  1. inside rear brake pad wears out very fast compared to the outer rear brake pad.. You might want to check your rear inner pad is not super thin or wore out. Easy to fix ..if rear rotor is not scored.. Also the dead center at bottom of the lower front farings, the attach tab breaks off easily. Again, easy fix..but could be broke off yours.
  2. I am NOT saying this is YOUR problem,,, but it was mine and my 05 Venture acted the same way..Hope what ever it is, you find the cause..and enjoy your trip..ride safe.. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32359
  3. I thought so too Karl. After some p-email exchanges with the initiating poster, I truly know that was his ONLY intent... being funny...not being political.. I just hope this thread remains being taken that way....being humorous..
  4. I'm sorry to hear of this tragedy. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He died doing something, (I feel), the man upstairs would be very proud of... Helping in the time of need..pouring out his heart for others, loving, caring, and giving. I pray his family finds such closure.
  5. I am certain it wont be long and this thread will be headed south to the political side.. We all know what happens then...it will be deleted.

    Where was he when he jumped? At the edge of the roof.. He could not have jumped off if he was in the middle of the roof...
  8. Rick, I moved this thread from the watering hole section to the jokes and humor section. And I eat ICE all the time...now I now what wrong..thanks:thumbsup2:
  9. Heck, just ride it......................and they say Harleys have issues.........ha
  10. In those high temps, don't fill it with gas to the top..leave room for expansion...
  11. You can have it...I don't camp anymore...
  12. Here are some ideas from my boy scout days... Scatter a few small bags of peanuts on the ground of your neighbor who is camping across the street from your camping spot As the days pass, pour all your half empty drinks onto this same neighbors camping spot. Late in the evenings place a few scraps of food on this same neighbors picnic table. Dont forget to smear a little peanut butter on the rear side of your neighbors tent seat too.. Wont be long for the entertainment to start.......... No you know why I don't camp anymore...
  13. This manual may be of help with many things on your bike. http://labs.trunkful.com/vrmanuals/index.cfm
  14. There are custom made seats available for the GW 1800, but they are NOT cheap... Corbin, Harbin and Diamond makes custom seats to name a few... Easy to make the stock seat higher,just add a Wal-Mart gel seat pad for $20 bucks for starters, but making the seat where you can sit farther back is a challenge due to the built in back rest section in the stock seat. Keep in mind, that by moving YOU back in the drivers seat will rob much needed real estate from the passenger seating area...and you wife may not like that..There isn't much room for the passenger as it is on a GW.. The RSV has a whole lot more room for the passenger. Now there's a thought... wonder if the RSV seats can be made to fit the GW... Hum.............. Many options for foot pegs on forward crash bars are available to accommodate the different length of legs..
  15. You can get a cheaper cooler bag something on the order like Midrsv is speaking of from Wal-Mart for about $9 bucks. Like Monte, I went to Lowes (4 yrs ago), and bought some aluminum angle and made a cheap cooler rack that fits on my trailer hitch. When I made the cooler rack, I made it to FIT an existing cooler I had sitting in the garage that holds a 6 pack.. It works great...
  16. Sorry to hear this, but glad your around to talk about it.. Hope all goes well during operation and your recovery.
  17. Sorry Wes, We can not meet up with you early Thursday morning, since we are on the east coast, but we may meet up with you late Thursday night.. We are leaving Charleston, Sc early Thursday morning and heading towards Columbia then to Vogel..anyone want to join us on our way in, send me a post or email.. See you Thursday night Wes. Ride safe..:biker: Eck
  18. Seasons Inn...Blairsville...$55.00 a night....
  19. Sorry to hear of your troubles.. Think years ago... I was married to her sister.............
  20. Hate to hear this Brad.. Prayers sent.. Hope they catch the low-life who hit him.
  21. Neat idea there Kent..I'm sure it will work for years that way too.. Radio shack may have some pins that can be used and soldered on to the ends of the wires. Not sure if they have them or not but worth a stop in to check
  22. Yes we are Wes, and I guess your invited too, since there is about as much plastic on a RSV ............
  23. Sent you another email that has my son's cell number. He said you can call him anytime. When your done with his phone number make sure you post it in all the mens rest rooms everywhere you stop at.... Eck
  24. Sent you an email I have a drawing on how to make the required muffler brackets for HD mufflers. Heck, forget the email... I remembered I can place the drawing right here for you see attachment
  25. Jeff might have to trailer his wing there..I'm riding mine.......
