    Hey, I have 12000 family members,,, but they can't all come,,,, OOOOOOOO that would be a party. This is just for VentureRiders or VentureRiders wantabes. The immediate family thing comes later. So to get 60 riders (and passengers) that will be the point. Mostly we don't don't reply very early,,,as seems to be normal in the VR circle, so I'm not tooo concerned yet, but by Monday I will have to decide if it's a go. So, if you all can plan that far ahead,, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL INDEED.

    Here it is November and a beautiful afternoon, so I took the time off and went for a ride. Even had to fill up the tank again,,,,, maybe some more yet before SNOW.

    I always get excellent fuel mileage,,,, that's one thing I like about the Venture,,, so far it has always got me to the next service station before I ran out. Can't beat that!!!

    Thanks for the info,,, I will get the proper size and thread,,,,, so now is there anybody that wants these? Maybe I should start a new thread entitled: Group Buy?

    I found that SS metrics were hard to find but not the SS10\24. So I experimented with the 10\24s. The threads seems to go in perfectly and the screw holds tight. Going this route, both sides would have the same screw, and they would be stainless so less chance to strip out the phillips head. Open for discussion. Carl

    Did I forget to say that???? Ok I stand corrected

    If you look at the picture, you can see 2 plates on the end of the shaft with pins between them. This is part of the shift mechanism. The ones on the right tend to have the bent tabs, that hold them in place, bend out and so release the pins, which makes it impossible to shift. The one on the left doesn't have the tabs. The pins are set it the casing and can't come out,, problem solved.

    Ok, I think I got it done,,,, so far. Engine cover plates, both sides, 18ga mirror stainless, laser cut. Bracket for left side, 12ga plain stainless. You can't see it so no need for mirror. 4 x stainless 10\24 screws. You'll need to tap out the right side to #24 thread. 2 x1\2" nylon spacers to adjust the right side out so that it fits flat Shipping to US or Canada If I get one order the cost will be $150.00 for the package. If I get 10 orders the cost drops to $105.00

    Kick stand down or up???? With the kick stand down it won't start!

    Next time if you have only one bar, set the bike up straight and you'll get gas. We pushed mine around the back yard a couple of times with a dead battery and a low tank. One bar is enough if it's up straight, but no works on side stand.

    Found what he might look like

    Alright,,, go out and have a good time while we tend to Big Tom and all his difficulties. Just don't forget to come back now y'ear???

    That's been done before. Some years ago I needed to have some antibiotics. So the doctor asked me what I usually used and I told him ampicillian. (something like that). Anyways, he wrote out the perscription and told me it was a new drug and might work better. He also said that he had just recently been informed about it from a salesman, and then during the following conversation he said he was hoping to go out golfing with this salesman. I went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription and it came to $35.00. I nearly jumped over the counter, but left the prescription there and went back to see my doctor who then apologized and wrote out another for ampicillian,, $8.00, thank-you very much.

    Carl hasn't got it all figured out yet,,, but we mean to get you to Niagara Falls, get a good view, enjoy the ride and have a good time. Just how that will happen is still in the planning stages,,, but it will happen. Plan is for Monday,,,, so far.

    Instead of heated gloves, try going two or three sizes larger on insulated gloves. I found that my hands were getting cold, even with insulated gloves, but I had kept to my size,,, medium. I went out a bought XXL insulated gloves and now have no problem. I thought that the gloves would be too big, but found that not to be the case. They fit very well. The trick is that the larger gloves don't tighten over your fingers and so keep the cold at bay.

    Big Tom,,,, I really thought the better of you,,, now we just have to start calling you Little Tom. Big boys take these things in stride,,,, it makes men out of them. What you need is an attitude adjustment. Tomorrow morning when you get out of bed say: I'm a new man today!!!!! Give me some snot to push around!!!!!

    You could drive a stake into the ground and then ground the tuner from there. You'll need about 3' to 4' into the ground. The other thing to try is to run the antenna outside,, might give you enough reception to overcome the buzz. Also, check to make sure the fluorescent is grounded,,, can make a difference. It didn't for me in my shop, but it make work for you.
  21. Marcarl
    Nope not me,,,, must be Tom,,, he's been alone toooo long!!!!

  24. Marcarl
