    i had a 2003 electra glide standard...i really liked it......but,at 35,000 miles and to make a long story short...the motor went bad and it was gonna be $4500 for a new one, and just one year warranty.....so......here i am........

    on my bike :.....oil pressure runs to 60 at startup........stays around 38-40 at normal temp, in 5th gear at 65 mph indicated...it will go to 50psi -60 if i shift to 4th and hit the throttle...........at idle,around 5psi

    i 'll let someone else answer that.........i've had mine since day one, it's not bad and hasn't gotten better or worse...and the new basket is not a guaranteed fix...but i've read enough stories on this site to decide to give it a try......

    i will.........and i told him about installs claimed and not done...he said, 'We don't do that here"........i think he understood i knew what i was talking about.......

    just wanted to say that yamaha of camp hill, pa., did me right yesterday....i've decided to try the "I" basket and went to their dealership to discuss it....initially, he said he didn't know anything about it but when i showed him posts on this web site about the "whine"..he called yamaha , they told him it was a legit complaint ....so the part is ordered , no questions asked.....

    very common problem with these bikes.......dielectric grease usually takes care of it...

    seaking my radio did the same thing...replaced by yamaha, did the same thing...........from info on this site, i disconnected the connectors in the fairing, put dielectric grease in all of them...have not had a problem since....

    i don't know where the center of gravity is on the harley or the venture.......i do know that it was easier turning the harley and it weighs about 60 lbs, give or take ,less....the harley doesn't have water jackets, radiator, ..the venture is just a bigger bike.....and it gets "interesting" when you tight turn it...
  13. jlh3rd
    i don't think there is a trick......you're right, the venture has a higher center of gravity and , because of that , it just takes more practise......the electra glide i had was a lot easier.....it weighed less also......i'm getting better with my venture......but , just like you, have the same feeling of going over........i think it just takes more practise....and because i don't wanna pay for dings and scrapes from letting the bike fall over......i take it slow with how far i go with my practise....

    take some time and go through this site...there is tons of info from lots of people that can help you make decisions as to what you can/should do to make this bike what you want it to be.....also, you will learn the strengths and weak points.......i like this bike more every year...

    i have found that when i do my trips...not planning stops is the greatest way to travel.......which leads to ending up in unique places to stay......and i'm trying to get to a rolling thunder... M&E means "meet and eat"

    i have 55w passing lamps, run/turn/brake lights ( incandescent ), and the upgraded stator.........when i run my heated vest,pants and gloves, with the passing lamps on,...i see about 12.5 volts....which means my battery isn't being charged...if i go to high beam, which turns off my passing lamps, i see about 13.2 volts........my guess is that you are probably ok, if your bike is stock......but if you research threads on this site, you'll see many comments about the stock charging system on these bikes.......you really need some type of meter to read the system while your running.....lots of threads on that topic also.......

    i wonder how the digital one would look mounted in the center of the faceplate with two other round gauges on each side on the gauge conversion for the gen 2.....
