Not mine you goof!....but mine is a nice used one Thats what I was leaning towards when I made my statement, knowing what you just mentioned I wouldn't offer any more than about $2500 for the bike.
-
I know Don can change it, I'll ask him how it's done as I might be able to access it also. If you really want it done, let me know and we'll make it happen. BTW that is me just being a smart alec, I mean no disrespect by it, but I broke my tounge trying to say your last name about 3 weeks ago

Colortune, I don't think I am impressed . . .
Squidley replied to V7Goose's topic in General Tech Talk
I'm with you Goose, I wasn't real impressed with it either. Mine broke at Floyds maintenance day as they are a PITA to use on an RSV. They exchanged it easily enough with no hassles. I found the same thing as you in the fact that there was a large gray area of how much to turn the screws. I'll probably try it again, but I would love to see a detailed how to video of how it's "Supposed" to work -
PB&J.....from what I have seen with your "sketches" just let your talent flow and design whatever you wish. I'm sure it will be fantastic...good work bud

To be honest, there is a lot of work to do to that bike. It has already been messed with and I wouldn't be surprised if it has a salvage title. Not trying to rain on anyones parade, but by the time that you fixed it all up and looking pretty, you'll probably have about $5 or $6 K in it. You could buy a nice used one for that kind of money and not have to screw with it. If it was purely a project and it didn't amtter when it was finished, that might work out

The 130 will give a more neutral feel on the bike, but there is a cost. If you do a lot of riding IE; interstate, you will get pushed around a lot more by the wind. I have had a 130 Avon Venom on my 2nd '99 and didn't like the squirrely feeling in a heavy cross wind. If you have the inseam height to go with leveling links and the stock 150 front, I think you will be much happier as the results are almost identical. I have run both ways and have an inseam of 32 inches.

Lyle....all I know is that we were taken to Baton Rouge Hospital and it didn't take us an hour to get there

I'm with Jack on this one, that scoot has lots of bling and I would just hold out the adjuster. If he says he'll give you $2200 and keep the bike, tell him you want him to find you the same bike with all the extras in the same condition and bring it to you.....I wont even get started on claim adjusters

I feel for you....No really I do

problems with turn lihts
Squidley replied to Raiki's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think that I would start looking for a grounded out wire, or the flasher relay. I know we'll get some others to chime in as long as we keep this up top -
Oil in air box
Squidley replied to 5bikes's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Many times if you have this it is because the crankcase is over filled with oil. The 1st gens are especially tempermental to having too much oil. I never fill them over half of the site glass, even if it's just under the top of the glass it will spit oil in the airbox. -
Definitely different....but not something I would want to drive, kudo's for thinking out of the box though

Thom, We took I-10 from NOLA to Houston and back to Baton Rouge. The road wasn't bad if you are in a car, but we all know that my bike didn't like that stretch before Baton Rouge If you in the cage you should be just fine, if your on a bike, WATCH those damn reflectors as I'm sure thats what took our rear tire out

Cool Beans my friend!!!

Good on all you folks Lewis! Nothing is better than seeing younguns with a smile from a simple act of compassion. Those little ones will never forget this day....I'm real proud of you my friend

Man he's already digging himself a hole here

I can come down to your place and get it and bring it home with me. We can get it over to Canada from my place and over to Darrell. Not a problem and I have about 11 days off between Christmas and New Years, give me a good day to come and get it and we'll make it happen
-
Thanks Boomer...the offer is right back at you. If you do make it over here Big Tom would be very jealous that you got a cheesecake before him Sorry about the

From a personal standpoint I would like to thank all of you that have let us view a little bit of your souls. My ranting didn't really let you in to mine personally, but I appreciate that, at times, we as a group can talk about very serious things here on this site without it becoming a rant and free for all. It's always a "HOPE" that folks can wake up and stand tall, it is apparent here that many of you have, and beat the odds, I congradulate all of you. I also dont want anyone to feel that I was or am singling them out. We all have opinions on issues and many are right to left. I'll stand with Bigfoot and say that it's not my place to forgive anyone, that IS Gods job. I only wish that people would accept responsibility for their actions. Thank you to all that have "shared" with all of us here
