It was 0f up to 16 the last 2 days here. Went over and started a rough-in on the electrical on a new house yesterday. Took along my 2 salamanders (190,000 btu between the two), got it up to 32 in the house by 5. Dressed right, worked hard, kept warm!!! Dan

Family (wifes side) is trying to get rid of one (time share) in Abaco, Bahamas. Beautiful place, didn't realize when we got into it that it would be too hard to get to. Rebuilt after hurricanes, beach side location, if I was rich I'd be there every winter. Even had drinks with Mr. Hilton (yes, that Mr. Hilton) at the bar next door one night. Wish we would have done it stateside. Dan

Interesting thread, as I will soon be tearing down my84 for the 2nd gear project, I also plan to do housekeeping on everything! (Might not get back on the road till fall if I don't watch it!). I'll check mine when I take off the fairing before I disconnect the electrical system. Might still be a couple weeks till I get to that cause of sons basketball, meetings, and some guy giving me a bunch of bike-fixing cash to wire up his new house! I'll report as soon as I can. Dan -
Front-end-wobble under hard braking
Dano replied to Gearhead's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
[quote=Neil86;164910]Pretty sure the front left caliper is linked with the rear caliper, right front runs from handlebar lever. Yep, my dyslexia kicked in again! Hope it doesn't happen when I need to pull in the clutch!!!!! Thanks Neil. Dan -
Front-end-wobble under hard braking
Dano replied to Gearhead's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I would do what Kit suggested, but also do it on both front rotors. A bent rotor would not have to be out much to cause a wobble. The harder you're on the brakes, the more pronounced the wobble. Or, take a test ride, then try applying the front brake only (right handlebar lever), then the combo front/rear brake. This could help eliminate which rotor. The left rotor is the handlebar activated caliper, the right rotor is hooked up to the rear. This holds true in your car, also. It usually happens when hot brake rotors hit cold water. Also, pull your pads and "S" sand them on 400 grit sandpaper to dull the glaze on them. Just a couple more suggestions, and good luck, Dan PS- a warped rotor will also cause the "hit & skip" braking sensation, as if the tire is losing grip with the road. -

Found this in our local AutoRV mag http://auto-rv.com/browse.aspx?AdName=CI5390032 Nice bike from looking at it. If anyone wants me to put eyeballs on it, let me know. Dan

Congrats on the success in raising a smart daughter, I have the pleasure of having one (I think so) also. We received a letter from Ball State University earlier this week congratulating her on making the Deans Honor Roll List for the first semester (3.68 cumulative GPA). Good luck in figuring out the future! A good problem to have. Dan

I've got Progressive (Drive Ins) for my cars and my bike for 3 years now. Crunched in the front of my Durango, paid my share (500) and they paid the rest, no questions. Rates didn't even raise. Bike costs me 284 for the year, full coverage (84 standard). Dan

I had a 2 hour window yesterday afternoon- 5-7 PM while the roads were dry and it was still a little light out. Rain and darkness coming. Let's go! Oops, sons basketball game at 6. Hope you guys had fun! Dan

Very nice place, really like the stacked porches, something you don't find anymore. Remember the houses that were plain on the outside, but beautiful on the inside with all the plaster and woodwork?! That's what this house looks like. I wonder what the original exterior was like before they put the siding on? Interesting project, good luck with it. If I'm in the area over the next couple years, I'll bring my toolbag and spend a weekend. Love working on these houses. Dan

To add to the funny side, you could have jumped off the bike, let it get totaled, took the money, bought a pristine quiet (and fast) 1st gen and still had money left over to trick it out! Seriously though, glad you were alert and able to escape. Could have been a whole lot worse. Dan
