uthpda Posted September 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2007 I know that the 2nd Gen people can't understand this:stirthepot:, but I was going so fast last night that the left side vent grill blew off!!!! I looked for it on the highway today, but no luck...I did find some black plastic pieces that may have been it!!! I checked on ebay and didn't see one...anyone have one on a parts bike they are willing to sell? I hate looking at the empty hole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted September 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2007 FYI, this stuff is still available from the factory. I recently purchased a new triangular hot-air-vent for my 87. They are not cheap - $70 - but the one you lost is a lot smaller and must be less expensive. BTW, I love your red Venture! Just this morning I was looking a a red Harley with just a touch of metallic in it and thinking how good that would look on my Venture - maybe someday when I have free time!:rotf: Yeah, and maybe pigs will fly!

Squeeze Posted September 13, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2007 I'm a bit confused about the Words you're using ... Could you Please, in further Reference, use the Term 'it was blown off' or 'delaminated by the Acceleration' or 'the Parts mounting couldn't stand the Speed i was going' or something else in this Line of Arguments ? imho, 'I am losing parts!!!' refers to other Brands which are not meant here. :rotf::rotf: Sorry, on your initial Question, i have nothing to give.

pegscraper Posted September 13, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 13, 2007 Oh I think we understand pretty well. Tupperware is falling off of the 1st gens like they're going out of style.

Redneck Posted September 14, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 14, 2007 Parts will fall those antiques while sitting in the barn. I know it wasn't from high speed cause its a first gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmel Posted September 14, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2007 Parts falling off a 1st gen. is so rare that it's worthy of a full-blown thread in the forum. Parts off a 2nd gen, on the other hand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, they are out of style. A 1st gen is desperately trying to update itself. Now, now, Lynn, there were two bikes from Indiana in Colorado. One was my 90 the other was Bummer's 06. I didn't see any of the other Indiana guys ther 1st or 2nd gens, must be most Indiana bikes can't go very far (bought mine in Tennessee..:rotf::rotf::stirthepot: Besides, mine don't look like no Hardley.....:rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted September 15, 2007 Share #17 Posted September 15, 2007 Hey, it's all in fun. I might as well jump in with everyone else. And my bike isn't a Hardley wanna be. I get more people ask me if it's an Indian. I'm seriously thinking about putting an Indian front fender on it, just to embellish the look a little. I think they look really cool. Us not making to CO had nothing to do with the bike, but rather with scheduling. We both wanted to go badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 1st gen was getting new springs, the other ONE was riding around but needed a push to get started, (something about a bad battery). But the 2 nd gens with Ontario plates were going strong. Talking Harley, that part falls off when the screw rattles out. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted September 15, 2007 Share #19 Posted September 15, 2007 Something to remember is that there is a right side vent and a left one. They are different parts and NOT interchangeable, so make sure you get the specific side for the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted September 15, 2007 Share #20 Posted September 15, 2007 Harley parts mounted on your bike,if so, this is going to happen from time to time, I have Road King pipes on my 1st gen and ever since I did that, I have had a couple of parts be Delaminated By Speed, and also start marking its spots at time............:rotf::rotf: My dash vent has Dlaminated twice, second time, gone for good, and that little dash vent costs $40.00 brand new.:080402gudl_prv: I know that the 2nd Gen people can't understand this:stirthepot:, but I was going so fast last night that the left side vent grill blew off!!!!

uthpda Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share #22 Posted September 17, 2007 Boy....it sure is fun getting things started. I knew it would get some folks going... those 2nd gen just hate to be reminded how slow their bike really are:stirthepot: Anyway thanks for the point to some places to get a replacement and to Cmiles3 for the offer. My truck just broke down so... not "non essential" spending until that is fix and the budget is back on track. SO it will be a little while until replace the part...the nice part is that I now "HAVE TO" ride the bike until the truck is fixed.... silver lining in every cloud!
