    I would never advise that anyone ride with a known problem, that being said, I dont believe that 2 weeks will do it depremental damage. Some have ridden for a lot longer until they actually found out what the problem actually was...you should be OK.

    Jack, Seeing I'm back into the antiques I was looking at getting a superbrace for the '86 that I picked up. Not that it has anything to do with this post, but wasn't there a member that was making these, from Canada I think Yes my hand is raised BTW

    I have built trailers with both sizes, it's all about how often you'll be doing maintenance. 12" tires will spin slower @ hwy speeds so will require less maintenance. You wont even recognise the weight rating on either tire as the bike would be so grossly overrated. I have pulled a trailer I built with 8" tires over 20000 miles with zero problems. That being said as long as you keep them greased regularly either will work fine. I prefer the look of the 12" over the 8" so thats what I build them with now.

    There were 2 styles of choke levers on the 1st gens. 1 was around the handlebar and you twisted it to engage it. The 2nd was under the the left handlebar assy that you slid right or left. As far as I can remember the Ventures that I had were the button push style for the signals.

    One of these days Steve, I still want to get over there and go down under. Looks like you had some good weather in that shot

    Mike, Ride over to my house and we'll drill them out right on the bike....doesn't get any easier than that

    Al, Just FWIW I would use an 1 1/8" holesaw as the 1 1/4" might be a bit too large. The baffles will fall right out, and if the pipes are on the bike and you drill them start it up with a rag behind the exhaust and they will pop right out.

    I thought you fell off the edge of the earth Chuck I hear you on just taking it in, the aggrivation factor can outweigh the money. Get it rolling and lets do another ride, but hopefully without all the rain

    Very nice, I like that idea, I'm sure there will be many more folks that will follow your lead

    Couldn't have said it better myself, I treat everthing with a healthy does of skeptisizm. It would be great if it infact was the truth....but I dont plan on being shot at on my bike

    Ray, The rear are as you think, strait forward. The front you have to remove the engine braces to access them. Taking the tank off will give you more room to move around and it will make getting the braces off easier. As far as the torque, I have always just torqued by feel as I've been doing it for 30 years. The torque is 13 lbs on the plugs here is other torque specs that are on the site. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=514&highlight=torque+specifications

    It can be done, but it would take a lot of fabrication to make brackets that would make it work. I might be trying to come up with a bracket that can do this for adapting the H/D mufflers onto the 1st gens (which some members have done already). It would take a lot of work for whomever to swap it over I would imagine.

    Looks like fun....just remember dont drink the water

    I'm looking forward to it Curt, now just need to get my scoot on the road

    Thanks for thinking of me Dan, but there will be no projects this year. That one there is just like they said...a parts bike. I do appreciate you thinking of me though buddy
  22. Squidley
    Nice pics Diane, good to see you had a good turn out...and that the Ambassador made it
  23. Squidley
    Never a bore to see pics of a beautiful scoot, good to hear that the site is helping you out. The more money you save with good advise, the more chrome or fuel you get to put in the bike

    Don and Linda are great folks, we had a wonderful time with them at the surprise M&E when we were in Texas. It's always fun to hook up with other folks here, I have never had a bad time with any of our members...glad Y'all had a good time
  25. Squidley
    We'll help it along Mike...thats why were here You mentioned being able to look into the pipes and see through them? If this is the case then the baffles have already been removed as the baffles would block your sight when looking through them. As far as comapring the sound, we'll have to get with another of the Michigan members as my '99 was totalled in January We'll make it happen one way or another
