Condor I do believe it is the manufacturer I am getting it from as the names are the same as your e-mail's, and he says it is cheaper to ship to U.S. than to someone down the street.Also our two taxes are payed in the shipping.
-
Hey Condor that's where I Just bought one from yestureday. You guy's save more as we in Ontario Canada have to pay $16.50 for shipping/pst/gst(taxes).Mine should arrive next week. Borrowed extra one off Marcarl as he had an extra.(some mishap he had). Thought for a minnute that as usual I lost out on a bargain but seems no deal on quantity buy.

Thanks Oldandcrotchety for the information--checked on price and are now over $100. Found another one made by someone north of Bellvelle Ontario on e-bay for $69 + shipping. Made of billet aluminum, have one coming-should be here next week. Thanks Marcarl for the extra stock cover,Works fine so I can ride until I receive the after-market one. THANKS again guys

Who is using an after-market OIL filter adapter on a first-gen(86-93) I had one of the "ears" on the housing(stops housing from turning when installing and removing) fall into the drain pan when I changed oil on Sat. and was fine driving around until Tues, morning when I arrived at work and bike started to drip a little. When I came out after work and started it up it dripped a whole lot (unsafe) so I got a ride home and went back to trailer it home.Put on my repair-table and found it was leaking where the "ear" broke off. Am now looking at after-market adapters to replace it. Found one made out of billet alluminum but not sure about them---don't want to go to salvage yard as they would be as old as mine so could be as much trouble in long run. Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!

Congrats from me also--it IS a VERY nice looking bike! Hopeing to see you soon as weather is nice it has been a while.

Would love to have luck in finding second bike cheap for parts (even in that shape -which is doable) or even to tinker with on stormy days or winter months. You members with two or more are the lucky ones! Good luck from one who is enveous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they will fit. I bought a set at a shop for $75 and the instructions were for a Gold Wing and they look the same as pictured. The one's I bought are the same size as the Baker Wings I had on the bike when I bought it. Hope this helps. I will try to take pictures. -
Went to London Ontario to the motorcycle show on Sat. and they had a 2008 Venture on display at Hully Gully (cycle shop). The price on the sticker was $28,000 + tax,etc. They left off shipping for the show deal. Walked around and saw a fully decked Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classic for a outrageous price of $23,345. Seems to be a big difference price wise between U.S and Canadian.

Freebird--P-mailed you about payment for Guardian bell.

Anyone going to London Ontario bike show on Sat? Going in morning with guys from work,maybe see someone there.

I had the D404 on the front and rear of my 87 also and only got around 2000kl and went by other posts that said the Metzler tires were good, but later heard they were'nt. Have to change my front now also but am going with the Metzler just to see. I will probably try the Venom's next.
-
Don't ask me how that stuff got on below my post! Have no idea
-
Good news to hear! Hope you will have a speedy recovery and will see you again this ridding season.file:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpgfile:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpgfile:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg

Carl--did you think to check(or remember) which side of the little horizontal bar with idle wheel(white plastic) did you take throttle cable from? Does anyone else know.Want to haven't on the right side while bike is "naked".Just finished putting in speedo that ryder gave me. Drained gas and am starting to work on replacing all fuel lines.
-
Picture is of my bike in the proses of changing speedo.
-
Glad I didn't take you(Carl) and Wayne up on your offer to park my 87 in your shed so we could work on all three bikes---DON'T know WHAT would have happened and then there's the matter of CUSTODY!!!!!!!!!!!!Might have been messy .
-
I agree with ReinyRooster we do have The Best
-
What day do you think you will be pulling apart and what are you doing to her? I am off Friday and might be able to drive down if you could use a hand. Far as I know I have nothing else planed except work on mine---but that can wait. Have whole front end(body-work etc) off frame to change speedo / fuel lines / put filter back on petcock(might have to get new one $90) fell off inside gas tank. Saturday may be open also. Has Wizzard brought his bike over yet?
-
Can i get an answer on which side of the horizontal rod that has a white plastic wheel on the left side of carberators does the throttle cable run?
-
Thanks Jimod for posting this question and thanks Neil86 for the answer. I too have the panel off to change speedo and thought there might be a screw but couldn't see or feel what kind.
-
BuddyRich has the idea. Cagers would have a really hard time saying they couldn't see you coming. Would be a LONG way down if lost control tho.Would be very intimidating.Would be a problem to park in garage .Also gas milage would probably suck.
-
Glad to see you both walking around as by looks of traffic it could have been worse if it didn't end in median. Best wishes to both of you!!!! Hope you have NO problems with insurance. P.S. I must have been sleeping----when did this mishap happen(will have to pay more attention)Sorry.
-
Best wishes from me and my family. Hope you are both better and recover as soon as possible. My friend and I went for a ride yesterday it was great getting out finally but was shocked to see another rider from work who had been driving around town was involved in an accident at an intersection. He is in good condition but NOT his bike which seems to be a write-off. Only thing is his insurance will get real high as he only had a M2 licence(graduated licencing here.

Hey BluesLover I was at the Army booth but didn't see you--should have said Hi and we could have had a chat and met the other guys i was with. Thanks also to Swifty & BradT I thought the red Venture was Cancruiser's old one but as usual couldn't remember name.Owner did want enough for bike/not bad shape tho. We thought it was also pretty sparse for spectators also but that made it easier to get pictures of bikes and no line-up to get pics with models. Hopefully will get to work on bike this week as I am laid-off till 14th.Wish it wasn't such weird weather--but wouldn't be getting NOTHING done if it was nicer tho.
