Well, it's all back together and looks AWESOME!! Here's what I did: I replaced the OEM Headlight with a Phase 7 LED. I also replaced the OEM Driving Lights with LED Sun Spots. I also replaced all the signals & brake lights with LED. All from Custom Dynamics. Here is the comparison that I'm saving regarding AMPS, not $$$$ because these weren't cheap: LED Headlight low beam 1.5 amps / stock 4.9 amps High beam 2.3 amps / stock 5.5 amps LED Driving Lights 1.4 amps / stock 4.0 amps That's a huge savings on the battery if I might say...I've attached a bunch of pics. I also added a set of Crutchfield speaker baffles, removed the tape player and added an MP3 cable while the fairing was apart. I wonder what's next???? I really appreciate everyones comments, posts and pics on this site. Best $12 BUCKS I've spent in years...... Thanks, JAKBAG

Ok so here's an update. I heated the outside beveled area of the glass and was able to remove the metal bucket assembly from the glass. Once removed I used a dremmel tool to clean the residual factory glue. At the advice of my buddy, who owns a body shop, I used urethane, which is used to secure automobile rear windows and applied a bead around the inside lip and then applied 3 lines from top to bottom inside the metal bucket. I then aligned the Phase 7 LED headlight from Custom Dynamics and placed it into the metal bucket. Urethane sets in 15 minutes and is rock solid in 24 hours, so placement must be perfect. The old snap ring is useless since the LED is slightly smaller in diameter so that was discarded. I'm not totally finished, but the headlight is now secure inside the bucket. I will finish the job on Sunday, but thought I'd share this little tid bit should anyone want to try yourself. Ok, so I cheated a little and had to plug it in and all I can say is WOW!!!! Stay tuned and thank you to those who helped me with the removing of the glass question:) Jakbag

I am sorry that I didn't say the year and make. Probably since I'm new here and thought it came up under my profile. I have 2001 RSV.. With that said, it is the metal bucketry and no it's not the clip. I'm simply asking does the metal bucketry assembly come apart from the glass housing? I'm attempting to replace the glass housing with an all in one LED component. Unlike the "changing of the bulb posts", which I've read or the "conversion to HID", I am looking for anyone who has switched to an "all" LED headlight bulb, not a conversion, which I have searched and read many of those posts. It appears that very few, if any have made the switch to LED and much rather went with an HID convertion. I'm calling Custom Dynamics this morning to pick their brain because one would think that since they sold the product they would have some install knowledge??? At a loss right now and seeking some advice.... :confused07::confused07: Jakbag

I need some help...I just recently switched to LED turn, run and brake lighting. They work great thanks to Custom Dynamics. I also changed my driving lights to LED Sun spots and they too are great. So here's the problem: I have a Phase 7 LED headlight to replace the original, but HOW DO YOU OR CAN YOU REMOVE THE METAL HOUSING BUCKET FROM THE GLASS? I need the housing in order to mount the new LED bulb. Is this possible because without the metal housing I cannot mount the new LED bulb? If I cannot use the metal housing can anyone shed some light on a possible alternate solution. I really cannot use the LED driving lights with a regular headlight bulb because it doesn't look good at all. Thanks in advance:) Jakbag

I too was left with that dilemma last August after buying my Venture!! Although I had GREAT times on my Roadstar, I soon realized that my Venture was definitely a true KEEPER!!! So needless to say I sold the Roadstar and got the $$$ I wanted too. Good luck with your Venture:)

Took about 2 hours and all went without a problem. Best part was upon test driving there was NO POPPING anymore on deceleration:)) I also did a carb sync too so hopefully that will give me some better MPG's. Next project is to replace the stock speakers, any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks for all the GREAT tech posts on this site!!!!

I am new to this site and have really enjoyed reading all of the tech tips from a vast variety of owners. I'm particularly interested in plugging / removing the AIS on my 2001 Venture. I have read several of the post and was looking for anyone who has done it more recent. Any recent updated tips would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from anyone!!! Thanks, Jakbag
