That sounds like a blast. I see a few ways around the cities to. Risky time of year coming from SD so ill have to watch the weather.
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.

But depends on the weather too that late in the year
Hope you can make it.

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

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

Go to Custom Dynamics and look for Run, turn brake adapters, or follow this link, http://www.customdynamics.com/tailconversion_kit.htm.
Also look at their LED taillight boards for the Yamaha products.
If you go this way please consider using one of my breakout "T" harnesses found in the classified section so you do not have to cut any wires on your bike.
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
