    Don't know if this will help but I just layed my Midnight Venture down and I have the Utopia backrest for sale. Also the Dyna 3000 ignition is for sale. Wayne

    I had a cement truck cut me off. It was eat the truck or the pavment, I took the pavment.

    The tab on one of the ends of mine was broken when I got it. I got some epoxy for PVC and a small piece of copper mosquito screen. Stuck it back together and used the screen as backing, filed it down to fit, drilled the hole out. So far it is solid. I hate paying that much money for a piece of plastic! I'm not sure that will help, it is what I would try first. Wayne

    I got the PCW V-Max compitition spring kit and put in the new friction disks. I love it! Wayne

    Thank you all again, I will change out the fluid in both clutch and brakes. Goose I would love to ride to DFW just to meet with you. I have seen a few Ventures here in Austin but on the road so haven't been able to chat.

    I have the E-3s on my 03 venture, they handle well and wear good. I will stay with them. I'm on my second set. As far as the noise, it mixes with the other noises and voices in my head so no problem.

    Hi all, my 03 venture has always jumped when I first put it in gear after sitting over night. The clutch fluid is full, I have "pumped" the clutch before putting it in gear, no change. It is like all the oil is pushed out of the clutch disks and plates while it is sitting for a while. Once I take off, no more problems for the rest of the day. I installed the PCW spring kit and all new disks. Should I be concerned?? Wayne

    Yup....checked what I was doing a few times, kept thinking I missed something (to easy). The hardest part was removing the old gasket. Now I have to find out about wiring for a trailer. Wayne

    Just finnished installing the new clutch in my Venture. New clutch disks and PCW HD spring kit. Whoever did the last job had 3 disks in wrong and the pressure plate not lined up. Not sure if that makes all that much differance but it doesn't jerk when I put it into gear now. The clutch lever isn't much different than it was before. This was an easy install! I HAD to buy new tools to do the job right.....right. Once again thank you all very much for all the info on the clutch. Wayne

    Thank you all very much!! I love this place! I will be replacing the clutches soon. Again, thank you. Wayne

    This is great! I have the PCW hd spring kit and new plates. Was getting out of the way of a car and when I twisted the wick, engine reved and took a second to catch. I got out of the way of the car but now the seat has a hole in it ;-). This is the first time to replace clutches in this bike. Do I have to remove the exhaust to get into the clutch? Is there anything I need to watch out for? Wayne

    I never used to wear one. A few years back I decided to start wearing a helmet. Now it is 100%. I lost a close friend that got hit by someone crossing lanes to get off the hiway. He was wearing one of the "German war helmets" with the snap clip to hold it on. When he was hit the snap came loose and the helmet took off. Except for the head damage Dick only had brusises. Had he had a good helmet on he would be alive today. Wear a good helmet. Wayne
