He's a slacker now that he don't work no more. Gettn real soft he is. Bet we hear a bunch of come spring he ain't got the bike done yet. Nor the garage either. Larry

Hmm Texas has more then twice the population of Michigan. I think I'll look for another state to move to if or when I'm ready
-
Got mine today. Looks great & fits perfect too. Larry

That's a pretty good descricption there Carl. Another possible reason for a vacuum gauge would be to monitor the vacuum for a cruise control resvoir. I've installed several AudioVox units on other make bikes and they all needed a tank to hold the vacuum. Never did put a gauge on one thou. Larry

Quote: I need to find a good spacer I like to make up the difference between the Wolo and Stebel Horn. Also, Carbon One, in the instructions, you state to remove the OEM horn bracket, but mine is a welded bracket to the frame. I am not going to remove the bracket, especially since I do not have a grinder or torch. No need for cutting tools or torches folks. The bracket I refer to is the one that bolts to the frame and the horn itself. When removed you'll still have the two tabs welded to the frame. Those are left as is and will clear the Stebel horn easly. Larry

My vote went to #3 as well. I like the emblem either centered or up higher as Squidely says. Nice project you have going here Jeff. It's going to really look sharp when done. Larry

Ruffy shut it down when the law appeared. Maybe the party started back up after I left? Larry

I thought all this whinning was coming from the folks in the south!!! Nothing like having a pity party. Larry

Glad to hear you guys are liking the harness and horn bracket. And the bracket isn't chromed but highly polished stainless steel. minor detail there but same results. Shinny Color01 if you add in a 1/2" spacer of some sort you'll be able to use the SS bracket. Sorry about forgetting to put those fuses in with the harness guys. You shouldn't need one over 20 amp thou. A 15 amp works unless you lay on the button a bit too long, then it'll blow. Since I've used a 20 amp fuse I've never had another problem with horn fuses.

You can blame Squidely for all that. Texas never seen so much snow & cold till he moved there . Only good thing is you'll still be riding before some of us northern folks. Larry

We finally have gotten a normal snow storm last night here. 10" of it total. Roads are clear and wet since plows have done their job. Our last storm was a no show and even that wasn't supposed to go over a couple inches. So we had clear ground till yesterday. You southern folks need all this snow and rain just to refill the rivers and lakes. Touring though some southern states last summer really showed how little wayter was left in them. Larry

That 03 is one of my top favorite colors on the RSV's. Larry

Ok so someone has more money then they know what to do with. What I enjoyed most was spending time looking thru Leno garage, his collections, the garage itself, etc. Larry

Baron Tach and Ponch's gauge set
Carbon_One replied to Sideoftheroad's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I was in Harbor Freight today and see they carry a 2" tach. Also you can get the same design in water temp, oil, & amp gauges. They come with a silver bezel, red needle, and black face. Lighting is green led. Each cost $20. They also carry the 1 1/2" three gauge assemblies. Black faced with a chrome plate holder. Those were $20 too. Larry -
Disassembling Front Forks
Carbon_One replied to dingy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I helped Squidley rebuild a set 3-4 years ago using standard shop tools. Can't remember all the details but I'm sure someone will come along with that info soon. Larry -
Great game. Either team could of won up until Manning threw that interception that gave Saints a huge lead. Larry

I have a used Show Chrome billet license plate frame with turn signal lenses on the sides and a red led light on top that can be used either as a running light or 3rd brake light. http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?Category_ID=110&manufacturer_ID=66&product_ID=7589&sblid_name=Show_Chrome_Accessories__Big_Bike_Parts__LED_License_Plate_Holder&model_id=0 I took it off my trike and am going with a different style now. Interested? Drop me an pm or e-mail. Pics of it can be seen in my profile pics. Larry

Gee whiz Wanderer we have nothing like that in south east Michigan. Bare ground here but windy and 22* temps. You only consolation is that it'll be all gone sooner than we'll be done with cold winter here. I do feel your pain thou. Larry
-
I've never seen one like that before either. Like Don says it may be a custom one up or a small company with either low production or out of business. It being in the UK maybe one of our members over there can shed some light on it? Larry
-
Wishing Don a successful operation. I' ll pray for you too Pat since I know he'll be a pain in the you know what till he's healed. Hide his keys too so he won't be tempted to get on the bike too soon. Let's see two months huh? Since only you will have the keys you might as well learn to ride the bike. Good luck. Larry

9:50 pm no one there
-
Only traces of snow on the ground here. Only flurries at the momnet & 30* , But we're excepted to get 1-3 inches by tomorrow. All the heavy stuff is hitting about 40 miles south of me around Toledo, Ohio and south of that. Larry

payment sent Larry

Looking like you're getting all the bases covered pretty good there Bob. I use a 5 x 10 landscaper trailer with steel mesh ramp and my trike just fits in nicely. I also use the Harbor Freight wheel chock. No problems whatever there. Bet the anticipation is going to about kill ya till you get that sweet ride home. Larry
