How many horsepower on the second generation?
Squidley replied to casabroker's topic in General Tech Talk
Mid 90's at the crank, about mid 70's at the rear wheel, Vmax rearend would cure that problem. -
Where abouts in Texas is he, it's always good to know folks that do leatherwork

83 Backrest help
Squidley replied to hdroyer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The 83 thru 85 have a different mounting bracket / point. The 86 to 93 uses a different bracket all together. The backrests as far as the cusion and attachment arms can be used on all the venture from 83 to 93 -
Now thats pretty thoughtful of him, but he is from Texas so it makes perfect sense to me

Sam, Welcome to the fold, lots of things to check, but your in the right spot. Enjoy the site and do yourself a favor and perform a complete tune up (Plugs Wires Caps & Air Filter) on the bike before you even try to start troubleshooting. We'll be here and are looking forward to some pics

We'll make it happen my friend, looking forward to talking with you

Rider Down....Should have stayed with the venture
Squidley replied to Mavrick's topic in Watering Hole
Mike, Both of you walked away, any bike accident you can do that from is a good thing. Sorry to hear of your Harley, I know I would hate to have that happen to any of my bikes. Your angels were with you and you'll be around to ride another day, all the best to you both with the insurance companies. I think I would be bringing this to the attention of the state also. -
there's much worse people to try and keep up with

Nope...next one Linux

Kingbird, I have a 450 Zumo and love it! I'm not into talking while I'm riding so the Bluetooth wasn't a big deal for me. The system can be used with your stereo as mentioned through the AUX on the bike. Here is a shamless for the bosses Zumo he's selling in the classifieds http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2949&title=garmin-zumo-550-with-xm-antenna&cat=12

Thats what I did Forest and made it so the router would allow the Firefox to operate. I wont be going back to IE as I called Microsoft for a bit of advice, they wanted $60 for their advice....told them I didn't think it was worth that Thanks again for your help in posting that link to the Green AV virus

I could run up there and get it Lewis if that needs to happen, there's room here too if need be.

Hey Folks, I gotta tell you, if I ever run into one of the pukes that makes these viruses, I'm going to string them up from a tree and use them as a pinata! I finally, thanks to all of you good folks, got the computers back running. It took me all afternoon and the evening yesterday and about 4 hours this morning to make it happen. I ended up using the "anti maleware" program mentioned by The Marshall and ran it in safe mode 3 times on each computer. I then reinstalled the AVG on both computers and ran 2 virus scans. That got the pop ups gone, but then as a parting gift, the virus made it so my internet explorer wouldn't connect me to the web So I ended up going with Mozilla Firefox (it was installed on the PC already) and got to the internet on the big computer. The laptop was more of a pain in the rear as it wouldn't hook up to the net as it said the proxy server wouldn't let it. Spent an hour trying to figure out how to make that happen, but I did. Now the laptop is running on Mozilla also as the IE was pooched on it too. One hell of a learning experience that I wish I didn't have to do Thank you all again for all the emails and phone calls and posts here. I seriously doubt I could have done it without you folks.....beers on me when we finally hook up again!

Ken, Thanks for the info, thats exactly why I haven't liked Norton as it was a resource hog. Perhaps they have got it right and I need to take a look at it. I can't fault AVG, which I have had excellent luck with. It just seemed too convienent when the only site I could to was "AV" and I assumed it was part of AVG. Keep the posts coming in, I'm learning a lot here:thumbsup2:

Thank you Mark, Sounds almost identical to whats happening here, sneaky bastards. I'm going to print these off before I head home so I can use them for reference. Thanks again everyone for your input

The AV site, I'm printing this page out....Thank you my friend

Forest and Lewis, I have got a few calls on just what you have mentioned and will do it when I get home. Thanks for all the support fellas I really appreciate it. I'm going to print the link you posted Forest for removing the av suite

Got a question for the geeks, I have been using Grisoft AVG anti virus, the free version, for a couple of years now. All of a sudden I get a virus, that now we can't get online with either the laptop or the home computer. Convienently it will go to AV's website and allow me to buy their anti virus. Now I believe that AV has something to do with this, I'm not that into computers, but it's too much of a coincidence that their website is the only one I can get to. 2 questions 1) Has anyone been having this problem with AVG free anti virus 2) Who uses what as far as anti virus programs, mind you I cant get online to download one onto my computer. I wont use Mcafee as I have used them in the past and been screwed. Norton isn't a popular option with me either unless someone can really give me a very good solid reason to use it. Any help is appreciated, my cell # is in my profile as until I get this fixed I can't get online from home.

Jeff, Thats not a bad idea, might be a little tough to facilitate it, but we might be able to come up with something.
