I'll be there Bob, sounds like you started it, you finish it! Hey Starman, is that you I passed out in Hancock Cty maybe on 200 west the other day? I was on my 84 red heading south and you were heading north. It was later on in the afternoon.

Plugs are cheap enough to replace every year, I'd go ahead and do that first, then move south where it's a lot warmer!

It can be taken apart to fit in a smaller box, those side wings come off of the rear bumper pretty easy.

Prayers going out for all involved, hope the surgery goes well.

Yep, think my mind is made up now, why take a chance on p*****g off the wife?

Looks like you need some new cam cover gaskets and those bolt rubbers too. They just get hard with age and need replaced. I would also check where the wires come out of the stator cover (big cover on left side), they are notorious for leaking there also.

2nd gen trans into 1st gen pics
Dano replied to Venturous Randy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Are you having to change out the shift drum and forks too? -
We're still there for now, haven't talked to the wif yet, she's on vacation. She really likes those rooms, tho. How's Comfort Inn compared to Oberlin? We might be changin' things around here next week.

Hmmmm, gotta work on that 2nd gen already, Eh Charlie? Check all the plugs you can get to, if it was a 1st gen it'd be easy to do! Good luck, you might be ready to ride when it finally gets warm enough to ride up there!

looks like a blown freeze plug - pics too
Dano replied to massey130's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Not called a "freeze plug", but rather the drain for the heads if you ever have to take one off. -
We had beautiful weather here yesterday, overcast and about 45-50 today but I still found an excuse to take the bike out for a spin. Or two. Or three! Rain just started about an hour ago. Tuesday and Wednesday are also supposed to be gorgeous, but I gotta work, Such the luck......

Where's the training wheels at? He hasn't swapped out that little twin for a 'copter jet engine yet? I'm shocked!

Where to go for possible Motor overhaul??
Dano replied to mellco's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
That's what it sounds like, a valve thats stuck partially open. If you have access to the parts, get an adapter that will allow you to pressurize the cylinder, then listen at the exhaust and air filters for any air escaping out. Quick and easy check.- 16 replies

Taking a load off........I love LED's!!
Dano replied to Snaggletooth's topic in Poor Man Tips and Fixes
The "tang" or stinger is removeable, if you look at the underneath pic, you can see the hole that the pin goes thru, I just didn't install it for the pics, there's also a hole in the rear cross piece for the chain to hook into. I pulled my Craftsman trailer to Dons and down to the IR last year without any concerns, once I rebuilt the trailer and moved the box back about 6" to get the load corrected. A small 6 can (or bottle!) cooler will set easily on the platform tied down with some short bungie cords, ends up just below the license plate (for you LEOs out there!). -

I had posted some last year after I built it, but here's some I took last night. I use 1-1/2"x 1/4" flat bar for the horizontal bars, tied in at the muffler bolts, 1" flat bar for the vertical support bars (you gotta change out those top fender bolts to grade 8 tho, don't ask me how I know!); 1-1/4" angle for the rear cross piece between the runners, flat plate for the cooler rack and an 1-1/4" Class 1 stinger and tube. Everything is stick welded, extremely durable, offsets are built in to get around the rear pumpkin and swingarm. I'd probably go 150 + shipping if somebody wanted one, you buy your own stinger and ball (saves on shipping costs). These could go on either with or without the chrome rear "bumper", a small modification to the inside chrome piece (the up-sweeping piece) for the vertical riser to get past it is neccesary, but easily achievable with basic tools. Watchya' think? Ya, I know she's dirty, hasn't had that spring bath yet......... -
Yep, still much the same, slower than a 1st gen!!!!!!
