    Bring em with you, I'd like to see how that deep frier works

    Andy, Flyinfool has it down with what he mentioned, if you extend the tongue it will tow lots better. A cooler on the front is also a great idea, I did that on my 1st custom one I built. Use a good quality grease and I would strongly recommend installing bearing buddies on the hubs. Before I would use mine I would jack the side up and pump the bearing buddy full of grease while spinning it to insure there was plenty in there. The LED tail lights are a must to keep the load to a minimum on the charging system. When you do tow it dont fill the tires up to full pressure, 15 to 20 psi is PLENTY in them. They wont bounce as much and with what your going to be hauling in there. There is lots of good advise in the trailer section.

    You'll have to pay attention to the rim width and the swing arm width....

    That will work just fine, I built one and sold it to Hazenson before we left Michigan. Pulled great and it's so much more convenient on trips not having to load the hell out of the bike.

    Thank YOU Patti, it's folks like you with great ideas and intentions that make this site what it is

    Thanks for the clarification Lewis, the old rememberer isn't what it used to be. Regardless I'm in for both

    Happy Birthday!!!

    Hang tough big guy, I know it's a pita, but your only doing yourself a favor by going through with it.....all the best to you my friend

    This is a nice idea, and I am in for it also, but if I'm not mistaken aren't we as a group working on getting the $10K donation for a Mark Stills (Mean Dog) plaque? My memory isn't what it used to be, so I can be totally off base here

    I haven't heard of anyone wanting to change out tires. I do need to put a set on the 1st gen, so here's what I'll do. I will show anyone that wants to learn how to change your tires on a 1st gen without using a motorcycle jack. I have done this several times using just the centerstand and it's pretty strait forward. So if you'd like to see how it's done stop by and I'll show y'all. I'll see if we can video it as well as some pics. Looking forward to seeing everyone

    The splines are identical and how they fit into the rear end, the fingers that fit into the hubs are the same style also. The difference is the wheel design, it very well may fit from 1 bike to the other

    I have built a couple of trailers with that kit, put a car topper on it and it worked great. Pull the trigger, you wont have any issues

    Good to hear your recovering at home Buddy! Take your time and heal up well, give it time, you have all winter to decide what you want to do. If you decide to fix the trike, let me know as I am going to start to part out the '99 I have down here.

    Sean, Some good advise here, personally I dont have a switch on my driving lights. They are hooked up directly to a relay that comes on when I turn the ignition to the on position. You'll more than likely have to pull the fax gas tank cover and see where the wires are hooked into? If they have an inline fuse hooked directly to the battery or something to that effect. Some pics would be helpful in helping you trace it down.

    Thank You folks, It was a reasonable day, went to work (should have called off instead) then home, shower and met Lonna, our daughter and her beau at a place that claimed to have the best burgers in Houston, call Smashburger. It was a decent burger, but driving into North Houston to get it just plain sucked! Now were at home and I'm having some Moose Tracks Ice Cream It was a good day, and you know what, this is the oldest I've ever been....and it's a little north of 40, getting closer to 50 Thanks again
  16. Squidley
    Probably a pretty good chance we'll be able to make that
  17. Squidley
    I hope you can make it, we can get you a lot of education while your here even if you dont have either one of your bikes with you. The 1st gen and RSTD wheels are pretty much identical so they have the same hub set up.

    I have 1 fryer and we'll have burgers and dogs here too, so I think we'll have the dead stuff covered. I'll get Don's cooler back to him as I have both of them from Doodles BTW I posted it up in the calendar http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=340&day=2012-10-27

    Have you ever had the rear wheel off and inspected the hub fingers? Is the pig oil level good? couple of things it could be, but removal of the wheel will shed some light on it a bit better....get it over here to MD and we'll figure it out
  20. Squidley
    That doesn't surprise me a bit with Canadians, Good job all our brothers and sisters to the north

    Gary, My door is always open and you, as well as everyone else, are welcomed here anytime. Have a good time with your guests and we'll catch you at the next one
  22. Squidley
    I nominate you to be our test rider with them Kyle Seriously though, if they mount right up to a RK then with the mods you have on the bike it will slip right on yours. Give it a shot and tell us what you think, a sound bite would be cool too
  23. Squidley
    Bring em....we have lots of room here and if they take a week, well we'll handle that too You'll be surprised at how much we can do in a day or two

    Just a bump and update... If anyone needs to do tires I have the tire machine from Kregs here as well as the balancer. So if you need to change out tires you can send them to my place and we can get them changed out. Folks have been asking me what they can bring. If anyone wants to bring something, perhaps a specialty dish you make, that would be great. I will have some dead stuff for the grill and I'm tossing around the idea of deep frying a turkey as i dont think my smoker will be modified in time. Looking forward to seeing everyone and ripping things apart

    Sorry we couldn't be there with y'all, no matter the turn out, it's always a great thing that is done by donating and being there. Thanks to all of you that do what you do to represent us when you go...especially you, Lewis and Charlene
