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

keeping her in my thoughts. Hope she's doing better today. larry

Before I did anything the shop manager would know what was done to the bike. Then I'd demand a refund on labor. And refunded whatever it cost for parts to do the repairs. Ya I'd be PO a whole lot too.as I imagine a lot of folks here would be. Larry

Basicly on the body I've removed all the tail lights and am installing the trailer led lights along with a pair of new 9" led lights under the trunk. They will replace the 3rd brake light I had before. These will act as running, turn, & brake lights in conjuction with the trailer style lights. Also I've built an axiluary 4 gal fuel tank and mounted it under the body and will have a filler neck top side of the body for easy access. I don't think I'll be running short of fuel anymore. Due to some cracks from body flexing, stone chips etc, and all of this work, the body and the trailer will be repainted & pin stripped before going on the road again. I'll attach a few pics from before and now of the framing. Prior to parking for the winter I converted the drum brakes over to dics as well. Much better stopping power now . Larry

Squidley is right as my trike is a Tri-Wing kit. I also like the Hannigans and like you did it myself to save some bucks. Besides being a retired mechanic I just couldn't see not doing the work myself. The only thing I didn't do was paint as that's not my forte. Best to leave stuff like that to better folks who will get you a professionally finsihed job imo. Jonesy if you have any questions drop me an e-mail and I'll be happy to forward tips and other info I've learned doing my conversion. Currently I'm redoing some things to the trikes body and will be sending it back to the body shop for paint. Check in my profile for pics of my trike -- http://www.venturerider.org/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1645 & http://www.venturerider.org/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1749 Larry

Add me to the list as well. Tools are always in use in my garage. Let us know when & where to send the funds. Larry
-
Yes it's all compatable. Larry

That was roughly my experince three years ago at age 59. Sent out the door for some flimsy excuse and then bring in a kid for $5 /hr less and no benifits. After being out over a year I managed to get SS . I also get a small pension from my previous job so am doing OK considering when compared to many others. I pray that things do turn around soon for so many who have lost so much thru these trying times. Larry
-
Don't think anyone uses that attachment or hose. I've run my horn for over 2 years now and it still works fine. Even after getting caught in some serious downpours. I wouldn't worry about it. Larry
-
It's true you need to know the distance being measured to get the ratings. And while the Stebel horn may look puny by the numbers it's still one of the best bets going to increase sound on our bikes. I won't go into conventional air horns but those generally require a lot more room to mount, not to mention higher costs. Larry
