Ok folks, I settled on this mount because it is very similar to a RAM mount that I know holds the phone very securely. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWCQJ9D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This model comes with a 12V to 5V converter terminated into a USB connector good for 2 amps. I wanted to locate the holder to meet this criteria: I wanted it to not obstruct the mirrors or any gauges at all I wanted to be in the center line of the bike as close as possible I wanted it to be close as possible to my head so I would not have to reach for to manipulate it I wanted to keep modifications of the bike to an absolute minium Here are the results and I was even able to hide the wires under the cover on the handle bars that carry the switch wires. The phone sits above the cruise controls and the ignition around 4.5 inches, so they can still be reached very easily. I like it. Opinions please....

That is exactly what I was looking for PH, thanks soo much!!

I found some posts about the stock tool kit, which I don't have. I want to put one together and know you ppl skilled on these Ventures must have come up with a good inventory! Anyone want to share all the wrenches, allens, sockets etc that should be on board? Thanks

Tanks people for the insight. The lack of fuel delivery makes sense and I'll pass the info along to him.

I have a buddy that has an 81 Honda CB650. The bike is very clean with 12.5K miles. He experiences engine stumbling at around 60 MPH and up but only if he is at or near WOT. If you creep up to 65 MPH or beyond it runs fine with no stumble. Any ideas where to start looking? Carbs clogged? Thanks Will

Unless the shirt says "Stupid" on it I'll pass lol

I think there is a 10 year grace period.

I was at a friends house on a 20% grade gravel driveway. I was backing up to turn around to leave when the bike shifted. I put my feet down and the left foot hit but my right foot was still a foot off the ground and the bike went slow motion to the ground while I arrested the fall holding the right grip of the bar. I got it up and rode away with only a minor scuff to the right mirror. My pride however was shattered!! Oh well I guess I'll take a .10 MPH crash over a highway one!!

I've found, while searching, quite a few discussions on types of cell phone mounts but few have pics included. I'd sure like to see some clean installs different people have on their Ventures. I'm leaning towards this mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075PJT7NC?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=9WNR8KGCWKHJ90B7X2TA Thought I could use the handle bar slot to mount it. Cheers Will

Thanks Prairiehammer! That one is not the one I saw, but yours is way nicer, thanks again!!

Congrats!! You won't be needing your old bikes and I ave plenty of room here!!

Thanks MiCarl. I've seen a nice carb "flow" diagram here before, but I guess I'm not good at searching as I can't find it again!!

I was wondering if in on these screws makes the mix richer. I gather that they control air? And if I do then in would restrict the air more making the mix more rich? Do I have that correct or am I way off? Thanks

Ah the late 60's, what a time to be alive. Tune in, drop out, make love not war etc.... Unfortunately, if you consider 1969 late 60's, I was only three. I did however do 10 years USAF!!

rotflmao !!

Squirrels are just tree rats!!

How many HAMS are on this site? Over es ur 599 599 KK

I like the idea of a single carb setup and think the OP deserves credit. With that being said, the welding he showed in the video sucked!! I'd shoot myself if that was the best welding I could do!! But, then again, I'm the master welder lol

Thanks, I'll start the searching.

That is a nice sentiment but lets not forget some dogs are jerks and need to learn a lesson the only way they can, the hard way!!

Ok, between the two small screws and the JB Weld, small amount neatly applied, I'm back in business. I'll continue to look for a switch as I'm not sure how the JB will hold up on the plastic of the switch. Toodles

There is a small flat lip on the switch so I drilled two tiny holes in the switch lip and into the brake lever switch and tapped them to 2-56. I also JB welded the assembly and am waiting for it to cure. I have my fingers crossed!!

I noticed today that my cruise on my 89 VR would not set. Because of all the helpful posts here the first thing I checked was the brake switches. Of course I found my front brake switch was broken where the round part insets into the lever assembly. Anyone have one for sale or know of a source of supply? I'll try to epoxy it but I'm not holding my breath on that!! Thanks Will

It may be. I had it off to take a look at the clutch and I may have gotten it a little high. Will

I have to post pics of my new toy. I love this bike!! I pulled next to a 94 Voyager last weekend. IMHO the Venture, if nothing else, looks way more stylish!! My 89 VR:
