    Sounds like a good deal. You know that we don't care what you ride, just ride it and enjoy it.

    That wouldn't be too much trouble. I would like to hear more feedback on it though. What kind of mods are we talking about and etc.?
  3. Freebird
    I don't know of any way they could be. They are a series of metal bafflers, no packing material that I am aware of and now way to get to it if there was.

    Yea, I used to post where I would be but got out of the habit. Sorry, will let you know next time. I'm in Ft. Wayne tonight though.

    I don't understand your explanation at all. The spread is the same whichever way they are mounted. You just have more at the top and I have more at the bottom. Same spread either way.

    Yea, if it does indeed have anything like a "bump switch", it is news to me. I've never heard of it. I have had mine turn off when hitting bad bumps and etc. but just assumed that it was the brake pedal bumping the switch or something.

    That is REAL close to the truth. I'm actually in South Bend, IN this week. Will be in Cannon Falls, MN next week for a sales meeting. Then when I get home from that, I have to go back to Boston for another 6 month checkup. Then after that....heck I don't even know yet.

    Folks, I'm getting emails every day asking if it is possible to join or renew memberships by credit or debit card for those without PayPal accounts. Please note, you do NOT need a PayPal account in order to pay with a credit/debit card or an e-check. If you do not want to use PayPal but DO want to use your credit or debit card, you can simply click on "settings" at the upper right corner of the page, scroll down until you see "Paid Subscriptions" in the left menu. Click on that link. You will then see a page that says "VentureRider Support" with a drop down box on the right side. Click on the arrow on that drop down box and select the only option, 1 year - $12.00. The click the button that says "Order". That will open a new page. Click the button that says "Order Using PayPal". There will be a link on that page to pay using a credit or debit card without a PayPal account. In that case, they are just the credit card processor. That will open another page. From that page, you can login and pay with your PayPal account OR you can select the option that says "Don't have a PayPal Account"? Click "Continue" beside that option and you will get a page where you can use your credit or debit card or e-check without a PayPal account. In this case, I am simply using PayPal as my credit card processor. In the attached image, I have circled the part that I am talking about. Thanks, Don

    Should be working correctly now.

    I see ALL posts. Yea, I'll try to figure it out.

    Thanks for bringing this up. I had been meaning to post the same thing but keep forgetting.

    See that wasn't so hard to do was it? All we need is a good woman to boss around.

    LOL...now THAT is a good point. Seriously though, I really am sorry to hear that she will have to go through more surgery. Please let her know that we are all thinking of her.

    That map was hosted at Frappr. It appears that their site is gone. I did a search and didn't find much about it but even their home page doesn't load now. I'll remove the link. To be honest, I probably haven't looked at it in a year or more.

    OK...well I'm not 100% sure on the details but it had something to do with the oiling systems on the old bikes. They used some kind of splash system or something and the chaps kept the oil off the riders pants. At least I THINK that is what I read somewhere long ago.
  16. Freebird
    I know. Do you want me to answer or wait and see who else knows.
  17. Freebird
    It appears so. It seems that my link is working. Not sure what you mean by you have to be logged in. I browse Ebay all the time and only login if I want to watch something or buy something. When I'm browsing and want to copy and paste something to here, I just highlight and copy the address and paste it here.

    WOW....the Squid Boy and the Monkey Boy both in the land of my youth. What a sad society that would allow such a thing to happen. I had never given up the idea of moving back to my place of birth someday, the proud LONE STAR STATE...I don't know now though...I just don't know........

    I would fight the entire thing. In a nice but firm way, tell him that his answers are not acceptable and that you want them to contact Yamaha. Tell him that if the answers are the same, that you will contact Yamaha.

    Yea, Grisolm said that he bought it.

    Let's try this link. I THINK we finally figured out that the links don't work if you are logged into ebay when you copy and paste. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_rdc=1&item=130386468619&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3907.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D130386468619%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&viewitem=

    The chrome around the ignition switch is aftermarket. You can find them on Ebay and several parts places. The chrome switch housings though are factory stock items that were including on the Midnight Venture. I don't know of any aftermarket solutions for that.

    I have been led to believe, but have not confirmed, that the VMAX does have heavier valve springs. Dyna actually recommends installing VMAX valve springs if you want to set the rev limiter higher than 7250.

    Thanks for the warnings folks. I bought some of those too. Haven't installed them yet and now probably won't bother doing so.
  25. Freebird
    You do realize that's not a new Venture model right? That link takes you to a '09 Tour Deluxe.
