Looking good there Gunny. Hope to meet up with sometime down the road. I put over 11k on mine last summer and it really didn't take much time to get used to it. Sure there'll be a few quriks from what you're used to from the two wheel variety. Just take your time getting used it it and you'll be fine. Did you get the EZSteer done on the fork trees? Dragon Rider who's trike kit do you have on your bike. Mine's a Tri-Wing. JerryM has a Tri-Wing as well set up on his RSTD. Larry

I also use the Kuryakyn type of switch box mounted the the clutch resvoir. The 1st link you provided is a nice looking switch assembly thou and I might have gotten one of them if they had been available when I added my switch box. Either way you go it'll look great on the bike. Oh yea the bars are all 1" for the Ventures and RSTD's. Larry

I didn't have the chance to go to the International Rally this year so missed meeting Al. None the less it always saddens me to lose another member. Peace for him and his family as I know he'll be missed. Larry

50* here now and snow is going away FAST. Then by tomorrow night we're back to the deep freezer again. Larry

Bandit or Gizmo. I think either name fits well. Or if you prefer a more lady like name go with Brandy. Larry

Ok folks it's mc show time once again here in Michigan. This year it's on Jan 2nd - 4th at Rock Financial Showplace 46100 Grand River Avenue Novi, MI 48374 As in the past I plan on going on Saturday with breakfast at the Big Boy prior to the opening. Who else may be there? I'll start a list here and we can figure out what works best for everyone. Larry Here's a link to the shows website --- http://www.motorcycleshows.com/ Check #11 post as I won't be at Big Boy's after all.

I say go for it. You'll end up with unique one of a kind ride that's sure to turn heads. At the least they'll be trying to figure out the make and model of bike ya got. Larry

While I'm not of the stick & string persuasion, I am a long time archer and do appreciate finely crafted wood bows and those who can shoot them proficently. Nice job there Tom. Larry

Talking with Squidley today and he's planning a End of Year party like we've had in the past just after the first of the year. It's possible that one of our Canadian friends attending that could relay the trailer from the Port Huron area. If there was a need to store the trailer till then I could do that. Not sure just where Darrell lives so it might be easier transporting the trailer around the east side of Lake Erie. Larry

relocate red on/off ign. switch??
Carbon_One replied to TxVenture's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Haven't seen or heard of anyone relocating that switch but have seen a post or two here about converting the kill switch for other uses. Since you don't like killing the motor when it's not wanted you could either disable it and put a kill switch somewhere else or use it for say spot lights or whatever takes your fancy. Larry -
That's a pretty neat idea you have there Jeremy. On my bike I used a reservoir switch box and simply toggle the lights on or off when I want. Normally they're off when starting or sitting idling but on at all times, day or night. Thanks for sharing it as others may want this option. Larry

It's a heavy heart to read this of you having to close up financial ends as well. As previously noted there's always the possibility of getting a used 2nd gen by next year at a decent price. Sorry 1st genners we all know where Brad's heart is with there Ventures. Best of luck to you Brad in getting what you need done - both with the sale and getting those pesky finances in order. Larry

[quote=kj4v Also if you take your foor and push on that crash bar it will bend right back with little effort, and don't ask how I know that either. That is why I added a crash support bar to my Venture as well as stiffening it for footrests. There's a post I put on here about what I did. Larry

While I tend to agree with this statement I also feel it the individuales decision whether to see such stuff. No I don't suggest posting the pics as we normally do but a link to them would then allow each of us to decide for ourselves whether to go to the linked site or not. Larry

No more Tail of the Dragon.................
Carbon_One replied to DragonRider's topic in Watering Hole
Lewis has there been a date set yet for Vogal? If there was I must of missed it. Never to early to get the calendars dates set up you know. This next summer I plan on attending more VR rallies and forgo others I attended in the past. Larry -
No more Tail of the Dragon.................
Carbon_One replied to DragonRider's topic in Watering Hole
I'm just glad Lewis is doing it again, renamed or not. I want to finish out the entire rally with the shiny side up. Missed Muffinman's get together last year and don't want to miss this one for sure. Joyce and I really loved the Vogal State park setting. Larry -
Oh great another time waster. I love it. 1st time 83 sec. Second time 35 seconds - decent Larry

Wiring connectors
Carbon_One replied to venture101's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I had the entire front of the bike apart with wiring completely disconnected for 3 months. Never lost any of the computers memory. Don't remember if the radios memory was effected thou I tend to think it might of been as I think you need constant battery power to retain it's memory. Can't do nothing for your memory.

Here's a heads up that I have the lift adapters available again. While the remodeling project isn't completed 100% I did manage to get a few built while waiting on deliveries. Larry

Lift adapter by Carbon One
Carbon_One replied to venture101's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Check in the 2nd gen classified section on the last page. Here's the link http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showcat.php/cat/7/page/2 Any info you need that's not there then either send a e-mail or pm thru the site here. Scott2007's quote: Whats the difference from this one to the one that is on EBay for 55 dollars? As noted the guy copied a earlier version of my lift adapter. Since then I have improved the basic design as well as offering the Freestanding model as mentioned by N3FOL. My prices including shipping to any place here in the 48 States in the US. I also ship to Canada but have to charge to cover extra shipping fees. Glad to hear I have so many satisfied customers too. No one has asked for a refund yet. Larry -
Just say when and we'll invade the place enmass. That ought to get the towns attention. Larry
