Thanks guys and I wish my wife could see that it would be better to fix my 87 Venture Royale than sink all this money into a bike I just like and not into the bike I REALLY LOVE I also loved the shaft drive! Still looking for parts to fix it.

Broke a second drive-belt on my Road star in a year &3months- a week ago Just got it back Fri. but now it needs new pulleys as they are worn and that is why the belt broke(mechanic).Got 30,000 or so on belt that broke spring of 09 and 20,000 or so on this one. Other shop says not to ride with the new belt and old pulleys and mechanic that changed it said I could?????????? Phantom wife says fix it (so no replacement bike to fix old 87\\for now)Have to wait till Tues. to see how long to get back pulley(on back order)Back pulley is $432can and front is $122 plus 3 1/2 hrs labor

Steering Head Bearing Nut Wrench (Fork Wrench) Shipping
sleepy2 replied to dingy's topic in Watering Hole
Hey dingy just notised this post as am on midnights and wasn't able to check as much as I would like. Are there any of these tools left? Could us if I ever find fairing parts to rebuild my 87,but might be close enough to the tool needed to adjust head bearing on my 2000 Roadstar(different tool number but you never know) If there are any available please let me know and I will Pay Pal you.Also hoping to see my tack's in mail this week! Thanks in advance! -
I have a 2000 Roadstar Silverado 1600 and love it(still miss riding my 87 Venture) It is an easy bike to work on and like was mentioned it is a low revving bike and does hit rev limiter too soon when having fun rides. All in all good bike --good luck!!!enjoy the ride!!

Wiarton Willie which is Ontario Canada's groundhog DID see his shadow so 6 more weeks of winter
-
Just checking in to see if you got my address and information I sent ?
-
Im fine with buying from you since you are one of the group and $.25 shouldn't be enough to make anyone change orders
-
I agree they are GREAT horns as mine also saved my but a few times also. \unfortunately I went to use it one day last year and it sounded like a dying cow so I had to hook up old horns and you can hardly hear them over my exhaust while idling(have Vance@Hines on Roadstar) so am saving up to get another for my bike before it goes on the road again.
-
Can I still get in on the buy? If yes I would like 2@$40.50 priority U.S.P.S. (this is U.S. dollars right?) Please send info for proper way to pay

ok! new bike checklist!

Also maybe replace stock fork brace with the much thicker aftermarket one. Seems to help with high-speed wobble some bikes get. -

Went out for an afternoon ride to-day.Only -6 by radio. Was out for about5 hours went for coffee with friend then went home to do things around the house for tomorrow then went out for supper. It was great getting out and wasn't actually not that cold on the bike. It seemed colder when off bike.Wife still thinks I was nuts.

Loose out again! Seems every time there is a deal I am too far away to take advantage of it. Oh well maybe next time something will come up again. -
Am working midnights now so rode to work Mon at 10:30pm and came out at 7am Tues. morning to icy roads and snow on the running boards. Roads were too bad to drive home and as you would know it my BACK-UP RIDES I had lined up to give me a ride home so I could get my truck and trailer to pick bike up later had GONE HOME with-out even asking if I still needed a ride!!! So made it a couple blocks to Tim Hortons for a coffee(Harley rider who put his away a month ago followed me there) and called a cab to go home.

Out for a ride this morning after getting off midnight work and decided to ride to Marcarl's to check-out new digs. VVVEEERRRYYY NICE (pretty organized with plenty of shelves and benches,office space and heated.) and sorry Marca the house is too(Carl is in the midst of fixing it up)(off to a good start).Shared a coffee and cookie and then drove to dealer down the road to see what they had on the showroom floor and seen the 2009S model for $21999 + tax. Was ready to leave then spotted 2010 sitting at the end of the line for$22999+. It was black with flames and also the S trim. Took some pics with phone came[ATTACH]38738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38739[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38741[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38742[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]38744[/ATTACH]ra so they arn't great pics.

Sorry couldn't make the ride as Unio meeting lasted past 12:00pm so only ridding I got in was from home to London and back. Great weather to ride anyways. Going to pick up boys new (to him 06Pontiac G6) car tomorrow. Hopefully will get out for a ride before I have to go to Midnights in October. Contract concessions were voted on and passed by 64%.
