    Gentlemen , where did you get your clutch kits and would you also have part numbers? Thanks!
  3. Wayne McClain
    Rick, I'm awaiting another set of pillow top seats I have ordered. When they arrive I will be sending them to you following your instruction on post. Thank you!!

    I wear Harley boots so I don't care if anybody knows. I've had two different Harley bikes...just not comfortable enough for me at this season in my life. Thanks:301:

    Sir what is the " butler mod"? Merry Christmas

    I have a '99 venture with the standard smooth seats. I have ridden up to 400 miles with minimal discomfort. I bought a set of pillow seats and installed along with pillow backrest. I want the Mrs. as comfortable as possible. Are these as comfortable as they look and are they hot in the summer? I weigh around 150lbs. Thanks to all and have a Merry CHRISTmas!!

    ....yes ,the ones behind the fairing do check those and you may want to go ahead and grease them up with dielectric grease...this caused all my cb woes!!

    :)Gentlemen , thankyou so much for your input on this! I can't imagine trying to figure this out by myself....simply put, wouldn't have happened!!

    I've about decided to pursue this route. Do you have to use the big round and dc output on the fairing? I was hoping I could use the cassette power supply when I remove it and neatly run wiring into fairing. Thanks
  12. Wayne McClain
    I have the fairing apart now and was making repairs on cb when I came up with this idea of mp3 thing. The RCA jack or whatever on the back of the radio, is it located off the amp or the cassette unit ? Also what model , if the one you guys are talking about, of Garmin is now being made that is similar to the ones you gentlemen have since you have had yours a while or are the models you have still available? I like this idea.

    ....ok , I watched the you tube video of install of the venture mp3 or sd player from spain and I think install looks pretty easy! It 's not going to change the appearance from the outside of the bike that I can tell . This is a nice option!! Thanks!!

    So if I currently don't have the cable to the cd player, I would need to install that I assume? I would just order the cable from yamaha or can I get from the place you mentioned? Thanks
  15. Wayne McClain
    I've never heard of doing this. Is it common place? Where did you get the mount and is the gps thing water-proof? Thanks

    Gentlemen , I absolutely love this forum as a wonderful source of information! That being said , I was thinking of installing a CD player but after reading several posts, I believe an MP3 player may be a better choice? Is there a "clean looking way" other than using the aux plug on cassette deck, which I plan on converting to storage box as seen on other posts and since mine doesn't operate anyway,and is there a wiring harness or adapter to accomplish this? We ride in some remote areas that radio reception is poor at best. I may have placed this in the wrong forum as I have a '99 yamaha venture...don't know how to move to gen 2. Thanks for your help in advance! Last edited by Wayne McClain; Today at 09:23 PM.

    How much sea foam do you gentlemen put into a full tank? Is it ok to run this stuff all the time as a p.m.? Thanks
  18. Wayne McClain
    Gentlemen, with the help of the schematic Mike sent me , I was able to locate the source of my low output cb volume as corroded pins on yellow set of pin-plugs behind headlight assembly. The fairing came apart quite easily with no damage!! I was very careful ,systematically removing each screw and component. Here I was worried sick about taking this apart .....piece of cake!! Thanks to Mike and all for your input!!
  19. Wayne McClain
    Yep..I thought I would need to split the fairing as much as I hate to!! I was thinking connections or amp. I really dont care about cassette but may replace with good used one since I'll it apart. I would love to have the pdf of schematic but I don't know to pm or im or whatever you do. I'll see if I can figure it out . Thanks to All!!
  20. Wayne McClain
    new developement, the cassette doesn't work at all. I've never tried to use it. Could this be related to cb?
  21. Wayne McClain
    ......just thought someone may have had this problem before. Seems like everyone else has the transmit problem. I'm going down now to recheck my electrical connections ...will let you know:)
  22. Wayne McClain
    Yes the volume is all the way up and I appreciate your helping me understand this. I have extensive electronics background but I did need to consult owners manual on how to operate controller. The volume window displays "cvol" I believe or " cvol20" or something like that. Is it possible the cb module is faulty? I have removed seats and confirmed good connectios there. I'm concerned about amp..what you think?
  23. Wayne McClain
    Thankyou sirs for your response! I didn't think the problem would be with attenna but since they are not stock they are suspect to me. Yes it transmits loud and clear but I just can't hear any thing going down the road. In the garage it's not very loud however I can understand what is being said. The TX and RX operates when receiving and transmitting. I have not tried the tape deck but the radio operates very loud and clear just the reception range I feel is very low. Do you think amp? I'll try the connections asap and let you know. I just hate digging around running the risk of damage or causing a rattle but I've got to do somethin g.

    I have 1999 yamaha venture that broadcasts loud and clear to my fellow riders however I can't hear them at all.The cb volume is at max 20, I've turned the IC down/up/mid andd I've even used headphones/speakers. If I have the bike in garage in accessories mode where it's relatively quiet , I can hear truckers reasonably clearly. A friend of mine says his venture is the same way. Is this typical for these bikes and if not ,what can I do?? Someone has put some "jitterbug" or something like that after market attenna on cb and radio( which has very poor range). I have ordered factory attenna to eliminate as possibility!!The cb one currently doesn't have the fat area mid-shaft on attenna. Thanks!!
