  1. I like that look too but figure I could put a strip of masking tape on the inside and get the same Sun blocking. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  2. I wear a halfshell most of the time but I got a Caberg modular that wear in colder temps, which you don't see in FL, that I love but feel like a dork when where it. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  3. Good idea! have you considered putting the tape on the inside? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  4. Wow! Glad you're ok! "Moral of the story...never let your guard down, always have an "out", and anticipate the unexpected. Sorry this was so long but am happy to be here relating the story to my Venture family." Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  5. Reminds me of trying to teach my kids how to ride a bike. One of the hardest things was getting their eyes off of their front wheel and handle bars and looking out ahead making balance much easier. Also makes me think I should upgrade to 2nd gen brakes Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  6. While my bike is with my mechanic, should I have an oil cooler added to my stator? He seemed concerned about drilling the cover but says it would definitely help the stator last longer. I know I've seen conversation in here about this upgrade but does anyone have a parts list or Video available? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  7.

  8. Oh, and guess what! I was telling the story to my mechanic, while discussing the H1 sitting in front of us, that I had ordered the bike new, the first KZ650 in Lincoln and waited 2 months for it. He believes that his dad was my salesman for that 650! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  9. Picture was in '78 after cutting off 14" of pony tail. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  10. I had a Kaw 400 4 stroke pig. My buddy had an H1. Never did like that dog 400. Motivated me to get the 650. I still think she was gorgeous. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  11. He got lucky then! Good to know and I'll pass it along. I wouldn't ride on them either but a collector might like the all original aspect. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

  13. Oh, and while I have your attention, someone gave me advice about a 100 degree for an hour or so fix for a TDI box. I shared that in conversation with my mechanic, who got another venture in and used that trick last week. Opened the box up, set it in the sun on Blacktop at 118 degrees. About an hour to 1.5 hr.. Plugged it back in and worked like a charm. Thank you for saving an anonymous Venture Rider some bucks! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  14. Cowpuc and I were reminiscing the other day. Needs going through but is for sale. Probably at collector prices... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  15. Spotted in Omaha. 72 H1. Original miles! Original front tire II rear tire (might actually be able to find the original rear tire.) Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  16. Changed oil yesterday. Rode 75 miles and now this is new. It won't come off without a solvent. Am I missing a plug in that hole? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  17. Clean but I believe you. it's old oil in the other pic and dry after last night's quick trip. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  18. Just able to get out 20 miles since adding 2/3 bottle of B-12 into about 4 gal' s gas. Carbs are dry. Ran well. Will see what the weekend brings but will still have carbs synched. Gonna get up and head out for a sunrise ride. One where I can take clothes off as the day warms rather than vice/versa Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  19. That drain screw will not move! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  20. Chem Tech, duh... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  21. Flyinfool, its gas. Odoriffic! On my way to Wally's for High-tech. I like the emotion that includes, "ride it hard" best! Someone want to circle the drain screw on that photo for me? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  22. Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and the fam Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  23. Maybe tank crud in the needle too Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  24. Mechanic says bring it in Monday and they'll "work it in" next week. Meanwhile, there goes a beautiful weekends weather with highs in the mid 70's... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  25. The carb leak stopped then reappeared 300 miles later... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
