I just inherited my dad's 2000 Yamaha Royal Star Venture. My dad is Tom 440. He's still alive, don't worry he just gave me the bike for early an inheritance.

Thank you! We put some primer on the fenders today:

Enjoyed watching these videos. You guys are doing some amazing work!

Sounds like the making of a little class action suit... failing to support a product you know is glitchy... just saying.

Unfortunately solutions to problems such as these is to get a sufficiently large enough group of folks together who have painstakingly documented extremely similar issues and then present this to the manufacturer as a group... having a couple of seeming high-powered attorneys do the presentation is also usually required to solve such issues.

Some parts have been sand blasted and powder coated:

I'd be checking out the tire to see if it has flattened out in the middle. We ride 2 up mostly and that sets the weight over your weight and we have no problems. Front at 36 and rear at 40. I had my front up to 40 once, but then I met up with a good side gust of wind and found myself in the wrong lane,,, that was tooooo scary.
