    I don't get on here near as much as I would like....but if you folks had to deal with all these durn pygmies as I do you'd understand why! Boomer....who sez most folks here are glad to hear less from me anyhow.

    The Dealer Service Manager told me it is nothing more than 2 pieces of metal plate roughly 2 1/2 " by 2 1/2 inches with a 18mm hole in the center of each plate. These sit directly inside the trunk over the mounting holes. The kit also includes a rubber bushing which fits under the trunk and over the mounting nut and longer mounting screws (2). My guess is that the hard ABS trunk sitting directly on the hard chromed frame has a lot to do with the damage being done to the trunks. I didn't have rubber bushings on hand so I used the thick pieces of belt leather under my trunk....Bear in mind this is just a temp fix for my trunk until my new one arrives at the Dealer's.

    The inside 2 rear trunk hold-down bolts recently broke right through the trunk base on my 06 Midnight Venture. Looking things over revealed that my trunk does NOT have the re-inforcing kit which Yammi has for this design flaw. Here's what I did to fix the problem. A trip to NAPA to pick up 2 large flat washers with 18mm holes in the center of the washers....a Plastic weld product by VersaChem called PLASTIC WELDER....rough grit emery cloth. Procedure: 1) Roughen up the ABS with the emery cloth where you intend to use the Plastic Weld. 2) Shoot Plastic Welder directly onto the area of use...mix quickly and spread over area of repair. 3) Imbed flat washer on top of Plastic Welder being careful to center the hole in washer directly over the screw mounting hole on trunk hold-down chrome frame. Allow this to set-up overnight for full strength of Plastic Weld to form. (Product sets-up in 15 minutes if needed for quick roadside repair) The next day.....Use remaining Plastic Weld to COVER the flat washers (Do NOT cover the washer holes!!) and trunk area in a 3"x 3" area. Allow this to set up for 24 hours. The next day.....Cut 2 pieces of leather from an old belt....Punch out a hole in the center of each piece of leather large enough to allow the trunk mounting bolt to go through easily. Install each piece of leather between the trunk underside and the top of the bolt-holdown nut. Install a 17mm bolt and snug down everything. For this I used 2 leftover bolts from my saddlebags...(I had these when I installed the improved trunk bolts with knobs last year) When all was done I then installed 2 NyLoc nuts on the trunk hold-down bolts and ran them up snug. This will prevent the hold-down bolts from vibrating loose again IMHO. Note: A Yammi Dealer is ordering me a NEW lower trunk as the bike is still under Warranty. I did this repair mainly for a temporary fix and to test this Plastic Welder product. So far so good on the repair!! The Plastic Welder is rated for 3500psi strength!! For anyone who has a Venture out-of-Warranty you might want to consider doing this to repair your trunk. Boomer.....who sez if ya sniff the fumes from this stuff it puts a pretty color to what yer looking at for about 5 minutes....but it don't give ya the munchies.

Boomer....who sez if ya leave hungry it is your own fault....and I am NOT responsible for any pygmies who piggy-back a ride.

  11. BoomerCPO
    Everything good in my life I consider to be a blessing from God and darn grateful for it all.....If it's bad then I blame it on the pygmies and exercise my vocal profanity. Boomer....who's getting this cussing down purty good lately.

    Hey Brad....Ain't it great that you can bar-b-q down here in the middle of January and NOT stand inna snow bank to get the vittles done? Boomer....who'd rather have sand in his crotch than snow up to his a$$ any old day.
  13. BoomerCPO
    I'm gonna do my best to be there Annie!! The ONLY thing that might prevent me from making it is my oldest son's HS Graduation....the date for that has not yet been determined as the official date is not locked in until Winter is over in Noo England. (The amount of snow days they have impacts on the School schedule) Boomer...the guy who brought extra TP and pygmies to Don's.
  14. BoomerCPO
    I'll go with camping near the pond if I can make it up there....We had a great ride up for the last MD at Don's. Boomer....who sez he never heard so many frogs fornicating like he did next to Don's pond....and it drowned out the heavy snorer's too.

  19. BoomerCPO
    Pack along a dozen or so pygmies....train em to drink beer....give em address to ANY Bar....watch em PUSH that Venture to speeds beyond the top reading of yer speedo. Boomer...who sez 12 inch legs onna bunch of pygmies equals a LOT of horsepower.

Of course I'll call ya to let you and Lonna know if I'm on my way....and of course take any last minute orders for pygmies. Boomer....who hopes everyone has a great Thganksgiving no matter where they are for the day!!

    True or not there's nothing wrong with reminding riders to use caution at any/all gas stations and fueling up. Several years ago I witnessed a rider being killed when a cager ran into him and his scoot as he was filling up his bike. Too often we riders take it for granted that nothing bad can/will happen to us when we are out there. IMHO any reminder which helps us refocus on maintaining our safety is a good thing. Boomer.....who sez hauling drunken pygmies around can keep yer pucker-factor high and tight.
  23. BoomerCPO
    For what its worth here is the procedure I use when gassing up the scoot..... 1) Turn Ignition switch to OFF....And turn OFF cell phone. 2) Dis-mount from bike. 3) Get pump ready to discharge fuel. 4) Remove gas cap from bike tank and insert fuel nozzle carefully. 5) Pump fuel needed to fill bike tank. 6) When tank is FULL remove fuel pump nozzle and carefully re-install gas cap. 7)Place fuel nozzle back on fuel pump. 8) Do rapid EXIT from gas station before pygmies can remount scoot. Note: Never park the scoot close enough to the fuel pump so as to make it difficult for you to exit from the side of the scoot rapidly if need be. Boomer....who sez keep an eye out for cagers who may NOT see you/scoot parked next to gas pump!

    Taking action on this as a private citizen is all well and good!!! I would NOT expect the Patriot Guard to become involved in any way with this issue. That is NOT what we are about folks. With Respect to all.......Boomer
  25. BoomerCPO
    Dang Kenny that really is a bummer !!! Here's hoping ya just left the wallet on the top of the gas pump and a honest person turned it in to the gas station clerk. A few years ago I had that happen to me and I take extra precautions with that darn wallet now....I never carry the wallet in my back pocket....the inside pocket of my leather vest makes for a snug secure location. Hope this turns out well for you buddy !!! Boomer....who has waterboarded the pygmies and they are innocent of any wallet-grabbing act.
