Ok I built up an additional 24 pairs of the braces and have updated the ad from post 1. The following folks who requested to be on the short list have dibs: YamaDuck, Skid, Mike Wa, Red Rider, Kite Squid, divey, jvbailey3, ruffy, FreezyRider, rdhc, Ga Thumper,. Did I miss anyone? Larry

Yep this is the one that'll fit best. Got one mounted in my trailer if it's ever needed Larry -
I've had my Stebel horn for over 3 years now and it's still working perfectly. I did put a Wolo horn on the wife's car 2 years ago and so far it's also working as it should be. But then that one is in a more protected environment. Larry

My garage is fairly small so besides the air outlet next to my upright compressor I ran a 3/8" plastic air line off a T from the compressor and ran it to the center of the garage ceiling. Then mounted a retractable reel. If I need to reach further than either hose I have a couple of 25ft extensions. Larry

Wiring was pretty staight forward with the unit I recieved. You cut the wires going to the sensor and then splice in the unit. Half of the wires go to the speedo and other half to the sensor. Don't recall if there was a brand name on the unit. Larry

Jonesy you could do what I did with the mufflers. I cut out a 5 1/2" section to shorten them. Cut them at the seam up front, another cut 5 1/2" forward and then welded them back together. They look and sound great. Slightly louder than stock but quiter than RK's. They stick out about 4 - 4 1/2" past the body this way. After welding them I painted the weld with some silver metalic paint I had on hand. Looks like original and hasn't rusted in the two years it's been done. Larry

I just ran into this issue after replacing my pc desktop which came with Windows7. After trying a couple programs I installed this one -- http://www.irfanview.com/ Best of all it's free and will work with any Windows program as far as I know. Also I just posted up this topic and the guys had plenty of info on pic resizer programs -- http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46324 Larry

If you live that long. Hahahaha Seriously once you got the hang of the process I think you'd have a ready market amongst these folks here for all of that safety chrome everyone loves to have. I bet you'd not only recoup your equipment and material investment, the silicone backrests would be forthcoming as well. Good luck, Larry

No it won't defeat the crash bars purpose as they'll still bend back and fold up the footrests. I speak from experience here, unfortunately . What happens without the braces is the crash bar would fold closer to the engine. The braces cause them to fold more in the middle. Even then when I went down the braces still got bent so it's not like they're totally rigid. These braces will do more good IMO to saving the lowers from flexing when using footrests and cracking them. Also I like have the footrests staying firm rather then moving when I put preassure on them. Like when stretching sometimes. Larry

pic resizing programs
Carbon_One replied to Carbon_One's topic in Computer help and tips for using this site.
I'll try this one for a while. Looks simple and easy enough to use. And ya it works good on Windows 7. Thanks guys. Larry -
Anyone know of a free pic resizing program for Windows 7? Can those used in XP & Vista be used on Windows 7? Larry
-
I'll deffinately be building more then just 6 sets as I did earlier. I'll post back here and on an ad when they're ready again. Larry
-
Well folks looks like I'll need to build up a few more of these braces. I sold the 6 listed within about a 3 hr time period. Wow. Thanks for the response guys. Larry
-
Nothing wrong with your eyes yet Patrick. There is a slight bend in the right side as it looked in the pics. I did that to better clear where it passes over the footrest bracket.
-
Good question and one I hadn't mentioned yet. Brain fart!!!You'll need to purchase a set of clamps for 1" crash bars and with a 1/2" hole. I'll post an edited update on my original post after sending this. Larry
-
Yep these are 2nd gen items. If you want a set you gotta get the bike first. Sorry couldn't resist. Larry
-
Price includes shipping. Not having any shipped these yet I won't actually know just how much shipping actually costs. I'm hoping to leave the price as is thou it may go up for future orders or maybe even down a bit. time will tell there. Thanks to those of you have bought a set so far. Oh did you downsize those pics Don.? If so thanks there too. I just finished getting a new desktop online so still sorting thru stuff on it. Larry

Due to several request to make crash bar braces I've built a limited number of them. Currently there's 6 of them listed in the classifieds but if there's enough demand I'll build more. I built these a bit different than the ones I did in a post 3 years ago. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6069&highlight=crash+supports Simplier and stronger. Here's a link to my ad -- http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2692 Please note that you'll also have to purchase a set of clamps for the crash bars. There are two types to choose from. These from are the best -- http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go/Home.ProductDetail/catID/18/scID/121/IMID/531 #1002 or from Dennis Kirk -- http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=494431&store=&catId=&productId=p494431&leafCatId=&mmyId or a 3piece type -- http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=406929&store=&catId=&productId=p406928&leafCatId=&mmyId= or http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=406933&store=&catId=&productId=p406932&leafCatId=&mmyId= I have found both types being sold at e-bay with decent prices in the past as well. Larry Note: The first two pics show the braces and clamps on my bike. The ones I have listed are a bit different at the clamp end but will still do the same job.

Looks like you're making some progress there. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Yea the lights look great there too. Did the lights mouting area come like that or did you build up that area for them? Larry
-
Good to hear she's improving so well. Might do better if you did more for her thou? See you both at Don's MD. Larry
-
Gets addictive don't it ? Nice trailer and great job finishing it up to match the scoot. Larry
-
Been thinking of you guys lately and was hoping to hear this kind of news. While the pay may not be on par with what you've been used to it can lead to others perhaps. Know as others here how not having income can wear on a fellows mind as I was out of work for over a year myself. Congratulations on the job and Thanks to those who helped you along the way. As Don said I hope others without employment will get that call to return to a job too. Larry

Yea sure bribe him any ole way to see him again. You forget he's still snow bound for a while thou. Larry

Who uses Speedbleeders. Do they work well?
Carbon_One replied to Midnight's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I have them on my bike and they work great. Makes flushing out old fluid and bleeding the lines a easy 1 man operation. Larry
