KIC Posted December 17, 2015 #1 Posted December 17, 2015 It's been fours since I brought this puppy home. ( Thanks FB for the Memories reminder) Been fun. Met friends. Joined PGR and Full Throttle Ministries. Lots of fun rides and help form people on this forum who I have never met in person. Have repaired a lot on the bike. Rebuilt and fixed front end, Progressive springs, new seals ( what a job that was !) Just did the rear shock and other maintenance to it "under there". Added some bling and lots of lights. The monkey, which I swore my bike would never have a stuffed animal was left over from one of my son's trips to Vegas and was laying around the garage. I put it on as a joke and my granddaughter loved it. She keeps asking for one for her dad's 86 Venture. It amazes me how many people have made a positive comment on the monkey so I have left it there for several years now. Been a fun ride on the forum, and on the streets...
Zzyzx Posted December 17, 2015 #2 Posted December 17, 2015 Way Cool KIC!!! Good looking ride. We all have a little monkey on our backs, either riding or working on motorcycles.

Besides all the good info and help, harassing you Yammer, and Puc is worth every bit of $12.00... I hope you are doing well and have a very MERRY CHRISTmas and better New year !

I'm not big on the bling but this 86 is a sweet running thing. I've tinkered a little but not a lot she just seems to want to GO!!
videoarizona Posted December 19, 2015 #10 Posted December 19, 2015 Congrats, Bill! I'm a couple years behind you but feel the same way. Love my 89! Now all I need to find is a monkey.... Grins!
