I'm looking for a good service manual. I've found clymer and the factory one. What one would be more practical for home use. I'm not going to tear my venture down and rebuild it, just do the basic stuff. I'm also adding some LED lights to it and maybe a louder horn. Maybe a running light kit also..

Hi all. Just installed the Chrome Glow turn signal lights last week and they work/look great so I ordered the tail light. Installed it tonight and it looks great. So here is the problem. I tighten down the lens cover to finish up and then turned the key thats when I had no lights and the horn is blowing. What gives?? I then took out the LED and put back the stock bulb..samething! I have a trip planed to Vermont this weekend and it would be a long trip with out lights and listening to the horn(LOL) Any Ideas??? Thanks. Bill

Something I don't understand. I have a mini-mag light, and put the conversion kit on it to make it a LED flashlight. Powered by 2-AA batteries. Man, that makes some light. Has 3 LED bulbs in it. How come can I not get that brightness from LED lights on the back of the bike?

I am on my 30 day ride thru the New England states right now. The wife joined me by flying in and renting a car. She followed me to Bar Harbor for a few days then followed me to Camden where we're staying. She leaves today and I'll resume riding. A few months ago I added a new LED light strip on the back of the bike as well as some other goodies. This strip has three lights that stay on full time and about 5 others light up very bright when I apply the brakes. During bothe times the wife has followed me it has been very sunny. She said that she often cannot even see the stock brake light but the new strip is very visible, even in the sun. She thinks I need to fix that right away but she also knows the LED provides good protection/warning. Just an FYI in case anyone was thinking of adding any lights back there. DO IT.

I purchased the Baron's mini-bullet tach (BA-7573-00) with brake resivoir mount kit a couple weeks ago. This model has white LED backlighting only. The instructions were universal and pretty much pertained to HD intall. After e-mailing John and getting pertinant instructions (not found in the supplied paper work) I was on my way. There is a tech article here in VR on the installation, BUT there are a couple changes! The blue wire from the sigle fire ignition adaptor runs all the way to the rear coil's (either one) negative side. The black wire from the tach cannot be grounded to the coil bolt but another frame ground. After installation, the LED back light flickered randomly and the tach needle would fluctuate randomly. There seemed no correlation between the two. I regrounded the tach wire but no improvement. My next step will be to remove the red (tach power) and yellow (LED power) tach wires from the positive terminal of the front coil and connect to a switched 12V source. John's only other suggestion, if this failed, is to install a resistor. Any of you weekend mechanics or better yet a seasoned mechanic have any ideas? Within the last month I had a complete tune-up including carb sync.

Someone at work pointed this out to me today. Wireless LED helmet mount brake lights. I suppose it could also be used on a removable trunk for those with a RS Tour Deluxe. http://www.atlantispowersports.com/wirelesshelmetlight.htm

I was roaming through the Custom Dynamics (www.customdynamics.com) site and noticed that they have a new tail light board. It's a drop in like the one that many of us already use, BUT, it has 100 LEDs instead of the current 32. The 32 LED board is really bright compared to the old bulb, so I can only imagine what the new one looks like. At $90 US it's kinda pricey, but well worth it if that is the only light you are using as a brake light. Just my sick, twisted, unsolicited opinion...

Just finished a small project to add 5-light amber LED pods to the front fork reflectors as side marker lights. My biggest concern was to hide the wires running up along the brake lines. For $11, I think I solved it: I started with two Radiantz Top FX LED pods (amber, with black housing). For $8.99 each, with a 3' shrink-wrapped wire pigtail they were perfect. So not to crack the reflector, I drilled progressively larger holes until I ended up with one just big enough to feed the wires through (photo 1). The LED pods come with 3M mounting tape that I stuck right to the reflector. Bought some 5/8" black vinyl tubing from Home Depot for $11- the down side was that it is only sold in a 20ft roll (photo 2). This is the stuff commonly used in ponds and fountains, so you might have some luck finding it somewhere where you can buy the 2.5ft that you need. Oh well, so I have extra now. Cut two pieces of tubing, each the length of each brake line, then slit it down the back with an exacto knife. This allowed me to slide it over the brake line and my newly run wiring (photo 3). Once I had the tubing over the entire length of the brake line -- it was a little tight getting it through the guide brackets, but it fit -- I used a small black zip-tie at the top and bottom on each side to hold it snug (photo 4). This left me with a clean looking finished product (photo 5). I took the wires up under the fairing and soldered the hot (yellow) wires into the positive terminal at the back of the conector plug for the accessory outlet. I then soldered the ground (black) wires into the ground terminal at the same plug (photo 6). Now the LEDs come on in the "Accessory" key position. The finished product throws a decent amount of light and looks unobtrusive -- at least to me (photo 7).

I was out at Leesburgh biker event this past weekend, and Custom Dynamic's was there as always with their trailer set up. I bought their LED Night Riderz RUN/BRAKE strip, which I have to say, when I saw it, it was extremely bright, and for $26.00 bucks, I had to try it. It took less then 15 min to install, and looks awesome ! It has a LED light that goes back and forth like Night Rider in RUN mode, and when you hit the brake, it flashes 5 times, before staying lite. I mounted mine right under the license plate, on the reflector, and it is perfect. I'm next going to buy their light bar for under the trunk. Here's the link to their LED strip I just bought, when you open the page, its the first set of 3 videos on top, and the first one to the left, to see a demo. Custom Dynamics did it again! http://www.customdynamics.com/knight_rider_led_light_bar.htm -
Under those saddlebags.. Where did you get them and about how much are they? they look like THE rear lights to have.

Looking for any links for LED brake lights and turn signals for a 2006 Royal Star Tour Deluxe. I am also looking for tail light covers besides the standard billett one that gets taped on.

Just got some led accent light. Six small srtips of 5 or 6 lights per strip. 1. is it best to put them on their own on/off switch or jsut wire them into the running lights? 2. wire them up in parrallel or series (after an inline fuse of course)? For under the trunk, I was just going to tie 2 of them into the led tail light. Then 2 under the tank, one just above the radiator and maybe the last under the seat above the side covers.

OK...Finally got a chance to get a short video of the new LED tail light and other LEDs installed from Custom Dynamics. Also added a strobe unit to strobe all LEDs on the back end. Movie is not that good but I think you will get the effect. That LED tail light is so bright when you watch it strobe...you look away and see red spots [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QooBZjPbB78&feature=channel_page]YouTube - Venture Strobe[/ame]

Been laid off for a couple weeks so I decided to put new lights on trailer. Hope to be seen now the original lights are so dull and LED is the way to go they are bright. I thought that upper light bar would really help. Put new license plate lights in and pulled the wire out on one need to replace that. Now all I need is warm weather.

Well I finally got my rear LED turn signals done. Now I got to get started with the front turn signals. Each rear turn signal has 20 ultra high flux LED's in them. The front signals will have about 25 of the same LED's in them. The rear stop/tail light will have 72 LED's in it. And so far there are 8 rear, 4 front, and 2 LED marker lights. That makes 176 LED's total. I attached a couple quick videos. One of the finished LED circuit board and another with the circuit board installed in the turn signal housing. I'll keep ya posted when I get the frond signals done and get all of them on the bike. -

Taillight Bulb instead of an led board? I am considering one but I am not sure what number the bulb is ie. 1156, 1157 or if they are a total different kind of number. Also I have seen some LED bulbs that have a 90 degree bend so the light is reflected on the lens and the kind that look almost like a regular automotive bulb only with led's. HELP!!!!!!!! NOT SURE WHAT KIND TO BUY. Thanks in advance, Big Mike

I ordered a new 14 x 11 inch Seat pad with the " Viscoelastic molded Gell insert " as used in medical and sports applications From: http://www.amspecialtiesusa.com/gelpad.htm This is not the old standard, " Gel " material. Should be here tomorrow, and will get to testing it, and post the results. They also sell 3/4 inch Slabs of the material, for $56, if you want to redo your own seat !! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also: Another project started, ----- I ordered from www.superbrightleds.com -- ----- 2 of their LED packs. 36 bulb, 1 1/2 inch , flat , square 1157 Replacement Bulb units. P/N 1157-PCB-R36 Red Led Lamp, narrow beam, $9.95 each. On my 89, I am going to try to mount them INSIDE, the Center Reflector section, just to the left and right of the Rear Turn Signals. I will wire, Both Sections of the new 1157, To the Brake Lights. This will give me 2extra brake lights, they should be Bright. I'm not sure yet if this will work, but will give it a try. I allready put LED 1157 Replacement bulbs in the OEM Tail light, They seem to work OK, I got those bulbs at local Shucks auto parts. All this if anybody is interested, otherwise have a Beer !!

Well I've been watching pull behind Motorcycle Trailers on Ebay for some time. Every once and awhile I would show my wife one I thought was nice to get her opinion. Without saying a word she bought me one last night. I had pretty much I would just get a large piggy backer, but she ending up getting me an all Diamond plate with 18 cubic feet of capacity, chrome wheels, torsion axle, carpeted interior and LED lights. It only weighs 190 empty. I am stoked and realize just how lucky I am. (Mini & Cindy she even can stand me Nekid:rotf:) Can't wait to for it to be delivered. COME ON SPRING!!!
