Cool thanks

So he has been planning this for awhile now

I bet he didn't even wave when he went by us

The races and bearings look good so I guess tomorrow I will throw everything back together. My biggest concern was the side to side sway in the swing arm.

I followed the write up in the Tech Library but I would like to add make sure you remove the AIS hose, the speed sensor cable and the brake line. I had quite a bit of side to side play and the bearings were dry as a bone, don't think they have ever been greased I know I had not in the 25K I have owned it I know shame on me. I would like to get concurrence that this bearing is bad mot sure how much play it should have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2szJL5kG ... e=youtu.be What is the best way to remove the races in the awing arm? They do not look bad but I figured I would go ahead and replace them if it's not too much of a hassle. One last thing were is the best place to buy these?

He must have already bought it I just checked on Go Daddy and it has been taken but just think we can now have two Vogels.

I forgot. How many days?

So how does that new 2nd Gen of yours ride?

Finding 12" trailer tires in Charleston SC on short notice was like pulling teeth but I found a local tire shop that had HI-RUN brand and the manager said they were good tires and after 4K miles they seem to be doing a good job. Maximum Load Capacity - 480 lb. Ply - 4 Size - 4.80-12 Tread Type - Ribbed Warranty - Limited Brand - Hi-Run

Sounds like mine did when the fuel pump died but I don't know about the engine light blinking.

Cool and interesting target.

Can you send a pic of the towbar? Is it the same hitch pictured in this thread? http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13180 I am thinking it may be the clamp to hold the connector on.

I used M16A1MECH's harness and it was very easy and hasa lasted almost two years now.

Miles is no longer a member but my prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery.

You can it's just a real tight squeeze for the wrench, I did it once with a 1/4 inch drive and a short socket.

So what gadgets have you desinged for it so far?

Sounds like you need to clean and put some dielectric grease on the connections behind the fairing, this is usally the culprit for most RSV audio issues.

Glad yall are ok, check out this thread from earlier this year. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=80277

It is fairly easy, take off the loweres to get to the two 10MM bolts holding the R/R in place, remove the connector make sure to inspect and clean while you have it apart remove the two bolts and reverse the process to install. If you have questions while doing it give me a shout.

Congrats on the Shop I always wanted a Garage with a house.

Most likely your regulator had the same issue back a few months ago.

Enjoy your trip and best of luck with the surgery.

This seems to happen everytime I take the carbs off one of my bikes and it is a real Pain to get these right, you have to make sure that the nuts on the carbs are set just so and the tension on the throttle is right. I also found out the cables will bind if they are pushed too far into the fairing or pulled out too far. Another thing to check is where the cables come out of the cruise control junction that they are crossed and not bound up. The service manual has a procedure but I have never tried it I usally get it worked out after a few tries.

We actually have a member that is not old enough to buy beer yet.

Havew found a couple but the dealer would not let me take my bike in the showroom to get the pic . I will keep hunting.
