  1. Thanks - got it I tried to adjust that darn thing while riding - that falls under the stupid category, especially when you (me) don't know what you're doing. This September will make me the happy owner of my FIRST Venture and it's been a learning experience from day one. Am/FM/CB/ Zumo 550/ XM radio/ radar detector/ is there anything else that can be added. I could stand a little more confusion
  2. How do I adjust the squelch on my CB ? I've fiddled with the different settings but I can't find CB or Squelch Thanks
  3. LTshame - you got mail
  4. I'm a MAC fan but I partitioned my laptop and put XP pro on it. The best of both worlds, mac ease and Windows versatility:thumbsup:
  5. Oh man alive - you shouldn't have said that where I could see/hear it. it seems I'm always in one jam or another.
  6. Hey Lieutenant - I knew you could do it. I told you that If I could, just about anybody could install them. looks like you did a fine job - and You're Welcome.
  7. I also have some 12 gauge THHN in colors if there's a need for it.
  8. I have acquired a huge amount of 14 gauge thhn wire and rather than scrap it out, if anybody is going to do some lighting or whatever on their bike I'd be happy to mail 15 or 20 foot lengths of it just for the cost of the envelope and postage. btw - what I have now is black, I just got rid of 30 lbs of red. It's all used wire but the insulation is intact
  9. If he doesn't exceed the width limit ( 8' 6" ) and has it secure he's as legal as anybody. Just not as smart as most
  10. did you check the voltage in the battery ? I would think it should have 12.6 and above if just coming off a tender.
  11. Hi Rick - we talked about this just prior to your trip. I want to send the passenger seat off my 2007 Venture. At this point I don't have a problem with mine but yesterday with shock air adjustment (on the road) my wife said it was much better. She has a harder time with bumps in the road than with seat time. Will your alteration alleviate some of her problem ??
  12. My plan is to add 2 amber led's on the front guard and 2 red led's on the reat guard. My intent is to replace the reflectors that are there now. The question is - Can I safely connect the led's to the existing light relay that I installed for my passing/driving lights so that they will be energized with the ign. switch ?? btw - it's a 30 amp light relay and it's powered from the aux/cigarette lighter and it is fused.
  13. I get a kick out of watching (some) women trying to drive and keep the phone to her ear with her shoulder. Just goes to show that (some) women can multi-task
  14. Pretty much my thought's on to Whenever a celebrity gets nailed it's big news - if my uncle got run over by a herd of stampeding giant chickens and got killed it would never make the local paper let alone national news.
  15. This should be really interesting - Watching golf on the telly and heard that Steve McNair was found SHOT dead. gunfight ? - guns in a club ? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there's more to this than the media is going to print
  16. I knew you'd find some help - these guys are the best :clap2:
  17. If you hold it up to the light and angle it somewhat you can see a couple minor scratches but there is nothing that resembles a hinderance to good vision thru it. It was on the bike when I bought it but I didn't like how short it was. I prefer the taller WS bottom line - I'm not ashamed of it
  18. BMW - $85 delivered to you in Elmhurst Il.
  19. you know, on second thought, look around for another Venture rider nearby and collaborate. It might even make for a nice ride to somebody's garage for an install session. If we were closer, I'd help you do it at my place since I've got all the necessary tools.
  20. I'll tell you what - if I can do it and make it work ( with help from the guys here) anybody can do it. If need be, give me a call - we can talk about it
  21. The REAL problem right now is that hardly anything is selling and when it does it's a buyers market. Look thru EBAY at your items, you will see that perhaps 1 piece out of 10 or 15 is selling. You might do well to try to get a certified appraisal and just divide everything up and put it in YOUR own estate/collection. That would be the ideal thing to do unless you have to dispose of the collection to satisfy debt or family. Sorry to hear of your loss, prayers are with you.
  22. here it is http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/2176/cat/7
  23. Look in the VR classifieds - I saw a 9' there a little while ago --
  24. You're welcome - glad I was able to help
