    Keith, 1st thing I'm going to mention is put more air in your rear shock. Even solo I would want over 30 lbs in it. Take the trailer tires down to about 20 lbs. Make sure that your hubs are tightened properly on the axle, and then that the rims are all the way against the hubs. When I have hauled a trailer, riding 2 up and the bike loaded behind a 2nd gen I had my rear shock @ 50 lbs. Your not going to hurt anything with having the trailer tires with lower pressure as you dont even come close to the load limits of them. Just a couple things to think about.

    Yeah, I suppose you do have a valid point there

    I will be the black sheep here, I had XM about 4 years ago and after our month long trip in '06 I got rid of it. They played all the same songs the radio stations play and I heard them repeatedly within a couple of day period. My thought is if I'm going to pay for music I want to hear 50 years worth of music, the stuff they dont play on the radio. I wasn't real happy with it and thats why I got rid of it. Now Freebird loves his, and thats cool, but I just plug my MP3 player into the bike now and listen to all the music I want and what I want to hear. It only repeats if I want it to

    Les, You can use a mighty vac to bleed the system out or one of the pneumatic bleeders from Harbor Freight, I have one of these and it works great. Where abouts in Texas are you, we could get you hooked up pretty easily as the bleeding isn't too long of a job. I'm just north of Houston in Conroe.

    Looks good my friend, I'm glad that I could help you out with it. BTW I did get the Progressive spring a few days ago. I'll be installing them as soon as time allows

    Thats exactly where I would start also, if it's the original fluid that would be 12 years old. What color is it through the site glass window on the reservoir?

    Yep, there was 1 tamper proof screw in each carb, but I have the bit for them When I 1st got the bike I did the quick test with reaching into the throat and sliding the assembly back to see how fast it reacted coming fwd. It seemed fine when I did it, but since then I have put 10K on the bike, so it's time.

    We just bought some Mira Cool vests and have yet to give them a try. I have heard good things about them as well as the ones you purchased

    It's ironic, after all the issues you had with yours I took the covers off the diaphragms on the '89 and lo and behold all 4 of them have holes in 'em. Looks like I am going to have to search out the post on just buying the rubbers to replace them, I dont want to spend $250 on all new parts as the sliders are still good. I knew the bike wasn't perfect, but figured the 100K on the odometer had a bit to do with the slower performance. It will be interesting to see how the mileage and performance pick up after I get it all swapped out. It doesn't run that bad as it is whodathunktit

    It's probably your best bet to go back to stock, I know you can sell the barons kit here on the site with no problems. If you do take it off and decide you want to sell it get ahold of Gunboat here in Houston as he might be wanting to lower his '99.

    Christo, There are many that are leaving the Venture platform for the exact reason you are. I dont blame any of you at all, I have my Harley, albeit given to me as I couldn't afford one. Yamaha had better pull their head out of the arse as I know many other who have the income to purchase a new bike will leave the brand and look at something that is updated with the times. I can't really afford another new Venture, so I will bring the '99 I have back to life and ride the hell out of it. That is a beautiful H/D and I know you'll get many miles out of it. Dont think of leaving us as Leadwolf knows where you live and we'll hunt you down like a rabid critter!
