Ozz, If you any type of handy and are willing to attempt it, I would do it yourself. The dealer is going to tell you that it's a few hour job and charge you a couple hundred bucks, that BS. You buy yourself a carbtune or some other style of vacuum balancing device and sync the carb yourself. I can usually sync a set of carbs in less than 10 minutes, 5 minutes if I'm not talking. Another option is take a road trip to Texas and I'll adjust them for FREE! or you can search out a member in Cali that has a Carbtune and have them do it. Lots of options for you. BTW the Carbtune, which is what I have can be purchased for right at $100 and you'll have it for the rest of your days http://www.carbtune.com/

You got me there, that was funny, my guts still hurt

Your not getting totally jammed, he's making a bit of money off the valve adj and who can blame him. As long as they do a good job with the warranty work your still ahead of the game. And as far as adj the valves when it says to...nothing but a money grab there. Your right at the mileage where they should be checked. I have never seen a Venture 1st or 2nd gen that needed the valve adj before 50K miles

They are the same clamps that come with those pegs and even though there are 2 pcs shown you will get all 3 to completely go around the bar. 1 thing I want to mention here also is with those clamps be sure and use a flat rubber rubber strip under the clamp and ontop of the bar. This will help with the clamp not slipping, especially on the pegs. I have used the ones that come with the pegs before, but have had issues with them slipping. What might be an option for you is to use the clamps that come with those pegs and use them for the Carbon one braces and buy a set of these... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/13/121/19210/ITEM/Kuryakyn-Magnum-Quick-Clamps.aspx I have set of these on the '89 with a pair of Markland floorboards and they work great. The boards dont move at all. I want to mention also that I use a Cork/Rubber gasket material on all the clamps I install so they wont slip on the smooth chrome. It can be purchased at any autoparts store

Thanks for the info and posting it up. Hopefully some of our members will be able to attend -
Damn thats harsh! atleast I own a Harley

Charlie, I have used these pegs from Whitney on all my G2's and I really like them for the price. Kuryakyn makes some nice stuff, but their prices are outrageous. http://www.jcwhitney.com/custom-mount-elliptical-rail-foot-pegs/p2002576.jcwx

Bob, Glad to hear they are doing the warranty work for you, but that sounds like BS on the gaskets. I have replaced valve cover gaskets on MANY Ventures and even with all the rubber buttons on top being replaced too it wasn't anywhere nears $120 per bank

I hate to say it to you, but I'm with Russ and Carl, it's not worth it if they are leaking that bad. Granted it is a pain, but I would go through and either do it yourself, or take it in and have it done. I know when I did Karl Sabin's (ic23b) front forks and got all the mess cleaned off the front brakes he was amazed at the difference in the handling and stopping. Be safe, I know your itching for a ride, but dont comprimize on your safety. There are too many variables and idiots that are waiting to kill us

Check all your connections for being tight and absolutely clean, thats where I would start 1st.

Ha! Thats cool, we all knew he'd get on something over there

Thanks Craig, it worked fine and I like what I see there

That looks sweet!

Thanks for all the info folks, I am going to send an email to some of the top line mfgrs and ask what actually is the difference in there bottom line knives as apposed to the top line ones. We went out looking today and found Henkles and Wustof's @ Sears and Pennys for around $100....made in China, along with the Chicago cutlery. I dont necessarily want to buy knives made in China, I dont want to ever buy another set of knives again after these ones. Keep the comments coming, I'm learning a lot about knives that I didn't know
-
Thats good info to know, most of us just hope that it's close...unless your Goose

Hey Folks, I have a perhaps odd question to ask all of our members here. Lonna and I just signed a renters agreement on a doublewide MH with a 2 car garage...Yay for us It's all furnished with washer/dryer, stove, fridge yada yada yada. We now need to get some items for the house as we left quite a few things with Lonnas sister back at our old home in Michigan. The 1 thing we really need is going to be a good set of culinary knives. I'm not talking about the stuff you buy at Walmarts, this will be the last set of knives we buy. I'm no chef, but I do know there are good knive companies out there like Henckel and such. These are professional knives and that is what we are looking for. We have a great many members here with varied back grounds. What I would like is if you folks that are in the know or are culinary professionals (or anybody for that fact) could suggest a set of good quality knives that will last our lifetime. Price is somewhat of an issue, but I dont mind paying for quality and I'm thinking somewhere in the $300 or less price range. Do appreciate all you help with this one

Glad to hear you like them, have a nice ride
-
Mike, Good to see you back on, and if you can buy that bike for $1900....run to it, we can help you along with it no sweat.

Pick, I have seen the PVC used and haven't heard of it letting go. Copper is a great alternative if you have money to burn. I would go with black iron pipe with threaded ends, you can Tee it off at intervals you want and elbow the ends. Put quick connects on it for plugging in your hoses and I can guarantee you, you wont blow it up with any home air compressor.
