Charging a new battery
Skid replied to FROG MAN's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Put my battery in and RIDE... PS: I had to put "Ugly" on the charger today.... -
There is a gold colored Pontiac Grand AM with an excellent body for $1800.00 here in town. Been for sale just a couple days.... Shoot me a PM if you're interested for the number.

Well I priced the Yamaha rear shock this morning at the local dealer and they are a little over $600.00. I knew when I bought the bike that it was going to be sooner or later needing a rear shock. So it really wasn't unplanned......
-
So far looking at it I do not see where the oil had come out. It doesn't appear to had been cleaned as it still appears to be somewhat dirty as normal under a bike. Although, there was no air in the front or rear shock when I got it. During the Skid-In someone put about 30 lbs of air in he rear and 7 lbs in the front with a small hand pump. It sounding like I need to start looking for a rear shock...... So what is the best replacement rear shock, should I just go with Yamaha or is there a better aftermarket to go with?
-
I'm hearing a squeaking noise when compressing the rear shock. I searched for any leak, but everything is dry for now. Not sure if it is the rear shock or a bushing making the noise I hear. I know the rear shock has been a weak point on the Second Gens. It has 25K miles on it so its probably about time. Its not a high pitch squeak, but more of a low pitch rubbing noise. Is this the shock about to go?

I got mine ordered from Larry, but I'm picking mine up at vogel...

If it wasn't for this site, my First Gen wouldn't still be on the road.....I would have never tackled a few upgrades without the knowledge I learned on this site....Thank you Don. Is that $12.00 a month per member or per family?
-
Yeah, I got a few upgrades to do myself. A cup holder, xm & gps mounts, radiator grill cover, and I know there will be a couple more I'll think of soon.

I have a good friend locally here in town that has a silk screening business, He does most of all the sports uniforms for the schools. I can check with him and see what I can come up with. May even get a pretty good break....
-
Welcome back buddy, I missed you on here. I figured since I turned to the dark side that you wouldn't talk to me anymore.
-
Hey Dan hold the light hostage until you get your scoot back....
-
Thanks Lyle, I'm glad you made it home safely. Leslie and I was talking about it this evening. We really enjoyed meeting you and Pam too. Thanks for letting me test drive the trike, just don't tell anyone on here I was riding a Wing.....some is already calling me a traitor. You and Pam are welcome here anytime..... PS: Thanks for the t-shirt....
-
Well that was a great story and really well written too. I really enjoyed it. Now who is going to ride "Ugly" back to Dan's house?
-
a couple....
-
Love at first sight... Don't you just like a happy ending?
-
Hey Dan, did you lose one? I still got 5 bikes in my garage and the Skid-In is over.
-
Jerry, You got your own pull-thru parking space anytime.... Great seeing you and we'll see you again this summer.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE SKID-IN YET..........
-
First Gen choice of tires, hands down the Dunlop Elite II's.... If you can't find them then the Elite 3's.
-
It is a fact that yes history does repeat itself. Another great day of friends, food. The first day of the Skid-In 2009 was success. Everyone got plenty to eat and had a great time. Tune in tomorrow for more good food and let the rides begin......

I came across a 2002 Midnight with 25K miles on it. Appears to be in excellent conditiion and knowing where it came from, I'm sure it it. It has several added options including tank bid, luggage rack etc... The guy priced it at $8350.00 . Question is what is an 02 Midnight worth?
