I have to say thank you. Only yesterday I noticing the boots showing their age its a 2000. i added it to the list of things for the winter. Being a 16 year old cycle I have replaced fuel lines an a few other rubber pieces. Thanks again

Four wheels is another option. I know it a bit late for some people. We can all still have some fun makin new friends..

While at it check those screws on the bottom inside of the gas cap. Yes they too do come loose.

Hope you can make it.

Friday we can get out for the day. Being October we Should have some decent leaf colors Always open to suggestions. Its our weekend not mine Here is an idea while out on Saturday - Ohio Smoked Meat and Barbeque Festival

It was an enjoyable weekend . We had a few show saturday just to say hello and some for a ride. I wil be setting up an campout for mid october.

Getting around seems to be better . Riding is a big ? See the calendar for the camp info. The meetup can be at the moose lodge around 9:30 Lodge 2321 3640 Reynoldsburg- Baltimore Road Baltimore, OH 43105 The Campout is just behind the lodge at Rippling Streams campground.

I had my back go out this morning and pretty much riding over the next few weeks is a no go for me. I can barely walk at the moment. Jim is headed down from upstate NY. July 15 and 16 Is anyone up for a meet and eat followed by a Friday ride. I am hoping we may have a couple of VR members looking to get out for a few hours. I can get a cookout going for when the ride returns to the campground or pick up some Pizza from Pizza cottage Same goes for Saturday A ride and a cookout Call me if you can make it. 740-803-3069

Bump. Not getting to much interest is the campout. July 14th come on out for a few days of fun

Mid OHIO IBMC / VR Camp out- Rippling Streams Campground - Baltimore OHIO - Behind Moose lodge 2321 Check the calender I have moved the camp out to another location Friday we will take a day trip to the Warther Musuem then a scenic ride back throught the Amish area in Holmes county Ohio Saturday Evening cookout followed by a campfire. The AMA hall of fame is close by Iron Pony Motorsports is about 20 miles

The first trailer I bought was one of those. Never towing before I thought it would be to big . After pulling my bunkhouse all over the place I was wrong I never did tow it. What you need to do is load it up and take it out riding for the day. Maybe a day with some wind. Then you can form your own opinion. That trailer will hold a heavy load. You will need to watch the weight . Only you can decide if you are comfortable pulling the trailer. Be safe

I have seen one that connects to you Hi beam. Flash to pass I use a pouch on my windshield to hold the GDO

since you will have it apart. I would just remove both side muffler and bags it s easy. With everything off. remove and grease up the hub splines, Change the rear diff oil . pull the drive shaft and grease up both ends, check the rear shock for oil leakage, The shock can be replaced with the tire on or off . Its a good time to replace brake pads if needed. Putting the rear tire on solo can be a pain, Sometimes it just does not want to line up you can put some blocks or a small jack under the tire to take some weight off. When putting the drive shaft in on the forward side , You need to make sure it is into the joint up there it is very easy to miss. First time i did it I did not see the big deal it went right in The second time it took several attempts. In or not everything will go back together . It would kinda suck to get it all back together to only have to take it apart. This forum is a great source for info Plenty of good mechanics.:bowdown: Want proof just ask what oil to use then sit back and wait Be safe ...

If he is coming I will take the car up for the day. I have been thinking of having him do something to break up all the black. If not I will get his info and drive up and see him another time

I know some people don't like them. I have been running Metzlers in my 06 Tour deluxe for 9 years and 3 on my Venture with total satisfaction. anywhere from 14000 to 19000 miles outa them You need to run the proper air in them I run 41 in the rear 38 up front . every time I bring them in for replacements The shop guys comment on how well worn they are. Most of the time riding 2 up and I pull a trailer I recently switch to the Avon Cobra on my venture to try something different. The Avon cobra has a 15000 mile warranty . They handle nice also That's my 2 cents

I put the dynamic clusters on my Tour Deluxe . My flashers are now Brake, blinkers and running lights Those light are bright

Take apart the player and put the housing back in. I did that last winter . I built up the inside and made a spot to put my wallet. I also used a Y connector move the line in to down by the accessory plug and another run to the trunk

Just the passenger peg need to be removed. Don't forget to support the rear tire if you have it jacked . It will drop when you remove the shock Sorry I don't remember the bolt size I put a hago in last year and I like it.

Good luck on your new path. I do hope it works well for you. We will be here when you get back.

I have 2 in the garage. You and Eileen want come down for a weekend of riding you just let me know

Robin and I may make just for Saturday. We had made vacation plans for that week back in January. 35 people is a nice get together The couple of camp outs I have hosted were all small and still a good time

Thanks for the post . I read it a few days ago when I was rebuilding the petcock in the Venture. So today working on the RSTD the brass nipple pulled out. You guys all saved me from having an OH **** moment. I pushed it and gave it a little tap with a rubber mallet it it was fixed Glad to be a member.

NO NO NO ..... I had my shock start to leak and figured I would just wait till it died. It went and it became unsafe. The rear will start to whip on the way up. Like riding a POGO stick. The shock on my RSTD went on my in NC the ride from NC to OH pulling a trailer was horrible . I put a Hagon shock in the Venture last year . Very easy job to do I would not take a trip like that with a bad shock It may last you . If it doesn't the rest of the trip will not be all that fun

Sorry to hear the sad news. I hope your holding up OK.

Had it all apart again today. Went and had an Avon Cobra installed on the rear Thanks to all your input , I was able to get the shaft separated today in just a few minutes. Sitting on a stool I just put two feet on the diff and pulled Thanks again I am just trying get everything quite as I can
