  1. I did this convertion a while back and I just went and change all my hoses and cables to the rstd yamaha braided cables. My logic was right when i thought that these were made for the bars so why wouldn't they work on my venture. They did and I also have the 1.5 risers as well. no problem with length at all. I also know with just the 1.5 risers and stock venture bars the cables and hoses were stretch to about max.

     

    If anyone else is looking for the stock venture bars I also have a pair with wieghts in the garage.

  2. I have had my side reflectors changed out to LED for many years now. I have mine wired as turn signals. I have the wire ran through the crash bar and up under the seat. They work great and like it has been said adds that little extra light for turning when beside a car and they cant really see the front or rear turn signals. All my lights on the bike are LED even the driving lights and the head light is HID. I have no problems what so ever so far, knock on wood. Bike is pretty bright for being a black bike.

  3. that reda gas can does fit in the saddle bags of a venture right nicely at the rear end. it is designed for the HD but it fits ours too. My uncle has one and i tried to but it is still a little pricey.

  4. I will be out there with a little group this coming year. Went out in 2009 with about 8 other bikes and it was a blast. I have our hotels planned and days of riding (routes and gas stops). I have planned and saved money now for about a year so I might be able to make it. We will be riding into Wall SD on Monday Aug 6 afternoon/evening and staying there for the rally. Not too crowded and damn good price on a room with a owner that is really nice and biker friendly. I have rides planned for all the major areas (bad lands, mt. R, nemo, Custer, spearfish, devils tower, Hulett WY, Alzada Montana, enchanted hwy ND, needles, and all the above). We will be heading out on Sunday Aug 12 and heading south to east back to North Carolina. Got some good plans there also for Pikes Peak, four corners, rt 66, and more. I would be up for meeting but there will be others with me LOL. I look forward to reading about the meet & greet VR style. Let’s keep this thread open.

  5. Yah! One big happy family!!

     

    Unfortunately with us trikes, we put a bigger load on the clutch. Mine started slipping after just one season. Hopefully Goose told you about the heavy duty clutch that Yamaha makes. Do a search here, there is a nice step by step installation guide with pictures on this site.

     

    Mr. Goose is one of the most knowledgeable and downright helpful people on this site!!

     

    I am going to guess that this is a problem when you convert to a trike? I am questioning because I have found a hannigan venture for my dad and am wondering if we should just go ahead and replace it. It is an 08 with only 10K on it. i was thinking the barrnett or the PWC (?). I have upgrade my clutch in my 07 two wheeler with the full plate and stronger spring but didnt know if that is good enough for a trike.

     

    Now all to do is sell my dad 99 goldwing trike.

  6. I would be suprised if they do, the last thing I remember from the end of season 2 is he sold the saloon to a couple or at least was going to.

     

    there was talk about him selling but i dont think that deal every went through. I know he promoted out in daytona during bike week and was out there this year.

     

    The website says there will be a season 3.

  7. I think I'd like the faster blinking signals as well. Question is, does the self cancel still work without the load equalizer?

     

     

    Yes self cancle still works with faster blinkinb. I have Custom Dynamics clusters in the front and run/turn/brake in rear. They flash faster but I like it because i feel is catches attention better. They do still cancel.

  8. When I look at the turn signals on the front, they stay lit all the time and flash for turn signals, the rear only flash for turn signals. Looking to add more light to the back, has anyone tried mounting front turn bodies on the rear and wired them as running and turn signals?

     

     

    That would work but you def need to make sure you have red lenses or clear with red bulbs. I did what another person just did. I have the Custom Dynamic LED in all my turn signals. Rear are now run/turn/brake and I replaced the brake light with the orignal led board i think it is 48 led instead of 100. it is super bright.

     

    Call up CD they are great to work with www.customdynamics.com
