Condor

Here ya go. Have fun. http://www.cast-aways.com/images/chopper%20(Small).jpg

I ran K&N's in the '83 and it didn't run lean. Ran just fine. Richen up the mix and your MPG will suffer, and that's not something you might want to do with the price of fuel lately...

Unless you are in need of some serious battery charging, any 12.9vdc/1 amp maintainer should work just fine on an AGM. Personally I'm with the rest that don't have a problem letting an AGM sit over the winter. I've also had a couple of Odyssey PC680's in the office for 3-4 years now and when I put the smart charger on them every year...just because... they top off in 2-3 minutes at less than 2 amps. A couple of years ago I had rectifier problems on the way to Cody Wy. I sucked the DEKA dry at 8.9vdc. I thought it was a goner. Got to the motel and put it on the charger over night and it was reading FULL in the morning. Tossed it back into the bike and it's still in there....

I'm not sure I understand??? You feel sorry for me because I own a Venture, and try to contribute to the board the best I can??? Interesting....

Someone may have already mentioned this, but if not, the 1stGen runs a 16" rear tire. I'd be inclined to modify one of them. They're cheap enough off eBay...

Who knows, you may even agree with what they have to say???

Of all the decals this one in my opinion is the classiest.

I wasn't around since the gitgo, but still had around a thousand posts before the crash of '06. Some of us take a greater interest in what goes on around here. Heck some of us even own Ventures....

That's really cool. I didn't realize the temp was so low. Thought it was up around 2000deg and always wondered how they kept any masking from burning up... Nice job Gary..

Nope... In a holding pattern on that one... Birthday??? What's a birthday??? I am an antique.... The markers are all safe..... Dang.... I thought it would take a lot longer than this??? Nice going!!!

Anyone guess what it was.....

That's just plain scary!!!

OK, here goes. This is a CAVE. Not a garage. It's messy, and disarray...just like a cave should be....

Man, if I had that kind of experience and background in HVAC I'd be looking at opening up my own business... But that's just me.... I also understand it's tuff cutting the umbilical..

I have when I spilled fuel on a CB750 tank.... Since yours is used you never can tell what's happen in the past. Might even be a repaint...

I would think the extended warantee would cover mechanical breakage, not cosmetics or normal wear.... But you never know?? Good luck...

Several members have glued a dime on the cover to put more presure on the plug, rather than replace them, with good success...

Another excersize in creativity.... Over the years there have been a ton of those vehicles designed, and I haven't seen one appear commercialy yet. Well OK maybe the 'Bat Mobile'... That said, a V4 stuffed into that thing would be a hoot.....

I don't condone any racial prejudices, but after searching the web, I found very little coverage on the Oberlin/KKK incidence. Mainly Huffington Post. More on racial graffiti at Oberlin. I wonder with all the cell phone cameras no one took a pic of the perp??....

Hmmmm??... I haven't won a trailer lately. Me thinks I'll have to partake this time around...

Maybe this'll help.

I hate headlights that are burning those blue 6000K lamps. They flat hurt my eyes. MOF I think California has made them illegal unless they were OEM. The driver may think he's cool, but the oncoming traffic get's blinded. I'd rather see them develop an LED that has something around tunston 3400K. I'm all for the idea of LED headlights for our bikes. I just picked up 2 Sears LED 1000lum flashlights in an auction, and when I fired them up they made my 160lum tacticals looks like a match. I'm affaid to stand in front of one....

How did this thread turn into a primer on the rebuild [ad nausium] of the evil second gear issue of the '83-'85.5's???? Actually I'd like to see a registry of all years listing partial vin#'s starting with the letter/owner and state. That would give a pretty good idea of the number of V's built per year....

:sign yeah that:Absolutely do NOT. In Cody we had just two members mention Raffle in the message section and were nailed. We got'r done, but it was a PITA.....

Zero. I've bought a few, but I've never won any....
