    i did my carb diaphragms and your article was right beside me following all your tips. all went smooth. a members had asked what about if the carbs are still on the bike. take the air cleaner cover off, take out the air filter and use a long screwdriver to hold the diaphragm plunger while putting the long spring and cover back on.

    they are good, hard to do when you first go at it, practice, practice and it gets easier. make sure the aluminum is clean, scrub the area that you are welding, i have little wire brushes that i brush well before using the rods. i use a torch that has a hose on it so that i have a more controlled flame. the portable torches when you tip them the flame goes up and down and are useless when trying to use this product.

    i have the same year bike and last season same thing, pulled away and green antifreeze coming out of lower fairing. pulled the lower farings , checked and found the rad was leaking from the backside down near the bottom. yami want 800 bucks for a rad, so i had mine recored for 200.

    Bob, dont do it, just my opinion. look at any motorhome towing a car, the driven wheels are off the ground. the Venture is designed to be running to lubricate bearings, bushings etc. disconnecting the driveshaft is a fairly complex job, and then when you get to where you wanted, you gotta put her back in. find an old boat trailer and put a u-channel up the middle. boat trailer is wide and stable for towing a bike. get some good tie down straps, (not the cheap ones, the hooks on the ends are no good, trust me, i found out the hard way with a 300 lb dirt bike.)

    i.ve got a spare one too. you never know when you may throw the old one out. i have converted to the spin on filter, old one sitting in the spare parts bin. my bin is nothing like Bobs though.

    save your money. a bunch of us on here have tried. the LED is not as bright, and the bulb failure light stays lit on the dash driving you nuts. try a 2357 bulb, yes i draws more current when braking but is much brighter.

    you will be okay. all we can do is say our prayers for them and that we can enjoy another day. just be glad he did not take you with him. hwy 400 northbound up near Barrie, total sheet of ice, i call them dinosaurs/SUV's flying past with their family on board, warp 2, pulling a trailer. sure enough as he goes past me, the whole thing going in circles. one loop, two loops, and off the road he goes, skidoo's flying everywhere, truck rolling over into the ditch. another truck went by wiped out and goes into the ditch just ahead of the first guy. these turkeys drive this highway every weekend to go up north to relax. all we can try to do is drive safe. cheers, Scott

    we bought one also. our first one was white, then grey by the end of the season. i got a new black one for christmas. cheers, Scott

    Thank God you are still with us. it is never good news when we hear that one of our brothers or sisters has gone down. take your time and heal well. the bike can be repaired by the sounds of it. i went down last Sept and i am in the process of putting back together the left side of my bike. you will find the parts little by little. i used Plastex to repair all my fairing and lower fairings, it is great stuff to work with. what kind of tires do you run? did the front tire lock when you went down? i have Metzler on the front of mine and the front tire locked, slid and i went down. i am now installing Avon front and going to try one of these TCB (total control braking) units on the front.

    how many ventureriders will it hold Don. we may end up with a mini Tsunami with all the Canadians showing up and wanting to pile into the hottub. we have topless Tuesdays in our pool during the summer, send those girls up my way will you.

    Ohh Sherry had a pair of magnetic sunglasses, she lost them before even getting on the bike. i didnt like the little magnets they use. now if they had a big magnet and you have a metal plate in your head they may work. i use a pair of clip ons that flip up, so while driving if i go through a tunnel i can just flip them up. i do like the idea of duct tape. my next pair will be transitions.

    is the popping noise maybe coming from the exhaust. these bikes are known for the exhaust collectors to rust and have holes in it, or the where the pipes go into the collector rust out. my 86 did. when the bike is cold start it up, lay down on your back put your hand up around the exhaust collector and feel for any exhaust leakage before the exhaust system gets too hot. i have an 86 also, keep in touch. cheers, Scott
