I ended up ordering some on eBay.

If the starter is spinning the starter relay is stuck or somehow getting power to close the relay. I’m my experience that relay has stuck open, but if the contacts arced and welded closed it could cause that.

Received and installed my new seat from Partzilla. Went for a quick 5 mile run just to feel the fit. Clicked over from the trip meter to odometer in time to catch this. Yes, miles not those little bitty km’s.

Several run darkside. I’m on a Nexen.

Does anyone have a set of 2nd Gen passenger grab bars they want to sell? I modified mine to install armrests that I’m not crazy about. I have a better rest design now but need unmolested bars. Rather pay someone here than eBay.

Best I can tell the seams aren’t coming apart but the black top layer of vinyl separated in a couple spots.

I really didn’t know I was looking for a new one either. I had the Butler mod done last summer and it’s not working for me. I looked up new ones on a whim and ended up buying one. I’ll swap my Butler seat for an OEM spare sometime or keep it in case I ever sell the bike, it can go with it. I’ll keep the new one for the next Venture.

I’ve seen used ones sell higher than $315. They show the older flat panel seats as unavailable so my understanding is this is the pillow top, I’ll find out when it gets here. . Pillions unavailable.

In my best KY gobblety gook it’s both harder and softer. He removes some original foam, adds a layer of firmer foam and a top layer of memory foam. I’ve read tons of great reviews but it’s not for me. I took it off today to get good pictures, it does have more seam wear than I’d noticed, it is an 80,000 mile seat. To look at it you can’t see any difference after he’s done.

I had my seat redone by Rick last summer, with my long legs and back issues it’s not working for me. I was thinking today of having it redone again back closer to original but thought if anyone wants it I’d swap for an original pillow top.

Try eBay, Pinwall Cycles, or Mike Eykamp, you should be able to find one the right color if your bike hasn’t been repainted. That’s how I did a busted saddlebag.

Morph closed down a few years ago, luckily I got a set of Mic-Mutes before that. Hoping they never fry.

That’s cool.

Yeah, I never let my tires get all the way to the wear bars. I’m too attached to my skin.

Yep, that’s them. When the city killed my email account after I retired I lost about 1/2 my contacts.

I threw out all my cassettes years ago. I can stream my own playlists or full albums from Pandora or Apple Music. I got one of Edsets Bluestreak units before he went out of business to Bluetooth music and phone calls through the speakers or headsets.

Will the bike roll in gear with engine off and clutch engaged?

Does anybody remember the new couple that showed up for one day last year at Asheville? Maybe with @dfitzbiz? They wanted a set of passenger pegs but I lost their contact. Waiting for 10 sets to come back from powder coat any day.

Checked the float levels?

Check clutch, driveshaft, final drive.

Plugs? Carbs clean and in synch? Brakes dragging? , high speeds?

Take the cover off of the ignition switch, you’ll see the hose off the right side front of the tank.

Sounds like the pushrod is out of place.
