You could but it is really unnecessary. I would just take it off or leave it as is. It won't hurt anything being there.

Nope, there is no Road Glide this year. The Ultra Plus has the exhaust port water cooled though.

Yes, and that is something that I've thought about over the years and is the main reason that this has remained, for the most part, a Venture and Royal Star site. I don't mind what Big Tom is suggesting here and don't think he is suggesting that we change the focus of VentureRider.org

Now that might be pushing it a bit.

I'm OK with the plan to but just a small correction.....the Spyder is NOT Yamaha. Just to clarify...I'm not suggesting that because they are not a Yamaha that we shouldn't do this. Just correcting a statement. I don't care that they are not Yamaha's.

You don't need the fancy wrench if you just want to try tightening it up a bit. Take a look at this thread in the tech library. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=511

Not cheap but I can see where it could really come in handy.

They do look like some kind of air deflector but I've never seen any like that. Baker's wings are plastic. Not sure about that mounting either.

In my opinion, you shouldn't touch the fuel/air mixture unless you have the problem gas analyzers to do it. Unless it's already been messed with and it doesn't make any difference. Most folks sync the carbs at around 1,000 RPM. Some argue that it is better to sync them at higher RPMS but according to the manual and my personal experience, around 1,000 does just fine.

The short answer is NO. There is no guaranteed fix. Swapping the clutch basket with an "I" version has been known to reduce it, move it to a different RPM range, or in rare cases, pretty much eliminate it completely. Results vary.

That could be any windshield. Those are aftermarket vents and many of us have installed them in various shields.

Heather, Thank you so much for your post. I know that you are going through a very difficult time and this had to be hard for you. Please know that Steve had a lot of friends here. I have met and ridden with him a couple of times and communicated with him often. He was not only a member here but a friend to many. He will not be forgotten. Don

Here was my first one. My brother and I actually shared this first one. Not for long though. I bought my own shortly thereafter. This was a Honda S90. We shared it for a couple of months and then I bought a Harley 250 Sprint and the 90 became fully his. I think I was 14 at the time.

Folks...Miles is gone for personal reasons. Please let it go.

I've looked for years and not found anything. I even talked to a company about making us some but the prototype fee was $10,000.00. Just wasn't enough interest to pursue it.

See this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=80908

OK...it IS a little pricey but that is really a nice product. Now my helmets have the dual shields with a clear outside shield and a flip down tinted sunshield on the inside. The entire helmet was cheaper than this shield but still....it IS cool.

HEY....Harley has some nice rain gear but no tall sizes. I'm finding riding pants and jackets in tall sizes that have waterproof liners. Not sure if that is the same as a rain suit though. Some of them are sized to be worn over street clothes though. They are also expensive as compared to regular rain gear.

I need some new rain gear. I have been using Frogg Toggs and they are OK but I want to step up to something a bit more substantial this time. The problem is, I can't seem to find anything with a long enough inseam. I find some tall sizes at some outdoor type stores but they don't have the heat shields on the legs to protect against hot exhausts and etc. Any of you know of anything?

No, sorry but we do not. I highly recommend them though.

Is that the name? OEM Cycle? Never heard of them personally.

Yes, I've looked at that list before. You will see that MOST of them are marinas. There are a handful of others but nothing really close enough to me to make it worth the drive.

It just reaches a point where you have to decide how bad you want it. I don't want it that bad. I'll just suffer through the ethanol. Drive 25 or so miles, pay a LOT more for gas at the marina prices around here, wheel it back to the truck, load it into the truck, drive 25 or so miles back home. No thanks.

All grades in Ohio also have ethanol. About the only gas you can find without it is at marinas and there are no pumps there except at the docks. Long walks to fill up a 5 gallon can and walk back to the vehicle with it.
