I am 6'1" my knees do hit the bags at times,But I like them so much I deal with it, My legs have never touched my wings when using my hi-way pegs. I have the Venture wings which mount the same way. Been on my bike for over 85,000 miles with no fairing cracks..Love my wings, wind out when cold and wind in when hot..

Year 1974,I was 15 yrs old and found an old 650 Kawasaki and took it to the high school welding shop and chopped it!

86 Venture Ordering new tires, Dunlop Elite 3, I know I need: Front: 120/90-18, Rear: 140/90-16 Dunlop charts show numbers I am not familar with, Front MR90-18 and Rear MU90B16, some shops show the "B" in the rear tire, some do not. Before I break open the wallet, does all this look right?? Thanks as usual!!

My "86", 85,000 miles and still going strong,go for it...

It's time, My "86" may be up for sale.. I keep reading on this site that Yamaha has not, nor will not upgrade the RSV. Is there any hope on the horizon,for a bigger power plant,updated audio,bells and whistles etc.. I sat on a new Indian Roadmaster and fired it up..wow.. 111 cu inches and every creature comfort I would ever want. Do I keep waiting for the RSV of my dreams or...

A picture is worth a thousand miles!

Does anyone have a good pre season tune-up/check-up list for a "86"

Going crazy waiting for decent weather here in Idaho, cannot wait to ride hiway 12, repaved last summer and waiting for Venture tires to break it in!!

I have a binder full of maps,in the old days I copied sections of State maps ,marked my rides all by hand. Now I use online maps and using paint copy sections, trace my rides add notes such as hotels,resturaunts gas prices scenic stops etc, and then I attach a map quest sheet with all the mileages and routes. I am not much of a computer guru but it works for me.

Thanks all..

yep,using the right wrench.

Just added fluid to my clutch, went to bleed the line and the bleeder will not open, sprayed with W-40, still will not move. How much pressure do I dare put on it?? I assume it is lefty loosey to open it..

Yes sir!!
