    Keitho, Not that I'm an expert at anything, but I have never heard of any problems with Avons. I talk with lots of bikers and I have heard more problems with the 880's for bikers I dont even know at some local haunts. I talked with a guy that rides a Harley and went through 2 880's on his H/D. I just think that we should all just send an email to Metzler and let them know that we aren't going to support their product as long as this keeps happening. We all aren't to blame like they say for under/Over inflation for a problem on their crappy tire

    No sweat my friend, I have done the same thing many times

    This may be a dumb question on my part, but the Ventures have them on the right side bar cluster by the starter switch. Do the RSTD's have them there, and it might have been overlooked

    Fellas, I do take paypal, my addy there is weldman333@yahoo.com If you want to pay with something other than paypal shoot me a PM or email and I'll send you my home addy. Plenty to go around and I'll start getting sets boxed and ready to go for you

    Jeremy....you got some brass cahoneys or you were dropped often while young. GOD was watching over you, dont you remember in January when my bike blew a rear tire at 75 mph...your a lucky fella to be sure.

    Wayne, If you click on the link below the 2nd paragraph, it will show the ad in the classifieds with pics.

    Perhaps...but if it has doors I still feel like it's a car with a bike front end. Personally I would go with a convertable

    Dave, Where abouts in Warren are you? I work in Pontiac and live in Marine City. If you like I could stop over and give you a hand.

    I agree more with Neil, if by chance a rust flake came through and cut through the filer it would end up in a carb. Now your talking time and money to screw with it and down time. An automobile is the same way, 2 or sometimes 3 filters before it gets to the carb or FI

    I dont know if there is a specific reason other than possibly loading up the plug. I do know a few that set the idle to a lope as it sounds a bit meaner with aftermarket pipes

    It's that time again, so here we go..... Lets call it from now until September...oh 15th, I'm taking $5 off of the H/D Muffler brackets. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1370/cat/1 They are normally $40 shipped to your door, so now let's call them $35 shipped in the continental USA and $40 into Canada (sorry guys, mail is eating me alive shipping to you) If you have been procrastinating and waiting to see if they will go on sale, here's the chance. I have about 10 sets ready to go. So come on now and buy them up, I need some more chrome for the '08

    It's that time again, so here we go..... Lets call it from now until September...oh 15th, I'm taking $5 off of the 1st gen driving light brackets. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1371 They are normally $30 shipped to your door, so now let's call them $25 shipped in the continental USA and $30 into Canada (sorry guys, mail is eating me alive shipping to you) If you have been procrastinating and waiting to see if they will go on sale, here's the chance. I probably have about 40 sets left and once they are gone....their gone, I wont be making anymore So come on now and buy them all up, I need some more chrome for the '08
  19. Squidley

    Nice work Earl I know when I had my '86 it was lit up like Christmas in the back, good job
  21. Squidley
    Rooster....I think that I might have the 4 bolts from the '86 when I swapped out to the super brace. I'll do my best to remember tomorrow to look for them and if I do have them I'll get them shipped off to you.

    Just a bit of clarification here, It's not Harleys were bashing....it's their riders that are close minded. I like many of the Harleys, if they weren't so darn expensive I might have one. I ride the RSV because it fits me well and I like how it feels and it's a good value. My biggest problem is that arrogent people that ride Harleys need to be brought to reality from time to time

    Warden, I'm not going to blow smoke here to you, I know a lot of us (Men) have done that at one point in our lives. Obviously I dont know Dan as well as you, but the pic you saw was an expression of elation for being back on the bike he truly wanted. I can empathize with how you feel, but I also know how he flet when that pic was taken. Please dont be too hard on the boy, I know everyone of us has done something stupid or unwise that we may or may not got caught at. I know from talking with him that he has been miserable trying to get back on a Venture. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive the bonehead, we love him too

    35 mpg

    Squidley replied to FROG MAN's topic in Trailer Talk

    Gerry, Thats about right, I know that when I pulled a trailer I would get 32 to 36 mpg. Your not bad at all with that. Besides....how much stuff did Mamamo pack

    Sounds to me like you didn't have the petcock in the reserve position. I hit the reserve at right around 175 miles and it takes about 4.5 gallons to fill it. I have the vent holes in my filler neck and fill it right up to the top if I'm getting right back on the road. It will leak if you let it set in the sun as it will expand, if you get right back on and ride, it will use it before it does expand.
