    I'll second what Freebird said here, I have NEVER seen a political post that has not turned bad. As for the statement like this "I thought that political discussions were not allowed. I guess that's only if you disagree with the admin". I welcome you to PM ANY of the moderators, we all try very hard not to make this a dictatorship. If you feel like we are, then perhaps this is not the site for you and you might want to visit other sites. I'll tell anyone like it is, if you come here to stir the pot, or bash what goes on here....LEAVE. This is a free site and you have nothing into it, and frankly we dont need to babysit people like that. Sorry if you feel it has come out harsh, but you wont find a better bunch of folks anywhere on the web. I'm like Don and have STRONG political beliefs, but none of you know them from listening to them on this site, because I dont bring them here. Lets all work hard to keep them out of here, and if you have to lable a thread saying "This isn't meant to be political".....it probably will be.

    In 1 of the pics it shows that a Midnight RSV has towed it Thats a pretty good deal by US standards, and a great one by Canadian

    Dan, Haven't seen you on in forever it seems like, yes I do have brackets. Shoot me a PM and we'll get it rolling. Brian, I am getting ready to package yours up here this morning before work. I'll have Lonna send them out today

    Some folks have used the Harley Trunkpac on theirs. I also know there is a small aftermarket version of one, but it doesn't seem right as far a scale. You could always throw a RSV trunk on it

    Ken, I have been installing the round aircraft vents in the G2's windshields for a while now. Here is where you can buy them from... http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/snapvents.php You want the part # CC-3251 Let me know if you have problems getting the to the big island, I can order a set for you and ship them through USPS

    Thanks for coming on Mrs. Vicco, by all means if you have other questions or concerns feel free to ask them. We welcome you to join up under your own name, there is a sizeable part or the membership that are women and I KNOW will be happy to talk your ear off. 1 mile at a time....you'll get there just fine, looking forward to seeing you on one of the trips I'm sure you'll be taking

    Thanks for taking the time with your write up Don, and it makes good sense. I buy K&N's because I never have to do it again, there's my cost savings. BTW....I would be interested in a set from you for my '08, can you get them??
  12. Squidley
    I agree, but dont use it on the front.

    Thanks again for the update Johanne...as always, if you need something let us know...All the best

    1000 rpm, I wouldn't go much lower than that as the oil pressure when it's hot isn't very good. The extra rpm keeps oil headed up top and will keep you that much more into the power range on takeoff.

    Same here, although I will agree with different areas of the country will get different results. I just use the 87 and run it, I'm not light on the throttle so it really is a waste for me
  17. Squidley
    Thats the way to go, fast and doing what you love...hope I'm that lucky
  18. Squidley
    I'll have to change that....even though you never call

    We have a list of folks that offer assistance, I have one in the back of the bike. All you need to do is call and folks will come and help. This is a really cool place, and your never truly alone when your on a Venture. Kudos to our brother in arms who showed up and helped
  20. Squidley
    Thats entirely possible Sonny, my problem is I can't stay out of the throttle well enough to see what my best gas mileage is Glad it seems to be working out for you and thanks for the write up

    I know that's the reason that Lonna has got back on the bike is she trusts my abilities. It's a huge deal to be on the back seat and letting someone else make decisions. I'm very happy that Lonna did get back on, I'm sure that Mrs. Vicco will get to that point...1 mile at a time

    Put a vaccume gauge on it 1st JT, every bike I have ever done has the vaccume ports on the intake manifolds or very close to where the carbs are hooked into the heads. Also try to remove the restrictor tubes from inside the Carbtune and see how that goes.

    Right On! Good for him, nothing better than getting out into the REAL world and seeing what it's all about

    Here's the most important thing to me that I believe will help you....have total trust in your driver. If you are nervous about the drivers abilities it will compound your fears. I wear a half helmet as does my wife, after wearing full faces all my life. I'm not into how supposedly a full face will save you, but by hearing more and having no periferal vision impared can make it more enjoyable. It will take time and effort to overcome it, but the rewards are huge when the Zen moment hits you

    Mike, I knew it was the rear as I lost control of the rearend as it started sliding sideways. I did have time to react, which is surprising because in 10 seconds it was over from start to finish. I was able to countersteer 3 times before I blacked out just before we entered the median between the freeway. I was happy to realise that I didn't think at all, I reacted to what the bike was doing faster than I could think. I might have been able to save it if we were going somewhat slower, but we were at freeway speed Lots of sound thinking there, I know just the other day on my '08 I found loose bolts holding on the trunk rail where it connects beside the rear fender. I always take off my saddlebags when i was too and I look at the rearend and tire good.
