    I looked at the HF ad and it said MAXIMUM TOWING SPEED 45 MPH can that be right or just a legal OUT for HF ??

    A friend had one on his 1500 GoldWing - gotta be a little careful in the curves, sometimes he would lift the inside wheel. Also on occasion he would lose traction because the outside wheels held the drive tire off the pavement. I suspect that happened because he had the suspension too tight. One great thing is that they can be bought used for $1000 & up versus $10,000 for a permanent trike kit.

    OH CRAP !!! :bang head:

    I'm an EX Goldwing owner/rider and I'll stay an EX. Over the years I've owned 7 goldwings plus a goldwing trike. None of them were as comfortable as my 2007 Midnight Venture ! Don't mistake me, I'm not bashing, I'm just much happier with my Venture.

    I can't see much difference (visually) between a Venture and an Ultra but then I really don't care what anybody rides. Just ride, enjoy and try to be safe btw - congrats on your new ride

    That's one of those things that I have to use here in Ohio almost 8 months of the year. Oh - I also use it to tow my travel trailer, the one I camp in - you know, microwave, flush toilet, RUNNING hot and cold water - lol

    Yes I did think about an extension but the mfg. says it works just fine w/o the tailgate

    A couple years ago I bought high & low beam WHITE bulbs for my 2005 Silverado from http://www.eurodezigns.com They advertised a lifetime warranty for a mere $6.95 return fee. GUESS WHAT - I had a bulb go out so I took it out put it in an envelope with a $6.95 MO and mailed it back as the instructions say on their web site. Within 5 days I had a SET (2 bulbs) in the mail. So now I have a spare if another one goes out.

    I'm not a mechanical engineer but I was told several years ago that the same model works on long and short bed trucks. :think:

    I wouldn't doubt you could build one for that. good luck !! I just find it easier and much simpler to let someone else do it. I just happened to have the extra $$$$ and my wife already said that she wouldn't put it in the casket with me.

    I have a short bed Z71 and I will have to leave the tail gate off just to be able to hook up the travel trailer. That's the whole object - I want to camp and still have a flush toilet, microwave, TV and of course my laptop. I also want to ride the bike when I get to various locations - scenery is much more pleasant when you're on a bike.

    http://www.rampagelift.com/ I want to take our travel trailer and our bike to the Grand Canyon this year and this seems to be the only way I can do it. I bought one yesterday and it should do the trick. I guess I'll have to take some polish and cleaning rags since the bike will be exposed to the elements.

    We had a toy hauler - didn't like it because it had a PULL down queen bed. Still had to climb a ladder to get into bed. not good for an old man !!

    there used to be a motorcycle lift that mounted in the bed of your truck and would reverse and lower to the ground to load or unload your bike. I can't seem to find a web site - anybody remember these lifts ?? I think I found it - sticker shock has got me tho ----

    I would like to get a aux. fuse block installed for future lighting etc. btw - what size/colors wire would be needed ? I would be happy to supply wire for more than myself.

    some REALLY interesting thoughts have come alive. FREEBIRD - I don't mind spending $1000 for a one time trip but the bed loading outfit is WAY outta price for me. ( I'm a cheapskate at heart). A friend has already offered the use of his 16 foot enclosed that is set up for hauling his RSTD and he has it set up for storage etc. I think we can get a couple cots and things needed for camping. Already have a lot of it anyway. I'm just trying to make it as comfortable for wifey as I can. From what I see so far, it makes more sense to use his trailer and camp when I want and stay at motels when it's nasty weather. The money not spent for the hitch will go a long way towards motel rooms.

    Yer da man !!
  21. Hummingbird
    handle bar controls?? What kind of trike are you putting together ??
  22. Hummingbird
    I already have a travel trailer that I want to take, that's why I need to figure a way to take the Venture.
  23. Hummingbird
    the problem with that is then I lose my tongue weight on the camper.

    Guys - This year we want to go to the Grand Canyon in our Z71 and pull our Travel trailer. Problem is, I also want to take the Venture. The only way I see I can do it is by using this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycle-Trailer-Lift-Hauler-Carrier-Mighty-Hauler_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1171Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1308Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a2Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3ef4148b42QQitemZ270382959426QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1624wt_385 or one like it. I'm told by the mfg. that my hitch needs to be a class 4, I have a Chevy factory hitch and it's most likely a class 3. I don't mind buying a new hitch but was wondering if anybody here has had to deal with this situation. Thanks for any HELP
