Sorry to hear this, I know how they get some deeply inbedded into your life, we are struggling with same decision concerning our oldest cat, he has gone from 13 pounds down to 5 and is fading more and more each day, it will not be long. They take up such a large part of your heart, it is hard to let them go.

I do not know anything about that particular trailer, but when get ready to hook up the electricals, check out my ad in the classifieds, I am sure I can help you out. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4200&title=auxillary-tail-light-harness-for-royal-star-venture&cat=35

Keep an eye on this web site, Teledyne has a lot of divisions, the one I work at in Daytona Beach has hired about 50 people this year and we still looking for more. http://www.teledynecareers.com/

I have been a might confused a time or two , but I have never been lost.

The passenger volume control only works for the passenger headsets, does not control the speakers.

Do not let anything but fear and common sense get in your way.

He is a member he and on the Delphi sites, nice guy, Barracuda and I had breakfast with him one day over in Webster. He has had good reviews over on Delphi.

Barry, I am planning on being there, has a resturant and time to eat been selected? I am just riding up and back the same day.

I had an issue like that after I installed K&N filters and opened up my air boxes, I had to re shim the slider needles, still had just a little hesitation under certain hard throttle conditions, ended up putting stock air boxes back on, kept the K&Ns. You did not say if the bike is new to you or if you have had it for a while, and if this just started or what the history is, so a little tough to help you trouble shoot. If the bike is new to you and you have not checked the air boxes and air filters , I would start there. Check the second gen tech pages there is an article on adjusting the shims I believe.

Probably not necessary, but this would be the time to do it seeing as you will want to drain the fluid and flush the system.

Honda has issued their second recall notice concerning rear brakes on certian year models of Goldwings, up to 2012. here is a link to a post started by Eck a few days ago. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=88588

I posted some photos a while back, here is a link to that post. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=850997#post850997 I have made a few subtle changes since those photos, most notable is removal of the giant windshield in favor of the stock windshield.

Thoughts and prayers for speedy healing of body, mind and spirit.

Bubber I bought mine from RidersNeeds.com, I think through Amazon, maybe Ebay, the number on the invoice I have says P/N 18-4615 YAMAHA, from K&L. Here is phone number for RiderNeeds 877-547-0777, their web presnce is iffy when you search for their website and ebay shows their ebay store to be closed. Maybe this helps.

Same thing I did when my fuel pump quit.

Mike, Do not plan on going any where, as long as both will have me, just starting on the learning curve for the GL, will take a while to get a knowledge base built up on this girl. As long as I do not toast to many brain cells I will continue to contribute here and there when I can.

Yup, a lot of mixed feelings, but I am sure I made the correct decision.

Just got home from the dealer that had my 07 Venture on consignment, was going to drop off the spare keys and chit with the key number, but they sold it last night. Asked them to have the new owner contact me so I can turn them over to him or her. I am going to miss the Venture, but I am going to love riding this Goldwing.

Barry, I would expect if you contact a local Honda dealer and give them your VIN number they should know. PS, My Venture sold last night, stopped by the dealer today that had it on consignment and they confirmed it was sold.

Mike Here is a great thread by Goose on changing the coolant, http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37353 I always use the pre mix Honda stuff from he dealer, not cheap but I know it is the correct stuff. Avoid any auto coolant that has silica in it, they add silica to act asa scubbing agent to remove corison build up, but it can be harmfull to the water pumps on the bikes, I see this on both Yamaha forums and now Goldwing forums I frequent. I have been known to let mine go well past the recommended time and interval, with no issues. Funny I just did the coolan change on my Goldwing last week end , because it had hi the recommended miles, and not really having any history on the bike, I thought it best to know where i was with it.

I put Grip Puppies on my 07 right after I got it, they cover the stock grips and give a more comfortable grip, They are inexpenisve and if they start to to go bad, tearing or chalking on my hands, just peel them off and replace them. I always bough mine from California Sport Touring, but they are out of buisness, here is a link to Amazon that lists various types of Grip Puppies and similar items. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=grip+puppies+motorcycle&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=13952733741&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7068880474935219477&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_1zgyt9fd96_b

Had a similar but different event on my way to International this year. Somewhere in middle Georgia the band on my not so old Seiko Kenitic watch broke, fell off my wrist , hit the wife in the foot and then the pavement, we were several miles down the road before I figured out what fell off the bike and hit the wife's foot. I am sure it did not survive.

Barry, Yes, stay with the 4th.

Works for me, as long as I in town. Gotta go to Tijuana some time in October but no dates set yet.
