  2. Yah!! I still have a boat load of 1st gen parts I want to get rid of!! The problem with Fleabay is a lot of time the stuff you buy is in worse shape than what you are trying to replace. Don't ask me how I know that... I am not impressed with the prices and quality of Pinwall and refuse to buy from them any more... Pioneer Motorsports offers Ventureriders a 15% discount on parts ands accessories. Just add michellea to your friend list to qualify.
  3. ...So, I guess using the ironing board and iron is also out of the question??
  4. Bill, all holders from both 1st and 2nd Gen's are the same so any Venture from '83 to present will work. I'll look around for one in my shed but I know there is no key so I'm not sure how you would tighten the screw...
  5. My, what a purdy blue color for '11, and they lost the tacky chrome flames...
  6. The Bongo/Becky B&B nwill be open whenever you are in town!!!
  7. Man, you sure did dtir the pot!! Makes me wonder just how many authorized Yamaha experts we have on this site after all...
  8. ...She gained a son! Saturday at 11:30 Michelle Sparceno became Mrs. Glen Malek!! It was a beautiful cerimony and the reception in the evening was at a wonderful reception hal and everyone had a fantastic time! The reception line was sort of comical with Michelle having 2 sets of parents whereas the groom only has her mother left so even though she married into the Malek family she had more of her family to receive guests. Took a ton of pictures, about 500...
  9. Always glad to pray , did and will...
  10. Just prayed. I am truly sorry for the loss of your friend. I pray for strength for the widow and children in this devistating event.
  11. Hmmm, 50 50 chance! Uhhhh, the right one???
  12. Yah!! Wimmen are sometimesa like that...
  13. I would say Fleabay would be an excellent place to start. Seats show up all the time!
  14. Happyness is also finding an ice cream bar in the freezer when you thought you ate the last one last night... Bongo, who sez wish it was pistachio ice cream...
  15. I opted to go with PCW for now and if it starts slipping go to the barnett pressure plate...
  16. Valuable info for me as well!! My clutch started slipping yesterday at higher RPM's under load so I have been researching better aftermarket setups to consider. There is an excellent article on clutch replacement in the 2nd Gen Tech Library that Freebird posted that will also help out...
  17. Receiving tax free cigarettes from the Indian reservation again??? Assault and battery on innocent bullfrogs?? Conspiricy to overtake and occupy the Perry's Ice Cream factory?? I give up, wnat did you do THIS time...
  18. Well, Brad, if you would have read the post, you would have met at Timmys at 2:00!! We were waiting for people to show up at 2 and 2 2nd gen's pulled in on que but we did not recognise them. They were totally clueless about venturerider.org...
  19. So did you see us???
  20. I dunno, sounds like SCAM to me at that price... I would want someone to physically see the bike first!
  21. Do you have the rubber accordian boot around the filler neck???
  22. Another vote for Silicone spray...
  23. In a word, NO...
  24. I guess you have to ask yourself, "How important is it anyway???" We are not talking a huge difference, but a noticable one albeit. Are you interested in being the fastest set of 2 wheels in town? If so you do not want a Venture, you want a VMax. Spend enough money and you can have a V8 or a V10 sandwiched between your legs and have it somewhat resemble a stock venture, but why?? The Venture, 1st or 2nd gen will blow the doors of any stock HD except the VRod, and be very comfortable riding as well. Neither the 1st Gen or the 2nd Gen wil take a new Wing. Invest your time and money into touring, which is what the Venture is really built for...
  25. I'd say about 3/4 wave back. The ones who don't can be on a Harley, Crotch Rocket, GW, etc. No one group is guilty...
