Steering is power assisted but it still takes more input than a Venture, normally wouldn't be an issue but if your arms or shoulders have a weakening effect the difference will be noticed.

I really thought the steering is power assisted, but I may be wrong.

My wife had one for about 3 years and there was nothing wrong with it. Never any issues. she stopped riding out of fear (and weak shoulders). She had a close call on a ride that scared her pretty bad. The spyders do take a lot more shoulder input than a bike or trike.

I was thinking about getting a Spyder but y'all are scarin' me a bit.

I managed to break the screw in part half way up the cb antenna. I can find new antenna's for almost $300, but don't need that. I would be happy with a used part. I do use my cb a bit when riding in groups, so would like to get it working again. Anyone have one or know of one somewhere?

1983 VR shift linkage alignment
Jim Horton replied to Jim Horton's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Sorry for not responding this past week, its been kinda crazy for me. I plan to get back to the bike tomorrow, and see if I can get this thing lined up. I am trying to get it into neutral so I can roll it in and out of the garage without disconnecting the final drive. -

Glad you made it out safely out of the rain and mud. Great experience like on the RSV is priceless. Thanks for sharing.

I checked eBay and found several sets of Venture handlebars. I used 2 inch Riser extensions to get mine to set back farther. That may be an option for you if you can find a set of Flanders.

I'm sorry to hear about you laying the bike down but glad you are alright. This is why we should post things it is like a record of what we have done to the bike.
