn't fit right on the RSV because of limited space so I bought a Ram Mount # RAM-B-346CU which has a 1 in. ball to attach different accessories. I have all kinds of up, down, right and left adjustment. The face can be programmed with different colors and the green matches the speedo color pretty close. Check out the pix and let me know what you think. Brian

Greetins all, I got up to take our dog out at 5:00 AM today and I thought I overslept clear through to November! We had a bit better than 1/2" of snow on our deck. This past Thursday we had record temps, 90 degrees F. Oh, well, guess I will install the mufflers I bought from AtlantaDragonSlayer. It is still just 34 F outside. I HATE WEATHER!!!!!!! Dave

Just sittin' at work thinking about weekend bike plans (and work too of course)...I've got a mudflap to install on my 06RSV. Just wondering if I can remove the front fender completely simply by removing the 4 bolts, without removing the tire. Can I get the fender out by doing that? It'd be a lot easier to drill holes & install the flap while it's sitting on the workbench! Thanks in advance for the info...now I'll get back to work! JR

Could someone point me to a thread discussing the installation of these pipes? It seems like a read one once but now i cant find it. Thanks -
I bought a pair of the Diamond R swinging pegs for my passenger. To install, the rear floorboard bolt needs to be removed. The left side one was very tight, but it came out. The right side one is beyond tight. I was using the bike toolkit since I wanted to install them at lunch and surprise her after work. The L-shaped "allen wrench" didn't move it, so I used the tube to make a breaker bar. No joy. I don't want to damage the bolt, so I stopped. Is the bolt really that tight? Should I use penetrating oil? Ideas? Dave

I just bought two sets of J&M elite full-face headsets. I was going to send the to J&M to have them install them in our Shoei RF1000 helmets. Then I came across this link at Edsets web site http://picasaweb.google.com/edsetsdude/2008ShoeiRF1000. I just followed the steps and went slow. It wasn't hard but it was time consuming. The only thing I did different than what the Edset page did was I off set the mics to the left side, that's the way J&M suggests. They sound great in the garage. We didn't have time to road test them today.

After watching the install of the Stebel Compact Air Horn on JBurrell's bike this past weekend at the SE TX Maintenance Day, I decided to take the plunge and do it. I have been looking for an auxiliary fuse block to put under the seat, and that took me to Harbor Freight last night. No fuse box, but I did pick up a box of connectors and shrink wrap marked at $4.99 each. At the checkout, the total rang up to $15+. Turns out that they had marked a sale last night that begins today (3/27)! W00t! So head to Harbor Freight and pick up some goodies for those electrical projects you are planning. The shrink wrap assortment is particularly cool. Yes, I did install the airhorn. LOUD! I took my time, did it right, and there is plenty of amperage available. BTW, I used the CARBON_ONE bracket, and it worked great. No, I haven't found a fuse box at HF, Auto Zone, or Academy (where Ponch suggested). Suggestions for that are appreciated.

Hello everyone, Well the weather is finally breaking and we are getting our bikes ready for some summer riding fun. This year i was looking to install a pair of top saddle bag rails on the Venture, but I don't know where to purchase them! Would someone please direct me to a sight I could purchase from. My wife bought a pair from e-bay, but they must be for a Tour Delux cause they don't line up, or maybe i just don't know how to install them. Any information would be a big help! Thanks and have a safe summer!

I am trying to install a Yamaha CB on an 83 Venture Royale. I have the CB and the wire that goes to the amp, but I need the wiring to plug into the CB to battery. I also need the wiring to install the radio controller. I have the controller. I also need the mic. Can anyone direct me to someone who might have these missing parts for installing the CB? I can't find them on EBay. Thank you. Mixon
