    2006 midnight venture
  1. where the 3 ventures all black and a red Kawasaki Vaquero mixed in? that would of been me on the lead Venture.
  2. JC Whitney has a listing for a 2006 XVZ1300 Midnight venture for a rear progressive shock, 420 series. Price is defiantly right. I'll contact progressive and ask them whats up. http://www.jcwhitney.com/420-series-shocks-rear-springs-and-fork-springs/p2017021.jcwx?filterid=d60306y2006j1
  3. I had a look at the web sites for the shocks you listed. A little hard to navigate with the PDF files and slow slow slow computer. Are the shocks air? it looked like they were manual adjusting and no air assist. I also found a site called JC Whitney and they claim to have rear suspension shock for a XVZ1300 royal star venture, Progressive suspension 420 model. If this is the case than Canadian parts like, motovan or Parts Canada will also carry this item. I'm trying the poor mans fix this weekend, half transmission oil, half fork oil 20wt and inject it in the air line. http://www.jcwhitney.com/420-series-shocks-rear-springs-and-fork-springs/p2017021.jcwx?filterid=d60306y2006j1
  4. Exact same happened to me last month. Caused me grief for 3yrs, off and on.
  5. Interesting I noticed a drip under my rear shock last month. And the rubber boot is all oiled now. BUT the air pressure is maintaining the pressure. Thinking I may need a new shock soon. Was there much of a price difference with the shocks and shipping to Canada, reasonable?
  6. Custom Dynamics offer is to good to pass up. Another one is enroute, all is well in the end. Still a mystry how the bottom lens screw could nick the wire. with the new one I'll either use a teflon screw or shrink wrap the metal screw. I'm still amazed at how all the electronics became wonky. especially the speedo needle sweeping back and forth across the screen. Thankyou for the replies. Allan T.
  7. Ended up that it was a fuse. The bottom screw holding the taillight in place, scarred a wire coming out of the NEW LED insert. Saddly Custom Dynamics will not issue a refund, only a replacement at my shipping cost. So back to the stock 1157 bulb and swollow the $100 led tail light and chaulk it up as lesson learned.
  8. This is getting odder, I went out again and reinstalled the 1157 stock bulb. turned the key and the neutral light came on but the speedometer needle kept sweeping back and forth across the speedometer and a buzzing sound is coming from the fairing, reminds me of the key left in the ignation of a 70-80's car.
  9. Installed a Custom Dynamics 100 LED Genesis II tail light. turned key over and it made some flashs, than the lights came on BUT when I activate the rear brake light, foot or hand, I have no brake lights. Just tail lights. Also noted my green nuteral light is now out and the turn signals turn on but no flash. Also noted the clicking sound when you activate the brake (sounds like a relay) is not sounding. I reinstalled the stock 1157 and no fix. still the same. Any ideas??
  10. Like Bubba said Search "starglide" here on this site & you will get a few hits on how to do it. Thanks Bubba for that, by the way
  11. WOW,, that looks impressive. Different seat u used. CB is located under the trunk I gather?
  12. Has any one ever removed the rear trunk on there venture? just woundering what it would look like & how hard to remove it. Pics would be nice.
  13. available in water buffalo jigged bone, water buffalo horn, stag horn, micarta and Xtra. Choice of high-carbon stainless or carbon steel. http://www.grohmannknives.com/pages/outdoor.html
  14. turning the clamp away from my toes will be the answer. (for a size 13 boot of course!) Thanks for the replys.
