Sorry to hear of this bad news that happened to your friend John. Many things could have caused it. Deer as you mentioned, but he could have passed out (diabetic maybe?), or something related to a medical issue. Sure hope he recovers well and finds himself on two wheels again some day soon. Your friend is in our thoughts and prayers

Prayer Request for Condor
Eck replied to Lone Eagle's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
Jack, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. May peace be found at your door and bounds of strength found within for you and your family -
Ive been on this site for about 7 yrs now and I still have the same feeling about it. Many of the members enjoy helping others with thier experience or thier hands on help and or training. You can always find a needed part but most of all you will find harmony amongst everyone. Once in a while you may find a posting that doesnt digest right, but when you have 13k plus opinons, not all of them will be the same. Glad you came aboard this great place. If you ever have a question, just post it. Someone will jump in with an answer...it may not be what you were looking for but keep reading the other posts and soon you should find it.

[And aren't you impressed that I typed this using my left hand only? And I'm not left handed! Not bad typing..The more practice you get with that left hand will come in handy come morning .... Is the T-paper located on the right, or left of your toilet.....?

When you turn your key on, you should hear the fuel pump clicking (running) and it slows down and comes to a stop after building up pressure. For a test: You can remove the fuel pump outlet line. Hook up another hose and run it to a bucket or can, then turn your key on to see if it pumps and continues to pump..fold the outlet line in half to build pressure..the fuel pump should slow down and quit..release the hose and see if the fuel pump starts back up again..if it does not, and you tap on the fuel pump and it starts pumping again, then I would agree the fuel pump is bad.. They are a known nusence on the Ventures.

Road Kings are good looking bikes. Close to the ground for us short legged folks. The only problem I know of is you have to be very careful when taking one to a VR gathering.. Someone might want those good sounding exhaust pipes........ GW's on the other hand no one wants a thing to do with it........

My 2 cents for what it's worth.. I would not use a heat gun on the gas tank.... Using a heat gun that close to the gas tank cap would not be working in a safe enviornment and "COULD" end up "COSTING" you dearly just to remove that small decal. No matter what project you do please work safely at all times. I strongly reccomend using WD-40 which will remove the decal very easily and it will not disturb the paint finish at all. Spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the decal catching the excess (running) with a soft cotton cloth or rag. Let it set for a minute, Repeat, then using your fingernal pic at the decal and WHA-LAH...the decal comes off easily. Use more WD 40 to remove all the remaining glue. Wash area with soap and water, rince and wax it... You could soak a rag in water and place it over your gas cap, then use the heat gun, but why take such a chance of loss when yuo can easily remove it safely with WD-40

I did the same thing on my GW... It too about blew me out of the seat..

Skid, You just may as well sell that thing. All you need to do now is have about two more childeren, and then you can just sit on the porch and wave at the other bikers as they ride on by.. Who knows, I just migth wave back at you..

Front neck/steering bearings?
Eck replied to pick's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hey Pick, it has been a long time my friend.. Thought you feel off the edge of the world over there. If I was able to help you I would, but I just cant right now. I have never changed the bearings in the neck, but I would be able to provide lots of advise..ha.. I have changed bearings in a Honda...and they are all the same basically. Removing the inner fairing is a PITButt.. I donty think you have to remove the inner fairing all the way off but could be wrong..but you do have to be able to move it for access though. -
how would you fix this
Eck replied to motorcycle_1300's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Allen, Can you post a picture of the scratch? Just me thinking out of the box here, without being able to see the scratch, I do not know if is in a location where you could fill the scratch and then place a decal over it... If this is not in your game plan of ideas, most body shops could touch it up where it is not noticable. You can remove the trunk and drop it off at a local body shop.. Within two to three days they should have it painted for you.. -
[quote=tommycole;693687 .............think i need whole fairing off? Tom, I sent you an email...with instructions on how to do this without removing the faring... Eck

Here is my 2 cents..for what its worth.. The black one would more then likely be just fine for any and all trups you plant to take in the futre. It has a much lower profile meaning a lot less air drag.. The White one looks much heavier and will have more air drag due to the blunt front of it. The White one will most likely also need a bra across the front to protect it from debris that will cause chips in the paint. The black one already has the cooler mounted on it (no work involved), and it appears the cooler just about covers the whole front of the Black one so a bra may not be needed for it.. Ok,, now its time for you to make your mind up.. If you are anything like my son, you will do the complete opposite of what my opionion is.....
