    Joe, Glad to see that you got something rolling, nice looking Freightliner Stop in and visit us when you can...be safe out there.

    I agree with Joe, it's a mechanical warranty, Yamaha doesn't have any control over how folks take care of their bikes or where they live. Thats not meant anything against you personally, but I don't think your going to be able to get anything out of them. Back many years ago I used to hunt your foreign counterparts, HSL 36 in Mayport Florida ASW with SH2F's Glad to have you here with us.

    I agree, gonna be iffy, worst case sell it back on ebay and get the right one

    The Devcon mentioned is some REAL good stuff, I use it at work and it can be tapped. What I will say about welding it, it can be done, but dont let some shmoe do it. The part will have to be extremely clean, Muriatic acid does well with aluminum. It also needs to be pre heated prior to striking an arc. If you have any grease or solvent at all on it the aluminum will pop and your really screwed then. Choose wisely young Skywalker, and may the force be with you....

    As much as you might like to throttle him, talk nice and see if he'll take it back. If it gets ugly and it's a blatant mis representation then I would contact ebay and let them know. Do you have a listing of the auction that you can post here for us to see?

    Good to hear it was something simple and you got it back on track

    John, It pays for itself on the 1st use and then you KNOW the job is done right. I have seen too many people on this site go to a dealer to get their bikes synced and it not be right after we checked it with the Carbtune. I have done many different bikes with mine too, Vtwins and triples alike....break out the Benjamin

    FWIW I'm not sure that I like the setup of that rack. It also only has 1 point of contact and that would be where the ball is bolted as you would have to remove it to use the rack. Many folks use the Reece style hitch like the one that Venturedad makes, I have had one of them and liked it very well. Kromeworks makes a hitch for the Venture that has a plate with the ball installed on it. I made one out of Aluminum and pinned it into my Reece hitch and it worked well. I thought that there was another rack made with that setup that could be bought. I'll see if I can dig it up and hopefully someone will have a link to it.

    You know I just bought a new Ryobi with 2 batteries, we should be good. But thanks for thinking of me

    I wasn't VP, but worked right next to a VP sqadron at Selfridge Air national guard base in Mt. Clemens MI. P3 Orions in Michigan. We also worked with VP's as I was in an anti submarine helo sqadron in Mayport Fl. Played wargames and seek and destroy with the P3 bunch

    Were pretty biased here towards the Venture, they are one of the very best touring bikes out there. I can tell you that my wife and I in '06 did a 28 day 10000 mile romp across the country on my then '99. You will not regret upgrading to the Venture, the comfort is top notch and we did several 750+ mile days during our trip. BTW have you found an '08 that your thinking about?

    I forgot to ask....did Dragonriders "Gift" get passed on??

    carbtune

    Squidley replied to hairman's topic in Watering Hole

    You will need 4 of them if you are going to use them to syncronise the Venture. There are some folks (V7Goose) that have made a sync tool like that. I personally like the carbtune, I have one myself and it works great. I would think by the time you made a gauge setup out of 4 of those gauges and it being somewhat unruly to negotiate with it would be easier to buy a carbtune

    Did you just break your tounge saying that Because it just broke my ears listening to it

    I dont know that the clamps don't look good, of course this is just my opinion. Many folks that just look at the G2 and the R/K mufflers for the 1st time wouldn't be able to tell that they aren't factory.

    No sweat...you'll see it mid week
