Thankful member

[sallys dad]

I'm a relatively new member and Venture owner, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here. Over the past week I did some winter projects on the Venture that include: passing lamp install using Freebird's wiring diagram for the relay and Tony Dathan's spacer, an auxillary fuse panel behind the battery like several members suggested, Goose's carb heater switch, Goose's fix for the broken windshield bracket tabs (yes, broken tabs with only 3400 miles), and CarbonOne's bracing for the front crash guards. All of your postings on these issues saved me lots and lots of time and money, and for this I am thankful. In addition ... I am thankful that today I got to ride for a couple of hours! It was mostly sunny, upper 30s, 5-10 mph wind ... awesome!!

A 2009 shouldn't you just turned this over to warranty ?

Every once in a while sombody gets something right. Don't know if i've made it yet but I keep on trying!!

where in KS are you?

[sallys dad]

I live in northeast Kansas about 15 miles from Topeka. Regarding the previous comment on warranty, I saw no reason to have the entire inner fairing replaced with a new one with tabs for the windshield bracket that would soon just break again. Additionally, the couple of hours it took to make the brackets was a lot less time wasted than taking it to the dealer. Art

Well can't argue with that logic. Glad you found everything you needed. Now you need to make some plans to make some events so you can meet some of these family members. Oh and when you do meet any of us just remember normal is relative. :whistling:You'll understand that after you meet some of us in person.
