Met Eyehook yesterday when he and his wife came by the house. Turns out my wife knew him for about a year at work as they always talked about our dogs on break. The world dont get any smaller than that. He just purchased a 1986 Royale, Black and Uschi. Looks to be in excellent shape with 47k on the clock. Im sure he will post some pics soon. That was a hint, Larry.....

I happened to come up with a new "smilie" that made me think of Black Owl. Here is one that he can use to indicate he is attending one of our meets.

OK guys I am leaving for Colorado in the morning. Stopping in Iowa to meet a fellow biker (nyuk), and then out through Nebraska through the sand hills and then some how some way to get to Denver / Thornton CO. to my daughters and then Tuesday 22nd to meet up with Big John for dinner and a meet and greet near there. Then the following weekend headed home and hopefully meet up with OB-1 out in Wyoming (east side) near the Black Hills and putts around there for a while. then back to Minnesota and Paul Bunyon and the 10,000 lakes for a much needed rest. See ya all when I get back.

Called 2 Yama shops locally today but got no answer to my question. Actually, I was told parts dept was too busy and to call back. I am wanting to get the Wagner grill from Diamond R, but it only comes in black. I have no problem painting it to match my blue, but I am trying to find out if I can get some paint thru Yama or will I have to go to a paint shop and have it mixed? Anyone know? Thanks

I pick up my new 08 Venture this afternoon. Thanks for the help in my decision making process...we looked at a lot of bikes, kept coming back to this one. My only concern is the windshield and looking through it, getting a shorter one and then buffeting the wife. I'm sure we'll get through it. THANKS. WOO HOO!!!! As some of you know, I am currently shopping for a new bike and strongly considering the Venture. I have a couple of questions that would be great to get answers to. 1) I have heard that the 07's have some issues?? Is this true? Something about the electronics/CB/radio suddently quit working. There is a black 07 at at local dealer, but if I should focus on 08's, I have no problems with that. 2) Do you actually look through the windshield? If so, how do you deal with that in rain? (this would be my first touring bike, so looking through the windshield might be the norm..??) Thanks for the help.

Ok I finally got time this evening to install my new Fork Brace. I got the black and I suppose it doesn't look bad. A little different, but I'm glad I went with the black, maybe just to be different. So far I haven't got to test it out yet. I only got a short ride in this evening and didn't get to try out the top end yet, but I will be soon. I'l proide an update later to see if my wobble is any better. (Thanks Condor)

Well i did it. I went and put a down payment on a 2006 RSV black cherry. I have been a member here since Febuary but didnt have a bike. I had a 1st gen 83 that needed more repair than i could do but i just got rid of about 3 weeks ago and have been looking new one for about 4 months now. I really like the looks of the 2ng gens. I could'nt make up my mind on which color to get I had it down to 3 that i liked 2000 MM, 04 white or the 06 Black Cherry. I seen a Black Chery the other day (sunday5/18/08) on the interstate in Missouri it was heading north on I55 and i was going south dang near broke my neck trying to get a better look at it and thats when i made up my mind thats what i wanted. I go and pick her up some time next week in Kansas City so i you see a black chery heading east on 70 or south on 55 and you cant see the drivers face because of the smile then that will be me so just honk and wave. Hopefully i will see some of you nice people down the road one day and we can stop for some DQ ICE CREAM. lol lol:rotf:

I went with Sharon to the store today...not optional, so was looking around at Wally's for bike stuff. I washed my all black scoot on a freaky 68* last Monday. Since wax melts off around here whenever scoot is in the sun, I looked at alternatives. This is the 5th black scoot I've had in a row & I'm real tired of constant cleaning + waxing. Most 'wax' goes on 'white'....and I really don't like that, either. Today, I got some Polymer Protective Coating, made by "Mothers" & is called FX or FK...can't tell, but it's CLEAR & supposed to be way better than wax. Cost about $6. for ~10 oz of clear liquid. Not supposed to melt away on a sunny day or leave any white spots. Sure looks good. Can't be any more useless than wax. Anyone know about this stuff??

I discovered the other day that my left side blinkers weren't blinking, Checked the bulbs front and back which were good. Then discovered that lead (black & Brown) to left rear blinker had been pinched and shorted. I repaired the lead, checked and replaced fuses as needed. Now niether side blinks and no rear lights other then tail light. Front running lights are on but neither blinks, Nor does the blinker indicators on the dash. The hazard switch doesn't seem to do any thing. But it reads ok when doing pin out test. I thought that since I've been caught in several rides lately in the rain that moisture and/or corrosion might be a factor. :lightbulb:oh yea!. Wasn't that the problem that someone else was having on the North Ga 2nd Annual M&E that was covered in detail on that thread last week? :scratchchin:The problem did show up after I trusted 86ers weather report for that ride. Note to self: Go back and reread that thread. I Have taken turn signal switch apart, cleaned and reassembled. I believe I have narrowed it down to the signal flasher relay and/or Canceling unit but am not sure exactly which device is which. Tracing out color coded wiring it appears to me that both devices are combined together within the same little Black box. Is that possible? -
:dancefool:MY PIGGY BACKER XL! Nice lady to work with, she said it would be delivered TOMORROW!!. They have them is stock ready to ship. I also ordered the swivel hitch from Black Tie Accessories. The Piggy Backer has a strange tube and Black Tie makes a special swivel for the Piggy Backer. Is there anything that I need to do before I assembly it? Some have put plywood in the bottom and added eye hooks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This website is great. I happened to come across this doing a search for a part i'm needing. Reading the threads, all the information that is offered. Wow! I just bought a 1984 yamaha xvz12 1200cc venture. Still trying to get use to it. Never had a bike with a fairing on it. Gonna take some time to get use to it. Great bike. I have a problem. On the side cover. There is a clip that attaches the side cover to the frame on the bottom of the cover. It is black and it says the word pull on it. You pull it off the sidecover and let it down and pop off the cover. I looked at the schematics from different websites and can't seem to find the part on it. Can you advise. Thanks, Kevin

General question, I know, but can anyone give me a ball park idea of what it would cost to have an RSV painted? I would probably do something straight forward, like the Black or Silver that Yamaha currently uses. Maybe red, but again, nothing fancy. Thanks for any insight.

i've got an 07 venture that i tried to install the tri-star brake/running light module on. i found a harness under the seat that had 5 wires in it, blue,yellow, brown,dk. green and black......when testing these wires they corresponded to the tailight (blue), ...brake light (yellow),.... LT. turn (brown), ....Rt. turn (Dk. green) .....and ground ( black).....i made all the connections, tried it, everything worked.....turned the bike off...key off........and the rear turn signals were on, not blinking...just on...............is this the right harness......anyone have any experience with this module.........i spent all day on this...even went down to yamaha, got yamaha connectors so i could wire the module and plug it in....(i know how to disconnect the wires from the plug)........so i'm gett'in frustrated.....i have the yamaha service manual, and, i gotta say, it's on of the worse service manuals i ever seen when it comes to the wiring diagrams..........

Ok 2nd gen guys, get ready, something fell off a 1st gen. Well, it appears that when I towed Brad's bike to meet him, I may have lost both side panels. They were very snug when snapped in place, but due to having the seat off and the top tab not being held in place by the seat, they must have blown off, because when he got home, they were gone. It also appears that the way he put his straps on that it would have held the side panels in place if they were on when he strapped it down. I have offered him a spare set I have that are painted purple, but I would like to see if we can find some black ones first. So, let us go on a treasure hunt and see if we can find some black ones for him. Thanks, RandyA

Finally got the new to me Venture to where it will start and run. Clutch is working. Brakes on front. Still got rear brakes and a lot of plastic to go.But a lot of moisture coming out of the breather tube. Had it running without box on and a LOT of moisture coming out of there. So heavy it throws it in drops when you rev it. Don't know. That black cloud just don't want to go away. Don't want to say it. HEAD GASKET?? Change engines??"Blue Beast" starting to look like my best option.

Saw Elvis riding an 06 black cherry RSV today in St. Augustine. Elvis!!!...you one of us??

The only thing better then a Black Venture is... a Black Venture with a Cherry on top! Black Cherry Rules!

Dont want the Rivco chrome (and heard there were possible quality issues? and the price is high for me). But I am looking for an actual 2nd Gen stand, not a retrofit of a 1st gen stand. Did Yamaha even offer this... or anybody else out there track one down ?? Figure for my use, under the bike, I want black for the dirt and grime.

I got Sharon a new Nolan helmet, but couldn't find one that fits my square head better than the one I have. So I'll just need to paint it shiny black. Does anyone know what type of paint, primer, prep, etc., I should use ??
