Got 'er done!!!!
Squidley replied to Dano's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
That is one naked bike Dan! Looks like ylou'll have her done in enough time for the ice age to thaw out -
Spring isn't far off....we went for a drive today and I saw buds on the trees
-
Done....matter of fact Lonna's mother is going in tomorrow for her second masectomy. We'll have her here for a few days after the operation, it will work out I'm sure
-
Funny you mention that Eddie, Lonna and I were heading to Walmart and passed a guy on a Harley going the other way on 26 mile rd. I laughed and thought about it for a minute....if I had a bike today that could have been me
-
Nice job, you'd be hard pressed not to know that they aren't stock
-
Allan, As always, as many times as it's been said, the phone is always on and we love you more than you know. As your heart aches know that our hearts too ache for you and the loss we all share with Debs departure. I look forward to seeing you this year and doing some more riding, Deb will be there with all of us. Thanks for trusting us with your heart Bro

Different, not my cup of tea....but different

Never good when a brother goes down and doesn't make it. May all his roads be clear and sunny from now on.
-
That was very cool....Semper Fi
-
Mike is correct, I have the dream catcher. We are working on getting it to the next rally....more to come
-
That pic of you and Don together still reminds me of Deliverence with the look of horror on Don's face...I still laugh everytime I look at it
-
As long as your not giving it to yourself, I'm sure it will be fine
-
Thats a drag, but I totally understand how she feels
-
Not uncommon at all, most of the dealers now have young guys working on them and know nothing of the older tech. I was lucky enough to find one by me on my 1st '84 VR. Since then I have just learned everything I could on the bikes and fix it myself.

I think that for additional lighting to be noticed they would work great. The price is a bit steep for my blood but they will eventually come down. I dont believe that they will put out enough Lumens to be used as true driving lights...interesting though
-
Perhaps if she's game....we could give it another go
-
Eddie, On the '99 I had mine attached with a black ziptie on the lower most portion of the crash bar. Thats probably where the next one will go on the next bike
-
Hopefully these wont make you feel worse, but I have to say that '05 was an awsome year for us too....here are just a few memories of it
-
Lonna and I also use sheepskins, I love them and as stated keep the butt cool in summer and warm in winter...buy one, you wont regret it
-
I saw that too Forrest...ebay can really be a funny place to watch folks pay new prices for used stuff
-
Are you getting bored again Boss Shirts look good, I'm sure I'll want a few if and when it comes to reality
-
Enjoy the new ride Rex, hope you decide to stick around

Dan, I know there have been a few members that have installed the R/K pipes on a 1st gen. It's not a simple a swap as it is on a G2 the bracket mounting techniques are varied. I know that Dragonrider has a set on his '83 and Don B out of Ontario has a set too. Might want to PM one of those fellas and they can fill you in a bit more, or just type it in search above. Brian, The brackets do make it virtually painless, they are hidden so you dont see them as they are under the saddlebags. They bolt directly onto the H/D mufflers and are designed to bolt directly into the factory mounting spot where the stock mufflers hook up. Here's the post I have in the classifieds. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/288/cat/7/limit/recent/date/1157932426

...of the R/K muffler brackets ready to go. I just wanted to give you G2 folks the heads up if you were waiting to get a set

Do it yourself, know that it's done right and I wouldn't worry about telling the dealer anything. If you mention it, it could turn into a bigger mess than you anticipated
