have the results he was hoping for. Eileen giggled and said "just because you bought me all those all those beautiful Harley Davidson clothes for Christmas does not mean that the reflexes you had before you bought your Harley have returned". Then she nailed 3rd gear to show Mr. Bird what he was

While I am certainly no expert and I do HIGHLY suggest that you check back to this post and see if one of our much more knowledgeable mechanics gets involved with answering your question (I KNOW I will be watching too - I LOVE to learn:big-grin-emoticon:) I am gonna guess somewhere around 125 CFM should be good. I am thinking maybe a little larger if you are planning on keeping her spun up in the R's and looking for some extra on top, maybe a little less if your planning on low R torque. I also know the V-max 1200's "v-boost" is actually a device that turns 2 carbs into 1 (increasing CFM) BUT, they also do so at high r's (above 6500 with a peek horse at 9500 - much higher than the normal Venture - different cams and valving and all that make it necessary). For a stock 1st Gen - my GUESS would be that 125 CFM would do ya. I LOVE your question and LOVE where your headed - have always about doing exactly what your up to but just never shut my bike off long enough to play with it to that extent. By the way, to VR FL and all the best in what sounds like a VERY interesting project!! Please keep us informed about your project and any 's would be greatly appreciated! Puc

WOW Dodger,, that Dart was beautiful - sorry it was the one that had go my friend BUT I TOTALLY get where your coming from! THANK YOU for sharing the amazing story about you, your Dad and the love you two shared for restoring cars = BEAUTIFUL!! One of the wonderful things about all of it is that no matter what happens in life (like having to make tough choices like you did) the memories of the time spent with your Father can never be removed = what its all about my friend!! You two did nice work, it was an HONOR getting to see the pic of the car and getting to read your story! :clap2::thumbsup: THANK YOU Puc

Had a hard time clickin on the ol "like" button on that one brother = A YEAR?? But in the end I had to cause it sounds like you are on your way to being able to get around without so much pain being involved Now wiggle those sausages and do your exercises ya lop eared varmint - maybe you can trim some of those 365 days back a little:fingers-crossed-emo PS, have no worry about the White Washer,, got er lubed up with brine for ya while you were sleeping at the Veterinarian's office - should be all set when ya try to fire the infamous thing up in November of 16!!

GOOD ON YA Z!! :clap2::dancefool::dancefool::thumbsup::thumbsup: That right there is what I am talking about brother!! Glad you got er done and THANK YOU for posting this up!! One never knows when one may encounter such a malady - makes one wonder if your conclusion might oughta should go into the 1st Gen Tech library so if another lop eared VR varmint did encounter such a thing the answer would be easily found:178: @Freebird, @Eck, @Marcarl = what do you think? Either way Z,,, CONGRATS on another JOB WELL DONE!!

Wayy cool and MERRY CHRISTMAS to the Nelson's!! Glad the two of you took the time to have such a wonderful time together Don, THAT is really neat!! Concerning the "drinking of the cool-aid",,, OH HECK NO!! I happen to know for a FACT that Harley Davidson has the BEST OF THE BEST when it comes to accessories - be it clothing or whatever, THEY GOT AWESOME STUFF!! ,, now if you had said you bought her a new Soft Tail Slim to try and lure her away from her steadfast thinking about how much better a Yamaha MOTORCYCLE is than a Harley,, then yea,, I may be one of those lop eareds wondering if you had been sipping the cool-aid.. You did GREAT Boss! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Oh,, one thing though before I forget,,

You da man @Yammer Dan!! Actually I KNEW one of you lop eared varmints had to have been there done that at sometime or another - it was just a matter of time before ya responded!! Thats what I LOVE about this place, collectively there seems to be NOTHING on these scoots that has not been dismantled and rebuilt at some time or another - GOOD LORD I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Hey Dan, bumped into this thread (click here ya lop eared varmint = http://www.venturerider.org/brakes/ ) while searching for an answer for Zzzz. Wondered if our buddy Rick may be onto some of the reason for your accident last spring.. Take a peek and see what ya think.. By the way, EXCELLENT piece of work @Rick Butler :clap2:

8,000 DOLLAR SALES TAX:scared:!! HOLY LETS BALANCE THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET BY SELLING ONE CAR BATMAN!! If he were my son I would let him put it in my name and just pay the Michigan taxes on it. I may even let him drive it when he came to visit on the weekends if I were home!!

just to see if he still had the reflexes necessary to handle such horsepower.. Eileen shook her head in a

BUT,, what if what we want IS what we need

I knew there was more to the story about how Jeff injured his ankle than we were being told!!!

You bet Zz, wish I could be more help. Looking forward to hearing about what you find!

There are numerous picture police (aka = ) running around this place and the meter is now running on the pics of the dog:witch_brew:

Sorry to hear that Zzz, was hoping this would be an easier one - ratss. IMHO, next step would be to follow Carls advice and check the line itself. Seems we are chasing the problem right back to answering your question concerning the proportioning valve itself. In answering that question of whether or not it could be the valve, indeed it seems very possible that the valve is plugged and is the source of your issue. I have never had an issue with that valve (knock on wood) so I have no idea whether or not it can be taken apart and cleaned - if it were mine though I would at least give it shot before looking for a replacement valve BUT - check the line as Carl mentions first and we will :fingers-crossed-emoits just a plugged line!!

You try bleeding from the banjo at the rear caliper Zzz? I would start there just to make sure I wasnt messing with a plugged orvice in the caliper first..

Speaking about being a revenge filled varmint full of nasty pay back ideas that will ultimately change the driving habits of people who inhabit planet earth and whose little children will cry because the cows who normally provided ample amounts of milk for their morning cereal froze while trying to get back into their milking sheds and even the families who grew worms for fishermen suffered because their worms could not figure out how to dig their way out of 5 mile deep snow,,,,,,,, how ya coming on the formula for the snow that wont melt until it reaches 60 degrees? Hopefully my investment dollars are safe:fingers-crossed-emo Your FRIEND Puc

Check out the time difference between my post and Jeff's = 2 minutes exactly = you did REAL good Kat :clap2: Might wanna consider going out to your new car and snapping a selfie and sticking on here,, one of these lop eared varmint 's may start with the "no pics = it didnt happen" routine or something. Nasty bunch of lop eared's those are!! :lightbulb:I betcha short selfie video of yourself sitting behind the wheel of your new car singing "little deuce coupe" would blow those lop eared varmints right out of the water:big-grin-emoticon:

MERRY CHRISTMAS and Congrats Kat!:ice_congrats-vi6886!:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644 Make sure you give that Storm Raven a big :bighug:for us and tell him we sent him a too!! Also, GREAT job on covering your tracks on the pics young lady,, may just keep the happy for a minute or two

And right back at cha Randy!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours my friend!! Looking forward to the summer of '16 when we shall ride again brother!!

Awe,, thanks Larry:thumbsup:!! Gotta say though,, my personal very very favorite Christmas story of all times is the story behind Christmas itself - sure is fun remembering things that happened along lifes journey though!!

Havent seen the movie yet so I cant say but here is a pic of one of my favorite famous lop eared varmints chasing down a Syth Lord who is attempting to escape on an orange Harley - good luck with that ya lop eared varmint Syth).. Also included a pic of Tippy interviewing that same lop eared varmint after the Syth was caught - also notice her telling the lop eared varmint how surprised she was that her non-varmint knight in shining armor husband and the lop eared varmint she is speaking to could eat a gravy covered plate of french fries as big as the circle she is making with her hands - the look of "nahhhh" on his lop eared face is priceless!! Hope this suffices until I get a chance to see the new Stars Wars and return with a full report of any lop eared varmints therein..

Indeed, home RJ:group cheers: and a huge THANK YOU for doing your part in maintaining our way of life my friend. Hopefully everyone living in one of Earths country's where freedom still shines realizes how thankful we should be for individuals like yourself - I know I sure am:uk2:!! Hearing about the loss of some of your family members and brothers in arms while you were gone deeply saddens my heart, wish there was something other that telling you that you have my condolences that I could do. Hoping and praying that knowing you have my/our thoughts and prayers while you work through the grieving process now that your back home will help in some small way. Looking forward to chatting with you here on the forum my friend, oh, what the heck,, may as well get your return to your family here started off right,, looking forward to chatting with you ya lop eared varmint ! If ya need any advice on your scoot, count me in as one more than happy to help:thumbsup:! Also look forward to meeting up with you at a rally or two as soon as our resident Fool stops playing with his infamous Wisconsin White Washer and summers warm sun makes riding doable again. Matter of fact, we would be honored to have you shoot up to Michigan and enjoy one of "Puc's Greet - Meet and Eat Meats" with us. All the best Hot Dogs you can eat - combined with all kinds of smiling faces of the greatest bunch of other lop eared varmints known to man will make the journey well worth your time - guaranteed:thumbsup:!! Bring your lovely bride along too RJ, she will be well fed and find LOTS of fellow lady friends that will help her keep her sanity while us men folk make a valiant attempt at driving each deeper into lop eared varmint land!! Great to hear from you! Puc

THANKS Karaboo!! So Boo,, in your opinion how did it stack up compared to the other episodes? Is this one your new favorite or did it not quite make the cut?

I would keep an eye on Craigslist Larry, I am sure you can find one fairly reasonable, maybe do a country wide search thru a site like adhuntr.com . I know I passed on one in Indiana a couple years ago that came with a a non running 1st Gen attached to it for $1200. Seems like even an older Ural hack would work nicely for what your talking about. Thinking the biggy would be finding the proper hardware and setting it up properly.. Seems like @Carbon_One has or had one he was working on setting up a while back - maybe see if he responds here or PM him and pick his brain a little about it all.. Oh, wait a second here,, just read above where you talked about having the dog on your tank at one time,, thinking you are talking about side hackin out a Gen 2? I am thinking Carbon One was working on a 1st Gen,, may or may not be able to help but we shall see..
