    Put the money toward a BBQ with beer meet & eat and I'm sure you'll get takers ready to come up and put that bike right for you.

    Don't give up yet there are many members close by that have the experience and expertise to help you with these repairs. I'm in Atlanta and will be glad to help you as we can get together. Your not that far away. Muffinman is a great resource if he's up for it. My advice is trust the experience on this site and do not trust the shops and dealerships. We know these bikes they don't.

    I talked to my friend and fellow member John Gibson (Raceman62race) today who informed me he is now a member of that club that nobody want's to join but some of us are inducted to. The Rider Down Club. Evidently on the way home yesterday he was waiting at a light when a mini-van coming up on his right side tried to make a left turn, careened off a couple of vehicles before hitting him on his right side ejecting him off his bike and wipeing out the right side of his 2nd gen Venture. He is alright, relatively speaking, and did not break anything after hitting the ground hard. He said he was pretty sore and was on the way to his doctor for pain meds for bruised hip and side. John is a good friend and a super guy if you've met him. He thinks his bike may be totalled and I'm asking for your prayers and well wishes for his speedy recovery and bike settlement with the insurance company so he can be back riding on two wheels soon.

    My thought was that it is a good thing your not a smoker. It has been my experience that smokers will have thier cigs when they want one no matter what the risk.

    If I was at the security check at the airport I would definently look for explosives if I saw these two especially the one on the right.

    I reconized Blackjack but who is the other character? Why won't the picture upsize? and what's the back story? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Sounds like the boy friend needs to go out and buy a bike.

    Thanks once again your input has been invaluable.It took me 5 years since ownership to realize it had a fork lock position and now another 3 years to find out it in fact had 2 fork lock positions. Someday I will have finally learned everything about the intricate details of this 23 year old cutting edge technology of the 1st Gen Ventures.

    That is just wrong on so many levels

    I would like to use the front fork lock position on my ignition switch from time to time and have noticed that when I do the blinker lights come on and stay on. They dont blink they just come on. What's up with that?

    I bought an item off E-bay one time which was described as being engineered to trip traffic lights for motorcycles. I think I paid around $15.00 US plus shipping. What I received was two round magnets which ressembled refrigerator magnets. The theory being that the magnetic field created by the magnets would trip the traffic light sensor. Well I don't know if they actually worked or not because I could not tell much difference. It would be interesting to have a more informed opinion on this subject. Surely, there is a traffic engineer out there some where that would know. When I get stuck behind a light like that I always look both ways to make sure there are no on coming traffic especially LEO"s then run the light. However, around here they are installing camera's on all the intersections to catch people running lights remotely, then sending a ticket in the mail. I wonder how they are dealing with the motorcycle issue. At least in Georgia we still have the right turn on red after stop rule if not otherwise posted. So I guess your are only in a bind if you want to take a left.

    I have, road a friend of mines 2005 Midnight Venture one weekend at the first if the summer. It wasn't a bad ride but I still liked my 1st Gen better.

    I would have screamed like a little girl and jumped over the moon. I stuck a screwdriver in my eye one time and did not like it at all. Sorry you had to go through this and hope things turn out for the best. I'll say a prayer.

    Sounds good but, when you torque it down is there any specific to torque pressure for the clutch bolts and fly wheel bolt?
