    It sits on top of either resvoir. Longer screws come with it. I have one of the older versions with toggle levers rather than the rocker type in your picture attachment. I use all thre of them as well. One is for the spot lights, another is for low beam and the 3rd is the lights on my tach and voltmeter. The low beam switch I normaly turn off after shutting the bike down. Then when restarted flip it back on. I do this to help the battery enjoy a longer life. Anyhow those units are very nice. You can get right or left side models too depending on which way you want the switches facing and which side you want it on. Mine is on left side with switches facing forward. Larry

    I have used the wing nut soluation before but after losing a couple I switched to a coupling style nut. They being longer are easier to get a wrench on and can be tightened down enough that there's no worries of them coming loose. Using them you don't need a socket, a wrench is fine. tried the no nut method too and like others didn't care for that moving feeling. Larry

    Sounds like you're on the right path there. I was thinking along the same lines too as to a yoke mounted ring gear and starter of some sorts. Your idea of using the starter button is neat too. Keep me in the loop once you've finshed & tested it. Larry

    Just saw the post and would go except already committed to a gun show. My club is sponsering it and I'm hoping to unload a few items so have a table set up. Maybe next time Larry

    I don't know but will find out as soon as our weather makes riding permissable. Maybe JerryM will chime in here or one of the other trike owners. I do intend to do some researching this summer for some sort of reverse set up. What I'll find remains debatable but I'm sure there has to be something that can be done to put a reverse on these nachines. Larry

    I just changed out my handlebars for Flanders so had to reinstall my Kurykyn grips. Here's a couple of suggestions I haven't seen others mention. 1. mount up your right side throttle grip first. Once you get that on and the cables adjusted then your ready to do the left side. 2. On the left side position your grip the same as the right side is. It'll not only look better but feel the same. Also there'll be a small gap on the right side. Even thou the left grip could go up tight to the switch housing I prefered it to have the same space between the switch housing and grip. I used a super glue for my left grip much like Kurykyn uses. Larry

    WalMart sells a small light for about $15. They have either 50 or 55 watt bulbs so should light up the road well as well as being seen. I think they're made by Optinics. JC W sells them to for a bit more $$$$. Larry

    TX, you're on the right track of bracing the ends of the windshield bar. like many others mine are broken too. Well at least one side for now is. My soulation was to use a couple of washers with a rod welded between them. One end goes under the screw at the bars end and the other went to a speaker grill screw. I put up a post a while back on this repair. Not sure if it was before or after the sites crash. Below are a couple pics showing what I did. Larry

    My Alaska Leather sheep skin pads we have are great as others here have said. Don't use them all the time but sure make a difference on all day rides. I like the Alaska Leather ones as they custom fit to our seats plus use quick connect buckles with elastic for securing them. Easy to put on / take off and they stay put. Larry

    Eck you have a pm Larry
  14. Carbon_One
    I have a used set I won't be using PVSoonerFan. Pm or e-mail me for discussing a deal on them as well as their condition. Larry

    Ok Bartley pm or e-mail me your address and you get the shifter. Condor has someone else giving him one you so get this one after all. Larry
  16. Carbon_One
    Sorry Bartley I didn't see your request long ago or you would of gotten this one back then. Hope someone else has one for you soon. Larry
  17. Carbon_One
    The steel on these shifters isn't that hard and can be bent some so if you only need to tweak it a bit to clear I think you'll be oK. You'll know soon enough for sure once you get that shifter sometime mid-week Condor. Larry
  18. Carbon_One
    I've got an extra one laying here collecting dust. Pay the shipping costs and it's yours. Either pm or e-mail me your address. Larry

    I just put new speakers in the front fairing on my bike. On both stock and the replacement speakers the + was on the left side. Left and right speakers had different colorred wires for the positive & negative. Left side was white for - , Red w/white tracer for +, Right side was red w/black tracer for + and blue w/ black tracer for -. At any rate both sets of speakers where marked + & - Hope this helped Larry BTW: this is on my 05 Midnight so other years may have different colored wiring

    It's going out in tomorrows mail Jeff Thanks, Larry

    I thought so too Cougar but wanted to be sure with input from someone much more knowledgeable on this matter. Larry
  22. Carbon_One
    Cougar how about these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150205776226&rd=1 Will they do same job and is the 0-800 HZ the right size. I saw another web site recommending 800 hz for 4" speakers. Larry BT: I don't plan on adding an amp system, just going with the stock system except for having changed out the front speakers.
  23. Carbon_One
    I changed out the front speakers today with the Polk 401's. Got them from Circuit City. Have't tried them yet as I have other electrical stuff to finish up. Does the bass blocker work that good that it should be included in this swap? Where is best source and what should I be asking for? I know nothing of these things concerning audio equipment. Larry

    Keep an eye open for meets & eats as well. You'll have the opportunity to meet some wonderful fellow Venture riders this way. Larry

    You might be further ahead to buy a chromed front end from a Midnight model then just swap out parts. Larry
