    They help keep heat from coming up on you and tend to deflect it out the sides instead. They also help keep water, etc from the spark plugs. You decide...

    Two words, "Vacuum Pump." They work miracles for bleeding the brakes. You may also have a loose connection on a banjo bolt, or your proportional valve may be gummed up...

    We switched from HJC to Nolan full face modular flip up and are very happy!! They seem a lot more comfortable to me. Either helmet was just as much a pain to wear glasses with as far as putting the helmet on and then putting the glases on, but not that much of a problem. I guess it is part personal preference and part head sahape...

    Having had the exact same problem before, my vote is for the kickstand switch also.. If you ohm it out, anything highr than .XXX ohms is too much. Mine read around 6 ohms...

    You can always insert a hard rubber bung like I did and drill out the cfenter to the correct diamewter. My reasoning behind the rubber was to damper out any vibrations from the rotor, etc. Haven't had a chance to try it out as the wiring harness fried before I had a chance to I also considered a solid rubber sink stopper the right diameter...

    Yes, it makes sense, seeing that Goldie was born on November 83...

    Tell the fool that we all get around 40 MPG give or take a few depending on driving style and how well tuned, and that includes 2nd gens as well!! Don't know where that guy got his info because I know a lot of mid sized bikes, 500-750cc that get mileage in the 50s...

    There was a thread a couple years ago just like this one... '84 - Goldie because it is Gold '09 - Sexi Two Timer (Sexi) for short) because it is kinda sexy looking, and it is the second Venture I have registered and it is a 2nd Gen...

    Well, lemme see... Boprn in '47, grew up in a lily white suburb but aeround the early 60's thought something was wrong with racial hatred. Too young to be a freedom rider but learned to hate rednecks from the south.Grew my hair long in my senior year, class of '65. Legal drinking age in NY at the time was 18, so became a drunk early in life. Messed up in college and got my a$$ drafted in 67, 1 month before the draft lottery. Never bothered to check what my number would have been. Signed up for an extra year for a year of training in Radar repair thinking Vietnam might be over by the time I was done with the training. Smoked some pot and developed an atitude. After training got assigned to a Nike Herc base in NJ. Had my security clearance lifted and got sent to Viet Nam 2 months before Woodstock. Smoked a LOT of pot over there! Seemed like just one super long bad day there. Came home, stil a stoned head, got married, got divorced 3 years later and then came the 70's. More drugs, another marriage and divorce and then came the '80s. Started playing in a band, and then in 1983, after hitting rock bottom and going down for the third time, turned my life over to Jesus Christ and He turned things around for me. First went cigarettes, held down a job for more than a few months, met a wonderful Christian woman, my wife Becky, and life stil gets better and better. Bottom line, Hippies was really a lifestyle and a HUGE mistake!!! Seemed fun at the time but was a big waste. Least that's the best I remember it, I think...

    Scott, for the most part Gary (Dingy) is right about having to take the center cover off, but I did manage to do it on Goldie without removing it but I can't remember how I did it...

    For janitorial positions most companies know that the work will be done during night hours with no supervision. Besides the obvious "items disappearing" factor, they are also concerned about corporate sabatoge, etc. A person with less than stellar credit would be more prone to selling company secrets than someone with good credit and less desparate for money...
