As a Yamaha owner I was gonna make a comment about this thread, But after reading Freebird's post about No Politics I decided the best thing for me to do is keep my mouth shut.

Hey Lewis, I got a good front fender for you if you need one off a 84.

Why I can't I make finds like that? Couldn't the sheriff's department tell you how to locate the owner? Whats your plans with it if you can't find owner? Parts? Sell or Trade.

Yes I do, They are in good shape but will need to be painted, Previouse owner spray painted black. -

I know we do alot of bragging down here in the sunny south about our twelve month riding season. But, the truth of the matter is that since November our weather in Atlanta has pretty much sucked, at least for riding. If it wasn't raining (which we despertly needed) it's been pretty cold. Not as cold as some of you but cold enough to keep the bike parked. I'm at a loss to understand how some you in the colder climates tolerate the winters but down here, we don't do well with the cold and Cabin Fever can be a real concern. Expressing my concerns about my mental health due to cabin fever to Blackjack, he suggested a ride on Friday which was projected as a decent riding day. Mostly sunny with a high temp of 65. Friday also happened to be the opening day of the Great American Motorcycle Show being held here in Atlanta, this weekend. So we agreed on a time and place to meet and took a short but pleasant ride to attend the opening of the show. One of his neighbors/Goldwing buddies, Ken, who has also attended several N. Ga. M&E's, also made it in time to be there with us when the doors opened. We spent the afternoon walking the show which overall was the same as last year's and all the years before. But, we still had a good time and I took a few pictures to share.

Yea what Muffinman said no thanks needed. Right before you called I was trying to decide on constructive things I could be doing on that day. Your call gave me a plan where I could be productive. Thanks for thinking of me when you needed some help. It was my pleasure. SteveW deserves all the credit on the M&E I didn't do anything but leave Steve a small mess on the floor where I took my bike apart.

The best way I found was to take it to a chromer/polishing company and have it acid dipped then profesionally polished. It comes out looking like chrome. Check out my earlier post on "Poor Man's tips and fixes" Thread named "Making engine show ready" dated last spring.

I'm operating a new camera I got for Christmas and I guess I have to find out how to make pictures smaller. Maybe I'll read the owners manual today.

If you take the anemic aluminum ones and have them acid dipped and polished they will look chromed and can probably be done cheaper than having chromed. Ask Condor, he had a set done.

I've got a similar problem with #4 flooding. I'm curios about float sinking and checking float level, How do you do that? -
'86 RSV Driving Lights
Dragonslayer replied to mechanic1's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I found a set of lights in the auto department at walmart for about $15.00, I mounted them low on the front chin top side bolts and they work great. I don't know what watt they are but I direct wired them to the battery with an inline fuse and they do not cause a problem. -
which one to keep?
Dragonslayer replied to Kurt827's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
If you could figure a way to mass produce a few hundred sets of these I bet they would sell like hot cakes. I for one would be first in line. -
Evidently I don't know how to do this or I'm computer ignorant or something cause nothing I did made any difference. I still can't upload photos.

Don, I've been trying to upload photos of the N. Ga. Maintenance day M&E and I keep getting this message that says photos can not be uploaded due to missing security token, check with administrator. Am I doing some thing wrong or is this a glitch because of software update?

Dragonslayer replied to Dragonslayer's topic in Watering Hole
I'm glad to hear that you are doing OK. Sounds like your riding the storm out. I was having nighmares of how my life could go on if something were to happen to you.
