I am also looking for a set of chrome or billet deflectors just don't like the clear stock ones. Rich

My 01 would chirp so bad it just about would make your ears bleed after a long day of riding. I put in an I basket and did the clutch upgrade from SkyDoc and now I have just about 3000 miles on it and it chirps under acceleration and when running a steady speed it is still very quite. It was worth every penny and the time it took me to install it. I am using Rotella T6 oil also. Rich

I hear ya on that we left for vacation and got 220 miles and the bike would not start after stopping checked everything I could and still no luck. Of coarse I left my meter at home thinking why do I need this. So after a cab ride to the parts store and a new battery and then a small trip to a dealer to make sure the stator is charging we continued on with vacation. The battery in the bike was at least 5 years old so I did pretty good I think. Richie R

I have the alpine amp in my 01 with pioneer speakers in the front and have alpine speakers in the rear and music is much clearer or cleaner and the bass is better not great but better. On the freeway I only need to turn it up to 13-15 my gain might be a little high but I have not split the fairing again to tweak it. It was worth the money to me for the amp and speakers. Richie R

I see that clarion makes a new 50 watt per channel amp it is small in size than the alpine. Just thought I would share this. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-e0rV0kYLkaA/p_020XC1410/Clarion-XC1410.html?omnews=11430245

I didn't see where you can use it as starting fluid on small engines. Richie R

So sorry to hear you and your family will be in our prayers. Richie R

That looks cool, looks like something I may have to add to my baby. Richie R

Yes it is you are the man, how did you dig it up? Thanks Richie R

When I changed out my clutch basket I put sky docs upgrade and it is just like you say, second gear is fun to play in around town it just sets you back and takes off.

I hate to ask this but I just can't find the thread about the 4" round chrome air filters for the 2nd gen venture. I tried but no luck so I must not be doing something right. Thanks Richie R

To get to my feeder!!

This where she was going to I was standing on my deck when I took these. [http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa254/richier73/IMG_0010-1_zps1e2bc083.jpg[/url] Richie R

Did it look like this? This was taken in my backyard. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa254/richier73/IMG_0005-1_zps960e82cc.jpg[/url] Richie R

I am just green with envy nice bike, someday if I can talk the boss into one. Now I just made it harder to do installed an alpine amp and new alpine speakers in the back and the clutch basket. Man what was I thinking.

Congrats on the new ride, I will break it in for you and return it at the end of summer. lol Richie R

No not a CCT in blue or red. lol Just have to tell her that orange color hurts your eyes while driving it and could cause a crash. Just have to catch her in a weak moment. Richie R

Ok guys I have the show chrome 13" windshield on my bike and I look thru it all the time I am 5'10". So I am thinking of the 8.5 to 13.5 or the fixed 11" but since we NEVER ride in the rain leaning toward the 8.5 to 13.5. Just looking for some feed back on these windshields. Thanks Richie R My show chrome is old and has stress cracks along the bottom of it.

The stock basket was very loud and the chirp was high pitched and drove both of us crazy after a 300 mile day. There was very little range to where it was quite and of coarse it was not at any decent speed, so hopefully this one will be better or a different bike maybe in the future. So this may explain why back in 03 the bike only had 675 miles on it and 15,000 miles on it when I got it in the spring of 011. Richie R

Well I put it all back together and took it for a spin and the chirp that the bike used to make was in every gear until the rpms were up like 63 on the speedo in 4 gear and a little over 50 in 3 gear. You get the idea now the sound is a much lower pitch and goes away at a lower rpm. Now I can drive in town in 2 gear and it's really quite and 3 gear the speed is now a little under 40 and 4 gear it is a little over 50. The clutch basket I took out an H basket would that be normal for an 01? I also did skydoc's upgrade but the clutch doesn't grab till almost the end of the travel of the clutch lever is that normal? It was much easier than I thought and the plates were in spec also. So hopefully it will stay this quite that would be great. Richie R

I finally decided to install my new I basket and when I put the splined washer on it goes on pass the splines and just sits on the shaft. But everything else goes on and fits just fine, is it suppose to do that? Any help on this would be great. Thanks Richie R

Awesome video you have every right to be very proud of your son. It must have been an amazing ride. Richie R

I can't believe you left out ICE CREAM!!! I almost went into shock. :ICrolleyes:

Where did you get the amp from? We have a shop here in town but they don't carry Rockford products and wouldn't even order it, wanted to sell me the line they carry and the amp was pretty big would have to go in the rear trunk. So looks like online buying here I come. Richie R

Thinking of going with this one, just have to find a good deal on it. RPBR300X4 300 Watt BRT Full-Range 4-Channel Amplifier by Rockford Fosgate
