    There are usually a lot of Corbin Backrests listed on Ebay. HERE Prices for a good one are in the $100 buck range....

    I'll go ahead and put you down for one Charles. The deadline for the group list is the 20th, but you can go ahead and send your payment via paypal anything you'd like. If you've never used paypal, I can send you an invoice from this end, but I'll need you to PM me your email address. Since the 2ndGens don't have a battering monitoring system the 545 should be a plug and play....

    I just checked with a local independant shop and he charges $20 bucks off the bike. $40 bucks is way too much. Cycle Gear also changes tires. Check with them if you have a shop in your local area. At $135 dollars to R&R the reaar wheel the shop is saying they don't want to do it.... That's crazy.

    Boy, you don't mess around...do you. Glad you two are OK.. It coulda been a lot worse. That medium you hit could have been hard. Soft grass is a friend. Pull what you can off it, and give it to someone who needs a motor.. BTW Brad wanna take a trip to California??? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/528456956.html

    With everything else hot I think it's your kill switch. I can't remember, but I think with the kick stand down it won't even turn over??? If you toggled the kill switch on and off a couple of times while messing with it on the side of the road it may have cleaned off the contacts a little more and she stated. I think...???

    Just wanted to thank every one who took the time to search their stash, but I decided to bite the bullet and get the one I have welded up. This one didn't have any rust and had the helmet lock plates. Got it back yesterday afternoon. Looks pretty good. I saw that '92 rack listed on Ebay this morning, but when I enlarged the pic it looked pretty bad. So just as well I went the direction I did. I want to get this bike put back together in time for this summer, and I'm a fanatic about replacing parts that are broken, and anything 'rusty or dusty'.... Many Thanks:thumbsup2:

    I'd give 'm a couple more years unless you have a system to secure them safely in the saddle. Basically side rails. My youngest started when she was 8, and boy did she have a death grip on me..... The oldest at 12 lays back in the 'lookin cool' pose......

    Just a friendly BUMP!!, and to let everyone know that we have more on the list than originally needed for a group buy. We still have about 12 days to go, so there's plenty of time for others to the join in. I just want to add that we have another member who has taken up the lance, for whatever reason, and is pushing everyone to purchase their batteries from a particular Ebay dealer. That's his choice, and your's too if you choose to do so. The Ebay dealer had the PC680MJ battery listed at $85.00 Buy-it-now, and there were 4 available. This is way below 2007 dealer cost. I have talked to the suppier about this, and they feel it could only be old stock, as the 2006 dealer price would have made the $85.00 possible. Speaking from experience in early 2006 I purchased two 680MJ batteries from the supplier, and they cost right at $95.00 delivered to the door. Shipping charges were $9.00, and they've only gone up .05¢ since then. I'm not making a dime on these batteries, and I thought doing something like this would be a good thing for the group. Call it a VR buying syndicate if you will. The batteries from the group buy will be very fresh, and any warrantee issues can be addressed directly with the West Coast supplier on your invoice. Whichever way you decide to go will be OK by me

    I think one of the reasons milage improves during the winter is that you can pack more fuel into the tank. Gas will expand and contract with the temperature. I know it's stored in underground tanks, but once it hits the outside temp things start to happen. And then again maybe I'm halucinating again.....

    That sidecar looks an awful lot like the ones put on by this company. http://www.texassidecars.com/

    The remotes can be found on Ebay occassionally, but they are pricey. If you don't plan on doing a lot of 2-up riding it might not be worth getting one. A slap up along side the helmet works pretty good on gettiing your attention..... Another option is get the passenger there own Ipod. That way she doesn't need to be listening to what you like and visa versa. That and the head slap should work.

    When I bought my first Venture,and while poking around the internet for information, I found the Venturers Board and their tech library. I then found the Venturerider Board from a link posted on the Venturers site. I don't know if it's still there or not, but.....Thanks!!

    Here's another thought. Just how much weight is on the back tire. In the name of science, somebody needs to put the back end of the bike on a scale and actually see what the rear end weights without anyone on it. On a trailer with a 10,000 GVW the weight is shared by all 4 tires. In other words each tire needs to be 2500# rated. Same thing with our bikes. I'd be very interested in finding out just how much weight we are putting on the rear tire. The factory specs state a max load of about 400#'s, but the weight of the bike at 750-800#s, and the 400 pound load, doesn't come close to the 1500# total rating of both tires. Granted there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration such as axels, and bearings, but I don't think we come close to overloading a rear tire with an 800#+/- rating.
