  1. Do we have a "Buster", as in the mythbusters type...... If you keep doing stuff like this, we will need to change your name.........
  2. Takes a bit, to wring the water out of the packets & dry them out...... It took a long time when I first got back from work, but back to normal now.

    Hey GaryN

    Now that you put it that way, probably not.............:rotf:
  4. We now know why he is on a 2nd gen, to keep his speed down.... :rotf:
  5. The trick is the snap ring & air suspension collars, unless you don't want to use the air system. For a 1st gen, the best way would be a new set of aftermarket fork tubes, made 1" (or so) shorter than stock & leave the spring spacers out. The company that can make these, is referred as Forking by Frank, great service too, will build over length or shorter if requested. The only hangup with them is payment options, as they seem to prefer Postal money orders, from Canada. http://www.frankmain.qpg.com/ The other option is to leave the spacer out on the set of progressive springs, with the existing tubes. But that still leaves the slight possibility of bottoming out, with a very hard compression of the front end.
  6. Gather up your whips & get over there...........:rotf:
  7. I know I forgot the sleeve on mine, normal sleeve.
  8. Glad you got his attention & back into his lane.......
  9. Perhaps, they were thinking it was added to the oil??? In that useage, yes it needs to be changed, with only a few minutes running time, if I am correct. But for fuel use, no oil change is needed.
  10. I was thinking of a shotgun, with rocksalt loads, that should get their attention............
  11. Yup, slide the false tank forward. Make sure you pull fwd at the front end with one hand, as you do not want to break the mounting tab. I usually have my other hand, pushing, at the front of the filler opening. BTW you sit on top of the gas tank.........
  12. Ah yes, the pond monsters, this weekend..........:rotf:
  13. Check this out, for the E4 fix............ http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=493
  14. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  15. Yup got mine today too, installed it before leaving work. Will have to test it out this weekend...... :thumbsup2:
  16. Maybe on this thread....... What is your forecast of # of pond monsters sighted at Don's this weekend.:rotf:
  17. Here is the one I got from Sarges46......... http://www.utpr.com/venture.html
  18. Ok, no error codes......... You may need to dig further into the unit & check / clean the switches. I had done mine last year & improved the performance of a temperamental one. I had used Q tips & rubbing alcohol, to clean things.
  19. I think the difference, between them, is only the brake rotors.
  20. Tempting, isn't that right Don. 93 Venture, even provided you with an excuse......... :mo money::rotf:
  21. Ok, that is the power up self test, by sounds of it. Press one of the 2 rectangular buttons to select front or rear, then try the 3 smaller square buttons above for different pressure levels in auto mode (outer square ones in manual mode). The round button is to select auto or manual mode. Play with it & see what happens, you should not get an E (error) code, but if so we have the info to fix most of them.
  22. http://www.rammount.com/ They have solid mounting systems for bikes, look at the options here.
  23. So, I guess he wanted you to get his good side, in the pic????????:rotf:
  24. Looks like you are now a target, for her to shoot.........:rotf:
