I have a set of stock unmodified mufflers from my 07 RSV. Let me know if your interested.

Unfortunatly that is a Teusday and I and my wife both work during the week so I will have to pass.

JohnT......now it makes sense. Larry, thanks for the input.

Don't have a clue who your referring to. I must have missed something. I do not work for a Harley dealer.

Not set on Harley. Just thinking of adding to the stable. I would hate to buy another Venture and send it to hannigan and not like it as much as the Harley.

Jay, I thought the Hannigan was wider. Been keeping an eye out for one. There was one on here for sale but the price was outrageous. He was in my opinion about 10k too much. I gotta try one out. But the Tri Glide......was sure nice.

Well my wife and I are on vacation. We were in Rapid City doing the Mt Rushmore thing and being we caged it, I was itchin to ride so we went to the Harley dealer and rented a 2015 Tri Glide trike for the day. All I can say is that I did not want to give it back. I did email them and got a price on one. If the price was right, I would have swung by on the return trip home and picked it up. We were about $3000 off of making a deal. I would like to ride a Venture with a Hannigan first to compare the two, so no big deal. But I took it on Needles highway and 16a. VERY nice handling. Great low end torque. Gotta try a Venture/Hannigan first, but I put 10 hours of seat time on the rental.....really liked it.

I was kidding. I do believe that the import bike speedo's only need to be within 10% of actual speed. Not sure where I read that, but I know I did. As far a cruise..... are you talking cruise control? I have no issues with mine because of incorrect speedo reading. Most of the time I go by the speed reading on the gps if it is on the bike. That is dead accurate.

Speedometer???? Who needs one of those??? Twist that throttle and go man go!!

I ordered the direct OEM replacement from Dennis Kirk. And I ordered one from Caltric off of ebay for a whopping $23. That one listed on their website for between 40-55 bucks. Got the ebay special. When that comes in, I am going to make sure it works and then stick it in the saddle bag as an onroad back up. I will install the OEM as a full time replacement. I do not like the idea of replumbing something. I do not feel that added work is necessary, there are other options available. The original lasted 48,000 miles. The OEM is manufactured by the same company that built them for Yammie. Keep a cheap spare or even a the original that is rebuilt in the bags and if the replacement goes out, it is literally a 15 minute fix. No messing around with fittings and homemade brackets. Take the stock bracket off, put it on the new pump, hook up the lines, mount to the original holes, plug it in and go. Thank you to all that replied. Condor, I maybe ordering the points rebuild kit. Thank you also.

John, I have 48,000 miles on the pump. Stealer in Brighton wants a whopping $333. Dennis Kirk has the direct Mitsubishi manufactured pumps for $198. I will probably order one from there and pick up one from Caltric also as a spare for less than $50 and put that in the saddle bag for "just in case".

Bert, thanx I will check this out. Joe, thank you too. I may buy a new one and either buy the kit to replace the points and throw the repaired pump in the saddle bag as a "just in case" while on the road.

I took the pump apart. I have no idea where or how you guys are getting or replacing the points. Calling the stealer today to get a price on an OEM. Going to go from there.

So, I am 99.9999999999% sure my fuel pump has left the building. So, who has had to replace the stock fuel pump on their second gen and did you go with a stock part from Yammy or did you go aftermarket. For the aftermarket, which one did you use and have you had any issues with it? I read the write up on the Mr.Gasket pump, not sure what I am going to do at this point. I am going to go out this afternoon and pull the old one out. Maybe put a .40 cal round into it to see if that makes me feel better!

Boy..................................................................you ain't right in the head.

It is only illegal to carry there if you get caught.......

I grew up in the area. May want to "carry" if your licensed.

Sorry, gotta work bro.

I trust nobody anymore. Especially on the road. You want me to see your bike? Bring it over here, otherwise, no thanks.

That is why I carry a .40 cal.

Very smart move. I was not a good ride home Saturday. I imagine Sunday was no better. Be safe.

Darn it I hate to here this. Glad you are ok Tooch. The bike and or parts........can be replaced. I was afraid I was going to here about somebody getting hurt in this weather. Just had a feeling. I know I felt my bike slide on the entrance ramp from I-275 to I-94. Take care....fix that bike and I will see you next year at Maintainence Day.

Your going to pay more than 30 bucks for a rear brake rotor. New at the dealer is $250-$300. EBC on Ebay new will be about $150. BUT....if you find on for $30..........buy it, but don't be surprised when you hit your brakes if it pulses from being warped.

Carl, glad you mad it home safe. It concerns me everyone riding in that weather. All of the Michigan group made it home, but man oh man were we wet.
