    My recommendation, Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend 10W30 for cold temperature riding.

    Look for the 'Leo' style passenger footpegs. You can never go wrong with a pair.

    Ate moderately yesterday, but tasted all the food on the table. Will be spending moderately this weekend, but will stay away from the Malls today - Black Friday. I'm bleeding my clutch fluid this afternoon.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    Congrats! I wish them all the best. Now, get your gear and give the bike a safety check and go for a nice ride.

    Party before the Party...glad to see someone is still out there this very early morning.

    Hello Jactana. FWIW, Rotella T5 has JASO certification. As far as oil is concerned, it is all about personal preference. A lot of Venture owners recommend Rotella and so far I've used about 3 gallons of Rotella 15W40 over the summer and Fall. T5 to me is a great oil and does not cause any clutch slippage on my Venture. Let us know what kind of oil you end up using. Thanks for your input. Ride Safe.

    Very nice! Congrats on the stand. I am sure this has been asked before, but I really don't know if you were able to keep your sidestand as well ... now that you have the stand under the bike. My co-worker is very interested on putting a centerstand on his RSTD.

    Considering that it is going to Thanksgiving next week, I just can't imagine that 2010 has just flew by so fast. December will go just as fast. A little bit of warming trend would be nice. Lately, I've been putting on my Gerbings to keep me comfy:cold:. As far as rain and snow is concerned in your area (Seaking), there is really nothing you can do and wait it out until the pavement dries up. :sleigh: is just around the corner and season is just 4 months away.

    Just to and from work...I think I'll put more miles on my bike all weekend long and through next week. That reminds me, on my way home I will have to pickup another jug of T5 while it is on sale.

    After putting over 100 miles on my bike with the T5 10W30 Rotella, I give this oil a thumbs up. No bad problems to report about the oil. Great for cold weather riding. Ride Safe.

    Bob, I pray to the Lord to watch over you during your recovery. Get well soon. Your faith will keep you strong. Regards.

    +1 on Gerbings too. I've had my pair for about 4 years now and it serves me well every winter. I'm not so sure about keeping you dry since I do not ride on a cold wet rain. Gerbings does have a lifetime warranty on the heating elements.

    ...and the best time to synch your carbs is after a nice ride when the engine is up to temperature.
  15. N3FOL
    Same here...after reading a thread about synching at different rpm, I couldn't really tell the difference. So from now on, I've just been synchronizing my bike at idle. That reminds me, it wouldn't really hurt if I synched my carbs again. The last time was last summer.

    Yep! Corbin and Mustang are popular seats for motorcycles. They are pricey, but it may lower the seat height depending on the style. A custom made seat may the better rout for people who are vertically challenged. BTW, my Baron lowering kit is still For Sale.

    I hope you feel better soon. Ureathane fumes can for sure do some damage to your health. It is a good idea to change the oil before winter really sets in. That reminds me to do that on my garden tractor and change the blades to be ready for next Spring. Regards:grandpa:

    I just read about the accident. 12 motorcycles hit and 5 dead and half a dozen seriously injured and a car that did not stop at the scene of the accident. Terrible news. My prayers go out to the families of the deceased. Always be careful out there day or night.
  19. N3FOL
    Don't give up hope, 1rooster. Not sure how religious you are, but say a prayer and it will be answered.
  20. N3FOL
    It is there for a reason. Yes, all the time.

    OEM Air Filter

    N3FOL replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    I've been thinking about replacing my airfilter for the past month. Now that I have reached 20,000 miles, I may...just may have to blow it off for one last time and put in another 5K to 7K miles then I will have to replace them. Pricewise, I guessed it right...somewhere around $20.00 each. I am curious how much the nearest dealer would charge for one. (calling them tomorrow to inquire)

    Baron has the kit and it will lower your Venture to about an inch. With that said, Baron recommends the relocation of your rear caliper so that it does not interfere with the rear fender. So I would guess that if you drop about 1 inch, you will have to relocate your caliper. At any rate, I have in my garage a Brand New Rear Lowering Kit in an unopened case - that is the Baron Rear Lowering Kit Part # BA-7530-00. This kit comes with the relocation hardware for your Caliper. When I got my Venture, I thought I will have to lower it...but decided not too. Glad I didn't lower the bike for it handles great. At 5'5" and riding 2 up, it feels just fine going to a stop...but I do understand your preference of having more control with a lower rear on your Venture. So if you are interested with the Baron Rear Lowering kit, give me a reasonable offer...it is For Sale. Mike

    In order for me to reach a plug wire, I simply remove the seat and clamp it to the right rear cylinder - I think that is plug wire #3. The tach is very easy, IMO.

    Did someone ask for a picture?

    Stick around. The more the merrier. Congrats on the coming of the baby. I am sure you will be a great father. Regards.
