Greetings... A number of years ago, My mother sent me a watch that came in a really nice black domed leather box. It has 2 chrome snaps, and just screams Biker accessory... The watch, unfortunately was rather cheap - and didn't survive time - And I don't wear pimped out jewelry anyway - So now I've sat for hours - on the bike - just pondering WHERE and more importantly - HOW to mount it! It's 7.5" long, 3.75" wide, and 3.5" tall. It has a divider in the center which seperates it into 2 padded compartments. Each compartment is the perfect length for all the normal junk I carry in my 2 front pants pockets - Bic lighters, carmex, dental pick, rolling papers, fold up reading glasses etc... http://i26.tinypic.com/72ggad.jpg Any Ideas where this should properly go on an 89VR? I was just going to stick it on the right side - over my dead CB with Velcro but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Someone might have a better idea. Besides - it's rather too tall for that - It would bump my hand during a U-turn... It's too tall to fit on the top cover, and besides, I have plans for a home-made tank bag. I also considerd the space over the ignition - twixt the bars - or possibly covering the Cruise control lights, or even on the travel bag - facing to the rear... If I had 2 of them - I'd put one on each side! But alas - Only the one... -
I saw on another site a modification to use a fram CA-37-17 air filter in a 1st gen air box. the filter lies flat across the air box with an adapter plate that sits where the ground off inside lip of the airbox was. has anybody tried this? is there potential problems with this type of mod? it sure would save soome cash if this really works. paru

My dad and I do a lot of riding together. Before I purchased my 2nd gen. Venture, we both used the 2 channel Multi Sport Chatter Box(http://www.chatterboxusa.com/hjc_frs.html). My Chatter Box no longer works and am concidering getting a head set for the Venture. I am still unsure as to what headset to get because I want quality sound from my radio so I will probably have to dish out some coin and get the more expensive J&M headset. My question is can I communicate with a 2 channel Multi Sport Chatter Box using the CB on my Venture? I am by far no electronics expert, but looking in the owners manual for both, the radio frequencies are not compatible. If I cannot communicate with the 2 channel Multi Sport Chatter Box, what alternative do I have? Maybe it will be easier to have my dad purchase a Venture.

I finally got around to hauling something on the back of my old Cab Over besides a bike. I've been selling off a few of my projects that never got off the ground and delivered one of them today. It's a '55 Chev pickup. The guy I bought it from years ago had installed an earlier style ('48 -'53) grill and included the older style box with it. That's why there is another box sitting on top of the stock one.

Here are a couple of pics of my trailer that I modified. I can have it as a stake trailer or with a cartop box on it.

I feel the need to provide a shout out for New Enough. They have been the best internet vendor I have ever used - for any product. On Tuesday morning, I ordered a First Gear Killimanjaro jacket - on sale. Got home from work yesterday (Wed.) and there was a box on my back steps. Yup, sure enough - 1 DAY TURNAROUND! And the shipping was included with the purchase. And they contributed a dollar to our website. The jacket is mahhvulus loooking dahhlink. RR

I need some help figuring out what is wrong with my bike before I decide to dig deep into it. I have an '86 venture that has 74 K miles and has an unknown history for most of those miles. Here are some recent repairs: new plugs 1/2 yr ago, new cables & caps this year, new diaphragms last year, carbs synced last fall. My scoot has been underpowered for some time and is getting worse. Tonight I was out looking trying to rule some obvious things out. One thing that is new and significant is that I found a small amount of emulsified oil and what appears to be radiator fluid in the air box (see picture). It seems that it is coming from the engine breather tube that is feed back in to the air box. After the engine is warm you can see a steady stream of smoke/vapor coming out of this tube in the air box. I also do not know what that chamber does that is mounted between the "V", it appears to have both cooling and the engine breather tube. I can't seem to find good documentation on this thing . . . So . . . Do I have a blown head gasket, needs a valve job, or could this be caused by something else?? This site is awesome and very friendly! Thanks for your help! Mike -
Guess I should have taken some pics, but I'll try to describe what I saw. I had the gas tank off... replacing the handlebars and cables. There is an air box on each side on top of the carbs with a piece between the two with some foam between the pieces. The left side foam was oily with more oil toward the rear carb. I also noticed more oily dirt on the rear of the left box. I took the left side off to look inside. Both front and rear carbs looked the same. The rear might have had a little oily feel but if it did, it was not much. The box was more oily to the rear. I didn't see any oil up front, coming from the filter boxes. I keep my oil level about half-way up the site glass. My gas mileage has never been very good and has been worse the last few months. There are three vent tubes underneath on the left near where the center stand is mounted. Two are pretty heavy with oily dirt. One was venting a lot of gas fumes and an occasional drop of gas. Any guesses? I sure don't won't to put it in the shop.

I've noticed on several individual's post they have a "weather box" from other web sites like weatherunderground,etc. My question is how can I add this to my post's. I've searched the FAQ and tried to follow instructions from the weather web sites on how to do this but to no avale. My computer skillls appear to be lacking as to how to complete this,what I'm sure is a simple task. Please point me in the right direction....somebody. Thanks.

The good news is that after waiting for about 6 weeks, Verizon FINALLY got my DSL installed today. The bad news is that it will only work if I take my computer outside, sit it on the central air unit, run an extension cord around the house to plug the DLS modem into, and connect it directly to the telephone junction box. The modem will sync out there but not when I connect it in the house. Apparently I've got some sort of problem with my internal wiring. Too many outlets or something. The thing is, we don't even use any hard wired phones in the house, only cellular, so I just have to trace out the jacks and disconnect some or just run a new cat 5 wire from the junction box outside. Maybe I'll get around to that tomorrow.

Hey there, Has anyone ever attempted to pull of the Lowers on the RSTD? I just recently purchased my 06 and hadn't had it 3 days and took it back due to the whine. "I" basket is supposed to be here this coming Tuesday and I have my fingers crossed. Anyway, when I went riding the day after I bought it.. man it got warm down there by my feet and legs. So I started looking around and saw that it looks like the only things there, which would require relocation or mounting of some sort are the following: Fuse box, a box that looks like a ecu, brake res, and the intake air filters. Seeing that I thought ok.. Just mount a K&N set up directly to the unit right up under the gas tank and then either build a little box to house the ECU and Fuse box in. Outside of that, I am not seeing anything major unless of course I am missing something. Would be SO Nice to have the flexiblity of putting on and removing as needed based on weather conditions. So anyone tried this yet? Thanks, Buckey:cool10::detective:

I am trying to mount a Yeasu FT 10sr, it's an amateur radio. It consists of a control head and a box that contains the actual radio that is separated by a cable. I can not find a good spot for the box. It is about 4 inches square and 2 deep but needs room in front for the antenna connections. The cable between the two boxes is not quite long enough to go back to the trunk if I have the control head mounted high on the handle bars. I may be able to get it into the trunk by moving the control head further down the bars but was wondering if anyone knows another spot that would accommodate the box? There doesn't appear to be any room under the seat or behind each side cover. Anywhere else where there's some space?

I was reading a post about someone needing a battery support bar. I have a good one that needs only a bit of paint. I also have a spare box. JB

After finally getting back into ripping the bike apart for the 2nd gear fix, I found the previous owner removed the battery vent hose. As you can tell from the pics, I've got some paint to redo, but the biggest thing is I now need a new battery box bracket. This goes across the frame and the box sits on it. Also looking for some cleaner front pipes as these are pretty well shot, unless someone can give me an idea as to how to clean them up. Going to be a long process, as I wasn't expecting this much to do, but it's apart, and might as well get done. Also found acid corrosion on the box terminals and just about everywhere else. Gonna put new valve cover gaskets on, too! Top and front of the motor looks NASTY!!! Oh well, back to work!!!

I found a site that offers a trailer kit with 12" wheels and leaf spring suspension for $650. This price includes shipping to my home. This kit does not include the cargo box butg does have a swivel hitch. I priced the cargo box at sears for $189. This site also offers the same kit with torsion suspension for $850. My question is this---is the torsion suspension worth the $200 difference?

Talked the dealer into giving me a short windshield when I bought the RSV 06 since the one on there was a bit scratched up. They didn't have it so they left the tall one on and gave me the shorty when it came in. Never got the shorty out of the box. After some riding, and reading in forums, the part that can make the most noise (read significant other here) has said that she does not want the shorty on. Since I do not like unnecessary noises coming from the back I have decided to agree with her. (see not quite as dumb as I look after all). Any way here is the deal. If someone has a full height windshield in great shape (i.e. like new) and wants a shorty still in the box I will work a swap with them. Just PM me. The windshield I have is as follows PART#: STR-4XY02-50-00 DESC: WIDE,WINDSHIELD/LOW

Hi there, New guy here. I am looking for an 86-89 venture and have talked to one fellow about his. He said he removed the catalytic convertor. Would he be talking about the collection box do you think? Will the bike run OK without the collection box or does it need some sort of one? Looking back through older posts someone was making these....and you could still buy them from Yamaha dealers correct? Or am I out to lunch and there is a catalytic convertor? Thanks.

Anyone have any problems with cracking of the plastic of the lid after instaklling the chrome metal rack? Reason I ask is the after-market trunk box I bought for my Sabre developed cracks where each hole was drilled into the lid and this Yamaha box appears to be same material - (whether it is or not not sure). I would rather have a box with no cracks and no rack than a box with cracks and a rack!

Greetings all. Noticed that I was having trouble keeping tight, the 4 bolts that secure my top box. I'd go for a ride with or without the pillion-in-a-million and after about 30kms I'd notice that the top was 'bouncing' and I could hear a rattle. No matter how often I'd tighten the bolts, the damned things would be loose in no time. Decided to take them out and give them a dose of "Lok-tite", only to find that they had been gradually slamming themselves to death. Appears that as soon as they loosened up and the top box started to bounce, the bolts were being damaged. Have ordered new ones. In the meantime, have a look at the damage to these 3. Whadda y'all reckon?
