It always seems to be a "crap shoot" when dealing with sound from past experiences. I'm hoping they will look good, flow good and hopefully sound good. Waiting on UPS for now, hopefully they didn't send them on "the slowest ship in the shipping business".

That's not me in the video, I found that on you tube. I just thought his exhaust sounded good. I'll try to post a picture for you Eck when I have them installed. They said 7 days shipping... The snow is not melted here yet anyways! I think the oval coming out under the bags should look good. Looking at the bike they will line up just inside the bags on the inner edge. The oval is 2"x51/2".

Just Bought these Mufflers on Ebay, what do ya think? A while back I posted about low power on my venture, especially on the highway... started to look into it and realized my mufflers (off Roadling?) are very different side to side. one is almost straight through and the other has almost a cup in it with holes drilled in the sides for airflow. Maybe I have to much back pressure or to little airflow on the side with the "cup" or dead end in it. I'm really hoping they sound like these.

removal of trunk
07venture replied to magnum-pei's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I removed mine last summer for a while. I disconnected the cb and wiring (tucked wiring under rear seat) and removed the rack, trunk and antennas. I was suprised how heavy it was. The bike felt a lot lighter and handled different to me (Like a tour deluxe?) I liked the looks but missed the storage space, and the wife wouldn't ride on it without the backrest. -
Anyone know how to get pop out of a keyboard!? Might of jumped a little...

Thanks for all the responses, Its possible I'm remembering it "worse" that it was? (was last august) I haven't rode it since november and will have to "re-evaluate" it when weather permits. I have been thinking about the dyna module or the rear end swap, both might be fun but I dont think the finances will allow it. On my bike the carbs have been synched with the correct procedure and the needles have been shimmed half a washer or .010. It doesn't seem to miss any other times that I have noticed. (auto mech 23 years.) It just seemed kinda flat in 5th gear more than it should? I've only got about 6000 miles on it, maybe I do need a tach or wait til 75 mph or 2 up in those conditions... Thanks again for your comments.

Alright I'll admit it, I have been one of the members "lurking" and have not posted yet. I seem to visit the site several times a day, especially this time of year (Minnesota). I have owned my Venture for about a year and a half and will admit I am somewhat "on the fence" about it. The weight does not bother me, after the I-basket the whine is much much better, the ride is smooth and it handles OK for what it is. Maybe its just me (or what I'm comparing it to - previous bike GL1800) but to me it needs more power. I know about using the RPM of the V-4 and keeping it in that range. but I'd rather not have to be in 4th gear, 2 up on the highway to maintain 75 mph with a headwind of 15 to 20 mph. 5th gear would loose speed or be wide open to maintain speed. (2 up our combined weight 320 lbs). I have read about the rear gear swap and was hoping to hear from some of you that have done it, what your opinions are after having it for awhile. (performance, fuel economy, e.t.c) I think I read that its a 10% (roughly) difference in gearing... does that mean 17% speedo error? On a related note, could a resistor be used instead of a speedo-healed to correct the difference? Just Curious...? Sorry to make up for all this time lurking in one post!
