If he can hang there are bennies to doing 20. GOOD LUCK TO HIM:337:p.s. Tell him thank you from an old salt !!!!!!
  13. I rode one a prototype last summer during am MSF trike safety course ! Boy after being on HD's all day what a blast very stable and fast. The Reps that where there were saying that if sales went well they were going to make a long distance touring type ie comfortable seat tour bags ect ... wont trade the Venture on one but my 20 year old daughter loved it (she took the course also and rode it for 3 days).. might just be the future never know ...but for an old guy like me i'll stick to my heavy venture:cool10:
  14. Some of the wingers i ride with here in n.fla use 23
  15. Thanks for the advice. I bought some speed bleeders also ill try both on my next day off ,soon i hope... wasting alot of great riding days
  16. Ive just installed a barons lowering kit to my 2000 Venture... Now i cannt get the rear brake to bleed at all. no presure at the pedal but its pushing air and fuild through. tried a vacuum pump no help,,,, im stumped going out to get some new bleed valves to see if that helps any other suggestion will be greatly wanted.... p.s no leaks that i can find either
  17. I run 404's on a second gen vr and they are a pretty good tire for the price never had a problem above 80 so far. Cannt tell you about wear yet only had them a month or so
  18. About 4 months ago i bought a factory second tinted with the vent. They claimed it had a 1" scar near the left hand side of the vent . I have never found it nor did my buddies that have looked for it. Overall i wouldnt trade it for anyother, have rode in the rain and on hot days beat the stock one hands down ..also i got it for about 75.00 dollars cheaper.. best by ive made for it so far:080402gudl_prv:

Also the barrons lowering kit ...does it change the handleing at all good or bad, at 5'7" i could use about an inch closer to the ground and dont want to mod the seat cause its really comfy...
