My wife has an '08 Saturn Sky Redline and my daughters dogs collar snagged the bottom of the lower fiberglass fender and broke the bottom off! This guy in Vincent, Al has a nice fender for it but won't ship it. I was hoping someone may be close by that could pick it up and send it to me. I'd be more that happy to to compensate for time and trouble if anyone could help us.

What's your plan, tell us more

There's a guy in Vincent alabama that has a car part I need but he won't ship it, I'm 5 hours from him! Any VR members close to there?

I have the same issue, 4 motorcycles in total now

Anybody else need a new old bike? Need to clear some out. 🤣🤣🤣

Very nice. Great bikes

My second motorcycle was a 73 CB750 with an orange metalflake tank bought in February, 1973. It was used with about 800 miles on it and paid $1150. A new one cost $1450 in the winter. What a smooth great bike after learning how to ride on my vibrating 71 CB350. Now my run around town bike is a 1985 Kawasaki ZN700.

Orlin posted a ride and get together for june 26t and 27th up in Wisconsin. looks like several riders are going to show up.check out his post.

Robin and ! are going to give this some thought. will let you know

Nice. Had one of those for a short time several years ago.

Nice one Freebird! Here is my latest acquisition. 77 750 Hondamatic. Carb work in progress. Brake work is next.

Ran across this old ‘71 Honda CL450 last night online. Went to look at it and bought it today. It needs significant TLC but I think it can be a nice bike. Not sure how far I will go with it. Maybe just far enough to resell it and make a few bucks. Sure brings back some memories though.

I sent him a text that you’re trying to reach him.

Yes to both

Still a go on our part, talked with some other Venture Riders that are not on the site any more sounds like a couple of them are coming. Sure am looking forward to seeing you all.

Last I heard he was. Did you try PMing him or replying on his sell page?

I did try that but could not get it to work, may have been because it just had 2 gallons of gas in it. I drained the tank because the gas was so old.

removed the cover and I could open them with no problem, ordered him one with a new filter from ebay

https://www.venturerider.org/forum/forums/topic/58615-what-did-you-do-to-your-venture-today/page/58/#findComment-819668 Check this out. I've driven just over 1300 miles since removing the fuel pump from my 2001 RSV. No issues.

Points stuck?

Finally found connector for Stator and I think I did it right except haven't tried test with bike running as I have to wait until Phantom can run throttle for me! Followed @Freebirds updated file on this took me a while to find the right plug to disconnect to do test. Checked for Stator coil resistance 1-2, 1-3, 2-3 and it showed .3ohms(used the 200ohm setting on lower right) Did next test on higher Ohms setting(kept it on 200 as instructions said ^100. Touched pins from pins to ground and reading was .5 To do AC test I put meter on 200~(upper left on dial with AC button pushed down(by Mastercraft) and touched 1-2,1-3,and 2-3 meter said around 23,24 Then last test was highest Ohms setting 20M and test showed 0.00,pins to ground. Did I do the test right with my meter or should I try and get some help????

Father in law does

Get a Mr Gasket from Oreillys, but you don't have a Venture.

ok I realize this is an old thread, but I'M in need of a fuel pump and I see them from 20 bucks to 400. where is the most reliable place to order from? FIL decided after two years he wanted to try to ride the trike and guess what cranks and dies and there is no noise or vibration from fuel pump, found a blown fuse but it blew again as soon as I connected the fuel pump back up.
