    Do not know what you are riding, but I saw one in the classifieds earlier. Update - I see now in your picture that you riding a Venture. I bet a lot of models use the same wheel ? But not sure the yr of yours.

     

     

    I'm sorry it is a 2005 rsv.

    front wheel gone

    Posted · Edited by Quicksilver

    My front wheel bearings disintegrated and wormed out my front wheel. I bought new bearings but when I removed the old bearings the wheel and sleeve were worn and wormed out. So I guess I will have to replace the wheel. Anyone have any ideas besides the dealer. I do not know what they cost but I do know there are cheper places than the dealer. :confused24:

     

    Thanks Quicksilver

    Donlop tire question

    in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)

    Posted

    Hello everyone:

    I need to buy tires and I think that I would like to try the dunlop elite 3. I went to the dunlop site and they recommended 150/80-16 for the front, And MV85B15 for the rear.

    But so far all I can find is 150/80H-16 for the front, And MV85HB15 or MV85H15 for the rear.

    Can anyone tell me the difference between the HB or the H, Or do I even need to worry about it. :doh:

    I get brain dead sometimes and over think things sorry if it sounds like a dumb question. :Avatars_Gee_George:

    Middle Eastern Oil

    Subject: Fw: Buy USA Gas ONLY from now on...

     

     

     

     

    WHERE TO BUY YOUR USA-GAS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON--

     

    Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.

     

     

    It might even be good for us!

     

     

     

     

    The Saudis are boycotting American goods.

     

     

     

     

    We should return the favor.

     

     

     

     

    An interesting thought is to boy cott their GAS.

     

     

    Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Nothing is more frustrating
    than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends.

     

     

     

     

    I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.

     

     

     

     

    These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

     

     

     

     

    Shell......................... 205,742,000 barrels

     

     

    Chevron/Texaco.........144,332,000 barrels

     

     

    Exxon /Mobil..............130,082,000 barrels

     

     

    Marathon/ Speedway..117,740,000 barrels

     

     

    Amoco........................62,231,000 barrels

     

     

     

     

    Citgo Gas comes from South America, from a Dictator who hates Americans.

     

     

     

     

    Do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (Oil is now $90-$95 a barrel)

     

     

     

     

    Here are some large companies that

     

     

    DO NOT
    import Middle Eastern oil:

     

     

     

     

    Sunoco...............
    0 barrels

     

     

    Conoco...............
    0 barrels

     

     

    Sinclair................
    0 barrels

     

     

    BP/Phillips..........
    0 barrels

     

     

    Hess..................
    0 barrels

     

     

    ARC0. ..................
    0 barrels

     

     

    Also: Pilot, Flying J, Love's, RaceTrac, Valero

    All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
