Need some insight
Sleeperhawk replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Hey Squid Even on a 2nd gen when riding 1 up, which is seldom, I feel the squirrleyness, feels like I am behind a truck, but when the Mechinic rides, smooth as silk. This could be because I run around 48 rear and 42 front. just don't go lower because of 2up mostly. -
Eck Either Sunday or Monday morning for breakfast would be okay with us. :cool10:

When was the last time the battery was replaced? -
The one I met Saturday at Sumter rode an 07 Blue/Black. Gave her a card to the web site. Will be interesting to see. Says she loves the bike and will not ride or operate any other. Her husband rode a HD. Also, not sure why a woman could not operate this bike. Granted most are not long legged enough, but this woman was about 5 11 Besides, most men that have one, drop it eventually

Saw the new ones here in Sumter, the dealer there has sold 3 already. He says he has sold more in the last 2 years than anytime since they came out in 99. He says women who have been riding the V-Star or other similiar type machines are the ones buying them.

Say an 05 Liquid Silver pulling a trailor going through downtown Columbia on Highway 378 around Noon. Saw an 06 Black Cherry with a Harley and maybe a Honda riding together with Kentucky tags going east on I-20 aroun 1:00 pm . Looks like all headed torward Myrtle Beach.

Chat is working for me. Was surprised to hear the music playing.

Don A lot of us only use the Home page. I have noticed the Search button on different pages do not have the same Search capability. Like for instance, the Search button on this page (making a post) does not have the Google search option. Would be nice if the Search button was consistent on all pages.

Since your bike is an 04, you should be able to get the I basket replaced under warranty.

Come down to Sumter, they have 08 Ventures and the Raiders. They will usually let you test ride also, especially if you sweet talk them.

Since the January 1st, just a little over 7,000 miles and since I got the bike, just broke 60,000 miles. So I am averaging only 20,000 per year. Not enough time to do the rides we want to do.

I went with the smaller front tire, improved slow speed handling immensly for me. Also swapped out bar for Flander Bar and some use risers. Lots of threads for both Here is one I started and had questions when installing. Buckeye Performance helped out a lot. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18579&highlight=flander

The lowest I have seen locally was the Black Cherry/Black for 15,900. I think they would have gone lower about another 500, but I want the charcoal bike

Here is a side by side comparison of the smaller vs the bigger tire. Now you tell me which one is which? http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Sleeperhawks%20Mechanic%20VA%20ME%2020080412/IMG_2394.jpg
