    follow up on the bike life, I added a few pieces of plywood to the underside of the kickstand, to better support, the bike when its lifted, I used a car jack, on the right side, as far back as i could go. You know your off the ground when the handle bars, swing to the locked position, even tho the back is not out the ground, Now simple, push up on the bottom of your trailer hitch, or saddle backs bottom, if you don't have a hitch, the back tire comes off the ground. So, anyway, I spun, the back tire, no noise, of un evenness in the tire, back fine, as far as I can tell. for the heck of it, I spun, the front, and to my surprise, the brakes were, hitting the rotor, slight, drag, more so on the right side. Okay, How do I fix?

    I want to lift the rear end up an inch to spine the back wheel. Last night while coming home, the back wheel actually felt like, the tire was wobbling from side to side. want to but in neutral and spine the tire, and check to see, if the tire has failed

    I had a set like that years ago on my Honda 750, I lost my head light on the NJ turnpike, and was able to drive home with just the mini lamps

    pulling a trailer is no problem, just get up graded pads, and be ready to change them out often ( Hens My Call Sign ) this is the Matrix I e-mailed you about. weighs in at 197 empty, It will hold 550 lbs of stuff, and its been to the max weigh limit a few times

    I've been down on black Ice, Ran into a Deer, and have slid on ice into the garage doors I've been riding since 1980, But with all the riding skills, it still comes down to age with me. and the fact that I travel a lot with my wife on the back I ride as safe as I can, I don't play while riding, and I plan every trip, I anticipate all my turns. and I ride to my comfort level. (Florida gets very windy this time of year) I'll take secondary roads instead of the highways I'll take the turnpike or 95, if there is no other way to the location. when were pulling the trailer, we only ride at 65 MPH, Don't care what anyone else is doing. Like this coming International Rally 2012, I'm riding straight up secondary roads, I think I hit one state highway, but only for 28 miles. For a lot of us we pay a lot of money for the pleasure of riding this bike. before I go out on a ride, i check the bikes tires, and i go practice my circles & figure 8's in the street before taking off, especially when the wife is on the back I did a lot of club riding for years, and with the latest of club was the Lead shepherd for 3 1/2 years (Star Chapter 297 Ft. Lauderdale).at one point and time, our formations were so tight, that traveling down the highway at 70 with 15 riders, we'd be just a little longer the then a tandem tracker trailer 150 to 160 feet. Years back I did parade formations with 7 to 9 bikes, diamond formations ( floor board to floor board) riding. Now a days, Its more the pleasure of being with my wife. taking a ride out for breakfast. or riding with a small group for a lunch ride. I'm over cautious on wet pavement, and crossing white lines and rail road tracks in the rain, & I slow down when coming to intersections. And it is with the grace of God, that I haven't broken anything yet. That's my story and I'm sticking to it......

    I took my Roadstar lights when I bought my venture, the bulbs are 55 watts, are they drawing too much power? or are the the right wattage for the Venture? I'm thinking of going to a lower wattage bulb, because of all the lights I have on the back of the bike, and for the extra lights I have on the trailer. (4 3 candle watt bulbs as runners) & the LED run, brake, & turn on the back. How many watts am I pulling when I'm running the radio, 3 head lights, and pulling the trailer? and what is the Max out put on the system?

    I have the same Light bar, But the Bulb is round at the base, the LED is a plug in. do they make a round LED plug in?
