Get together at Big Tom's...
-
Is all you people think about is food??? Oh, that's right, we ARE an eating club with a riding disorder...
-

Hey Lonna, there's another virgin for you...
-
Ummm, sorta, but with splines on the clamp and a splined peg on the other end, and something that is going to work laterally and not vertically, and a little shorter like 3" to 4" long max. You would then unbolt the riusers from the triple tree and install these horizontal extenders and rebolt the risers to the extensions... If and when I get them done this winter I'll post pictures, probably in the 1st gen tech sectrion.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
bongobobny replied to Yama Mama's topic in Watering Hole
I'm thankful for yet another day that God has given us all to make the most of! Yes, I am thankful for our Venturerider family that is so caring and giving and I'm proud to be a part of. Of course I'm thankful for God's precious gift of Jesus Christ for all of us. I'm thankful for my wonderful wife and soul mate and the fact that she enjoys riding and look forward to many more years of touring. I'm thankful and greatful for my wonderful job. The list goes on and on... HAPPY THANKSGIVING, VENTURERIDERS!!! -
I came up with this idea for bringing the handlebars further back on 1st Gens that I'm going to have the machine shop at work try to make for me. What it would be is a pair of adaptors that would have the clamps like on the bottom of the risers on one end and the posts like on the triple tree on the other end. That way you would have a third range of adjustment that would bring the handlebars closer to you, farther apart, or closer together. A simple bar with slots could be used to reattach the plastic cover back in place after the adapters are mounted and adjusted... I say go for it, Bill, if you enjoy the work!!

Classic!!! Congratulations! I'm still laughing! Thanks, I needed that!
-
I'm impressed! I've dealt with South Seattle in the past with no complaints whatsoever. I trust their honesty and actually think they are being upfront and straightforward with their information and intents. Most dealers would take the attitude of "Oh, well, T.S." towards the pricing and would not take the time to inform their valued customers of the situation...

It was a big whopping 12 degrees when I left for work this morning. Praise God for remote starters and heated seats!!!!!
-
Is this anything like Dragonrider's "Gift?"
-
They gavde me a confirmation number on the message, but I'll call to confirm anyways...
-
We've got over a foot of snow already with another foot on the way... I HATE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
TRhere was a message on my answering machine that everything was taken care of, and that we are booked for the following Friday and Saturday, Jun 5th & 6th...

We got over a foot of wet yucky snow last night. Had to snow blow this afternoon and found out the hard way I forgot to put away the garden hose last weekend...
-
Yeah, they still haven't completely fixed things since the last one...

PM sent...

Seat swap situation
bongobobny replied to igya's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
2 bolts. Done deal! -
It's been done by a few members, and here's the deal. It's pretty much direct bolt on, but you have to switch rotors as they are a different kind. You need to install the newer brake calipers as well as your old ones won't fit, but that's pretty much the main reason to upgrade, for the beter brakes. If possible, switch master cylanders in both the front and rear as the bigger calipers use a little more volume of brake fluid, but your Mk1 masters wil work, but not 100% efficient. I would strongly suggest rebuilding the shocks first, and if you can afford it, install progresswive springs. You may as well go all the way and upgrade the rear brake as well. You have to change the caliper holder, but it is poretty much bolt on. As far as the electric anti dive, it is triggered thru a relay by the brake light signal. I'm finally getting around to doing mine this winter...
-
Yup, confirmed! Confirmed WHAT I'm not sure, but confirmed...
-
You will also notice an improvement in hot starting with the Odessy! Glad things are going good again, now get out there and ride instead of reading this post!!!
-
If so, I am in need of the "Low Fluid" magnetic reed switch assembly. I'm rebuilding a couple of them, and on one the O ring for the switch was "glued" on and I sort of destroyed the switch. The float is fine. If you have one, I can make use of it...

Jonas, Big Tom lives in the western part of New York state, near Buffalo/Niagara Falls. I live south of him. We will be meeting up with you on Friday if that's the route you are taking. We wil most likely meet up with several Canadians as well. We wil hit Oberlin late Friday afternoon. Should take about 6 hours to get there. Looking forward to meeting you!
