  1. Question, I got an error on my Paypal subscription saying "Error, try again later". As I tried again later, I got notification I paid twice!! Can you refund one of my payments????
  2. Hey all, I have done some searches on this topic but many are rather old. I am pretty sure what I have here is a stock seat on an '08 RSV. Its showing wear on the seams and I know I'm gonna get a wet Butte eventually. Are there good aftermarkets out there that are good for just the driver seat. Should I just take it to an upholsterer? Its still really comfortable, especially with the adjustable backrest. (Dont get me started on the stock V-Star seat on my 07 1100, those SUCK)
  3. New guy here, but I JUST finished a full rebuild on my 08 Venture due to a leaking seat. To confirm, I pulled the carb set and bench tested it with a test tank in the garage rafters for a couple PSI fuel pressure. Sure enough, one of the 4 started dripping out of the overflow tubes. I wont tell you its fun rebuilding these, far from it. Each carb is relatively simple to clean especially if you have a ultrasonic cleaner OR buy a few cans of carb cleaner! Putting them back together as an assembly, that's the chore! Its nice to have an extra set of hands or some zip ties for temp holding as you need to engage like 4 contact points while getting the butterfly valve actuators under an itty bitty spring. Critical to have a carb sync gauge set too.
