davepa Posted October 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2009 Picked up another VR in June and showed up at Earl's (skydoc) Earl helped put her back into service with carb synch, rebuilt front calipers, rebuilt rear caliper, f/r pads, mounted new tires f/r, radiator drain upgrade, and a general going over. Heck he even took it for a ride and had it PA state inspected......... So here are a couple pics I took this evening.. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/davepa/IMG_0651.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/davepa/IMG_0654.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/davepa/IMG_0652.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/davepa/IMG_0653.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/davepa/IMG_0650.jpg Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepa Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted October 27, 2009 I have her twin here in Houston Dave...good looking bike and glad to see you back on a Venture Thanks all I am glad to be back! I am also enjoying my 09 Ultra Classic but the old VR is a blast to ride and much quicker. Just had to get another so I could keep up with Earl...I stopped by on my UC and ask Earl if he wanted to go for a ride and he said "sure if you don't mind looking at my tail light" Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepa Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted October 27, 2009 Were both in the same boat, we have 1st gens and H/D's I just acquired a '79 Electra Glide Congrats on the Glide! I kept an eye on the original post of you helping to get '79 running again and also feel that you were very deserving of such a gift. I am sure you will enjoy the HD as much as do mine, of course, it will not replace the VR. They are two completely different bikes, a blast to ride in their own way...
