    Like Darrin mentioned, the collector could be a culprit, but I would also look at the exhaust pipes where they connect into the heads. There are copper crush rings between the heads and the ends of the pipes. Perhaps one of your pipes is loose and leaking there

    You gotta be careful with making those statements, it could be cheaper to let a dealer fix it than try to feed and thirst quench some of these folks

    Good job folks, very good cause to support

    Remember too that the saddle bags off the Venture will fit it too. The cruise doesn't engage below 4th gear either, let us know of the progress as it comes along

    Thanks Joe...I appreciate the offer and will just have to play it by ear

    Pull off your seat and that black tank under it is the gas tank. On the right rear of the tank os a small 3" oval cover....thats the fuel sender. #22 on this diagram is the sender

    Absolutely I have had them on 3 of my bikes

    Dave, Might be just as easy to get a Firestik and change it over, then you never have to worry about it again. It's adjustable also for the tuning of the CB
  9. Squidley
    Don, What I would 1st suggest is to take all the air out of the shock and refill it. Also move the damper knob to differnt settings. If you have a problem after that I would suggest you might start looking for a rear shock. Matter of fact I have one and I'll send it to you just in case ( I have your addy)

    It's a 1st gen...that was easy, do you have harder questions
  11. Squidley
    Yep....The gauges on the 1st gen are not real accurate and there isn't any need to worry. All the 1st gens I had ran right close to the redline, after I found out that this is normal I just rode them....no worries.

    Ok...now isn't the time to be modest Earl...lets see the BLING!

    I'm not fancy on the Vision as far as looks go, but I will admit that Victory is thinking outside the box, and thats good. I guess my biggest concern would be how hot does it get? I have seen them in person and I would have to believe that if you were stuck in traffic on a hot day that you would cook! I have heard great things on the handling, and perhaps one day I will take one out for a ride. I have to say that I still have found no better fit for me than the RSV

    I have done half a dozen of the mods that 93 Venture posted up. Works great and you dont have any more worries.

    That is a nice looking bike with a fair amount of customizing on it. I dont know realistic market value on it, but somewhere around $5K would probably be in the ballpark.

    Good to hear that Mom is doing good, we knew she was going to be hell on wheels once she got back in business. Cool website, I couldn't agree more with some of your statements and how you present them

    All this time off work for my back has put me in a precarious position, but if by chance we can swing something....we will
  18. Squidley
    I wouldn't go over $2K tops for it just due to the amount of work that will need to be done to it. You could easily spend $2K on replacing rubber parts and other incindentals, by then you have $4K into it and then it's really not a deal. I like the $1K offer and keep the # low to that...good luck on it. I want to get a 2nd bike for jamming miles on back and forth to work.
  19. Squidley
    Always good to hear from you Devildog, now you live in the part of the country that is actually hot as hell We too miss seeing you and Linda, we'll have to work on curing that. I do hope you folks might be able to hit the International in Arkansas. Be safe my friend and remember were thinking of you folks
  20. Squidley
    Several times my friend...it's always a good story
  21. Squidley
    I have only seen 1 of these scoots in my life and if I had an opportunity to get one at a good price I would. Hope it all works out for you my friend, but I want to be upwind of you, Buddy is a strange character wanting to be downwind
  22. Squidley
    Be safe Wil and you and Beth have a good time
  23. Squidley
    Kevin, Glad to hear that it worked out for you, as always if you have questions go ahead and ask. Have fun on the new performing bike
  24. Squidley
    ....and they didn't run you over the coals
  25. Squidley
    Be safe and we'll follow your progress....BTW we are getting VERY close to the St. Judes goal
