Get's the job done Brian....you can always paint it later and or modify
-
Bingo...we have a winner, that exactly what I do, fill it till it just seeps out and put the plug back in. It's not going to hurt a thing

Clay, Make sure that there is a good amount of air in the rear shock. If your low on air, it will set lower to the ground and will be a bear to get on the stand. Once your used to how it goes it's no problem...but check that rear shock, if you have questions you can PM me.

Curt, Just hang around a while...you ain't seen nothin' yet Hope to see you at one of the Meets and Eats this year...now that's when it gets real interesting
-
Well I'm not from Ohio...but I do occasionally drive through and in it. You might want to think about having a Meet and Eat down that way, you might be surprised how many will show....Betcha I would

Dan, The ones that I have seen it's no an issue at all, quick disconnect from one to the other

Brian, I have never personally used the product, but it sounds an awful lot like Brazing to me, only with aluminum. If your actually going to try and Fuse the metal together, what Mother said is spot on. Aluminum is a tricky metal to weld, it has to be absolutely clean and of a high quality. Dirty Aluminum will explode as soon as you hit it with a higher temp. I have made an aluminum basket for the rear of the RSV, it was on our bike when we crashed in Baton Rouge. I had Tig welded it together and still ran into a few hiccups with less thasn desireable metal. I would go with the idea of riveting it, aluminum isn't cheap and if the process your talking about goes south, then you have a lot of useless metal...just a few pennies more.

It's obvious that he wasn't BEHIND Jeff....that would be a totally different smell

I thought Mother had a GPS Was there a problem with the one he had??
-
Thank you Lewis Your efforts are very much appreciated
-
Looks like a lot of fun, but for me it could never replace the feeling of an open aired bike.
-
Good post, glad that you got it figured out and I'm sure this will help someone down the line -
Very Trick Keith! I'll bet you got some strange looks riding that around, very cool idea
-
Good on Ya Steve....I'm only dreaming right now of a nice long bike trip like that. Congrats on the new inlaw too...many happy returns to both of them

It's somewhat of a crap shoot as I have had a short shield on my bikes. Wife didn't like the buffeting that she got, so I went with a taller wider one and she was happy. I suppose it all depends on how and how long you ride. We do a lot of long distance rides, with a lot of intersatate speeds. Basically your just going to have to put one on and find out if momma can live with it. I would suggest that even if you go shorter that you go with a wider model as that will help with the buffeting on your passenger.

I know that Mark did the St. Judes run with Dragonrider last year. I know he was fond of the program, perhaps we can approach St. Judes on a memorial in his honor?? And Black Owl is sending flowers, thank you for thinking about it

I wanted to post this up for all our members. I just got off the phone with Nancy Stills (Mean Dogs wife) and she wanted this info to be posted up. They are having a memorial service for Mark at his home in Madden MS. on Saturday March 22nd @ 2pm. If the weather turns bad then it will be held @ the Madden Baptist Church. If anyone would like Marks addy, PM me and I'll send you the info, I dont want to post it here on the site. I know that the family would appreciate any friends of Marks to attend if possible. I just want to mention that I have changed the time. It will start at 2 PM and not 4 like was mentioned, getting old is hard sometimes!

Forever Bleeding (brakes)
Squidley replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Just to play devil advocate, you did bleed the up on the dash area where the triple trees are correct. There is a bleed screw there that goes down to the left front caliper and can be overlooked. Other than that everything else has been mentioned that I can think of right now -
Amazing the reflections that life affords us, hopefully to carry us onward to be better people. As much as I wanted a miracle to happen, there were others that had different plans. I feel very fortunate to have been able to spend time with Mark and Nancy. Those memories are some of the best that I have, I'm just upset that I have to wait to see my brother again. But rest assured, the 1st thing that I will want when I am able to embrace you again my friend....is the ride that we never got to have on this planet. Mark and Nancy....Lonna and I love you, that will never change Kbran....we love you too my friend, God will smile upon you for being as good a friend to Mark as you have been.

I hear you on the nice weather...it's 56 here in the SW part of Michigan...sure do wish I had a bike Were all pulling for Mark, a nicer fella you wont find, I sure do hope that we get a miracle here.

Those will work fine, there are several dealers that are in our preferred vendors list that you can order a gasket from if you like
-
Good to see you back here Brandi, it's been a long time. Sounds like some doors closed and new ones opened, enjoy your new direction
-
As soon as I get one....I'll be on it
