  1. I was helped by a fellow member that contacted Carbon One and I was told he is NO LONGER making parts for the RSV. Sooooo, if anyone has a used one, they will part with, please contact me. Steve
  2. Hello Venture Riders. Is Carbon One still around? I am interested in one of his aux fuel tanks for my trike and cannot contact him through a PM. Thank you. Steve
  3. I'm taking blood pressure meds, but it isn't that. However, that could still contribute to the problem. I firmly believe old age, numerous surgeries and bad hips and knees are the biggest problem.
  4. Hello Forum. I would like a Carbon One fuel tank for a Hannigan Trike. PM me if one is available. Thank you. Steve Stewart
  5. Hello Fellow Venture Riders. Patricia and I are home after a 7-day, 1800-mile trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah Valley on Skyline Drive. We were blessed with wonderful weather as we traveled up through N. Carolina and Virginia. After reaching Front Royal at the north end of Skyline Drive, we rode across W, Virginia and Ohio to Maysville Kentucky. We went to Maysville so we could ride back across KY on US 68 to our home in Hopkinsville. The one downside of the trip was that I have realized it will probably be the last trip we will be able to make on the bike. The balance issues when stopped are getting worse so we decided that any future trips will be on the trike. However, we are blessed with a wonderful last trip on the bike. I will keep the bike for future solo trips with my riding buddy. Steve
  6. Thanks Freebird. Where did you get yours? I want some for my trike for the wife AND my bike that I am keeping for myself,😁
  7. Hello Forum. I am wanting to pull my handlebars back with a 1 1/2 in. Riser attachment. Can this be installed WITHOUT having to get longer hoses and cables? Thank you. Steve
  8. Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a trike. I was blessed to find a 07 in VERY good condition, and it has a Hannigan Kit on it. All it needs is a reverse and being ridden a whole lot.
  9. Hello Venture Riders. My riding buddy and I made a trip to the Smoky Mountains last week and had a wonderful time riding the mountain roads. Due to our older age, we were only able to put 1250 miles on the bikes. Thankfully we had some wonderful warm weather most of the week. A rainstorm blew in Thursday afternoon that caused the temperature to drop Thursday night for a very cool ride home Friday. We left N. Carolina in a misty 45 degree morning and made it to Kentucky that evening with it only 65. I'm hoping the weather will hold so the wife and I can make a trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway next week. I would like to get one more good trip in before the cold sets in. Steve
  10. I found one on Facebook Marketplace...
  11. I am talking with a fellow that has a 06 Venture he triked out with a Hannigan kit in 12. He had the front rake changed and said it handles wonderfully. I feel the price is right and the wife is very much for it. I will be keeping up with your progress Freebird to see how it is going with you. I have a question though. Has anyone ever put a car tire on the front of a trike? I like the idea of the high milage tire but am not sure if it is viable. Steve
  12. Hello Forum I am in the need of a Midnight Venture front fairing in good condition. Mine got some road rash on it and I feel it needs to be replaced so my Venture can be as beautiful as it once was. Thank you. Steve
  13. Hello Forum. I'm looking for light visors for headlight, passing lamps and turn signals. Thank you. Steve S.
  14. Thanks Freebird. I added up the extras i wanted and it went to more like $1600 plus installation. I have a good bike that now has 27,000 miles on it, but I am not attatched to it, so I will look for a used trike. Steve
  15. Hello VentureRiders. After our 7500-mile ride and dropping the bike 4 times due to being tires and not staying focused I am seriously considering a Trike. I have looked on Hannigan's site, they are only 50 miles from me, and can get what I want in a Trike for around $14,000 using my ride. I have thought about a Honda Trike to get an engine with fuel injection, but I really want to stay with the Venture. I have never ridden a Wing and I am not sure about the comfort of one. I was told by a man that had 2 Ventures that the center of gravity is much lower on a Wing and are much easier to balance and keep upright. He may know what he was talking about since he was 80 years old on a trip with 2 other men that were in their late 70s. I think a Wing test ride may be in order before I commit to the Trike. I would like to hear any thoughts or concerns anyone might have. Thanks Steve S
  16. Thanks. I'll wait for him to get home before I get too excited.
  17. Hello Ventureriders. Is Skydoc 17 still on the Forum and selling the clutch upgrades? I sent him a PM but haven't received a reply. Thanks Steve S
  18. Cowpuc we don't have any idea that that opening is. It is a beautiful sight though.
  19. Hello Venture Riders. Patricia and I are back home in Kentucky, after a 25 day, 7500-mile motorcycle trip. We went to 16 different states, a few of them several times, 2 Canadian Provinces, and several National Parks. We talked with numerous people that were simply amazing. After going up in the Space Needle in Seattle Washington, we rode down the Pacific Coast Hiway to San Fransisco. We rode across The Golden Gate Bridge and rode by Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco. We took the Oakland Bay Bridge on the way to Vacaville CA to visit Patricia's niece as a surprise. On this trip we saw many beautiful sights we never thought either one of us would ever experience. We went from sea level to over 12.000 feet in the mountains in Colorado. Rode through the Mojave Desert and went to both the North Rim and South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We experienced temperatures from low 50s to a high of 103. There were so many beautiful experiences we had and saw, it would take several pages and become so boring to the reader that they would run far away. The most important thing is we are home safe and never had a bad experience. Steve S IMG_1537.MOV
  20. Hello Forum. Now that the weather has finally cooled down and kids are back in school, the wife and I are heading out tomorrow morning from Western Kentucky to Washington State and the Pacific Coast Hiway. It has been my dream for years to ride the PCH from Seattle to north of LA Calif. The Good Lord willing and we make it to Seattle safely, I will finally get to do it. Any positive thoughts and prayers would be very welcome. I will check back in when we make it back home. Steve
  21. I was checking out my 2010 RSV in preparation for a long trip and noticed mine were BAD!!! The bike only has 19K miles on it, so I was surprised they were that bad. I've put 13K on it since I bought it in May of 21 so I will be sure to check them closer from now own. Steve
