    I'll just say this. If you don't want it, let me know and I'll figure out a way to buy it. That's a bargain.

    Sling is correct of course. The ONLY screw that you have to reach though with a long screwdriver is on the left side. You reach it from the right side with a long screwdriver. The same is NOT true for the right side.

    Unless they have recently corrected it, the procedure outlined in the manual is incorrect. Review the writeup here and see if you still have any questions. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=258

    Yes, that should pretty much be the same effect. I think you will find that it will handle better too.

    Yes, Carl at Thunder Valley is a member here and offers us a discount. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43412

    That looks like a good enough price for the tool. I just ordered one. Never hurts to have such things handy.

    Yes you can. No problem at all.

    Thanks for the update Lewis. I know that this must be very hard on her and also on you. Hopefully though, the end results will be well worth it and you will have a new woman there that you MAY have a hard time keeping up with. Please make sure that she knows she is in our prayers.

    This is one of those areas where my test results are just different than Gooses. Before changing to the VMAX rear, I tested this a couple of times by running full tanks of gas on the Interstate in 5th gear and in 4th gear. I got no appreciable difference in gas mileage between the two. Riding two up, pulling a trailer and especially in heavy wind, I've actually gotten better mileage with the VMAX rear and find it to be in a much better power range.

    I found them a bit hard to communicate with when I was trying to put together a group buy for the bags with our logo. I think they make some good stuff but I got frustrated trying to communicate with them and finally just gave up on the plan.

    Folks, I'm sorry but I really didn't realize that so many of you were having problems getting your stuff from him. I will try to contact him but it sounds like maybe I do need to remove him from our vendors area.

    Annie, I actually thought you were kidding but apparently you are serious. I just logged in under your account though and your thanks button is still there. Are you SURE you are looking in the right place? Plus, it doesn't show up on your own posts as you are not allowed to thank yourself. It is there though.

    Folks...they don't require any stretching. The problem is not that they need to be stretched. They are plenty big. You spread them over the lids and use something similar to door edge trim to secure them to the edge. The only difficult part is getting the trim over the leather and the edge of the lids to secure it while keeping the leather smooth and working around the corners.

    Thank you for the opportunity of helping others.

    I have absolutely no talent but I just sent you a donation via PayPal. Hope it helps a bit and that others will send what they can.

    Yes you can. A lot of people here have lowered the front and not lowered the rear. You will probably find that it actually handles a lot better when you raise the rear back up and leave the front lowered.

    I made that mistake also. The shaft will slide all the way in right BESIDE the U-joint instead of in it. Dropped mine into gear and it made an awful noise. I knew immediately what I had done and was very careful after that.

    I'm thinking the beads would work very well. Remember, they have a hole in them for passing the thread through to string them up. The holes in the restrictors on mine are tiny. The beads would probably work great.

    Carl, Let me know if you need me to help. I could order it for you and send it your way if you want me to. Don

    I've installed the lid covers. Yes, you have to remove the bags. Remove the locking hardware and then have fun. They are truly a PAIN to install but it works OK when you finally get all done. Be very careful because you being a man of god, there are likely some words that you will want to use that are not appropriate.

    Thanks folks. Just got home about an hour ago. All the tests went OK as far as I know. Tumor shows to be receding in size and they say that as long as it's getting smaller, then it is contained and not spreading also. So, the news is good for now. Back again in another 6 months. Sure does get old but I suppose it is necessary.

    Eileen and I just checked into our hotel in the Boston area. I have my one year checkup tomorrow to see how the cancer is doing. I'm not too worried about it, I am confident that things are going well. It was a long drive and we are tired but it was an OK trip. Weather is nice and it was a fairly relaxing drive. This was our first long trip in the 2011 Kia Sorento. Driving about 70 MPH most of the time and occasionally running close to 80 before catching myself and slowing down, it got about 27 MPG. I think that pretty decent for a AWD mid sized SUV. I'm very pleased with that. The 2004 Sorento that we traded in only got about 18 MPG under the same driving conditions.

    I just deleted the ad. Some people just never get around to it.

    I don't know what format you need but here is one. If you just want the older silver and black one, you can download a larger version of it here: http://www.venturerider.org/logo/logo.zip or here is another one in .eps format. Not sure which one it is: http://www.venturerider.org/logo/epslogo.zip

    OK...this is quickly turning political. I suspect it will have to be deleted in the very near future.
