  1. Look at a RAM mount and put it on the handlebar with an extension to get it up high. http://www.ram-mount.com/
  2. Happy Birthday Buddy!!!
  3. Insure that the clutch slave is working properly and the fluid is good. I would actually bleed it 1st if you haven't had that done in a few years as the fluid will more than likely need to be replaced.
  4. That is the most smoked clutch assembly I have ever seen in a Venture Jeff is a great guy and you couldn't have asked for a better member to help you out. I was very glad that you got it home in 1 piece. I keep a clutch assembly here at the house for just such an emergency, you never know when a brother will need it. Nice work to everybody involved
  5. Nice work JJ! Glad that things worked out for the better, I can only imagine the pucker factor being a few hundred miles away from home and have a dead bike.
  6. I think he's good Jeff, I talked with him on the phone a couple of hours ago and did a quick walk through on what to do and look for. He had it apart when he talked with me.
  7. Just talked with Greg, if there is anyone that has a stock spring that they replaced on their G2 in that area please give him a call. We discussed him sanding the steels and installing a 2nd stock spring on his bike, this would do the trick. Give him a call asap if you have a spring for this bike....thanks. Note a 1st gen spring from a MKII '86 to '93 will also work on this bike.
  8. Dingy is such a brown noser!!!
  9. Did you break your right wrist Forrest??
  10. You obviously haven't had any of Lonna's biscuits and gravy....and probably wont after she reads this
  11. Nice work Zipcode, your becoming quite the Venture/Tour Deluxe mechanic
  12. It was an '06 pulling a trailer, lets hope it wasn't a member here, bad enough it was a fellow biker.
  13. Looking good Annie!
  14. All the best bro, biscuts and gravy for dinner tonight.....that should help atleast the head and stomach.
  15. Revision.... Talked with Ray again and he's held up inside Texas. Called his son in Temple and jr. told him not to chance coming across as they are having some bad storms out that way. So he got another room and will head home in the morning. I'm sort of glad he's done for the night, that many miles is hard on a body, especially on a new bike. Thanks again for following the saga
  16. Talked with Ray about 45 minutes ago, he was rolling into Texarkana. He's thinking he should be getting home between 10 and 11 pm. He's definitely getting to know his '03 up close and personal with the Evelin Woods speed riding course
  17. No...but a magnet will stick to that plate in your head!
  18. Just talked with Ray again, he's about 25 miles out of Little Rock on one of the 2 lanes. He's going to stop and see a family member in Little Rock (his Daughter I believe) and then onto Temple tonight. Thanks again for all the help fellas
  19. Ben, I have a couple of old CLASS systems, I'll try and remember when I get home and I'll see if I have the part. If I do it's yours, I'll just need an address.
  20. Randy and Ken, Thanks for the info, and for the call last night to him Randy. He mentioned talking with you and the route you suggested is what he's gonna do. I'll keep updating as I get more info
  21. Just got off the phone with Ray, he is staying in Sikeston Missouri tonight and would appreciate any help with good road info. Seems lots of roads are flooded, unfortunately he doesn't have a laptop with him. So he can't get online and scope things out. If any of the Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas members could help him out with good road info that would be much appreciated. His cell # is 713 301 3418 give him a shout if you want. Thanks in advance for the info
  22. I mentioned for him to stick with the slabs, all interstates as far as he could. I'll try to get ahold of him and see how he's fairing.
  23. He is a member here Annie, his screen name is Oldschool. Ray is a good friend of mine and has been chomping at the bit for several months to get a 2nd gen. I am happy that he was finally able to get his wish
