    A one piece for a horizontally challenged rider is just what I need. And... being a one piece is what I'm after. Riding an OEM two piece doesn't allow me to get back off the tank far enough. I think I'll check Russel too... .Just checked the Day Long site and the pic for the RSV shows a 2-piece. I'll have to call.... I can see that would be a problem, but mine's covered any time I'm in a motel. The cover actually did get rained on once....

    Too bad they don't have one to fit the RSV. After looking at what they did to the transition from the rider to the passenger on the RSTD I'd have been interested to see what they would have done for the RSV. I'm still looking around to possibily pick up another seat. Thought about riding down to Corbin and have them build one while I wait.

    That's the PITA part. Some get lucky...some get very frustrated....some actually know how to do it....

    Gun Club

    Condor replied to Sailor's topic in Watering Hole

    It's all about $.... The developer will increase the taxable base a lot more than the gun club. Eminent Domain.

    Yes and no. If you know what you're doing it's a piece of cake, but if you've never done it before it can be daunting. Don't ask me how I know that.... There are several places beside the clutch slave that could be causing the dreaded puddle. To get to the slave cavity you'll need to remove the middle gear cover, and quite possibily need a new gasket, and if you're lucky you might be able to spot the cause. To light things up behind the cover a mirror will make light of things. Just bounce the suns rays in there....

    It monitors the lighting. In the case of the head light it lets the rider know that the head light needs replacing and switches over to another circut for the high beam. That's if there are no cold solder joints in the CMU, which is generally the case in 99.9% on the time. Just like the CLASS system board. The bikes get old and aren't going to last forever without maintenence... Just like us... Vibration and age will take a toll....

    Like I previously posted 3M 5200 will stick to anything, remain pliable, and is bullet proof. We use it to mount deck hardware on boat decks. Just make sure you have the part where you want it...'cause once it sets you ain't gonna move it later on. As far as putting an aluminum ply on a sheet of plywood I'd run a bead around the edge and a few dots around the middle surface. It won't move. I'd also use it to caulk the seams. There isn't a product on the market that will do as good of a job............

    Follow the link I just posted..... OK for some reason the link doesn't work as advertised... It will take you to the main tech board. Do a search for CMS... their CMU... and it should come up.

    My '83 had the same problem, and I planed on resoldering the CMU, but I picked up a mint dash and swapped the whole dash out. Everything worked great afterwards.... I'm positive the CMU needed to be fixed. The link above is off the other Venture board. http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/index.php?action=article&cat_id=001007&id=249

    My late wife and brothers-in-law were Goose Brats. Great bunch of 'kids'. I actually enjoyed her high school reunions more than my own... Have a great trip....

    Go invest in some Speed-Bleeders. You'll be happy you did, and the next time you bleed the brakes it'll be a piece of cake. Don't forget to replace the rear brake and clutch valves as well.....

    It's been a while since I laughed this much the first thing in the morning. Every time I looked at this pic I have to chuckle..... Look at those two guys looking at each other. http://images.politico.com/global/2012/09/biden_bikers_605_ap.jpg Cruisers Diner in Seaman, Ohio

    If you have a standard Venture it's for airing up the front forks. There's also a bleeder for the brakes in there, but it isn't a schrader valve.....

    15 ftlbs sounds about right. Ya gotta be carefull to not snug them down too much. You're dealing with an 8mm Stainless fastener in aluminum threads with a lot of side torque applied to them when riding. You don't want to rip the threads out of that fork.... The 6mm cap screws that hold the side covers on the engine call for 10 ftlbs.

    That's a motley crew if there ever was one.....

    Corroded kill switch.... funky side stand switch... loose neutral safety switch.... When trying to isolate an intermitant problem, don't wiggle a bunch of stuff before seeing if the problem goes away.... One at a time....

    Not Again.

    Condor replied to Marcarl's topic in Watering Hole

    Just a question. Where the H does the $5 bucks go??? The SAF fund?? Way back in the beginning, before there were any supporting members, the dropped bike kitty was a neat way to raise some cash, along with personal donations, to offset some of the out of pocket expenses Don incurred maintaining this board. Now with all the supporting members I don't think it's really needed any longer. Just the embarrassment of dropping your bike should be enough.... unless of course you like to pay penance. I don't...
