I put in Dyna Beads 9k miles ago when I put the Avon Venoms on. The wear is showing no uneveness at all and there is no wobble or bounce. I would use them again and a few friends went to them when they saw my tires.

I constantly get between 45 and 50 mpg running at 60-65. At 80 it drops to around 40. I have a mid size windshield from Yammy. I usually add some seafoam every couple hundred miles or so and I run synthetic oils. I sink my carbs around 2-3 thousand miles, it's simple now got lot of practice, doesn't take long. I also have KN air filters but I don't know if that helps or not. Roy

Hi all had a great time even though we got there late. Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone but the friends I had along thought you were all great, and a friendly bunch. Looking forward to making more events like that. Roy

Annual Inspection_Did I Need Rear Brakes???
Roy Hoffman replied to Long Tall's topic in Watering Hole
I ended up with the same problem with mine, not quite as much ware but the same amount of miles. My 06 is lowered so that shoots that theory. BUT that is poor service if you ask me. ROY:doh: -
ronhenry4 After my mishap my windshield was badly scratched so I started to play with it. A white led will make a blue halo around the whole windshield. Then I took my engraving tool and put my name on it, and it highlighed in blue also so I am going to try an acid etch,but I didn't find a design that I like . They are available in craft stores.

Chroming abs plastic
Roy Hoffman replied to dlhoulton's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
There is supposed to be a man in the Poconos that does chroming and I was told that he does plastic chroming also. It would take some research to find out about. ROY -
I wrapped mine twice already and it blows out if you get on it hard. Just left it out. LOL Roy:think:

I used Dyna beads with my last change and about 8k miles now and no cupping or anything. Feel the same as the day I changed them. Roy:thumbsup:

When I rode it in late June I do not recall checking the speed gague, there was so much traffic but it all went smoothly. As far leo's we only saw one or two all week and they were on surrounding highways. We did encounter several tour buses and two logging trucks that morning. Just ride what is comfortable for you and watch your mirrors if you see a crotch rocket comming, move over they are not called donor bikes for nothing. We had several pass us that morning. Enjoy!!!

The last set of tires I used were Avon Venoms when I changed them I used Dyna beads in them instead of static balance. The dealer I bought them from also rides bike and he swears by them. I have about 4k on the tires now no problems. ROY:thumbsup:

Got mine at Wally world about $6 each soldered long leads on and ran thru rails. I think Auto Zone has them also. I used epoxy to fasten them which I doubt if I neded, some double sided tape sounds good and can easily be removed. ROY:bang head:

Craig sorry to hear about the bike, but as long as you can tell the story that's a plus. I don't know when it happened, but around 5 pm Saturday I took an unscheduled ride on my venture. Put some severe scratches on the right side, I have some black/blue spots forming and the best part my nice shiny helmet has a few gouges in it. like I said I am thankful to be able to tell the story ROY:bawling:

I was down to the Dragon on 6/23/08 and I agree some of the roads around there were really neat. We spent 4 days in the area and never did the same road twice. I was looking thru the pix on line and saw 2 other Ventures there that day. Was either or both members? Roy:photographing:
