  1. It has been a great ride over the last 46 years,but I think it is time to hang the helmet up.It was sad to see my trike leave. I am planning on staying a member. I don't post much ,but I read your posts every day.I think I will get two seat ragtop and still ride the back roads.
  2. Hate to do this but just posted my Venture trike for sale in the classifieds.Health reasons and for some reason there has been a rash of Cagers running over us riders.The one last was a close friend"s brother.A man driving a car driffed into the other lane and hit the Goldwing. Needless to say his left boot and leg was still on the bike.He lived just a few hours after the wreck and another one last week was one a man had sold his bike.Was going to take one last ride and someone ran stop sign,he was DOA at the sight.I would for some one in the club to get this bike it is in excellent condition.
  3. I know this has been decussed before,but I need to know if I install 1 1/2 risers what do I do about the rubber bushing between the bars and fairing? Is there a replacement for this bushing?
  4. Welcome Roger .I was in the shape You are in Last Sept. These great guys on here told how to fix mine in a parking lot in Branson.Took about and hr to fix.The $12 dollars was the best thing I ever spent.
  5. Does anyone have a picture of a stock muffler that has been cut open.I am confused about where to cut them. I have a set someone gave me,I don't want to mess my quite pipes up.
  6. I had both done at the same time (12-06) The pain is bad.Do what they tell you and do PT. By April I was back to cutting 32 Yards a week.I would do it again cause the end results is so much better than it was.I also was riding by May 1.Good luck

  11. My RSV trike went out in Branson,Mi.Several of the club members talked me how to fix it in a parking.Nothing to the repair.To order a clutch kit call PCW Racing {518-346-7203} and talk to Johnhe . Good luck.

  16. Wecome to the site.Come ride hills and valleys of KY.
  17. I had both replaced at the same time in 06.Did the pt 3 time a week for 28 weeks,which is a must or it won't be right again,and after that went back to cutting 32 yards a wk.The longer you wait ,like I did,the more the bone will wearaway.Don't get me wrong it is a painful recovery ,but the end result is worth it ,no more pain.At the time my rsv was on 2 wheels and that summer rode form Ky to Ontario
  18. Is there anyone around Louisville,Ky who knows how to syn carbs,and has a carbs syn kit?

  20. Finally got home after some crazy days of burnedout clutch.the bike ran great thu the backroads of Ky,Ill,and Mo. Got to Branson,got in traffic on the hills clutch started slipping. On the 3rd hill had to pull over it quite moving.Called AAA to haul the bike to the timeshare 3 miles away ,they said NO because I didn't have RV coverage.Had to leave it in a parking lot.Called the Yamaha dealer in Harrison Ark.they said it would cost between $450 to $500 to fix and $150-$180 to get a rollback to haul it 38miles to the dealer.So I knew where to go,VENTURERider forum.The responce was overwheming.First Etcswtoe called with names of members close to Branson ,second Dik01 ,who live about 50 miles away, calle d and offered to get a trailer to take it to the dealer,third Randy R called told me of condor post of bleeding the clutch and then called Goose to call me, and then Goose called me .He talked me out of taking it to the dealer.He walked me step by step how to Repair the clutch and also the phone number of where to get the new clutch.Followed PCW"s and GOOse"s instructions ,had the bike's clutch in 1 1/2 hrs. ANyone can put a clutch in it is simple fix.My Brother-in-law was so supprised my the calls that he has applied for membership.Anyone who doesn't join a club like this one has to be nuts.
