    Glad to hear he wasn't hurt, I want to give some advise here. Made damn sure he has an accident report that stated the accident wasn't his fault. i say this because I am getting screwed by my insurance company in the fact that they say our crash in January was my fault. So make sure right now that you get all the paperwork in order so he doesn't have his rates go up....I am in the process of fighting mine and telling the insurance comapny where to shove it

    It will rub on the driveshaft swingarm if I'm not mistaken. You also have to pay CLOSE attention to the weight ratings of the tires you install on the Ventures. Different sizes have different weight ratings, and the Venture needs as heavy a tire as you can put on it.

    Or you could just use some Deodorant

    I heard about this ride a few years back when we were in Cherokee NC just before we went on the Blueridge Parkway. Sounds like it would be interesting, but I'm not a real big fan of that many bikes together at 1 time

    Johanne, As it's been mentioned Thank you for joining the site and coming on with updates of your father. I have been fortunate enough to have spend time with him on a couple of occasions. He's a strong man and I'm confident he'll pull through just fine. Were talking with the maker daily and will continue to do so, you folks are in our thoughts.

    My wife and I suffered the same thing as out tire blew out at 75 mph in Louisiana on I 10....I know we are fortunate to still be here. I have always kept a good eye on my tires and dont push the limits when it comes time to replace them. Always good to keep this type of thing in your minds before a trip or ride.

    There are a few folks here that have installed different mirrors on their 1st gens. Go mup to the search bar and type in mirrors and it will bring up all the threads that pertain to this.

    I haven't heard any big negatives on the wings either. I do know that denden had one right about the year your talking about, might want to PM him and pick his brain. If the price is right...do it PS tell mom we say hello

    Gerry, here's a pic of my '86 whereI changed it over to spade fuses. Here is where I bought it, they also have a 6 position but I liked having the 8 one for additional uses. http://terminalsupplyco.com/Store/Product.aspx?pc=ATO-FB8

    I'd like to take a minute and hopefully shed some light for some folks perhaps. Now I know there are a lot of folks here that have met me or know me personally. It's hard on the internet to trust someone that you really dont know, especially when they come on asking for money donations. I dont expect folks to trust me because I am a moderator or that I post a lot, thats not reality in this day and age. There are many folks that will attest to my character in the fact that I keep track of every cent that is donated for whatever. I keep detailed records of all the trans actions, and I have and never will screw folks here out of money. This being said, I can understand folks not necessarily wanting to send monies out to me for this donation....you dont know me, and I appreciate that. What I would like to suggest is if you do want to donate, and you just dont feel right sending money to me for this event. Please feel free to go to Mark Stills Tribute page http://stj.convio.net/site/TR/Events/Tribute?px=1618382&pg=fund&fr_id=1341 at St. Judes website and donate directly, all we are looking to do is help St. Judes. None of us that are involved with this will benefit monetarily, we just believe in this cause. I have mentioned it earlier, if you have questions or concerns, by all means get ahold of me either through email or PM. To all that have donated thank you again for your trust, and for those that will donate.....thank you too

    Honda did a much better job of marketing the Wing back in the '80's, Yamaha didn't do squat. The 1st gen Venture was WAY ahead of it's time, there wasn't an era wing that could keep up with it. The new Wing is an awsome machine, I have rode a few, and there is no comparison between the 20 + year old technology and the new Wing. Sorry to say, the 1st gen wont outperform one, but they can keep up pretty well.

    Tim, I'm north of Detroit, if you want to shoot over I have a carbtune and would be glad to sync the bike for you and show you how it's done.

    Check and make sure that your pads are in correctly, yes they can be put in wrong...dont ask how I know that and yes there is some soft noise after installation until the caliper centers itself out.

    Sad News

    Squidley replied to FJR Rider's topic in Watering Hole

    Very Sad, very sad.....Lonna and I know what it's like to loose a child (granddaughter for us) You folks will be in our thoughts, it makes no sense to us, but the maker obviously has a reason...all the best to your family.

    Warning!

    Squidley replied to Bubber's topic in Watering Hole

    It's been said that when you attend a function, be it M&E or a rally, you'll be addicted. We went to the 1st PIP and it was a Hoot, laughed so hard it hurt! I'm glad to see that you had a good time and made new friends, thats really what it's all about

    Brads on the right track, if you haven't done a COMPLETE tune up, dont waste your time with anything else. Get that done 1st and then start troubleshooting, clean all your connections and then start with thermostat and so forth....
