  1. What is the actual name of the Rotella oil that you are using? I want to make sure I buy the right type. Thanks
  2. I was able to ride with some American Legion riders from Person county here in North Carolina to this event. It was a great turn out for a great cause. We parked on the track down below the white line. We were told before hand not to ride above the white line. I noticed several bikers were riding during the event above the white line. That track has a high turn. I am sorry that something like this happened. Again thanks to all our veterans.
  3. I have been following the post with the new F4 shields. Looks like the one I might be buying.
  4. Great pictures. Thanks for posting.
  5. I need a brake light switch for the front brake master cylinder. This is for a 84 Venture Royale with cruise control. Does anyone know the part number and if it still can be purchased thru Yamaha? I think I read somewhere that you needed a four wire switch when having cruise. Thanks
  6. What size rear E3 tire do I need for the 2nd Generation? I thinking about giving this tire a shot. I have been running the commanders but can't seem to get them now. Thanks
  7. The wife and I to went this year for the first time. Great experience and it is good to know that so many are behind this cause. We saw several other Ventures and met some good people.
  8. Might want to try a hand impact screwdriver with a hardened 6mm bit.
  9. Was there during bike week of 2006. Even thou it was bike week I really enjoyed it. The area is so big and with all the other things to do, it really didn't seem crowded unless you went into Sturgis. In some ways all the other bikes made it exciting. Some friends went last year about the middle of July and had to wear coats. Any time you go you'll enjoy it.
  10. I have had a couple sets of those tires.Have been satisfied.
  11. Will be riding with a my local group called the Carolina Faith Riders this coming weekend. We usually stay in Raphine Va., but this year we will be staying in Waynesboro Va. at the Days Inn. We will head up Friday and plan on riding Skyline Drive on Saturday, maybe getting off around the Luray exit. Hope to ride route 39 Sunday toward Marlington WV. and head up thru Green Bank WV. May stop to check to the telescope out and get some pictures.Then head on up and get on Rt. 250 and then head back toward Waynesboro va. Anyone got any suggestions. I know there is some great scenery and :Venture:attractions. If anyone wants to join us during that time they are welcome.
  12. Great job with the pictures. You captured many great shots.
  13. The wife and I will be there Friday evening. Looking forward to meeting:thumbsup: each one.
  14. :sun:Great to hear about this setup. I checked with Radio Shack in my area and also checked online. The only resistor I could find there was the 330 ohm .5 watt. I went ahead and used this. Do you think it is large enough to hold up. Right now its working OK. The light bar only pulled 150mA. Thanks
  15. Great looking bike! I know you and the wife will enjoy it. Springs around the corner. Ricky
  16. I use a Garmin nuvi 650 with a ram mount for auto and bike. It works great for the price. I just don't let it get wet. It just depends on the different features you want in a GPS.
  17. Thanks for sharing some great pictures. Looks like ya'll had a great time.
  18. Great looking bike. I know you will enjoy it.
  19. I was wandering if I could get some feedback about how to eliminate background noise such as engine whine and wind noise in my headsets? It seems like the noise at times is worst than others. I have read earlier about some riders using the product made by Mic-Mutes. Is this the best thing to use or is there other things I might need to do? Thanks:mustache:
  20. I have sometimes have alot of noise such as the whine from my engine and also some wind noise coming thru my speakers on my headset. At times it does not seem bad but at other times it really starts to bother me. Even with intercom level turned way down I sometimes hear the engine noise faintly. Do ya'll think something like this mic-mute would help in these circumstances or is there something else I might be able to do. After reading these past post is everybody with the mic-mute still satisfied?
  21. It is really a great area to visit. If the dates allow I am surley intrested.
  22. In my area I probably see a Venture twice a year. It makes you fell good when you do. They are great bikes.
  23. I have installed both the armrest and backrest. Great quality and comfort.
