Hello, I have an older service manual for the Venture which shows hex bolts and a tightening torque of 18 ftlbs for the two bolts that hold the front caliper together. My 2012 has 10mm bolts and the 18 ftlbs feels light, I'm thinking it should be more like 25 ftlbs. I would be grateful if someone could confirm the correct torque for me. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I just ordered a Hagon (HD) from Dave Quinn Motorcycles. He asked me to let people know he is sold out of Hagons for the Star Venture, I got the last unit. He said it would be a couple of weeks before he gets more in. Cheers Ron

Hello, I just joined the forum, I have been reading posts for a while and I find this forum is the best! The rear shock on my 2012 Venture is pretty much done. I guess I can't complain too much since it gave me 73,000km of service. I am thinking about going with the Hagon unit, I don't pull a trailer and I am about 50/50 with a passenger. I sent emails off to the US and UK suppliers. We'll see if anyone replies. Ron.
