You want to adjust to the high end of the spec, however you may not have a choice depending on available shims.

Ask your doc if a nasal pillow type mask may work better for you. I had the nasal mask and it kept rubbing the top of my nose. Took me about two weeks to get use to the machine I tried one of those cut out pillows and wound up tossing it.

Mine makes the same noise and I have yet to find the culprit, however I belive it is the trunk itself since I do not have the reinforcement plate under mine you may want to check to see if yours does. This link describes the upgrade. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-38648.html

We are leaviing Charleston on the 6th stopping over at my brothers in Rural Retreat Va for the night so if anyone wants to meet up on Friday the 7th in Wytheville Va at Shonneys exit 73 at 0600 for breakfast and head out around 0700 that should put us at Freebirds around 1500 conservativly. That would be enough time to set up camp before going to Quaker Steak and lube.

We are leaving Charleston SC on Thursday and riding up to Rural Retreat Va then on to MD on Friday but I think you may be a little too far north on Friday for us to join up with you.

My dealer is great for parts they price match and give me 10% military discount.

They have been a couple of whole wheels in the classified sections for less than what the "stealer" wanted.

I rode with mine for the first time Firday and it did well I was surprised how much wind it knocked off in the short position. The extra thickness should not effect your bags.

The first pic is the seat, the second one is a tank bag I had strapped to the back with all my camera stuff in it.

I removed mine on one of my 99's and it is simple and you can even relocate the CB to one of your saddle bags. You will have to hide the wires and either cut the brackets that hold the wriing on to the rear fender or get a tourdelux rear fender like I did. If you are not going to use the CB would you consider selling it? Someone on here did theirs and really made it look sharp cut down windshield fender rack custom seat the works. Mine is a work in progress I keep changing thinks on it. 1. remove the trunk 4 screws I belive 2. remove antennas 3. remove CB 4. remove grab handles 5. remove trunk rack 6. remove passenger seat 7. replace or mod fender 8. Put everything on a shelf incase you everywant to go back. 9. Make antenna bracket if so desired

Thanks if I can get up that way on the 18th I will take you up on it.

Glad you had fun, looking forward to getting up to the mountains now that the ice and snow is gone..

Glad you are doing better and praying things continue on the right track.

Rotella T6 Full Synthetic is what I use too.

I want to do a Iron Butt, however I don't think I have ever rode more that 700 miles at one shot.

Thanks, I sat on one at the dealer but they were not offering test rides on them yet. I really would like to take one for a few hours just have to wait for the Demo truck to come around.

Cool:cool10:

I saw one last week on the way back but I was in a group and did not want to stop the whole group. I had planned on going after it today but the Wx called for rain and I believed:bang head: it

So now that you have had it for a little bit what do you think?

Guess I could come up at least one day.

You going to be pulling your trailer.

Don't do too many burnouts on the Venture

I had this issue after I adjusted my floats and it turned out I had messed one up.

If you stay out of Myrtle Beach itself it is not bad, Myrtle beach proper is not bike friendly especially during bike week. I am not much on the traffic either it will take you a good hour to go from one end to the other and since I live just down the road may be another reason. If several folks are coming down I may go up for a meet and greet Murrell's Inlet had some good things going last year and North Myrtle is not too bad.
