Globewalker

i know its an old question but... 2005-09_RSTD_Service_Manual-RY-L0-12-60.pdf RSTD_own_manual.pdf RSTDRSV_Supplemental Manual.pdf

I have a Larry Lift adaptor for a RSTD (not Venture) available if anyone needs it. I no longer have the bike. Im in Houston TX area.

There is this old (good) thread also where some custom adjustments were needed http://www.venturerider.org/forum/body-plastic-paint-and-seats/6365-improving-lines-saddlebag-guard-rails.html?highlight=Improving+Lines and more discussion here http://www.venturerider.org/forum/second-generation-venture-tech-talk/44588-saddlebag-rail-adjustment.html?highlight=Improving+Lines I had bought aftermarket ones off ebay years ago and had to do same to get the rails to look level and match the lines of the bags

In '98 the wife and I quit our jobs and ventured on a 6 month backpacking Europe trip. Was looking for an email name to use to correspond with the families from the then popular Internet cafes. last name is Walker.. was going to be walking the globe .. so came up with Globewalker(s) (a play on the old Globetrotters except we aren't tall enough)

I haven't participated in much over the years.. but even I have witnessed and received the giving side of Brad. I'm sorry that life has thrown you a temporary curve ball, but you definitely deserve some help from your friends. I'm nearby if I can help with anything. -Keith

Was traveling in Croatia this summer and saw this toy tool set for sale. The Lost in Translation captions on it made me laugh. It must have been a Chinese import even there because everyone there speaks English..

I also replaced my brake lines with the SS extended ones rather than try to stretch the old ones http://www.cyclebrakes.com/html/custom_lines.html This is the part number I order (back in 2010) K003D463-3+3 FRONT 3 LINE KIT - GALFER **+3 INCHES ON TOP LINE ONLY**

My buddy Mark (Phoneman1981) on here posted some pics before and after in his album, I'm sure he wont mind me pointing you that direction. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/album.php?albumid=864 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?50878-Flanders-Bar-replacement-on-2005-RSTD&p=582983&posted=1#post582983post582983 And this is the good write up of instructions someone posted long ago..(except model # of the bars is incorrect for RSTD.. you have the correct part number) http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?37770-RSTD-Flanders-How-To-w-new-stock-end-weight-idea It appears by this catalog that the model quoted in the instructions 650-08373 could prob work since center measurement is wide but the pullback is less than the normal model that everyone is installing on the RSTD 650-08783 ... FWIW http://www.sideroadcycles.com/HandlebarCatalog1-28-2011.pdf -Keith

Looks like a wind turbine wing ... a lot of them pass through here

My wife snapped this while driving near Houston, TX a Mustang lover's MC Trailer it appears..

650-08783 is the correct model for RSTD Several of us had trouble getting the RSTD Flanders bars even back in 2010.. Lots of talk about discontinuing them, back ordered .. You can try this site also.. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/AmericanMotorcycles/Handlebars/Six_Bends/Flanders_Pullbacks.html oh but looks like the previous Flanders link brings you here.. they appear affiliated.. Good luck .. there is a good write up on this site on how to change them..

Congrats Mark! Keep em rollin

Very cool.. keeping the folk music alive

keep a spare laced into one of my boots.. as long as i don't lose my boots also ..I'll be ok

ouch yea that would be easy to forget since you don't use them much. I think mine has a bright colored coil lanyard that stretches and clips to the handlebars to remind me. Glad ya'll are ok.
