Have a similar situation in my town (town of 12,000) AbitibiBowater announced they are closing the newsprint mill here after 99 years in production approx 1000 direct jobs. Its the only major employer other than health care in this area. I think this is gonna be a hard storm to ride out!! Keith

I bought a few decals from South Seattle Sports Plaza a year or so ago. I looked on their site but don't see them any more. The part number for the larger decal is GFT-STICK-ER-02.......maybe a dealer can search for them with the number if its the size you are looking for. Hope this helps ! Keith

Lowering front of genII Venture
KeithR replied to JerryK's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Jerry Its not something that I have done but I did have this info that I kept from somewhere. This is an easy, free modification. It gives the same effect as raising the rear as far as handling, but you sit lower to the ground, my opinion is it looks better without the rear end sitting lower and the pipes don't drag as easy, and on my one tank of fuel, I managed 175 miles before hitting reserve, an increase of about 15 miles, so I believe the fuel pickup possibly may be improved. 1. Get the bike on a lift, or at least where you can get the weight off the front end. This is the key to making it and easy job. Removing the load on the front lets you move the shock up or down easy and line up the top triple tree for easy removal and replacement. 2. Cover the front fender and the tank with good padding (lessons learned in the past). 3. Carefully, remove the plastic chrome cover over the windshield screws, 2 bolts with a 3mm allen wrench. 4. Remove the windshield, 6 screws, 3mm allen wrench. 5. Remove the front outer fairing, 6, 3mm allen screws, and last, the 5mm allen screw under the headlight. 6. Remove two 12mm nuts that hold the inner fairing, behind the top of the headlight, a 3/8 extension works great, and two 5mm allen bolts, one at each side just behind the bottem of the headlight. 7. With those 4 bolts out, the fairing will come forward several inches. I rolled up a towell and stuffed behind the fairing to hold it away from the forks, you only need 3-4 inches. 8. Put extra padding on the tank and remove the handlebars with a 6mm allen wrench. working I my basement, I actually put a hook in the floor joists overhead, so I could suspend the handlebars in midair and work around them. I would go ahead and remove the front plastic cable guides from the handlebars. They will be in the way of getting to the air valve and the cables can't move around much anyway. 9. Remove the top triple tree. A 1-1/16" socket gets the large nut, remove the washer behind it, remove the two bolts on the front of the triple tree with a 5mm allen wrench, and loosen the 4 allen bolts, two on each side that clamp the triple tree to the forks. Lift off the triple tree and the two fork covers. 10.Mark each fork with a Sharpie, the official marker of NASCAR. Now do one side at a time, loosen the two bolts clamping the bottom triple tree to the fork and slide it up the desired amount. I found if you twist and pull, it comes easily. I pulled the fork up one inch, although it looks like 1 1/2 inches would be feasible as far as clearance goes. Be sure and rotate the forks about 60 degrees, so that the air valve on top is pointed out or you will not be able to get to them for the handlebars. Clamp it down with the two bolts in the triple tree. Do the other side the same way. 11. Reverse the steps to put it back together. Keith -
The item has been removed. Maybe someone made a mistake? Keith

I have been using it for years and have never had a problem. One thing to be cautious of is future E Mails scams that try to get you to reenter you info so they can access your account. If its from PayPal they will refer to you by the name on your account. I prefer to use PayPal over entering my Credit Card info over the internet. Keith

Freebird was going to install one as a trial I believe........I'd say he will jump in here with some info. Keith

There were 2 calenders done last time 1 was just 2008 and the other was 2008/2009. Keith

I would say you are dealing with Local/State laws. The dealer has wired them to work that way but they can be wired differently.....pic below is from my passing light installation instructions. Hope this helps Keith

I installed the XTC speaker baffles in the front only with the pioneer speakers and found that they made a big improvement. I have the bass blockers but are still in the package.....spring project. Keith -

Bolt for shifter?

Couple of pic's of OEM bolt on my 06....... Keith -
I have been considering the Trekker as well. I had a chance to look at one awhile back here at the local hotel. The guy was pulling it with a Raider and said it handled very well. He did mention a few problems but he thought that they had been corrected since he bought his. I should mention he was from Quebec and our conversation was brief because of my poor french and his poor english. He mentioned the support arms were weak on the rear lid.....the support arm brackets were aluminum and broke rather easy and the front lid/cover had warped. Again I must say that he did give me the impression that his was an earlier model and those problems had been corrected. Hope this helps Keith

See pic to remove seat.....I always remove my battery and put it on a battery tender for the winter storage time. You can use a large pair or channel loc pliers to grip the battery to pull it up from the holder.
