Freebird Posted July 25, 2013 #1 Posted July 25, 2013 Looking like I'll have the Road Glide ready to head to Galena. Luggage rack, highway pegs, backrest, saddle bag guards, passenger grab rails, Bushtec hitch and trailer wiring....all done.
Freebird Posted July 25, 2013 Author #2 Posted July 25, 2013 Now I'm just hoping that the headset cords get here tomorrow.
dave_wells Posted July 25, 2013 #3 Posted July 25, 2013 If I knew you were taking the Harley I would have made other plans Don't be slowing us down now Messing with ya I cant wait to see it and we are looking forward to ridding out with you all
The Tooch Posted July 25, 2013 #4 Posted July 25, 2013 The flag is the best part:whistling: Really looks awesome!

I need to keep it under around 3000 RPM so that limits us to about 80 MPH. By the time we head back, I should be past the break in period though.
dave_wells Posted July 25, 2013 #6 Posted July 25, 2013 That would put you in .... Breakdown period perhaps
IronMike Posted July 25, 2013 #7 Posted July 25, 2013 Man it's starting to look like a Venture! Grab Bars and all!
bongobobny Posted July 25, 2013 #9 Posted July 25, 2013 What route are you taking Don, just in case something falls off or you break down...
SilvrT Posted July 25, 2013 #10 Posted July 25, 2013 Don't forget to take a jar of vaseline with ya ... in case it rains (yes there's a joke but maybe a bit too risque` for here lol)
XV1100SE Posted July 26, 2013 #11 Posted July 26, 2013 You didn't transfer over the clown noses from the RSV ! Your ride isn't complete with out reminders of all us clowns !
dacheedah Posted July 26, 2013 #12 Posted July 26, 2013 ordered cord from edsets tuesday am mine came today
BigLenny Posted July 26, 2013 #13 Posted July 26, 2013 Don, just a thought. Doesn't pulling a trailer void the warranty on that beautiful new ride? Might wanna hide that trailer hitch if you hafta take it in for service. Congrats. It's beautiful.
Huggy Posted July 26, 2013 #14 Posted July 26, 2013 Don, just a thought. Doesn't pulling a trailer void the warranty on that beautiful new ride? Might wanna hide that trailer hitch if you hafta take it in for service. Congrats. It's beautiful. According to my brother, the Harley Freak, towing a trailer with a Harley is a BIG NO NO!!! He even had a fit when I told him my VR came with a hitch!
Freebird Posted July 26, 2013 Author #15 Posted July 26, 2013 My Edset cords came yesterday so I'm OK now. As for pulling a trailer? It's pretty much the same as the Venture. Yamaha really doesn't recommend pulling a trailer either but some dealers look the other way. Harley is the same way. I talked to the dealer about it yesterday when I picked up the saddle bag guards. He told me that they are pretty lenient about such things. Not to worry.
Eddie Posted July 26, 2013 #16 Posted July 26, 2013 Looks great Don, I need to get some of those passenger grab bars.
Brown Angel Posted July 26, 2013 #17 Posted July 26, 2013 I will miss all you guys ! Was trying everything to go but job is new and can't get time off. Have fun and know we are blessed to have such good friends here...

Wonder if they are "lenient" like Honda is...they are lenient until you request any warranty service that they can possibly attribute to the miniscule possibility of pulling a trailer. Then they try to wiggle out of it using that excuse.
mini-muffin Posted July 26, 2013 #19 Posted July 26, 2013 That's not a problem take the hitch off before you go. They never need to know. Margaret

mini-muffin Posted July 26, 2013 #21 Posted July 26, 2013 Hey Don I've been watching other Harley's that we pass and thought you might want to let Eileen in on something. Seems that the waving is the passengers job on a Harley. I'm making the assumption that this is due to the fear of taking ones hand off the handlebars. I know I'm in the corner now. It's ok we've decided to renovate the corner since it's getting so crowded. It's gonna be really nice in the corner now folks. Be more like a party room. Margaret

YamaDuck Posted July 26, 2013 #24 Posted July 26, 2013 Hey Don you can take the badges off the gas tank and put Venture badges on. Then it will not look so strange that the owner of a Venture forum is riding a Harley. Maybe you could rename the VentureRiders to YamaDavidson. Srs it is a nice looking Harley. I learned Srs (serious) from my sons Facebook remarls. I like that model a lot.
Yammer Dan Posted July 27, 2013 #25 Posted July 27, 2013 It is a nice looking ride. Didn't know it was going to be the end of my corner...
