That would be great if you could set up something thru your buddy. If it helps to know the package size you'll be looking at a box 5" thick, 13" wide and 26" long max with a weight of 12 or 20lbs depending on which model Flugur choses. Larry

Yea I seen that but I'm sure we could work out something for him. He wouldn't be the 1st member that I provided a detailed drawing of my lifts for a small fee due to them being overseas. This is of course that he'd be using the plans strictly for his own use. Larry

After time has gone by and with new info out it's a Kawasaki Voyager being brought back to life in it's new form. There's some other links here at the site showing the info. Larry

Ah but Flugur I do make a lift adapter for the older Royals. I make them with or without the leg attachments, same as the Ventures and RSTD's but modified to clear the horizontial shock of the older Royals. Costs are the same as either model of the newer bike lifts too. Still interested drop me a e-mail at lskeels@wowway.com for more details. Larry

Joyce & I reserved our room at the Microtel Inn today, Fri & Sat night. We'll ride out Fri morning with the group. Sure hope Mother Nature is good to us that weekend. Larry

Make sure the horns are getting a good ground. If they work fine when bench testing them, then you have a wiring problem somewhere. Larry

It'll be interesting to see what the mc rags have to say about this bike. Do they all claim it's the latest greatest bike going or do they all start dumping on it? Larry
-
Certainly an interesting bike. I too would of been interested in it if it had been available in 05 when I bought my Venture. Like others here have said Yamaha may be losing out big time if they either don't get their act together or even worse if they don't give the people the stuff they want on a touring bike. Have a buddy who's just about ready to pull the plug on his 07 H-D Road Glide and buy a Vision. He's had his bike in the shop way too much already (at least 5 times I know of)and getting fed up with it. Larry

It's under consideration here. Like Brad said in another post we won't know till later. Hopefully soon so you can get a better head count. Larry

Looking at his profile he has a 1st gen '91'. Unless he's anpther smart convert to the 2nd gens. Larry

Brad & Don have some good advice there on the area. I'm probably going up the west coast from Muskegon to Mackinaw myself this coming weekend. I know if we don't do this route we'll do a east coast run along Lake Huron and related back country roads. Either way will be good. My son, Eric has one of his rare 2 day weekends and we're going to make use of it by taking a bike trip together with the wives. Weather reports for the rest of this week and thru Sunday are predicting near perfect riding weather too. Larry

Nicely done Cliff. I know how much work you did on these 2 bikes. Painting seems one of the skills that have eluded me over the years. Like others here I do good to use a spray can with good results. Larry

Yamaha realized they missed the boat designing the 1st gens so after quit making them in 93 for 6 years decided it was time to make em right. Thus the 2nd gen bikes we have to this very day. Regardless if there is any resemblences to the Harley brands if you'll look you'll see these bikes are much more advanced, thou I will admit Harley is now playing catch up. Yea jt might be right about a certain redneck's "blue & white" but it should cause the redneck is a pretty big fellow and add in the fact that the 2nd gens are heavier , well you can see it's a tough fight. Myself I'll gladly give up a little speed for the comfort the 2nd gens provide over the 1st gen models. Anyhow welcome to the site here Dave and pay no mind to those . Larry

Good news. We could use a few more vendors like that in todays world. Larry
-
Neat machine but for the majority of people highly impracticle. Sorta like the Dodge Thomahawk made a couple years ago. It certainly does showcase the builders building skills and I'll tip my hat to him for a great finished product. Wonder how much vibes that V-Twin puts out too. Now put that bad baby in a trike or as suggested a sidecar rig and we just might have something!! Larry

Was thinking the same. Larry

Enjoy that new ride. Larry

While on another site I ran across this museum in Madison, Ga. http://www.microcarmuseum.com/info.html Kind of interesting thou I don't think we'll ever see much of anything like these vechicals in todays times. But if was fun looking at all of them. I do remember seeing a King Midget mini as a teenager. Larry

You're welcome and we're here anytime you or any other member is in need. But you probably can already see that. Larry
-
Looks great together. Just like they were made to be. Again good job there Jerry. Larry
-
Maybe new owners will be taking over. Larry
-
That's good to know. What brand of filter was it? Larry
-
Good job Jerry. Of course I knew it'd look good as you do fine work. Do as Skid says and get trike & trailer in a couple nice shots. Larry
-
Yep our area just seen a .50 raise in fuel prices these last 2 days. Where it'll end is anyones guess. Not likely to be good news no matter where we live. Larry
