Well..... Vic spells it with two B's... Sorry about the extra t. I originally spelled it Eliot but it didn't look right... So I was half right.... and better than being half fast...
-
I'll give that a try....

Wobble recovery?
Condor replied to alvald83's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Already in. Check the 1stGen parts classified for all the info.... Generally the wobble or shake comes from the forks responding at different rates. This generally can be caused by tired springs. The fork brace will get them working together, but in the end run Progressives will make things much better.... -
Yesterday some of the O.F.'s in NorCal got together for the first time in too long of a time. Steve (SteveD..aka Hdhtr2000) Dubois and his wife Michell were in town for the first time in 3 years to visit kids and GK's. So what better excuse needed to get together with the old crew. Vic (LoneEagle) Tibs, Rick (EasyRider) Bray and wife Doris, Rich (Rich99) Elliot, and Yours Truly.. , met up at Steve's daughter Bree's house, and headed off the Red Robin for bugers. We had a great time and the laughing never did seem to stop. We had a few group photos taken in front of the house by Bree which will be posted later. This one was sent to me this morning by Rich99. We gotta do this again...

Anyone have a left over 2ndGen OEM Venture line LED light bar template and wiring instructiions still laying around. Bought a NOS bar locally but the paper work was long gone. I could probably figure it, out and make a template, but thought I'd try this first....

Ran into this auction on Ebay this morning. Can't believe someone would be stupid enough to even list them, and.... someone else would be stupid enough to bid on them. NGK's

WOW!!

In reading your post are you saying it slips a lot when it's cold and only a little when it heats up?? 'Cause that's generally the opposite of how a slipping worn clutch will react. You may have other issues..... that rebuilding the basket won't cure....

Have you tried highlighting just the statement part of the page you want and check print 'selection' in the printer setup rather than the whole webpage?? Or.... is there a printer 'friendly' option on the statement page??

I love my point and shoot.... For those that have been bitten by the photo bug, eventually you will too..... I used to own more Nikon Equipment than I care to admit. Somewhere around 50K-60K worth. The problem that I ran into was I needed a pack mule to carry the stuff around. So everytime I went on vacation I only took the minium, and even that was too much. Carrying and worrying about an expensive camera was a chore when trying to enjoy a trip. Back in '89 my wife and I left for 6 weeks and circumnavigated the US. I took everything with me packed in a tool box in the bed of the truck. Plus one Leica CL point'n'shoot. I burned up a brick of film while away. 19 rolls of slide film with the Leica, and 1 roll on the flightline of Homestead AFB with the 'big' stuff. That's when I dicided that all that equipment was an anchor, and fell in love with point and shoots. It wasn't long after that digital cameras started to appear. More of a play toy in the begining. I started with a CASIO and very few pixels... and the images reflected it....., but I could download them to pentium 3 computor. I finally popped for a Nikon Coolpix with 1 meg resolution and I still own it. Since then I've probably owned a half dozen different digital point and shoots all the while climbing the mega-pixel ladder to my latest. A Lumix/Leica DMZ-PS6 14mp that I'll hold up to any SLR out there. It fits in my pocket, is readily accessable, and it cost me about $150 bucks off WOOT. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind about buying an SLR if you feel it will give you better pics, because it probably will, but just saying that there are other alternatives out there. Been there... Done that....

1st Gen mufflers
Condor replied to Iowa Guy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
That's cool. Looks like someone is making aftermarkets again for the 1stGen's.... http://www.nichecycle.com/ -
The Gamo Silent Cat 22, or the Ruger Blackhawk .177 cal. Air Rifle with 4x32 mm Scope. Shop around and you can find them for around $100. But nothing comes close to an old Sheridan 5mm Pump....

I don't think or blockage rust is an issue on a 2005. Have you tried removing the bleeder valve completely and forced fluid back up the line to the reserve? Sometimes even a 1/2 turn will not open the valve up enough to get thigns flowing. I'm sending you a PM. BTW are you using DOT 4 or DOT 5??

In 2012 we'll have been in this house 40 years and I think we've replace the disposal 3 times. Ditto on the tossing rice, bones, or lots of food in it. Just use it for the dregs off the plates.

Geeze... Touchy.

That's my thinking too....

This may be a good reason to stick with IE 7Pro.... I've almost pulled the trigger on upgrading, now I'm glad I didn't...

Hi Kev. Yeah, with a little smoozing they should fit right behind the passenger board on the bag guard on a MKII. It looks like the top velcro will need to be cinched up pretty tight, and there's not much room between the bag and the board, so your passenger might need be aware.... The big problem will be finding a set. This is the only set I've ever seen on Ebay, and from what I can gather Hopnel has closed up shop. Maybe Nancy at ACE HIGH Leathers could pick up the ball??? They are very roomy and will hold a lot of 'stuff'....
-
That's what I kinda thought. Got any pics??
-
I'll check for fit a little later this afternoon Kev... after the fog burns off... They might fit the '90?? And they were listed as coming off a '99RSV, but that doesn't mean that they were originally made for a Venture, or may have been 'adapted'....
-
Just about any farm supply/saddlery will carry it. I've been using it for years. The '83VR had a custom leather saddle and I used it a lot.....

A few weeks ago I found a set of Hopnel accessory bags listed on Ebay. They were double ugly but I went ahead and bid on them anyway.... and I got them cheap.. After receiving them I used Farnam's Leather New on them. I wasn't sure if they were leather or nauga hide, but figured what the H.. Below are the Before and After pics. They came out pretty nice... They came off a '99RSV so now all I have to do is figure out where they were mounted??

The place is getting a lot of press lately. I just watched a segment of 'Hairy Bikers' where they rode the Dragon and had a BBQ at Deals...

My bad. I thought a XVZ13 was a Venture...
