I have a 2nd gen mint in raven black with Yamaha trunk rack on it and all the bracket to mount it. I have not made up my mind to sell it yet but I'll keep you in mind.
-
I use it in my Dual Sport and love it! I was thinking of putting it in the Venture but I'm having 2nd thoughts now.
-
After removing the trunk I took my first good ride sunday on some good twisties! The C/T feels alot better than before. I didn't feel like I was drifting in the turns like before. I think the extra weight off of the bike made the tire more stable. I put over 5K miles on the tire with the trunk and couldn't get the feel but after one day without it I'm thinking of staying on the darkside with the star glide. http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/MARKANDBINA/starglide001.jpg

The 10th pic is mine before the change! -
I havn't checked it since the change. I don't see it making a big differnce only loosing 40lbs. I average 40 to 45 mpg on my bike. On long back road trips 50 mpg.

What you felt was the tire. I felt the same thing and had someone follow me and confirm what I felt. I have taken the trunk off my venture and notice a big change in the way the C/T feels. I now have 6k on my Kumho and I don't think I'll buy another. It's not for an agressive rider at least not on this big of a bike.

The kit I have is running lights, brake lights, and blinkers. It was only about $50.00. This is it installed. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI-7C9e4A7g]YouTube - tail light conversion[/ame] -

The blinkers were easy I got the kit from Cruise Customizing a few years ago. They glue to the lens and when you turn on the blinker they flash yellow to red and they are brake lights also. Belive it or not it feels lighter than a RSTD. 40 lbs of the top made a big change. Are you getting the backrest from Jim M.? He can't seem to make up his mind. He thinks you just want the rack. -

This one is still up in the air. So I'm still looking......Who wants this money? -
I put one on my RSTD but I traded it in before I put alot of miles on it. It did have good traction dry and wet but I can't say how long they last.

I just lost another backrest on Ebay! I bought one off a road star and plan on making it work for now. -
Mine did flake after I installed a flame thrower kit. I sanded them down and painted them black they look even better on the black bike. http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc340/MARKANDBINA/starglide001.jpg

The brake light is just a spinner bulb I got off E-bay. Took the baffles out and idle down some. Check this post for before and after sound. [ame=http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40784]baffles out of bub exhaust - VentureRider.Org[/ame] -

It sounds better than any Harley! More like a NHRA drag car! -

I'm not getting rid of the trunk just yet. But let me know if you want to sell it. I have a bid on one on flebay right now.
