    I bought a spare set of the fins off Ebay a while back. Am planning to try my hand at diamond cutting them but haven't found the time or energy yet. Maybe one of these days.

    You are lucky. Though the first gens may be closer. I've never seen a RSV that wasn't off.

    I've answered both of your emails but am not getting responses back so I don't know if you got my answers or not. You say that you are getting a security token error. That happens when your pictures are way too large. You need to re-size them to no more than 640 x 480 and maximum 200,000 bytes.

    Interesting concept and I think a pretty good idea but at what looks like about $385.00 in US Dollars, I think I'll pass. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/reevu/msx1/

    OK folks, I had plenty of time so had held off on placing the orders but will be doing so on Tuesday. I was just giving it a bit more time just in case anybody else decided to join in on the shirts. So, you still have another day if you have decided that you want shirts. See the first post of this thread for details. And...and I MEAN it this time...this is it...the FINAL call...I mean the LAST final call.

    I got lucky a couple or three years ago and picked up a new set of TD mufflers off Ebay for $50.00. I know that Rick Butler also put the tips on his Venture mufflers though and I think did it the same way that Ahoutzer did. I think he said though that he used a punch to make the holes. He then used the tap and that way had the full depth of the punched metal to tap.

    I use that security key also. It's a pain sometimes but sure helps to better secure your account. PayPal also helped me once. I have purchased a whole house generator for $2400.00 or so. Turns out that the seller didn't have one. He claimed they were on back order even though the auction said "in stock". Long story short, it was going to be at least 2 months before he could ship. I canceled and requested a refund. He wanted to charge me a very high "re-stocking fee". hmmmm....for a product he didn't HAVE? Anyway, I got PayPal involved and within 24 hours I had a full refund. I would much rather deal with buyers who accept PayPal and I would rather they pay with PayPal when I am selling.

    You can buy a battery with the hole in it for the sensor or you can go with a newer technology type battery and use this method to bypass it. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=489

    Here you go: http://www.edsets.com or here is a direct link to the adapters: http://www.edsets.com/edsets_adapters

    The wire you are talking about is the battery level indicator. It does not measure the voltage, only the acid level in the cell. If you have a red battery warning light, it is telling you that the acid level is low. That battery might charge but if it's only reading 7 volts, it may well be shot. Doesn't hurt to try though.

    I guess the old adage is true... Beauty is in the eyes of the beerholder...er...I mean beholder.

    For any of you who are worried about the hitch strength, mounting points, etc. There is an alternative. The hitches that most of us here use simple replace the bar between the saddle bags. I think it is more than sufficient for most of us. If you are pulling a heavier trailer though and think that something stronger is needed, there is the HitchDoc hitch. It mounts completely differently and I think is a much stronger design. I think it is overkill for what most of us need and is more difficult to install but maybe a better choice for some with very heavy trailers.

    I received the following note from one of our members regarding the Carbon_One lift adapter. Just a little heads up for those of you who might run into a problem with it. The lift adapter is almost a must have item for our bikes but this may be one case where you won't use it. "Today I installed leveling links and ran into trouble by using the Carbon One adapter. With the adapter I was unable to get one of the bolts out of the way. I had to lower the bike - remove the adapter, jack it up again, and then it was easy."

    I got an email from him right before he left. He said that his internet provider would be changing and that his old email would be no good. He'll get the new one setup ASAP. I hope all is going well for them.

    Here is a tech article that might help. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=492

    That looks good....but I like even MORE subtle. Here are a couple of examples of what I would like.

    I agree guys, I'm talking about the real ghost flames. The ones that you almost have to look twice to see if they are really there.
  21. Freebird
    Well...I guess I'm one of the few but I LOVE ghost flames and hope to have some one of these days. Every time I get a quote though, it comes in around $2,000.00 and I don't want them THAT bad.

    Well first of all, it's not a big deal. You don't have to pull the carbs to shim these needles. Just pull the side covers off and you can get to them. Secondly, I really don't think that shimming the needles is such a big deal. It is supposed to give a bit quicker throttle response and I think it does but nothing major.
  23. Freebird
    Yes, here is the thread though. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46931&highlight=comfort Glad you are going to make it.

    WOW...it's been a LONG time since I've done this. If I remember correctly, you will remove the c-clip. I think there are two washers under it. Then remove one of them and slide it up the other end. How about it folks? Don't let me tell him wrong. Am I remembering this correctly?

    Folks, I think it is a great idea and would even load it into my own unit but I just don't have the time to put it all together. If somebody wants to take the project and run with it, I'm all for it. If not, I promise I will put it on my "to do" list but it will likely be a while until I get to it.
