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

2005 Rebuild questions
Squidley replied to Wildgoose's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
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

rear shock??
Squidley replied to TxVenture's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
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

How Hot Is Too Hot?
Squidley replied to igya's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
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

Battery Indicator
Squidley replied to okiefirefighter's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
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
-
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.

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
-
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
