    Non of the Ventures 1st or 2nd gens use radials, just biased ply I use the Avon Venoms Some have not been as lucky as you, if tires aren't stored correctly they can start to break down. I myself dont want to pay top dollar for an old stock tire...but this is just me.

    Well at least you didn't stalk him and scare the hell out of him in the process I find that once folks come to the site, most of them stick around, good job on ballyhooing us up

    Here is a post on a possible answer about the return vent being plugged, I have had this happen to me on my 1st '86 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12419 The caliper being sticky too is another option.

    Thanks Lewis, I know I am all to guilty of getting wrapped up my own life and whizzing by everything else. I am right on board with you in hoping that any an all of our members that can, will stop by and sign the guest book and donate if it's in their means. I want to thank you for all your efforts Lew, there are a few members here that go beyond the call for friendship and the love of their fellow man. I have the utmost respect for what certain members have done for this cause...well done my friend.

    Mike, Sounds like the typical clutch slippage on the G2's, really not a big deal. It's a fairly easy fix and not real expensive. 2 options basically to upgrade the system, one being a Barnett and the other being a kit from PCW. I have done several of the PCW upgrades and have been VERY happy with the results from them. It's an inexpensive kit about $90 and you can change it out with the bike on it's sidestand without loosing any oil (yeah I just noticed the trike). I have also done a couple of the Barnett kits, which work well too, but cost a bit more money. I recommend the PCW, heres the site http://www.pcwracing.net/ John Gayne is a great guy to deal with and I have talked with him on the phone several times. I'll throw out too that if you would like some help with changing it out, I'd be glad to assisit you. Hope this helps you out a bit.

    Good to hear that you got a deal...but I'll play devil advacate here, check the date code on the tire. It may seem like a great deal until you find out that your tire has been sitting on the shelf for 2 years....just a heads up and my .02 worth

    The RSV's and for that matter 1st gens I have found to be cold blooded. I always put on full choke start them up and let them run for a couple of minutes. Once riding I take the choke off accordingly and have never had any real issues with them. Running the seafoam through it wont hurt a bit, and make sure that your carb sync is good.

    Rich, Thats a tough question as it really depends on what kind of job you want. I would say for a real nice job where you took the panels to someone about $1500 + This is purely an guess on my behalf, but I'm sure some folks will chime in and set me strait if I'm way off.
  16. Squidley
    I dont think I have ever seen any aftermarket wheels that will fit the RSTD or the RSV, I think the stock ones are just butt ugly

    Jack & Bev, I never like seeing those titles, but am very relieved to hear that you folks aren't any worse than you are. It seemed like yesterday that Lonna and I had our accident in Baton Rouge. I too had never had such a bad wreck in better than 100000 miles riding scoots. Heal up well and take the time to get it done right, get everything that your entitled to from the other party. Were thinking of you folks and wish a speedy recovery to you both.

    TJ, Some of us use Speedbleeders, http://www.speedbleeder.com/ install them on the bike and you wouldn't believe how easy it is to completely replace the Brake Fluids on all the parts that use it. If you want a hand with it I would be happy to assist you.

    Leadwolf56 is outside of Elkhart...and he loves to ride

    Ebay or fabricate your own, like mentioned it's a 20+ year old bike. Just to play devils advocate here quickly, folks think that parts go high on ebay, and some of them do. But if you think about how much you would pay for chrome parts on say a new RSV...they really aren't as high as you might think.

    Jerry, There is a definitely a different feel when you swap the PCW kit in. I too noticed it when I did mine, but like mentioned you get used to it very quickly. Give it a few rides and I believe you'll forget about, it's not going to hurt anything.

    Jay, Your in our thoughts bro, as mentioned it's not a death warrant, Lonna has been a type 1 diabetic for almost 13 years. She does amazingly well in controlling it, it will take some time to get used to. If you do have it, sounds like it will be type 2 and could be controlled with diet and a possible prescription. It's scary because it's you and I can imagine the feeling, but it will all work out my friend...the phone is always on and your welcome to talk to us anytime you want.

    Gene, Your fabrication skills are great, I could only imagine the trouble you and I could get into if we got to make something together Very cool idea and looks terrific
  24. Squidley
