Stratcat Posted April 13, 2008 #1 Posted April 13, 2008 After several beautiful 70 deg plus days, it has decided to go back down in tbne 40's mist rain and generally be rotten. So in my broedom of this raining Sunday I thought I would review the progress made so far in the first month of Venture Ownership and take some updated pictures. First and foremost is this site!! Tons of great ideas, dramtiacally shortened the learning curve on ins and outs of my new bike, plus nmade some great new friends! Also I have started down the path of spending tons of money on accessories just for the fun of it, thank god I have a wife that thinks like me Anyway here is what I came up with and some updated pics, nothing fancy but I am having SOME fun:sign woo hoo: Updates so far......... Carb Sync Rear Hub Assembly Re-greased and Shimmed Change over to Synthetic Oils Yamaha Chrome Choke Knob Baron's Nasty Boys 4-2-4 Pipes Baron's Extreme Slash Tips Yamaha Passing Lamps Yamaha Light Visors all around Yamaha Chrome Oil Fill Plug Yamaha Chrome Star Trunk Rack Yamaha Star Billet License Plate Frame AIS Plugged R-Mark Quick Saddlebag Removal System Here are some pics, also one of Deb's bike taken last weekend with her winter add on's down by the river. As I have said I'm a lucky man to have a wife that understands the passion. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/stratocurtster/Rebel%20XTI/Venture/leftsidedistance.jpg http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/stratocurtster/Rebel%20XTI/Venture/pipes.jpg http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/stratocurtster/Rebel%20XTI/Venture/rightside.jpg http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/stratocurtster/Rebel%20XTI/Venture/Reardownhill.jpg http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/stratocurtster/Rebel%20XTI/Venture/debs.jpg Anyway, hope I haven't bored ya to bad, soemthing to do on a rainy Sunday!
Squidley Posted April 13, 2008 #2 Posted April 13, 2008 Never a bore to see pics of a beautiful scoot, good to hear that the site is helping you out. The more money you save with good advise, the more chrome or fuel you get to put in the bike
BEER30 Posted April 13, 2008 #3 Posted April 13, 2008 Great looking scoots ! Pic's always fascinating to view . Boring is not seeing other members posting pic's , which reminds me to post some of mine here real soon . BEER30
pegscraper Posted April 13, 2008 #4 Posted April 13, 2008 Yup, looks like you found the tech pages alright. Nice work. There's nothing boring about looking at other's bikes. There's not much else to do today anyway, other than plan more mods, which is what I'm doing. It's drizzling and cold here too. My mods are usually aimed at more power. I hope to meet you at Dons' maintenance day.
MikeM8560 Posted April 13, 2008 #5 Posted April 13, 2008 Great looking scoots. we got a cold snap com ein this afternoon here ,but that looks like ice in the last pic
juggler Posted April 13, 2008 #6 Posted April 13, 2008 Those 4-2-4's look really great. Are they really loud?
Stratcat Posted April 13, 2008 Author #7 Posted April 13, 2008 Those 4-2-4's look really great. Are they really loud? A subjective answer but, at idle they have a mean low rumble, but they bark when you get into them! Deb says they sound like a mean hopped up Chevy more that a motorcycle. Personally I love em! I'll try and put a little video sound clip of em up in the next few days if I get time.
