Here's a solution for wet electricals. Get a can of spray silicone and give all the wires, boots and connectors a nice even spray. Do this when you know everything is dry. I've done this on older cars and after a treatment you could dump a bucket of water over the distributors & coils without killing the motor. Larry -
Buddy I've found that over time the provided foam has a tendency to loosen. The velcro by itself isn't enough to keep them secured. So my soluation for a fix was to use a 3" long piece of 3/4" black heater hose per side. It'll follow the curves & being black it blends in real well. Larry

Looking at the weather and the fact that some folks would be tired after getting in today and tomorrow I suggest we hold the M&E Sunday. Weatherwise Sunday should be a great day. Larry
-
Let's give the out of town guests till this evening to chime in on which day they prefer to do the meet & eat. Larry
-
Sorry Gary my bad for not thinking here. Guess I better send out a couple more notices for our across the river friends. Larry
-
I've got gauges and all the tools to check your ride out. I'm just north of Metro-Airport so depending on where you're at in SE, Mi you could be fairly close. Send me a pm for my address and we'll getr done. Larry
-
I'll 2nd that. Larry

Already notified all the locals here. Sorry ya won't make it Gary. I'm in crunch time getting ready for Cody as well. See ya there friend. Larry

Cort I just sent you a pm with some info on lodging. Larry

OK folks any prefences between Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evening for a meet & eat at Leons in Dearborn? The Village & Museum closes at 5pm and we're looking at most 10-15 min from leaving there to get to the restraunt. So my suggestion would be to meet at around 5:30. Just need to pick a day here is all. Larry

Motor trike did offer a kit for the RSV's in earlier years but do not do so now that I know of. How long they did them I don't know. I have seen one Venture with one on it and it looked OK. Can't tell ya much more then that thou. Oh it was a true trke conversion and wasn't one with the extra pair of wheels on the side like the Voyagers use. Larry

Always been like that but as you noted it seems to be worse now due to the economy. With so many bikes on the market to choose from you'd think prices would be lower if they really wanted to move their rides. Larry

Nice of ya to make this offer Jay. OK folks let's get some input here on either Jay's offer or simply do a meet at the local restaurant. As to the distance to his place it all depends on where they're coming from. Certainly not far enough away to stop anyone I'd think. And if venison isn't what ya want we can find something else to toss on the grill. Larry

Wow who would of thought that we'd be getting three out of state'rs going to a specific event and not knowing the others would be doing the same!!!! Carl yea we have meet for M&E's many times at Leon's in Dearborn. They can accomodate large enough groups in their banquet room on short notice easy enough. We'll need to have some idea as to which day & time would be best for our out of town visitors. Hopefully we'll know early enough in that Karl can get there on time since he has a bit of a ride to get here. Cort I'll check around on hotels. We have both kinds. LOL I've found that if you pickup those hotel books you see in the racks on the freeways you'll find some decent deals. Example: on our way home from Tennessee Monday we decided to call it a day between Louisville, Ky and Cincinnati, Oh. We chose a Dury's hotel just north of Cincy. Cost was $70 using a coupon from a book opposed to what would have been normally a $100 room. The Metro-Airport area has a bunch of chain brand hotels to check out and is about 10-12 miles from Dearborn. Larry

Pretty much what everyone said here. To see it all in a relaxed atmosphere do the village one day and the museum the other. I'm just 8 or 9 miles west of town so if ya give a shout out in the evening we could have a impromptu meet & greet. Maybe scare up some other local members as well. Larry
-
yep got mine and Don's at the same time at our local Kolh's store. Don't remember when we got them but wouldn't hurt to look for them. Larry
-
Sadly all good things must come to an end sooner or later. Joyce & I had a great time visiting with everone. Wished it had been a bit cooler during the day but we gotta take what is given. I'll download what few pics I took once we're home, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Wishing all a safe trip home. Larry

Rider Down - Pegasus 1300
Carbon_One replied to utadventure's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
Sorry to hear of any member here having any kind of accident, especialy one with injuries like these folks are enduring. Wishing a complete recovery for both of them. Larry -
Found this old post at the bottom of the page under related links after posting. Guees you all need to get ahold of Thom & see if his friend will run another run of buckles. Larry http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=29013

Will keep you, family, & friends in our thoughts and prayers Gary. Larry

I have one of the Venture Rider belt buckles and have been asked who made them. Can't remember who was taking those orders but since it's been a while, as well as before the last sites crash I think, I can't find a reference for them. I'm pretty sure it was someone in Texas but could be wrong there. Time for another group buy? Info anyone? Larry
-
Congrats to the both of you, Brad & Lonna. Wishing you both many more of them. New job Lonna?? Well better enjoy today before hitting the jobs door. Larry & Joyce

If you're still in the area after the 28th we could hook up for a impromt m & e. I'm probably about 45 minutes north of Monroe. We're leaving in the morning headed to Tennessee and then on to Snarly Bill's Eureks Springs rally/meet. Larry
-
Sorry to hear this news James. Hopefully life will turn around for you sooner then later. Best of luck squaring things up with SS. You could go to a public library and sign in to VR to let us know how you're doing. Or maybe a nearby member could keep us up to date on ya. Larry

Passenger Backrests
Carbon_One replied to smoking gun's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I have arm rests I made for my trike, B2Dad's trike and a friend of B2Dad/B2Mom's Voyager trike. Due to requests from other members I have made up 4 other sets. If interested let me know. These will not have studs on them as shown in the below pic. In fact I'm taking those pads off later and replacing them due to the studs rusting, not stainless steel. In operation the arm rest lifts up for passengers to either climb aboard or off. Diamond R also sells a set that attaches to the grab handles. That model's arm rest swings outward which I feel isn't good for a trike but OK for 2 wheelers. Larry
