Praying for all of those impacted by the hurricane.

Kris was reading yesterday that the Red Cross was trying stop private aid in the form of food and water from being provided. She also read that FEMA has not responded in any way yet. Though that may be because, evidently, the governors involved had not declared a state of emergency at that point. ??? -
Looks like you did a great job! Now get to CTFW!

Congratulations!

Is that a Trike body? That lighter blue panel will definitely get in the way of the mounts I have. There may be different mounts available.

Watch this and be amazed!!

Ignitech makes a programable replacement TCI/CDI. I ran one on my '83. https://www.ignitech.cz/en/ -
Use a soldering iron to heat the nut.

I'll second the Kuryakyn Long Horns.

This little kit from Harbor Freight is "The Mott's"! https://www.harborfreight.com/locking-flex-head-ratchet-and-bit-set-35-piece-58074.html?_br_psugg_q=icon+wrench+set

There is no "trick" or technique that I have heard of for this PITA process. What works for me is to lube the rubber adapters with a tiny bit of silicone lubricant and get the carb bank started as best you can. Then use a good, solid wood hammer handle or length of 2x2 to pry against the frame top member to force the carbs down into the boots.

Need advice

I paid $2300.00 for my '06 a few years ago, but it was close to 100K on the odometer. Otherwise in nearly mint condition. -
Yes, the Gen1 MK1 had linked bakes. Rear and right front(IIRC) on the pedal and the left front on the grip. @skydoc_17 sells a delinking kit. If you already have R6 calipers on the front you are ahead of the game. Those, Earl's delinking kit and a higher flow front MC will make a world of difference in the stopping power. I don't remember if you want a Gen1 MK2 front MC or a Gen2 front MC. Earl will chime in on this, hopefully.

Looking good!

Help with Horn relay - do I have a story... :-)
luvmy40 replied to VentureFar's topic in General Tech Talk
The relay could certainly be faulty, just do a continuity test across the relay contacts when the horn button is held down. -
Yep

Unfortunately, the frame rot is all internal until it breaks. Odds are it's OK though. I've brought 2 CLASS modules back to life by re-soldering the pins on the board. I seem to recall seeing a Hello Kitty themed Venture at one point. Not sure if it was here or elsewhere.
