Twigg i enjoyed reading what you have written so far and look forward to reading more. as an ex professional cross country truck driver i have spent many hours behind the wheel of a big truck and have visited all lower 48 states (49 by a proxy load going to Hawaii) as well as 3 Canadian provinces (beautiful country) and have traveled long distance to Philadelphia PA and over to Wildwood NJ 1483 mi. in 22 hrs (Grand Paw passed away) on a Honda Shadow 1100 that was my first LD ride on a bike and was done with no pre trip planing boy did i forget some things to take on the trip planing is a key as well as safety and knowing when to stop for rest that was 20+ years ago. Keep writing and ill keep reading

pmelah replied to pmelah's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
ok i rode to work this morning and no noises that is good for now so i know i cant ride 2 up until i get this fixed as for having the wheel off nope never not in the 3 months iv owned it been to busy riding i have over 20 years of riding to make up for just done the basics changed fluids and replaced front tire i have new plugs for it just have not changed them yet today i will be taking the cage home along with trailer to load up the 99 RSTD and will be dropping it off at Tazmocycles house to have the carbs worked on while im in Atlanta. i did get to ride the 84 on the first day of the sweet 16 crusin the coast so that was fun now to shut it down and give lots of tlc to the 84. Squidly i will definitely try to make the MD day on the 27th to have all those 1st gen experts in one place at one time i cant go wrong just broke oh wait im already broke until my BP claim settelment comes in :cool10: -

i have a noise coming from the back end maybe from the final drive sounds like im dragging something metal on the ground at first i thought it was my mud flap dragging from riding 2 up but that is to high off the ground it does not make the noise when leaning right for right curbs only does this when leaning left or hitting bumps in the road on the center stand in neutral spinning the wheel there is one spot i feel where the wheel rubs something on my 84 any ideas what it could be before i start tearing things apart to repair i would like to make sure i have all the parts i need so i can do this in one day early morning tear apart late morning early after noon fix late after noon put together and ride im using my 84 as a daily rider until the 99 RSTD is running.

i use to use mercury in glass tubes hang them from the rear view mirror and watch the LEO smack the radar guns trying to get them to work again (not happening) my local PD quite setting up speed traps for the longest time my buddy charged them to much to repair them (that was before i found out he was fixing them) so mercury does have its good uses
