Hey, how many motorcycles do YOU know of that have a personalized travelling case?!!?
-
Thank you ALL for your prayers and kind words!!! I';m sure everything will be all right and I'll be back to normal (Whaterer THAT is!) in no time!
Sure will be nice to be able to pee like a teenager again...
-
Praise God he is OK, Monty!!! Sorry to hear about this and his other issues in life. Sometimes life downright sucks!! Wish I could help out somehow, but at least I can pray for him and encourage him to spend a little one on one time in prayer with Jesus...
Hope everything turns out in the long run!

Yup, nothing but speculation and dreams right now. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a new model Venture yet.
Truth is, go out and find a bike you wil be happy with for many years because unless you are independantly wealthy you are going to be paying for it a long time!! Myself I'm paying the next 4 years. Hopefully I will be able to ride it again soon. Now, let the customizing begin...

Sea Foam is a magic elixer that does wonders on cleaning out carbs, fuel systems, etc!! It is available at Auto Zone, Wally World, etc. It is like an industrial strength carb cleaner. There should be a website for them, try doing a gogle on Sea Foam products...

Nothing serious, just the old enlarged prostrate problem. This is a very common problem among us "well experienced" gentlemen. They are going to do the old Star Wars light sabre thing on me, although they insist it's called green laser surgery! I will be back home Tuesday if all goes well. Then I get to enjoy the rest of the month off with pay. Now, if I just had a scoot that I could ride...

OK a starter motor DOES put a heck of a load on the battery but I'm not sure it puts that much. Does it crank over at regular speed or does it seem slow?? Sounds to me like it may be new battery time...
Of course you could have a dirty ground on the battery cable, or a bad solenoid, or corroded + contact somewhere. One big culprit is those yucky fuse connectors. Read directly across the battery and get back to us!

We are going to try to make it for at least a day bor two, depending when Sexi Two Timer (The new scoot's temporary official name) is bgack in our possession...

The Boost Sensor is in Fact a Vacuum Sensor. It senses the Vacuum on the #2 Cylinder just like the Thing on the Vmax. The Sensor emits a Voltage which is used from the TCI/CDI to advance the Spark.
Yah!! It is a fancy name for a regular MAP sensor, or Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor to set the spark advance wqhere it is needed to be. It gives a control voltage proportional to the amount of vacuum to let the TCI know how much or little to advance the spark...
-
We are assuming that the jacks for the headsets already exist on the bike, right?? If not, they both plug into the main amplifier the same place the tuner and the CB plug into...
-
Does the red line drop at any of the other points as well, or just at the TCI??
-
I agree with Squidley!! GREAT guy and even though we did spend a little time together wish we had more!
-
Wife would disown me if I bought your trailer, even if it matches Goldie!! Besides, we already have a matching trailer...
-
OK larger trunk and non removable saddlebags = 1st gen MK2 which is '86 - '92. Now, nut on front axle as opposed to front axle screwing into the fork bottom = '86 and '87 as opposed to '88 up.
Ya done good!!!!!

We can send Big Tom and SpankyM over, they are experts now with a rotary cutter, chisel and hammer...
-
Well, the guys in our machine repair shop clamped the bearing in the vice and pounded on the triple tree shaft. Your best bet is to replace the bearings and races for the small cost of the bearings. The bike will steer a lot smoother...
-
Just your eye out at all times for them critters on the highway...
Not saying for sure, but maybe your bell you gave me is the reason I can still type!

I had 2...

That will stil be there. The "Supporting Member" is an add on to what's already there.

First off, it seems very strange to be into the 2nd gen tech section!!
Any way, I am loking for a good deal on a light bar. Where should I look?? What kind of lights option do I have?? Where should I tie the power from??
Questions, questions...

Schleppo, yes, the MK2 boards can be made to fit. You have to make a set of hangers for your exhaust, and use some of the hardware from the peg mounts, and buy 2 longer bolts, but it does work...

What really makes a difference is if you use the intercom. If not, then just find a nice aftermarket stereo, PREFERRABLY a waterproof Marine one, and fabricate a mounting plate. After you get rid of the stock radio there is plenty of room. You will also loose your CB though doing it that way unless you have an AUX conector, and then you can only listen to the CB or a CD, or the radio...
Yes it has been done many times.

The MK2 rear calipers are 4 piston just like the front, not 2 piston. You have to swap out the caliper mounting arm and do a little bit of McGuiver'ing or get the swivel from a MK2 swing arm for attaching the mount arm to the swing arm...

Have to give you a maybe for Thursday or any day arrival, Skid. We want to come but there are sooo many variables such as when we get the bike back, how I'm feeling, weather, finances etc...
