    Sounds like that may be right up your alley......

    Tahoe would be a good choice if there wasn't so much traffic during the summer months. We did a day ride around the lake a few years ago and it was a zoo....especially the west shore... Things may have changed a bit since you were there last time?? Now if you want to eat, drink, and gamble, and not do any 2-wheel exploring it would be great....

    Vic..LoneEagle.. and I set that last one up in San Luis Obispo, along with locals Jack..Jercoupe.. and Bev.. in 2008. It was a combined effort of VR's and the Contra Costa Star group, and we did have fun.. Afterwards the Cody International took up most of our spare time, and the Venture West's were put on the back burner due to time constraints. Prior to Cody we had tossed around a few ideas for a Venture West, but nothing came to the planning stage. To be perfectly honest Cody flat burnt us out. I haven't touched bases with Vic lately, but am aware of his job load, and his commitment to being the President of the CC Star Riders that is taking up a lot of his time. I'm now recovering from major surgery and will be out of touring action for most of the winter/spring. So here's the rub. Somebody needs to step up and plan a Venture West for next summer. I did post a 'what if' over last summer about Susanville VW reunion and if I remember correctly got a lot of positive responses. Hey, it's a start....

    Here's a cople of pics of another members method of moving the trunk on his 1stGen back a few inches. Maybe this will give you an idea of what needs to be done....

    Man that was the best tricked out trike I've ever seen. I'm sure with your talents the replacement will end up just as nice.... Glad you're healing up and thinking about the next one....

    I can relate. Prayers offered up.

    Sorry I didn't respond to your post, but it's kinda tuff when in the hospital on a Kindle Fire. I put a Rivco stand on my '99 last year and never even remember seeing that canister...and it's a Ca bike. Maybe like Don said a PO removed it?? I did have to move a smog valve? mounted to the inside of the frame to the outside that was a PITA.

    Besides the battery you might check the starter ground...

    I've had that problem with a couple of new2me Ventures. I'll PM you a write up that worked for me.

    The style id really like to find is the one pictured on the H website attached to an RSV......

    I never thought id be saying this but life style changes have caused me to look for a sidecar.... ive really like the hannigan styling... but finding one used may be a problem..... any other suggestions???

    The ad for a new one is still in the classies under 1stGen parts. They were a few bucks more but 50 used is a decent price...@

    If all you're going to use it is a couple of weeks a year, and the rest of the time it'll sit, it's a great way to go. If you plan on dragging it 50 weeks and storing it 2, you might want to look for something a little higher on the robust scale....

    Don't know what to say.... Get well Larry.. Prayers sent and continuing.

    Loved that movie. Netflix also has it....

    Just a side note. I just shipped the last brace in stock about a month ago and since the 'need' has slacked off to.. 2-3 a year.., I may not order another 10... the minimum amount. I suppose if I were to get preorders for 6-8 I'd reconsider. And as Don stated previously these are not Super Braces, but well made and make a great improvement in handling for the 1stGen.

    Great shot Bill....

    Its still the best one out there... Check with Bohanon on price. You may do better..

    I think you'll find that those head hangers are cosmetic, and don't offer any structural support. Just leave them off. The 1stGen head doesn't have a place to mount them anyway...
  22. Condor
    Very interesting. I bet that place will be like a zoo for a couple of weeks in August....
  23. Condor
    Good idea if they weren't a pull/pull setup. Even if you slacked off on everything you still have to deal with the junction box. The best and only way in... MHO.... is to remove the carb assembly out the left side and then remove the cables. Install them before mounting the carbs. BTW I also find the wooden handle of a small ballpeen hammer a better tool to do any prying if need be...

    Risers???

    Thanks for the pics Mike. See how the back forms a wall up to the passenger seat? That's what I don't want. It doesn't allow any movement toward the rear. That's what I ran into with the pillow tops. Looks cushy, but forms a barrier, and for those of use that are tall and have extra padding in the butt area I keep pushing against that rise trying to gain some room, and on long rides it cuts off circulation... numb butt...blisters.. because I'm subconsciously trying to get back off the tank and gain some leg room. Attached is sorta what I'm looking for. I didn't have any problem with the saddle on my '83VR, and I've pulled a few 10 hr+ days on it.
