Here is some progress on my fairing. A friend helped me make the brackets out of plywood as templates to scan into the water-jet machine. As for paint I'm thinkin I'm gonna go with black for now, just to get rid of that white. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn195/xxMPWATERDAWGxx/0913101329.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn195/xxMPWATERDAWGxx/0912101249.jpg

I've been a member for a few months but have never posted. My ? is this.. My (new to me) 89 venture has developed a problem. After my 2000 mi. trip to the Black Hills I noticed oil in the overflow tank. What would cause this? Blown Headgasket? Or is there another way? :confused24: -
I have been cruising the BMW forums and notice they swear by the Metzler 880 for the K1200LT touring bike. Oh yeah they complain about the same stuff we do...like top heavy, slow speed handling and a whole other set of problems I know there is several members here that has not had good luck with the Metzler 880 on the 2nd Gen Venture. Seems they have a tendency to chunk rubber off at some point. Some members here love them and would not use nothing else even when they hear of others problems. I am kinda scared of them since more than one of our members report the chunking problem. I always thought maybe it was the weight of the bike causing some of this problem...but the BMWK1200LT is not that much different from the Venture. Running weight of the BMW is 853lbs. RSV 869lbs Is it the horsepower...Venture about 98hp-BWM 116hp. Why is it the BWM folks never seem to have problems with this tire? Any ideas? Also my son's 2010 Raider (730lb bike) has a set of Metzler 880 on from the factory...and in the owners manual they strickly recommend nothing but this tire. 120/70-21 210/40-18 Metzler 880. By the way...that 113 ci Raider is one of the most uncomfortable bikes I have ever riden...feet and arms out front...back bent over, you would never touch a back rest if you installed one...you look like a C riding it. But it will get up and go...but I do not think there is a chance it will out run BLACK BETTY even if it is BLACK, the fastest color of them all. I tell you what...that new BMW K1600GTL sound like it is gonna be something to consider. 160 HP in line 6 cylinder with 129lb/ft torque...heck who knows...you might even be able to see the engine on it... Spy photo...of what is supposed to be it.. Yamaha better tighten thier A$$ up...I just hope it comes in BLACK when it hits the street. Looks like a FJR with a Big tour pack on it. Probably runs like or better than a FJR. http://www.cycleworld.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/motorcycle_news/future_bikes_spy_shots/10q3/bmw_k1600gt_and_gtl_-_future_bikes_spy_shots/3472375-1-eng-US/bmw_k1600gt_and_gtl_-_future_bikes_spy_shots_image_575_346.jpg http://www.cycleworld.com/motorcycle_news/future_bikes_spy_shots/10q3/bmw_k1600gt_and_gtl_-_future_bikes_spy_shots

maybe this isnt new, but i see so many great looking paint jobs on this site, but the black plastic still looks like 25 year old, sun beat, black plastic! ive been riding mine and i look at the dash and think, yuck! so i got a hair up my butt and squirted this on it and WOW, looks like brand new 25 year old plastic.says its made for plastic, rubber, wood, leather, i was careful not to hit the controls (slippery) but didnt mask off anything, just wiped her down after. didnt take much and NO prep. Teflon is carcinogenic (so is used motor oil) so take caution. it worked well on the other plastic, including the wind screen, time will tell if any bad side effects but for now, im real happy with the outcome!!!

I installed a pair of black ceramic coated Rinehart slip ons on my RSV and wow, what a a nice sound! Once the pipes are seasoned in the sound is softened and still throaty with a nice bark when you drop the hammer, yet at cruise the sound is louder than normal but not at all harsh. They look awesome on a Midnight RSV. I'll see if I can some audio / video for how they sound if people are interested. I got these at a cut rate from a Canadian company, nice!

Our trip continued today with a ride from Estes Park to Hill City SD. We took 34 down to Greeley and then picked up US85 north through Cheyenne and Lusk WY. We stopped in Lusk for lunch. I must say that the area of north of Cheyenne is very sparce of people and signs of life. You might ride for 20 miles and not have a curve to deal with. Things got more interesting as we approached Custer SD. We didin't take many photos today but I've loaded some of what Valerie did shoot to the web at www.traynorphoto.com/day11 Real unique naming strategy I have going isn't it? SPOT track: http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=6473 Tomorrow we're just going to tour around the Black Hills for the day. We may ride through Spearfish Canyon and stop by Sturgis to see if anything is going on yet. We turn east and head for home on Friday. Dennis

Got back home last night from the Black Hills....had a great time...just thought I'd share a pix of a place where we hadn't been before. It's a town (population....probably 3) called Rochford. You drive 17 miles in on blacktop, eat at the bar and drive 17 miles back out. The place was packed!

Hello Everyone: I have made so many on line friends from this site in a very short time. If you ever find your way passing through Western Nebraska perhaps on the way to other destinations such as Colorado mountains, Yellowstone in Wyoming or the Black Hills of SD. Besure to let us know you are coming. I would love to meet some of my fellow owners and riders. We are planning our annual trip to the Black Hills of SD the week before Sturgis. I know the area fairly well. Take care....

Ron and I stopped at the Honda dealer today to look at the new Gold Wings. http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr340/whistl/RedGoldWing.jpg They had four of them. One was decked out will about all the chrome accessories you could get and it had a big array of LED's on it. It was $30,000 give or take a few:mo money: So we looked in the used or previously owned area and found an 07 Blue and Black Venture. It was $10,999. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mFsX2_n1RGc/SxDEWEA3v7I/AAAAAAAACDc/0sy0lw0q6eI/s400/royal2.jpg But then we came to our senses and drove home on our 99.http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a200/RonnieY/Newport%20Motorcycle%20Rally%202006/NewportRally2006036.jpg?t=1277775546 After all the other bikes did not have our neat flag on them.

Hey Everyone,,, Did my other favorite Hobby today,,, Went Kayaking in the Northern end of the Suwanee River, about 11 miles lots of deer, couple river Otters, and some cool Snakes. Saturday, I am getting on the Venture for some all day riding, down through Ocala, and back. Nuttin but Backroads. I am looking for a Black LED Brake Light wing/Spoiler for the Trunk of my 09' Venture. I have the Red & Black, I want a Black Spoiler. I'm not wanting to pay $250.00. I really want better brake light visibility & a MUCH better horn, and will knock out the Exhaust Soon. Does that Void The warranty??? ANYONE,, ANYONE? Hope all is well, and the riding has been good for all !! Later "Vern on a Venture"

The seat on my MK1 is faded. Does anyone know what can be used to restore it to it's original black? Something that won't rub off on clothing.

Kenda Kruz Designed to meet the needs and looks of the very popular Cruiser market 120/90X18 Front 140/90X16 Rear Speed Rating: H Sidewall: Black 147.90 for set --------------------------------------------------------- Conti Tour TK17 & TK16 The industry's highest load rating. 120/90H-18 Front 140/90H-16 Rear Speed Rating: H Sidewall: Black 230 for set ------------------------------------------------------ Whats your alls thoughts on either set? I have seen where alot of folks here run the Avon's but they were 300 a set and that is getting way out of my price range when I have to also pay to have them put on..

Now that I am back in VA, it sure is depressing looking outside and my Midnite RSV ain't sitting there. I sure do miss that bike! I only had her for 7 months but man we had some good times! RIP my black beauty!!!! http://hphotos-sjc1.fbcdn.net/hs494.snc3/26972_1362195648803_1048940196_31078560_6669339_n.jpg Taken 2 hours before the accident on 3/27. She sure was looking and running good that morning. Just the day before I had ridden her from Washington DC to Myrtle Beach, SC and just topped 10K miles. She was so young!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying: Ben

We are just about out the door. Going to Port Washington Wis. to pick up our new Rolla-Home camper. Stopping tonight in Mpl. Going to hook up with a old bird for breaky and then off to Wis. Sunday. Moving into Red1's place for a couple of years then finding someone else to scrounge from. Grandpagak is next then home for some riding as the weather should have melted the rest of the snow. Black Envoy towing black little camper should be quit a sight!
