Hi All, I am new to the group. I have a early 90's vintage Vanguard. I have been doing the repairs myself. But where can I get a steering rod? I hit a small...
I've put a few photos into an album here, to help kick things off. There are more photos of the bike at http://ttt.esperanto.org/person/HARRIS_Dacxjo/bemi/ Can...
I received a "page not found" error when I tried your link. I have an early nineties Vanguard as well. The early ones did not have serial numbers, and mine...
All the pictures I just added where taken today, except the one with Dick Ryan. Yes mine doesn't have a serial number either. Thanks for posting those other...
All, After surfing all over to find a good way to mount a headlight, I stumbled upon Terracycle. They have a universal mount that clamps onto any size tubing...
Well my horn hook was broken/fatigued when I bought the bike last winter, but the seller didn't tell me of course and I didn't know to look, then when I broke...
Well after recently tinkering with my Ryan Vanguard's extra chain pulley and somewhat loose steering, I think I am gonna sell the bike. Not because of those...
Good source, John. Thanks for this information...!! Another option I've seen used is a short section of PVC (plumbing) type tubing (thick-walled, heavy-duty...

Folks, Yet another variant on the computer/light mounting setups I've seen mentioned of late is my own. I got a cheap stem discarded from a kid's mountain...
Leo posted some photos of his water bottle mounts on the RyanOwners site, but I can't find his e-mail address. Does anyone have it? Thanks, Keith Nichols...
The Vanguard I bought from Longbikes in 1999 already had a little T-bar handlebar for mounting lights, though my previous Vanguard did not. I thought that was...

Does it have invasion stripes, or could it be mistaken for a wehrmacht machinen ? "junkme2" <junkme2@hotmail .com>...

I've no idea what a full fairing should cost---I wasn't even aware that a full fairing was available for Vanguards. Custom items are worth what people are...

Are pictures available to see with fairing? ________________________________ From: ryanownersclub@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ryanownersclub@yahoogroups.com] On...
Thanks Kevin; That gives me a pretty good feel for the bike's worth. It does indeed include a full fairing from ZZIP Fairings. At the time I think it cost me ...
I though ZZIP only made a front fairing for the Vanguard. I wasn't aware that they had a full fairing. How do you get in and out? What does the rear fairing...

Sorry for my mis-speaking. My fairing is just the front..I thought Zzip called that a full but perhaps they just call it a full front fairing. STeve ... ...
That's about right... Nobody's declared them 'classic' and 'collectible' yet, though. If that happens, their value will go up, not down. Kevin Karplus ...

Nice to make this switch...and thanks to everyone who thought of it, and set it up for us. Can we get a full listing of who's out there, and how many of us own...
The wife and I were just out at Longbikes, more then likely saw your bike getting built. We will have our frame back Friday, going to the T-bucket nationals on...
