Apparently I've developed many bad habits over the years
snyper316 replied to SilvrT's topic in Watering Hole
Huh yield? I thought you drove out in them and went in circles. I kid you not the first time I seen one I literally had no clue. Another one that got me is this new diamond thing in Joplin you literally swap sides of the road. Which I didn't realize and I still get fumbled up on it specially coming off interstate. "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly." -
I don't think many are located in this Fourstate Area I live in, I live just south of Joplin and about 30-45 minutes from Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma.. We are having a Blessing of the Bikes come Sunday and as long as My BG stays down and the rain stays up I will be there. Hopefully we don't get rained out... Hopefully I will get to see some awesome trikes, and even awesomer Ventures.

LED lights on Tweeksis - she's an adorable 83 if that matters..
snyper316 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
As I said a dark alley, well Tinker and me didn't care for it as it was wet, muddy and slick. So I rode out by my buddies house and pulled off the side of the road, here is a car passing best I could do for side by side comparison, keep in mind I have only one light. This is dim it has 6 leds lit up This on dim Did the best I could here but off to my left on the road is a car about lined up with me, I have my light aimed down a little more just so I don't blind someone coming at me. -

Now I know you just Squirrellier then a squirrel that lost his acorns, Now that is cool she has her own. So where is your stickers. That wouldn't be your trainer till its covered in them, maybe for this one get some beer stickers, and some sayings you like and stick them all over it.

snyper316 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
It will blind you when you look at the bike even in the daytime, But yes a heck of alot better then the stock did, Even with Led in mine it did better then stock it just would not aim right, Basically seemed I was just brightening the space I could already see. So was chatting with Bongo and Fool one night and fool said something along the lines of the light will probably not work right unless it was in housing made for LED So i got this light, interesting enuff I could not get it to seat all the way back just trying to figure out a way to maybe rig an actual pan in there for the light and still allow me to adjust it, as of right now I have it modified enuff to be able to adjust. But it was also supposedly a 5x7 light.. But to answer your question on a very dark road out in the country it does its best work even on low beams. I just used the plug off the RLU and cut it about an inch from the plug and twisted the wire together, sodered it and heat shrink tubed it. Plugged it in to the existing plug and had my jumper plus if I chose to I would just go back to stock.. If it isn't raining tonight and is dry I will go down the dark alley across the street and get a couple pictures. -

snyper316 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
Well schucks guess I owe you $60, Can I get half off on that because I was laughing so hard thru it that I missed half of what you were intructing... I got a kick out of it. I think that trainer would look cool with those rolled up type leather pouches one on each side and then one hanging on the handle bars, But where is Tippy gonna sit? -

snyper316 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
All I got to say it was a pain for me, But well worth it I can see just as good as I do with my Tahoe. If his lights will fit right in there I will be kicking myself because I did some modifying to get my headlight to fit. I still have the stock bulb with the LED in it but I wanted to try a headlight that was made for LED. -
Woohoo Time to go sit on the Dock of the Bay, Sorry I got sidetracked on the post. Have Fun!!

Apparently I've developed many bad habits over the years
snyper316 replied to SilvrT's topic in Watering Hole
Yeah that.... I had a permit for 3 yrs, no restrictions. I took the test on a 150cc scooter, Glad I did there is no way I could have passed on the venture!!! I have taken it to there tiny course and started at the line where they want you to WOT it, then when you get your front tire over the next line you are to slam on the brakes and will not be docked for skidding. The first time I failed at this on the scooter so that is what I was using as judgement, I managed to get stopped about 2 foot farther then I did on the scooter the first time. Then I tried cowpucs schooling for riding slow, did that pretty well but I crossed the corner marking with front tire, second attempt I would have smashed the cone had it been there where they had it. The course is all marked out but there is just no way what so ever could you do it on the ventures, wonder if they would believe it was a Trike. -

This has got me very curious, that was another thing I had changed because I knew I would be running the fuel right thru, I put in the cheaper gas in Republic, and rode home and stopped at The gas station here in town and reupped to check mileage. Nah can't be wouldn't make any sense putting 87 octane in and getting the 40mpg..... But it has got some wheels turning in my head and smoke coming from my ears!! -

Bought Carb Rebuild Video by Damon Ferraiuolo

Can anyone tell me how to get ahold of Damon, I'm working on my spare carburetors. And may be purchasing a spare engine after I get the carbs done. "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly." -

snyper316 replied to SilvrT's topic in Watering Hole
A Class C no longer required? I know there was no special test for those one camper trailers that were like 10 foot long. But I could have swore we needed Class C for 14 foot or longer at least that is what I understood anyways. Now that you point that out that is kind of scary because alot of people don't understand the off tracking of trailers let alone the vehicle there driving... -
Temp gauge question
snyper316 replied to Grez007's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
My fan generally kicks on within 10-15minutes. Now If I am riding it maybe a few miles, and it generally stays on once it kicks on I believe I really haven't paid attention to it. Plus it is pretty quiet In my opinion. At least to a cars electric fan, I couldn't hear my mustangs kick in after I got dual exhaust installed. I do know when the bike is idling I hear a relay kick it on and can hear the fan hum just a bit... -
Mine is the same on there cpt it is spelled snyp3r316, I think I am gonna go check mine because I really don't remember what I had on there...

Stupid solid turn signals...

Take the Fairing off alot easier and you will see them both on the left side about underneath where the windshield mounts -
Stupid solid turn signals...
snyper316 replied to MattK's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
OK your stock flasher if you flip it upside down and look on it, it has B+, L, C. Take note of where C would plug in on your connector, This is the one that runs to the Cancelling unit. I had to change it to ground, Because the regular normal flasher have either 2 prongs or 3 prongs, the one I gave you the part number to has 3 prongs. You will see B+ L and G - I can not remember exactly how it is as its undereath my fairing so I am going off of memory, so basically you have to create a ground for the new flasher as the cancelling unit will not work as a ground..... -

snyper316 replied to MattK's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think I need to go check the driveway. See if Tinker is still out there :stickpoke:because basically sounds exactly like the same problems I had. The canceling unit only worked when it wanted too.. -

snyper316 replied to MattK's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You have to also create an element between the ground wire and the turn signal wire, Crossing them with the resistor... If you give up on that then get an ep36 flasher from autozone or oreily. The side of your stock flasher that says C is the wire going to your counselor, What I did here is cut the wire 2-3 inches from the plug. took the plug side and ran a ground wire to it no not have the stock flasher plugged in. Plug in the EP 36 flasher and you will not need the resistors... this in turn takes away your cancelling unit. Basically all mine is reversible essentially. As I was just running a test on this. I just haven't went back to stock.
