Scooter Bob Posted December 31, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 31, 2010 You could get a Utopia Backrest... http://www.utpr.com/rsv.html Just my , Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2010 Share #3 Posted December 31, 2010 200 bucks aint much. It would really depend on what you need the most. Chrome? Lighting? Mufflers? For a little over 200 bucks I would say a Clearview windshield with a vent. Or a set of Kury highway pegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Bob Posted December 31, 2010 Share #6 Posted December 31, 2010 add a zero to the amount and ask again... That extra zero might be enough for a downpayment on that third wheel, hey Bob:mo money: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken8143 Posted December 31, 2010 Share #7 Posted December 31, 2010 Stebel air horns! Triple set. Front, middle, and back. Wuup-wuup sireen. Voice activated horn button so when I need to swear all heck breaks loose. That is my heart's desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 31, 2010 Share #8 Posted December 31, 2010 Well...I don't know if this is a general question or if you are asking specifically about what to add to your bike. I see that you ride a '99 and I don't know what you already have on it. If I was starting with a clean slate on a completely stock bike though, my first two recommendations would be.... Drivers backrest Kuryakyn highway pegs. After that...there are a ton of things but those are the two most important in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted December 31, 2010 Share #16 Posted December 31, 2010 I would put it either towards a backrest or trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share #17 Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Well most of what was mentioned I have already. I can say when I bought it, it was already nicely dressed. Brake Pad, sumthin' just ain't right about that statement. LOL Utopia Backrest - Got a backrest although not sure if it is Utopia. Does have an option for a pocket in the back? Clearview windshield with a vent - check Kury highway pegs - got grips, not pegs. If I remember right Kury just has the shift pegs. I am waiting for them to also have the matching brake pad. heated gloves or a jacket - There's an idea too. Stebel air horns - check-although needs replaced. Been thinking about doing Fiam horns in the fairing. Voice activated horn button - hmmmm. :-) ice cream - Bingo!!! (harbor freight) trailer - check My Baron's tach went out this year, thought about replacing it and then doing Ponch's gauge set. Been thinking about front/back LED turn signals from custom dynamics but hoping at some point they will do a free shipping promo. Got a card from STAR about order $350 in accessories or apparrel (doesn't apply to parts) and get $100 off. I could dish out the extra $50 but I looked at the catalog and nothing really jumps out at me that I would want. Too bad they don't make those air cleaner covers anymore. I probably would have gone for those. How much does it cost for one of those VMAX baskets? Edited December 31, 2010 by Sideoftheroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted December 31, 2010 Share #18 Posted December 31, 2010 Funny you should mention the Star card, I spent $359 on Safety Chrome today!! I'm running out of OEM accessories to buy, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted December 31, 2010 Share #20 Posted December 31, 2010 No, it has to be a STAR accessory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycatt Posted December 31, 2010 Share #21 Posted December 31, 2010 New fork springs/seals/slider bushings/oil/etc to freshen up the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted January 1, 2011 Share #22 Posted January 1, 2011 CD Changer for the saddle bag, at least it will help pay the taxes on it..LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share #23 Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Bob, what safety chrome did you buy? PB&J, I have thought about a kevlar jacket straycat, like progressive fork springs? Brake Pad, I have the cd changer. I took it out after about a month. I got tired of all the skipping. Someone said you can adjust the buffer but I couldn`t figure it out so I gave up. Do you know if it can be adjusted?

straycatt Posted January 1, 2011 Share #24 Posted January 1, 2011 Progressive, Sonic, Race Tech, take your pick. You can completely freshen up and improve the front end of an RSV for less than $200. (assuming, of course, that you already have the tools/jack/adapter/know how to do it yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
