    Yea, that's what most people do. I have dual Firestiks on my '99 but only one of them is a CB antenna. The other is actually a FM antenna. It looks almost the same as the CB antenna but is for AM/FM. I don't know if they still make it or not.

    Hey...I wasn't trying to get you to give it up. There may very well be a demand for a lower cost alternative. It's entirely up to you. I also don't know that there is enough interest for me to place another order. I have to order at least 72 at a time to have them printed with our logo and still get a decent price.

    Well, it is a fraction of what the ones that I buy cost. There may well be a demand for them. I don't know if it is time to place another order for the VentureRider Logo cups or not but if there is, I'll place another order for them also. I started a new thread for those. Sorry, shouldn't have stepped on your thread here.

    I apologize if I'm stepping on Larry's toes, I don't mean to. The fact is though, I was just discussing this with my wife last weekend that it may be time to place another mug order. I've ordered these twice over the past few years. I think I bought 100 the first time and 72 the second time. These are nowhere near as cheap as what Larry has found though so if you are looking for something less expensive, the ones he found will certainly be a better choice for you. I tell you though, I am a BIG coffee drinker and can tell you for a fact that I have NEVER had a better mug than these JoeMo mugs. The original ones that I got were 12 oz. size. They now have one in a 16 oz. size and it also comes with a tea basket which was requested but not available for the small mugs that I purchased. Anyway, if there is enough interest for another order, I'll get some pricing together and report back. For those of you who are newer and didn't see these mugs, here is a picture of what I got before and also a link to the new larger ones that I would use this time. Thread about last order with some pictures and reviews. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41413 Link to new larger model that I would go with this time. http://highwave.com/joemo-xl-press-release/

    I don't know anything about that cup. It looks OK. I will tell you though, I have NEVER used a better mug than the VentureRider mugs that I have ordered a couple of times. They absolutely do not leak and will keep coffee HOT for about 4 hours. You can't buy them for $5.00 though.

    Bad Venturerider...BAD BAD BAD..... Oh well...at least you are now getting ONE of the colors correct.

    More info would be helpful. What brand are they? If you were a NEW member, then yes, you would be out of line. But being as you have been here for a little while and have made a number of other posts, that is different. It's a thin line but at this time, I don't feel that you've crossed it.

    The E3 is made by Dunlop.

    Another option is the ones from Diamond R Accessories. I've had mine for about 3 years and really do like them. http://www.diamondraccessories.com

    Yes, I know how to do that but use another site to do it. I'm usually not looking for anything in particular though and not wanting to drive all over the place. I just check the ads when there and if I happen to see something that I'm really interested in, it's local to where I am.

    The Tech Library is read only. The reason that you see some responses is that after the crash of the site a few years ago, I forgot to set it back to read only for a while and there were some posts made there. If you have any questions about an article in the tech library, you should just post it to the tech TALK area.

    I agree. I don't think you can always go 50% of retail because most things are always on sale somewhere for far less than retail. I think that 50% is max. I would say that 30-40% would be the best range.

    I always look at the local Craigslist ads when I'm traveling. Last week, I was in Chillicothe and saw an ad for a 1987 Kawasaki Venture 1300. At least there was a picture and it was clearly a Voyager.

    No, sorry. They used to but they discontinued their discount programs about a year ago.
  15. Freebird
    I agree...sounds very fair to me.

    Mine is exactly right. It says that I'm in Chillicothe, OH and that is exactly where I am....at least for another 15 minutes or so.

    Both are re-usable but require a replacement cartridge, $25.00 from the manufacturer. I think the discount is good on either product. If you try to order and find out different, please let us know.

    According to the FAQ on their page, it takes about 35 lbs. to pull the tether and that is enough to prevent that from happening.

    No, cut and paste is the only way unless you know their email address. Then you can click on "thread tools" and "email this page".

    In that case, all you need to do is remove the tube that connects the front and rear carbs on each side and just use 4 vacuum caps to cap off the ports.

    I've tried that before and it just didn't work well for several reasons. First of all, some people don't even put that information in right off the bat. They often edit their profiles and add that information after the welcome thread is posted. In addition to that, I just had a lot of problems trying to get it to work properly. I even tried automatically linking to their profile but it just didn't work out right. About all you can do right now is if you see somebody that you want to know more about, just look them up in the members list.

    I've added a Jake Wilson banner into the rotation at the top right of the page. I kept hearing this place pop up in the forum here and finally placed an order through them myself a while back. They seem to be a great company to deal with and their prices on tires and other accessories appear to be about as good as any. The site will make a small percentage if you use that link when going to their site to make your purchases. I know that several of you use them already and this makes it easy for folks to find them.

    Just wanted to bring this to the top in case any of you are interested. There was a discussion about these in another thread and somebody asked if it would be possible to get a group discount. I contacted the manufacturer and here is what we have at this time. We will offer your members a 15% discount to see if there is any interest. Their code is" Venture" and will be valid for 15 days. This is for an armored air jacket and the reviews are really good. You can read all about them at: http://www.armoredairjackets.com/index.php

    OK. I have been in contact with the manufacturer. They are willing to offer us a short term discount. Here is the note from Stan Conley of Armored Air Jackets: We will offer your members a 15% discount to see if there is any interest. Their code is" Venture" and will be valid for 15 days.

    You know...SOMEBODY here found another shock also but I can't remember now who it was or who made the shock. I will see if I can find the post but have been unsuccessful so far.
