Steveroge Posted October 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2011 I got this bike (83 Venture) about 6 months ago and ever since I have been hunting a very loud annoying whistle in the fairing. I have moved duct tape from this vent to that port over the chrome strip under the windshield but could never find it. this last Friday coming home from a ride I went to shift and as I moved my hand over the clutch lever the sound changed, so I kept moving my hand around that area until I found it. there is a hole on the under side of the ball end of the clutch lever. once I covered the hole half of the noise went away so I covered the brake lever hole also and SILENCE IS GOLDEN GOLDEN. It sounded so good not to hear that noise (in stereo) I had to take a 350 mile round trip on Saturday to watch one of my grandsons play football. I almost turned my wife into a Popsicle. We didn't get headed back for home until after dark and the temp dropped to 40. But there was no whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted October 31, 2011 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2011 Wow! Never heard of that one before but I understand the principle, just like blowing across a bottle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
