    I purchased one of those lights. I had lost the lense out of mine, when I got it, they turned out to be the same so I contacted them and bought the replacement lenses. then I was able to sell the new light to another 1st gen owner. my experience with them was a good one. wayne:080402gudl_prv:

    I found a functional one at a truck stop, while in route to SC last June, and it functions quite well for less than a buck & a half. It works real good. it's black and almost invisible when it's empty. Now I'm one,who is on a extremely tight budget, and it's functional, the most important thing, in my mind, next would be price. Have a good day, Their calling for rain, but I've got mine and my neighbor's lawns trimmed back nice and neat. Well Maybe not perfectly neat as I skipped the weed eating segment of our process, mostly because the added time required to do a second lawn. He's out of town, on a visit with family. I sure am glad this isn't a weekly routine . I done Just needed to vent on some unsuspecting soul. May peace, find it's way into the hearts of anyone in need today! wayne Now I'm off, ( more than one way ) to get me a big dose of cycle theraphy! ! ! ! I also want to mention, I've an extreme dislike for Lawyers. Has anyone got a good lawyer joke, that would be great to slam a lawyer with. :cool10:If it's not suitable for all eyes, please PM me thanks again, I'm not one to divulge all my woes, in this venue as yet. wayne

    Good post PEIslander , I wondered if the aforementioned products could be utilized in a patch up job, on the diaphrams, as well. what process did you use prior to apply ing, Did you clean the surfaces with a soapy solution or a solvent like say, "acetone." Maybe the surface around the holes needs to be roudhed up genyly with a fine sand paper, to achieve better results, with the adhesion problem. JAT Wayne

    THERE A A LOT OF VARIBLES TO CONSIDER. Does the rider use the brake to slow or down shift and let the engine slow him, what kind of pad if they are stock you probably should have already changed them if you have a tendency to ride the brake around curves and such. Wayne

    Rick I believe it to have a hydraulic bottle type jack on it. It looks like the one sears has with an aluminum frame. As for your " they are strong as a bull. "" I'm going to chew on this a while, and maybe I'll be swayed in my thinking. Oh and Hey Phil didn't mean to high jack yuor thread. wtho

    I can't seem to down load any pics to our forum, several failed attempts to show pics of my rig, that I've used since '04, not having any luck finding any that will load.

    with the lift on the right side of your 1st ginny, the rear lifting point is at the rear end ofthe lowest point on your right rider foot peg mount. The front lift point For my lift is at the rear mounting tab for the crash bar. IMHO I guess it's a personel preference, but I would not lift my bike by the exhaust pipes. I doubt seriously that the designers of this bike or any would recommend that.

    Allen, there are no words to express my sorrow and that that you are experiencing at this time of loss. Although, we only spoke briefly on a few occasions, Debbie possessed an aura that made me, feel comfortable in her presence in knowing there was love present. God is love. Allen you are not alone, in grieving Debbie’s sudden passing. Wayne if you need anything, we're here for you.

    I posted this a while back on a similar post and I suspect what you are experiencing is an alignment problem. I have used a procedure for mounting a rear tire on any Venture that will align the rear end perfectly every time. I was told about this proceedure by a Venture mechanic back in 89 or so and have used it ever since. 1. Before removing the tire, put the bike in gear. 2. When removing the rear tire, loosen slightly the 4 - 14mm nuts to the rear member. This will also give you a little wiggle room to remove one of the wider tires. 2. With the tire off remove the 4 - 14mm nuts and remove the rear member and drive shaft. Grease the drive shaft splines and slip it back in the drive tube. This can be a bit tricky but feel for the inner spline U joint and move it up and rotate it where the drive shaft enters the U joint and the studs enter the holes. Put the 4-14mm nuts back on but leave them a bit loose. 3. mount the wheel into the rear member. Grease the axle lightly and slip it into the wheel through (1.) the large washer and (2.) the caliper bracket. Tighten the axle nut to where it pulls the axle through and snugs into place and then loosen the nut. With a 10mm allen wrench, you can rotate the axle. Turn the axle until you feel a loosest spot around the circumference of the axle. Mark this spot at the pinch bolt slit with a file for future alignments. 4. With the axle pulled through and snug, tighten the pinch bolt and then torque the axle nut to 110 lbs. This gets the axle and inner wheel splins into perfect alignment with each other. 5. Now go back with a good 14mm boxed in wrench and tighten the 4-14mm acorn nuts on the rear member in a cross pattern. This now pulls the drive shaft into alignment with the rear member. 6.You are finished with this part and can now put the caliper back on along with everything else that you took off. Now you really don't need to go through this entire process, but you do need to raise the bike where the rear wheel is off the ground and loosen everything up as follows: 1. Raise the bike with the rear wheel off the ground. 2. Loosen the axle nut completely. 3. Loosen the axle pinch bolt. 4. rotate the axle until you feel the loosest spot and mark this spot on the axle at the pinch bolt slot. 5. Loosen all 4 - 14mm acorn nuts from the final drive assembly. Now you are ready to tighten it back up starting with: 1. The axle to the point the axle nut just starts to tighten. 2. Tighten the pinch bolt 3. Torque the axle nut to 110 lbs 4. Tighten up the 4 - 14mm acorn nuts in a cross pattern. If it's still making a clicking noise then take it back to the dealer and have them look at it. If the rear fluid was not flushed at 500-1,000 miles, then you might have a set of needle bearings going bad in the final drive

    Thanks Guys, I'll try the "EBC HH" I'll check with a local shop to see if he's got what I need in stock. If they haven't I'll shop the net to compare with Rick.:)wayne
