How much do those help? I see Yamaha still makes that kit.

Awesome, Ill give him a shout...what do you suggest for brackets?

I think they only do the bracket..witch i dont even have currently

something like this

I have been doing searches on the lower deflecors without "clear" results...yamaha has individual parts(no kit) others make either a bracket or just the shield...??? not sure what to do, has anyone tried using the HD style? Not sure what they are called but they are either chrome or aluminum. They are far longer than stock yamaha, from fairing to fender almost..am I crazy, I think they look pretty cool???

Stratoliner front wheel? I havent heard of that...tell me about it, pics? Vmax just for the lower gear. better acceleration? The higher rpm didnt bother you at all?

Thanks everyone, for the seat I was thinking either the Russel or Butler mod..either a good choice it seems. I was only thinking of lower the front to improve handling like the link for the rear, I still have the stock 150 up front but will try the 130 when its shot. Lowers wind deflectors I was refering to are the ones down on the fork below the fairing, beside the fender area...mine doesnt have any. So a larger clearview, not sure what the f4 is but will look for it. Keep the input coming, Im listening:)

Hello everyone, I would love some advice from seasoned Venture riders:) I have owned the bike a couple years and concsidered selling, but decided not to. So, what are the best things I do do to make this bike as fun as possible? Here is what im thinking... 1. SEAT - stock isnt great and I have a Corben as well, it hurts! What do you suggest? 2. Windshield - I have a clearview, but it buffets the top of my head like crazy, to short? 3. Lower wind deflectors? - My bike is an 04 and didnt come with them, suggestions? Worth the effort? 4. Handling - I put Dunlop E3s and love them, Im thinking about lowering the front as well? 5. Handlebars - risers? flanders?....options? Please advise on anything I missed to start, thank you! Travis
