Crisis averted! Found the switch top burred in one of my gloves in the saddle bag after cleaning out the bike last night

Had some electrical gremlins, pulled the right and left controls apart to clean all the contacts and I've misplaced the red plastic kill switch cap. It does not appear as a separate part in the diagrams I'm finding. Before I spend $50 on an eBay used control... I'm asking for help here. Does anyone know if this part is available separately? Does anyone have an old trashed control that they'd be willing to part with?

Just to clarify... You looked at the "direction of travel" arrow on the tire and it is mounted backwards for the rear tire? Yes, definitely have it fixed. IF you are comparing the front tire tread pattern to the rear tire tread pattern, those would be reverse of each other. The front tire would have the force working against it when braking vs the rear tire having the forces propelling it when accelerating, hence "reversed" construction from a front tire vs rear tire.

I'm not up on the latest Harley touring bike setups and IF they still have a hook-up for headsets.... But I went with Sena 20s because you can get an extra helmet setup that includes a port to plug into the Venture/GW factory radio & intercom. When the kid and I are on the Venture we use the bike's wired radio & intercom, when we're on the Ural we use the bluetooth. Sena Helmet Clamp for CB/Audio of Honda Goldwing (20S, 20S EVO, 30K)

This is what happens when you own a bike for 10+ yrs.... you start forgetting what changes you've made!

I did add a similar LED Run-Brake-Turn bar under the tour pack and used one of Steve's break-out harnesses that made for an absolutely painless installation. Unclip the main light harness under the seat and put in the new harness provided by Steve, then tag the new light into the breakout wires with the schematics provided! I also used his ignition relay harness last year when my ignition plug melted. On a side note, Happy I picked up one of those Custom Dynamics plug-n-play LED taillight boards back when they were available!

I hang out with a Kawasaki Owners Group up here in Northern Indiana. Been on many Nomads and really liked them, haven't personally been on a Voyager. The fixed fairing on the chassis has always been a plus in my book and I've debated replacing the Venture with a Voyager in the future.

Good thing you didn't have to come any further west than St. Joe County. The next county west (LaPorte) got hammered with 3' of lake affect snow Friday morning to Saturday morning. It was supposed to hit Lake & Porter Co. but the winds shifted to keep it further east.

Just got over a few days of -10 plus wind chill in Chicagoland, now they're calling for some serious Lake Affect snow across northern Indiana (I'm right at the IL / IN boarder just outside of Chicago) with possible weekend accumulations of 12-18". I had my outside frost-proof spigot blow earlier this week and my side-yard is an ice rink!

Baja No-Pinch This is the "hot" item I've been hearing about on the ADV & Ural pages. I'm not sure how well it would work with big touring tires, but for the narrower dirt bike stuff every review I've read is good.

I put those 3/4" round flush fit LED marker lights you see on trailer, yellow on front & sides, red on rear...its pretty well lit up and looks like a small car at night with the headlights on the plow. That wasn't enough and almost got hit a few times cleaning my alley. So I did a similar pole-mounted yellow gyro-light on my JD tractor for the same reason.

Are you looking for just the mufflers, or a full header & muffler? I'm 99% sure I have my OEM mufflers on the shelf in the garage. Send me a Message with your zip code and I'll look into shipping.

Medical friends have called it a worst-case condition of the flu... definitely more than the common cold, but media reports a "sensationalized" version for ratings.

You're not the only one who's had an issue with the "integral" hitch on a full size ford letting go.
