Very good points here, personally for me is a shotgun 12 or 20 gauge. Now I'm not some hardass, but if it's me or them, sorry but goodbye. Like mentioned you have to be committed to use a gun towards another person, 1 second of hesitation and your dead. If you don't think you can do it, don't bother with a gun, get an alarm system.

2nd gear I'm not positive, but I dont believe that there will be any problems as the motor is a direct bolt in. The carbs from your 1200 might be an issue, I know some others will chime in on that. The electronic should all be the same too as it is an '85, the '83 had a different TCI if I'm not mistaken. Hang tight I know there will be other that will chime in, I know it has been sucessfully done. BTW.....Welcome to the club!

Don has mentioned it and so have I, someone has to step up to the plate. That being said, it is not like trying to sink a battleship as it may seem. There are quite a few of us that have experience in hosting a rally and there is lots of experience to draw off from. I can only say this for me, but I will be willing to assist whomever decides to step up and host one. I can handle the t shirt order if we decide to do that or hall rentals if thats the case. I know there are many folks willing to help, all that is needed is to ask for it and you would be surprised how many folks will be there.

Run it to the rev limiter hard and I believe he'll have a new found respect for rice

Lonna and I are members, and have attended several functions. Very sobering talking with folks that have lost a loved one, but it's enormous the compassion they feel. it's a very good thing to do.

Great news Tate, let her know were thinking about her and wish her a speedy and limited pain recovery

Looks good to me, wouldn't mind seeing that one up close and how you fabbed it all up, nice work

By like what.....4 days

I have been thinking about you often lately here Don, this is good news indeed. Keep fighting the fight and we'll keep putting a bug in the mans ears for you

Thanks Buddy

I would like to think that anyone that has every been down on a bike knows the importance of a good helmet. I doubt that I would be here today if I wasn't wearing one the 2 times I have been down
-
Please excuse my outburst there Maineac, last spring I went through LOTS of aggrivation with them. I sent them the stator out of my '99 so they could test the stock stator out and see about upgrading one for the RSV. I had nothing but problems with them and they installed it back in the cover wrong. Wouldn't return phone calls or anything, very sore spot for me with that company and I always let folks know about not using them OK off rant

Some folks would gladly take out the "ridin'" part of your statement, but I do try to get in as much saddletime as I can

....or someone he's related to

I haven't heard of any mileage setpoint for Stator replacement, like mention is how the electrical system is used or abused would probably be the best judge of that. It's not a huge PITA, but it is time consuming. I would opt for mthe upgraded stator that Buckeye Performance is selling, DO NOT DEAL WITH ELECTROSPORT! they are lousy in every aspect of their business.

Had a good friend die 2 years ago because he was wearing one of those novelty helmets. Onther guy on a PGR mission same way, they think they are bucking the system, but it's their families that ultimately pay the price....sad to hear

Any word if 2009 Venturer will be EFI?
Squidley replied to frogmaster's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Unless the '09 RSV is totally redesigned with the new Vmax motor I wouldn't count on it. They aren't going to spend the money on FI on a platform that will be going away. If it's the same bike as my '08....I'll say no -
Make a copy of the VR assistance page and take it with you, if you run into problems just call. Have fun and dont try to kill yourself, I have done insane runs to California in a car. If you need thet extra day, take it.

Good job Rooster, I know how hard you folks worked to pull it off. We too have given them thanks

Jerry, Now dont take this as the gospel, as I'm no expert, but I would think that all of your paperwork will be done at your DMV or secretary of state or license beurau (sp?) You'll have to get the VIN # and give them the proof of insurance. I dont believe that you'll have to deal with the out of state licensing as this would mean a double hit for you. Now going from a 2nd gen to a 1st, the 1st will turn much faster. Your inputs in the handlebars will be immediately felt. If it doesn't have highway pegs...BUY SOME the foot position is totally different and you'll want to stretch your legs out. They are great machines, but are a total different beast handling wise from the G2

Al, Thank you for all your efforts that are STILL going on from the rally. I know that Hal and Reiny mentioned numerous times that you were invaluable with your help of the rally. We all appreciated the efforts by all of you folks involved with making the Kitchener rally happen
-
Good thinking on both your behalfs, now if either of you have a detailed write up of how you did this I would be happy to put it into the tech library....good job fellas
-
It's a shame that this has come to pass, but I do apprecieate where your coming from. I would do the same if treated without respect, I do hope that you can find what your looking for elsewhere and a reasonable price

I have used Black RTV on mine and just put it on the back side of the chrome piece. This way it doesn't bleed through to the front, I secure it with electrical tape on the front and rear and when it's dry I peel the front tape off and leave the rear.

Great story telling Tate, you do have a good talent for taking us on the trip with you 2 .....All the best for Mom and her surgery my friend
