Dave, Where did you find the BikeVis and Podmod for $84??? The last time I looked the only place to order was from England, the stuff was priced in British pounds at way more that $84, and they wanted separate shipping for the BikeVis and Podmod which raised the price another $30 or so. I would be interested but not if I have to pay separate shipping of $30 for a one ounce part. Mel

New guy looking at possibly getting a Venture.
SevenFour replied to Humbucker's topic in Watering Hole
Welcome to the forum Humbucker. You might find the Venture History an interesting read. (Top line, third item from the left.) It is about seven pages or so of interesting information on the Ventures. There is also an earlier thread on known problems with the second gen RSV that might be helpful. Don't let anything there scare you off. Every bike has known issues, this forum is just honest enough to get a list together. Really nothing that is a deal breaker for most people. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1067 Good luck with your decision. Mel -
Very nice clip, Jack. Oshkosh is always a fun time. A "brand X" Captain friend (Wkboard) and I rode up, spent the day and then rode home to the Chicago area a couple years ago. It made a great day. I once had the opportunity to fly a UAL 727 in to put on display for the day. The Captain was a member of the USA acrobatic team that went to Russia. That was more than a few days ago. It's almost as much fun sitting around talking about airplanes as it is talking about motorcycles. Thanks for the video. Mel

Maintenance - yes, wash and wax - no way, Alan, although I do windshields occasionally. Mel

I have the maintenance manual, but it's often easier to search electronically. Thanks for the post. Mel

I'm pretty sure Alan will forgive me. If not I'll help him with his next brake and clutch fluid change. That will surely get me out of the dog house! Mel

Thanks guys for the answers. I read the book once, but didn't remember the system. I most often ride solo and like a soft ride so the preload stays on zero. The idea looked promising, but I wondered if it worked what the pressure output would be. I think I am back to looking at mini-compressors. Thanks again--to everyone except Alan (wkboard). What good is a Venture rider friend who knows nothing about Goldwings? Mel

I currently ride a 2008 GW. http://www.stopngo.com shows a hose that supposedly connects to the GW compressor for the shocks that allows airing up a flat tire. Any one know anything about this? Where is the connection located? How difficult to make? Seems to me that it would be much nicer to carry one of the hoses rather than a mini-compressor. On the web site select motorcycle, then scroll a little past half way down to see the item. There is a six foot hose and a ten foot hose. Any idea if the six foot one gives plenty of reach for both tires? Thanks for any thoughts. Mel

New Battery...now head set doesn't work?
SevenFour replied to Iowawegian's topic in GPS, Audio, Electronics
I believe it did change from Headset to Speakers when I recently changed my battery. You might want to double check the volume also after changing back to HS before putting the helmets on. Mel -
Do you have a link to where you found the best price? I have thought about the water cooled liners before, but haven't done anything about it. Mel

I have the BreakaWay on my Suzuki Boulevard. It is very nice. Smooth and a feature that I especially like that some of the less expensive ones don't have is that the front break trips the lock to the release position. Good luck on your search. Mel

Wayne, I agree with Goose, you need to set both the TV and the DirecTV settings. On my wife's kitchen Vizio the setting in under Menu, Setup, then the third item down is called Wide. It offers three choices, Normal, Wide, and Panoramic. I believe you will want Wide selected. If you have the DirecTV HDDVR the setting is Menu, Parental-Fav's&Setup, System Setup, HDTV (select it) then Video (select it). Under Screen Format select "Original Format". Go back to TV Ratio and select Widescreen 16:9. Finally on the Sat box itself there is a button labeled RES. Press it until 1080i is selected. You may not be able to select 1080i unless the box is connected to the TV with an HDMI cable I can't remember for sure. I hope this helps get you going. Mel SevenFour

There is indeed power in prayer. I am so glad it worked out. I hope this turns out to be a job that you enjoy greatly not just interim work. Mel
