    I had the same problem with my 83...I ended up just taking it out. Now i have extra storage up front It may be easier to get a newer system installed, but thats just me.

    I had a hard time bleading the linked brakes (left front and rear controled by rear MC) untill I put speed bleaders on. It now takes about 5 min to refreash the fluid.

    Make sure there is nothing binding the pivit point and possibly lube it. The MC may need to be cleaned/rebuilt. Mine would lock up in me until I cleaned the presure releaf hole (abouth the size of a small pin)

    These look like they might be progressive but I do not know for sure. There is very little travel for my forks and I am constantly bottomong out. If they are stock they are worn out. If they are progressive they may not have the correct spacers. when I took the cap off there was verry little pressure.

    Its been a mild winter here. I've been lucky enough to ride at least twice a week to work. Dod the same thing last year but on an XS1100 with no faring or wind shield. I love the faring on my Venture!!! It makes riding in the cold almost fun!.. (I said almost)

    I was not able to ride yesterday...winds in the 75 to 102 mph range. But I rode this morning to work it was a balmy 28* F. After riding all winter last year with out a faring, riding the Venture is almost like riding in a car. No cold blast to the face and my fingers don't go numb.

    Rode to work this morning, everything was dry and about 45*. By 4:00 pm It started to snow, by 5:00 pm slush started to build up on the roads. I didn't take the Highway home stuck to the back streets to keep away from trafic. The bike handled it with out slipping at all. Last year during the winter all my cages were in the shop and my wife had to get to work. The rodes in the near my house were covered with 3 in of packed snow. We took her XJ750 and it only slid around one corner but I managed to keep it upright. The roads were clear by the time we made it to the main roads. Riding on snow is something that I avoid when possible.

    You would need to expose the floor joists to see if the chimney is load bearing.

    The only problem I have with mine is when I open the trunk all the way the bolt in the drivers back rest dug into the top of the passenger’s backrest. They are still worth getting. Mine stays on even with a passenger. No pins (that I know of) but it is a quick and easy removal. I think this is what you are talking about. http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab69/tcoop_album/Bikes/24026242.jpg

    I have floor H/T shifter on my 83. It seems to be pretty smoth to me. I'm not able to compaire to before the floor boards were put on... I added them before i started riding it. I can say it shifts smother and quieter that My XS1100...but that does not take much.
