Another fan of E-3's here, they wear like iron!
To properly rebuild your carbs it will cost a fair amount. There is an excellent DVD that sometimes appears on Fleabay concerning rebuilding your carbs the right way. They are actually about VMax carbs but Venture carbs are the same basically. Unfortunately there is no kit you can buy...
Saddlebum, you made me think of thong man. I'll get you for that!
Timgray, those HD accessories may be made cheap, but they sure aren't priced cheap...
Well that kinda sux Paul, I hope you can find the funding for the proper therapy somehow. Glad that you are able to put full weight on the leg though!!
Miles, it will be a pleasure and an honor to finally meet you in person! I am caging it to Don's this year as therre is some pinstriping that needs to be fixed and some additional to be added...
Had it on the 1st gen, made a metal "L" bracket and glued it to the top of my windshield. Ran the antenna cable up the side of the shield and covered the edge of the shield with chrome door guard. Worked much better than when I had it on the luggage rack. On 2nd gen I had an aftermarket cone shaped antenna mounted on a homemade aluminum mast fastened to the handlebar. It worked really good until I bought the new Zumo with the Satellite radio package. The antenna is presently on the luggage rack until I can McGuiver something and get it up higher.
We love the satellite radio!
