We left the house this morning to go for a ride, we stopped a the diner at the 4 way stop in Pumpkintown, SC. for some breakfast. While at the table a gentleman walks up asking who owned the Venture parked out front, I fessed up to owning it. He says "I used to own one, it was the most comfortable bike I ever owned. He then to my surprise asks who did your diamond cut fins, Mike? Yes I said, he then asks about Skid, I looked at him and asked how he knew all these names to which he replied I used to belong to a group called VentureRider! I said I still am. So he says hello from Blue Mountain Jim, to all . Eh! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Our condolences to his family and friends. I pray he found the peace he sought. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Where in NC are You? I have one and am 45 minutes south of Hendersonville in SC. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Grab a room in Waynesville, NC. from there head south on NC 215, run it down to the BRP, make a right onto the parkway and run it back into Waynesville. Many nice forest, river and mountain vistas to stop and see. Spend another day or week doing a waterfall tour. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

The weights do help to dampen hand numbing handlebar vibrations. You can also insert a handlebar snake, they are usually made with lead shot in a fabric sleeve to further dampen vibration. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

If I bring a tent, is it possible that I could pitch it on someone's site Wednesday night at the KOA? I'd only be the 1 night as I am heading to Gatlinburg on Friday. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

How early do the rides usually depart? Wouldn't be much fun in showing up late ! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Where and when are the morning meetings to decide on the days ride? I live about 45 minutes or so from Ashville and would like to come up and join a day ride or two. Which KOA? East or west. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Either a Sig P238, P938 or a Ruger SR40C . All depends on how I'm dressed and where I'm going . Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Nice bike there Don! Guess you didn't learn your lesson with the last off brand bike you bought! [emoji102] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Let me restate that. It is the inner race on the hub side, it necks down slightly on the end that goes into the bearing. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

It's the outer spacer on the hub side. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Is this what you are looking for? Had this on my spare wheel. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Check with Mike Eykamp or Ed Williams. Chances are one of them will have that part. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Not sure I'd trust that welding job! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'm installing a new rear valve cover gasket, have the old gasket out and the sealing surfaces cleaned up. Last time I did this I used RTV silicone to seal the halfmoon area on each end of the head and after several years it was leaking again. Idon't have any RTV on Hand, but I do have a tube of Yamabond 4 semi drying liquid gasket, will the yamabond 4 work with the new rubber gasket?

Thanks, I was able to patch it up again with some epoxy putty. Maybe Ill get by for a while.

It's pulled loose from the mounting plate and pieces of the plastic housing that secure the screw ferrels are gone. I think it was caused by brake fluid that splashed on it while bleeding the clutch several years ago. I'm trying to repair it again, but eventually I'm going to need a new housing or a complete remote. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I am looking for a non functional radio remote control to use for parts, if you have one , let's talk. Thanks. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I didn't have one out when I posed the question. The answer is 8x1.25x25mm

Time to repair my ignition switch, , what size bolts do I need when I reinstall the switch?

@cowpuc I thought you would have stopped at the first rest area and started swapping parts! We all know you don't like shiny things. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
