Gentlemen , where did you get your clutch kits and would you also have part numbers? Thanks!

Here you go Wayne,
The pillowtop seats are my favorite seat to rework:

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 have a couple friends who have these on there HD's and they swear it's like A/C. Do they fit the RSV good and can you hide the HD logo ? Wouldn't want anyone to think I was a wanna-be
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:

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 just looked on ebay for a garmin 760 as it had the features i wanted i have a 750 in the car but it does not answer the phone [no bluetooth ] i got them both for $90 au each took 5 days from america sitll has the us maps on it as well as australia & new zealand the bike ones were out of my price range about $600 when i was looking. i am very happy with both the 750 and the 760 i have a 4 gig sd card in both if i am going away for a couple of days i just take extra cards with different music
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
-
If you take the front fairing off and look at the back of the radio unit, you will find a small RCA jack (same type you would install a set headphones to) hanging out the back of it... Run an extension RCA wire from that back towards the instrument panel. From there you can plug it into your favourite MP3 player or music device. Set the radio control unit to AUX and voila, you have tunes blaring out of your speakers. It is that simple to set up.. nothing elaborate or technically difficult about it.. (if *I* can do it, anyone can...)
I run a Garmin 450 Zumo which has a built in mp3 player, and in this configuration I can hear the voice direction prompts through the speakers (safer than looking down at the GPS screen!). I've hooked my iPhone, iPod and other devices to this and it works like a charm.
I've had the Zumo 450 since 2006 and it's been exposed to all kinds of downpours and it's still kicking strong..
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
-
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!

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
-
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!!
-
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!!
-
new developement, the cassette doesn't work at all. I've never tried to use it. Could this be related to cb?
-
......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:)
-
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?
-
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

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!!
