    Hi Jeff, I have a 55" 4k Samsung smart TV. The picture is fantastic. Sony makes good products also but seem to be over priced. This Tv streams video just fine but my DL speed is 30mb. Good luck with your choices there are alot to choose from.

    I have had these from harbor freight for three years and they still work great. It's shame we have to use them so often. http://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-12-volt-electric-horn-set-99911.html

    I bought a new cover from here for my 85. Very nice and reasonably priced. The only problem was that my original seat for the 85 had a wide passenger seat and they made it for narrow passenger like the 83 seat. I just trimmed the foam to fit. If you use this place you might want to ask them about the difference in the seats. http://www.motorcycleseatcovers.com/

    When I set the pressure to high it pumps until it hits 71 psi and then I press the the low button and the compressor runs again until it reads 17 psi. If I set it to high and then turn off the key and then turn it back to accessory then press the rear button in auto the pressure reads 0 psi.

    I don't think any air is getting to the shock. When try to set the air pressure on the class controller to medium for the rear shock the pump runs for a few seconds the display shows 43 psi. But when I turn off the key and then back on and check the rear pressure it shows 0 psi. If I try the high setting the pump runs until it shows 71 psi. but the bike does not raise. It all seems to be working fine with no errors. I would think that if the rear shock was bad it would not build pressure as quickly as it does. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    I have a simaliar problem. When try to set the air pressure on the class controller to medium for the rear shock the pump runs for a few seconds the display shows 43 psi.

If I try the high setting the pump runs until it shows 71 psi. but the bike does not raise. any would be great. Thanks.

    Here is a the link to a thread. I made a few sets of these a while back but do not have any left. We are really busy on our lasers but I could try to get some more made. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37071&highlight=side+cover+vents

    Jeff, Sorry to here about this. Prayers sent for your father, that he has full and quick recovery.

    My 85 did this same thing at 35 mph with a new front tire and properly adjusted head bearings. The fix for me was new Progressive springs. I wasn't sure at the time what was causing the wobble but the bike would bottom out on small bumps so that is why I changed the springs and had discovered that the wobble was also gone.

    This is a really nice upgrade for your bike. I installed it on my 85. It made it very easy to add a much louder horn.

    All I can say is WOW. WOT is back. I cleaned the carbs replaced the rubber plugs in the jet bodies the jet body gasket and main tube o-rings and the bowl cover o-rings. Put it back together and went for a ride. It ran great no stumble or hesitation. I synced the carbs and now it is good to go. I'm going to monitor the spark plug color to make sure the mixture is good and hopefully the mpg goes up. Total parts $160.00.

    I have been watching this thread because I am having a similer problem. Poor mpg (29) no power at WOT spark plugs are black. It is a 1985 with an 87 1300 motor carbs from the 1200 with 125 main jets, pilot screws 2 1/2 turns and new diaphrams last year. I took the carbs off to give them a good cleaning and found the the rubber plugs in the bottom of the jet block fit very sloppy and are hard. I'm thinking that fuel is getting sucked by them creating a rich condition. I never have to use the choke to start it. The bike runs fine under normal conditions and stumbles at WOT. Last year it ran great when I twisted the throttle I had better be holding on tight and I miss that. It had the problem when I took it out of storage this spring. I'm going order new rubber plugs and gaskets tomorrow. I will post the results after I have it back together.

    More prayers from Wisconsin. Keep Fighting Ponch.

    has anyone purchased a new cover from B and H Specialties? http://www.motorcycleseatcovers.com/index.htm Price seems pretty good.
  16. rjg1985
    My 85 is doing the same thing. I cleaned it with gasoline as suggested by another member last year. That worked pretty well but I still have more work to do on it. I was thinking I might try seafoam, It works for everything else.

    I just gave a 1983 venture v4 engine to Jeff (flyingfool). He picked it up the weekend of the 4th. Some assembly would be needed. I got it cheap and disassembled it just to see how it all worked. It just needs second gear fixed.

    I added seafoam last night and noticed an improvement on the ride to work this morning. I usually put seafoam in the fuel before storage but never got to it last fall.

    Diaphrams are new
  20. rjg1985
    If the problem persists I will be checking the carb sync and all vacuum lines plus clean the electrical connections this weekend.

    I'm missing the intercom button on the volume control if anyone has a spare.

    I just did tonight and have not riden yet. Filled the tank at noon today and used it to go see a customer. Cruised down the interstate at 75 mph no problem. Twist it wide open and it does not want to take off like it should. Hopfully the seafoam will help. I would like to find a set of carbs for a 1300 engine. I think my mileage would improve. I only get about 33 mpg the the 1200 carbs.

    I have not started to look for the problem yet, but here are the symptoms. First off I have an 1985 royale with an 87 engine. Did the swap 4th of July weekend 2010 and the bike has run great. Now it starts and runs fine for cruising but when I get the rpms over 4500 it has no power. I used the carbs from the 1200 engine but with larger jets (same as the 1300 carbs would have). It has been running like this since I took it out this spring last year it ran fine. It seems like the timing is not advancing. Any suggestions would be great.

    It would fit in your trailer come on up with the bike. If you are interested in it send me a PM.
  25. rjg1985
    I have this 1983 engine torn apart, and the more I think about it I'm not going to get at rebuilding it. If you want the whole engine it is yours you would just have to come up to Two Rivers to get it. It has around 50,000 miles on it and second gear needs to be fixed.
