So ya did Jay, so ya did!! New refrigerator is being delivered next Thursday. The mother board fixed the fan but the refrigerator is still not working, freezer is. Time to shoot the horse and ride another one! What's more important is finishing the bathroom so we can get it settled again before the 4th!

Also don't forget to lube the seal prior to installing, it is actually how seals seal! The rubber has microscopic pores that need to be filled with whatever it is sealing. You can use motor oil, assembly lube, or non synthetic grease...

Yes, #2 cylinder gives timing pulses to the tach!

Yup! Replace your fuel filter!! Also there is a good chance you still have water in the tank. How did you drain the tank?? EDIT: Your fuel filter is located near your R/R. It is best to remove your rear tire to get to it. Also if you can remove the gas line at the fuel pump and before you install the new filter but with the old one off blow compressed air through the line to eliminate any trapped moisture and crud, or replace the line with a new one!

Yet another overpants fan...

I am a huge Joe Rocket fan as well but what you have to do is try several different brands on, you will know when you have the right jacket for you...

There have been a few former Venture owners that have bought CCT's already so you are not alone...

Now there's a thought!!

In your case the seal is 14 years old, so it should be replaced even if it wasn't leaking as preventative maintenance...

Hey, he didn't drop it, did he?!!?

Yes, if you remove the rubber boot around the front u joint you can have someone watch to see if the driveshaft goes around when in gear. If it moves and the rear wheel does not, then it's a rear end problem. If it does not move then the problem is in the output of the transmission...

The differential could also be at fault...

Head west a bit and pick up the 219 through PA, it's a nice ride!

That's where Cowpuc is a wise man!! No room for trinkets so no money spent on them...

Strong gas smell can be a couple of things but the obvious is that you have a stuck float or a needle valve that is not fully closing which would account for the low MPG, when riding you are pouring gas on the ground! there are 4 overflow hoses coming from each carburetor. While running look or smell each tube for gas. A Seafoam soak followed by a ride it like you stole it ride on a tank of gas should help!!

OK who else??

OK as promised this is who was setting across from Charlie! Bonus points for naming other people in picture...

Yes Jay we got home about 4:00 safe and sound. The fan now works for the compressor but the refrigerator still does not refrigerate...

Here's a set... http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE-TOUR-DELUXE-TINTED-LOWER-WIND-VENTS-DEFLECTORS-/231235488884?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35d6b58c74&vxp=mtr

Oh Oh!!! Loctite near plastic spells disaster...

Yes, try ebay listings. I still see them come up...

Good answer Jeff, and yes on the Gold that combination does look good!! Just may happen on Goldie when I finally put 'er back together!

Yes indeed I have and will pray for him sir! I pray to the heavenly Father that if it is His will that He touch and heal. I pray for God almighty be with his friends and family to be a comfort to them in this time, and finally that God's will be done. I pray in the name of Jesus!

I wish I could personally thank each and every one of you for your kind thoughts and prayers but instead I will publicly do it! Thank you all!!!!!

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away... It would be too expensive for all of us to move to OZ so you are the one who has to relocate...
