does anyone know the difference between a dead skunk on the highway and a dead lawyer on the highway? the skid marks in front of the skunk.

I have noticed a difference in how it handles in turns. My first ride made me think the forks were made of rubber. Maybe i am unconciously making slight adjustments to my riding style? Whatever, i am becoming more comfortable riding it. Now if i could only get my wife to ride with me. The only bike she would want me to ride is a schwinn or huffy. -
Thanks for the welcome. You mentioned the slower ventures and I must say, I have never ridden a bike with as much power as my 88. Now for my question. How do I get rid of the front end wobble? It only shows up if I, foolishly, release my grip on the handlebars. But knowing its there is a little disconcerting. thanks for any info.

I'm glad i came across your post . It turns out i bought a good one. Other than bleeding the clutch and re-soldering some pins, (4) everything is wonderful. I have had to repair some plastic, but it isn't difficult. I have learned most of what I needed to know from this site. The only thing I didn't learn here is how heavy it is to pick up! While parking, my pant leg caught on the foot peg. Once it starts over, its going all the way. lesson learned, don't start leaning the bike over until the kick stand is fully deployed. Luckily, the only breakage to come of it. Broken ribs. My own. I'm hoping this a one lesson thing. If anything else comes up i'm sure i'll look here first. Thanks to everyone who posted info on fixes for these great bikes. Oh by the way mine is a 1988 venture royale and it looks beautiful.

Cut the heel toe and made just a toe shifter
Howard B replied to muaymendez1's topic in Poor Man Tips and Fixes
On my 1996 Vulcan 800, I always wanted a heel toe shifter and could not find one anywhere. Now with my yvr i dont see the need for one. I would definitely like to look at some foot boards though.
