    OK Folks, Now it's time to start with the donation amounts. We have our volunteers 21 folks that have taken the baton and will "Run" (pun intended) with our hopes of big weight loss. What we are going to do is have all you members donate towards the total combined weight that all the volunteers have decided to loose, this total is 567 lbs. This weight is what all of us are trying to loose, this also is all that we will ask you folks to honor as far as your donation amounts. If we loose more as a group, the donors will not have to pay above the 567 lbs if they do not wish to. If we end up loosing 700 lbs as a group, thats great and if folks want to donate for whatever the total is thats even better. There is a twist for us who are trying to loose the weight. If we dont meet the goal that we have set for ourselves we will have to pay $1 for every pound we miss our goal by. Kinda keeps us honest about loosing the weight The totals will be taken at Freebirds Maintenance Day on June 6th in Oberlin Ohio. So now it's time to present this to you folks, figure out what you believe that you would like to donate. Just to make it easy to figure out, 0.10 per pound will be $56.70 so you can figure it out what will work for you. As always Thank you to all you that donate and will help to champion this cause. St. Judes is a wonderful hospital and if you went and saw how much good is being done there, you wouldn't hesitate. I will be handling all of the donation amounts, so if your interested in donating PM me with the amount per pound and I'll keep track of all of it. Thank you to all our volunteers who have jumped on board and helped with this idea. Thank you to '93 Venture who thought of it....let the bidding begin Link to 1st thread http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=30853

    Virago's are a decent bike and that would be a good around town runner. Corrosion can be cleaned, if you can get it delivered for $750...I'd say go for it.

    We are done! OK....the folks that are signed up are our volunteers. I will be starting another thread here with all the details. Thank you for all the folks that have volunteered to loose the weight and for Darren for thinking it up....stay tuned for the details

    Ken, I feel like your a friend of mine, and by god I do appreciate that everything is good with the bike. But I have to say this as it is PMS season here in the northern United States BITE ME!

    It's been below zero here in lower Michigan for the past 2 nights....I hate this crap

    Contact, Muffinman or Yammer Dan, they have some spare bikes lying around and might possibly have one.

    Nice innovation...I like it

    I have been thinking of doing the same thing, with a little different air cleaner. I think it looks great and my only concern would be that it would run lean as you really dont have any restriction. My plans were to install ajet kit when I switched over and color tune it accordingly. I would imagine that the throttle responce would be great seeing you would be able to get more air in and out (if you had free flowing mufflers)...looks good to me

    It's not a terrible job Rooster, just takes some time. You going to put a progressive in the rear?
  12. Squidley
    Seeing you started a thread....what are you looking for??
  13. Squidley
    I understand where your coming from Joe, very scary times here in Michigan. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the job that I do. best of luck to you with the bike and I hope your able to get things turned around very soon.

    Your absolutely right Bob, Hertford looks to be about 100 miles or so away. A nice morning ride for the muffin

    Jacques, There will not be a connection on your '84 wiring harness to install a factory cruise control. You would have to completely change the wiring harness over from the '90 onto the '84. It might be a better and easier idea to go with an aftermarket one. You might want to PM Dray on the site here and ask him which one we installed on his bike, I don't recall which model it was, but it was an Audiovox.

    No problem my friend

    OK folks.... As mentioned I am letting this thread run until Wednesday at midnight. I will then stop taking volunteers for this endeavor. I will then post another thread about the donation details and this will be officially under way. If you think you want to try this and be part of the volunteer force then get ahold of me and I'll add you to the list. Good luck to everyone with your goals and here's hoping that we shed the pounds and make a good donation to St. Judes

    Replace the wires and caps as you can get at them easier with the fairings off, otherwise Mike summed it up quite well

    I have a suggestion...well maybe it's really a request....could you please come and get me! I wanna go too

    Steve, I truly though you were pulling our leg, until I tried it.....HOLY COW! That is very trick and really freaks you out when it does come into focus VERY Cool PS: For those of you that are trying to see this here is a tip. Cross your eyes hard and then slowly start to bring them back to normal. There is a point where the pic will come into focus in 3D, but you have to keep your eyes fixed in 1 spot while doing this...hope this helps some.

    Thats a great tool to have, I have the Carbtune and it is invaluable when working on multi carb bikes

    An '07 for $9K......buy it
  23. Squidley
    Very cool idea Rick....and I'm gonna tell you that I will steal your idea and make one for myself

    Whatever they want to call it, I'll say it missed the mark. We went to the bike show last weekend in Novi MI. and I sat on one of them. We may think that our RSV's are antiquated, but the Voyager has only 2 speakers in the front. It also doesn't have the fit and finish that the Venture has. There are a lot of plastic pieces that compose the front upper and lower fairing. I also noticed strait out that some of the plastic pieces still had the molding lines from when it was extruded...it just looks cheap. The saddlebags were VERY flimsy and the hindge assy left a lot to be desired with tolerances. I opened the rear trunk and there is a cable that keeps the lid from over extending. It's not user friendly as it obstructs the useable cargo space of the trunk. This is just me, but there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that I would buy one of the Voyagers to replace my RSV
