I just listed a very nice set of Venture saddlebag liners by Bestem in the 2nd Generation secion of the Classifieds. Since I traded my 2006 Venture, I don't need these anymore. They are really handy and in like new condition. I paid $39.95 plus $10.00 shipping when I bought them. Will take $35.00 which includes shipping. PayPal account is listed as pdr1254. Thanks!

I loved my 06 Midnight Venture - great bike. I also loved my 04 Kawi 1500 Vulcan before the Venture. But after losing 207 pounds in the last year, the Venture just felt too heavy and handled different. I wanted another full dress tourer because ride 2 up and we like to take trips. I test rode the HD Ultra Classic and could not believe how well it handled - so I bought one - 2008 FLHTCU Ultra Classic 105th Anniversary Edition. And I love it too!

Hey guys, I have this super nice Leather Gallery buffalo jacket listed on Ebay - it is a very comfortable, nice jacket - even has the Yamaha & Venture Rider pins still on it! Also listed in classifieds here on this site. Beautiful, very soft men's buffalo leather jacket, size 4XL, by Leather Gallery. I bought this jacket 3 years ago and paid over $300 for it. It has the Thinsulate zip-out liner, front and rear zippered air vents, zippered cuffs, expandable sides, extra elbow padding and kidney padding in the rear. It is a great jacket - very warm. I wore it on a winter motorcycle trip to Gatlinburg, TN 3 years ago and a winter motorcycle trip to Helen, GA 2 years ago- that's it. Worn a total of about 12 days - it is in near perfect condition. At the time I was 380 lbs. and wore a size 58-60 jacket. I've lost over 200 lbs. in the last 15 months and the jacket is just way too big for me now (now wear a size 48 jacket). The only thing wrong is the zipper pull on the left cuff zipper is missing - that's it. It has always been stored in a garmet bag in a cedar chifferobe when not worn. You will not be disappointed in this jacket.

I found a set of the Harley RK mufflers in a box in my garage yesterday. They're a set I bought in 2007 for my Venture (which I no longer have). They have the rear baffle removed and sound good on a Venture - they're medium-loud (probably about a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being loudest). The pipes are in good shape, but do have a few minor scratches that are not really noticable unless you get down and look at them. There are a couple of scruff marks on the underneath side, but these don't show when mounted on the bike. Anyways, I'll let them go for $45 including shipping. Send me an email at pdr1254@hotmail.com if you are interested. Thanks! Bob

I have the Road Kings on my '06 and they sound good - low rumble but not too loud. My buddy has Bubs on his '04 and it has a real nice, throaty rumble - louder than my Road Kings, but not too loud or harsh. When he gets on the throttle, it really sounds good!

I have seen some photos of the 2nd generation Ventures with HD saddlebag top rails istalled. Has anyone here done that? If so, which HD rails work on the Venture? I don't care for the rails that Yamaha sells as they do not look as good as the HD rails style does to me. Can anyone help me on this one? Thanks in advance.

I use the Unscented Pledge. Found it doesn't attrack bees in the warmer months like the lemon and citrus scented do.

I think it was 3 years ago, we went on a trip to Oktoberfest in Helen, GA the last week of October. The night we arrived, the temperature had dipped to 12 degrees and there was a 15 to 20 mph wind. As I recall, they said the wind chill factor made it -2 degrees. It was definitely colddddddd!!

We have the chrome Kruzer Kaddy holders. One on the handlebar for me and one on the rear grab rail for her. Works great and looks great too! They also come in black leather-look.

Dealer mounted new front tire wrong!
BamaVenture06 replied to BamaVenture06's topic in Watering Hole
Just an update on the "backwards" mounted tire. I called the tire manufacturer's home office today and told them what happened. They had their Chief Engineer/Tire Guru call me back. He said that there should not be any problem with remounting the tire correctly since there was less than 800 - 1000 miles put on it. According to him. it takes that long for the tire to "break in" and to develop a "wear pattern". I asked if the safety and integrity of the tire has been compromised. He stated that with less than 300 miles on it that it has not been compromised at all. He stated that he would not have any reservations about using the tire on his personal motorcycle. We'll see. I'm still gonna talk to the owner/manager and see what they offer, and advise them I prefer a new tire. If I can get a new tire, I will feel much better. If not, at least I know the "experts" at the tire manufacturer say I am OK with this tire. -

No offense taken. Just clarifying where the arrow was located and pointing.
