Very little braking front or rear. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Drove home from the mechanic this morning. Runs good! A little rough at idle bit mech. says to run some good gas through before dropping a few hundred to do carbs. Now I'm trying to figure out what order to hang the fairing in as I rebuild it. I'm waiting for the J-B Weld to set good on my radiator overflow tube Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Zip strips! Of course! Thanks! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

But then, when I brought my 80 GW back from dead after 3 yrs parked, I put 8K miles on it in 3 months without getting stranded. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Y'all makin me think I'll be spending my day beside the road instead of on it... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Sooo, pull my utility trailer? Hahaha! About 25 pounds there! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

You guys probably have a pretty good idea of what should be in my Essential tool kit that travels with me as I get to know this 34 year old motorcycle. Feel like sharing your secrets? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

It's ALIIIIIIIVE! my guy says he unplugged and replugged the CDI and it quit blowing fuses! Cranked right aver and ran on 3 cylinders, he thought. The last time he started it, it was running good then the tach died and then it shut down. Thanks to snyper396 I'll have my used CDI box tomorrow at a very reasonable price and the mechanic said he'd get it in there and probably pull carbs or check carbs Saturday. He still hadn't pulled the plugs to see if one was fouled and that was the issue or not before doing carbs. Sounds like I get to be a Venture Rider soon! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I use voice to text a lot so I don't get any proper grammatical typing. And like spell check it might be spelled correctly but it's the wrong word. Hahaha Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I had some "fog" lamps that I had to tape off the top of too. Felt like a coastal city in WWII! Haha Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Is it sandable? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Thanks Vamos! Good to know. I'm 6' with a 34" inseam and had the same question about highway pegs. My problem is 165 lb it sounds like I need to double my body weight! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Does someone have a suggestion for good lights to add? We deal with many deer, Turkey, critters on our best roads at night. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Was supposed to say, "allow glue to cure without the stress." I'm not stressed. I'm learning and doing. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

This area at the top corner is under a lot of stress and very hard to get into it's natural position to glue. Curves and angles make clamping almost impossible. Would you cut the piece off to attempt reattaching? My thinking is that this would relieve the stress that the shape creates and allow glue to cure I'm stressed. Crazy or maybe?

Thanks all! It's going quicker than I thought it was going to. Having correct glue helps a lot! I was hoping one of you had a magic wand that would have it all good as new when I woke up today... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Opinions needed please. My 83 Venture is ROUGH body wise. Every piece is cracked, missing tabs, 20 new screws and bolts and things to replace missing or hodgepodge Hardware holding plastic together. Here's my dilemma, I have a heated shop where I can keep my bike and work on body and finding Parts and replacing/rebuilding things over the winter. I really want to get some miles on this bike this summer. Writing seems to be the only thing that satisfies my ADD so completely. Any recommendations on stripped-down versions or something that I could enjoy traveling on without having to worry about replacing a bunch of junk right now? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Latest update. Printed a bunch of your info. Stopped in to discuss it with my mechanic who told me he's owned two of these bikes already but but very open to any help as he gets going. I'm supposed to know something by the end of the today or tomorrow. I was concerned about getting advice from others to share with him when I've hired him as my expert. But explained it I just want to do this as cheaply as possible in there was great information available quickly from you all. Thanks everyone Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

That's what saw before! Thank you Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
