    Outstanding.... Brad, when you see him tell 'm Condor needs to order a tape deck plate...

    I'm familiar with the Race Tech Imulators, but ran across this info on another board, and found it very interersting. Anyone here gone this route?? I'm thinking the Ricor Valve, plus the ease of installation, along with a set of Progressives just might be a great way to go. They are pricy but not much different from the Race Tech's..

    Thanks for the bit of Venture Lore Greg. I didn't realize that the UK Venture was so limited. It might have been mentioned in the past, but if it was, I missed it....

    When I rebuilt the Bubbs I used Ceramic packing. The original fiberglass... or whatever Bubb uses... was completely gone when I took them apart, and the previous owner was complaining that they were too loud. So far I've put around 4000 miles on them and with the Ceramic they seem to be holding the decibels. Nice rumble at idle, a little bark when hitting it, and hardley noticable while cruising down the highway. I picked the Ceramic up from an Ebay seller.

    I wouldn't waste my time changing the rear Dan. It'll work just fine with the R1's.... I R1..U12?

    Hmmm?? I thought you were asking me if I knew how to use the front brakes?? My bad, guess I was mistaken. Can't answer for anyone else.... can you??

    The '86 already has 4 piston calipers, and they don't realy need any help.... unless you want to add those cool looking blue or gold 'dots' with the R!'s...
  8. Condor
    Yep that too... Goes without saying, I'm still here.... Any more 'Yes buts' out there???

    The '86-'93 Venture 1300 was not sold in the UK??? Wow!! That's a tid bit of info I was not aware of.....

    I never could get use to Heel/Toe floor boards on the '91 so pulled them off and sold them. I also got rid of the H/T shifter on the '99.

    Just thinking a bit here... but harmonics will loosen bolts over a period of time... It could come from tire tread, or the final or?? You may have put the bolts on and after 3 days they finally worked their way out. If you had left them out originally the problem would have started emediately. Probably not torqued down enough. You might want to pull them out again a put a dab of Loc-Tite on them to make sure... I think??

    No I haven't Gary. Never found the need to try one. However, I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years with seperate rear brakes, and am actually pretty good at controlling rear brake pressure in a panic stop on many different bikes before ever riding a linked '83 Venture. I finally did go to the R1/HH/MKII mod, and the improvement over the '83 OEM was like night and day, and I didn't touch the rear brake or either master. Granted the R1 mod is more money than de-linking, but with de-linking all you've really done is doubled up on front braking with poor calipers. Doing both may be to the point of over kill. Like brakes that are too weak they can be too touchy as well.

    R1 calipers, and HH pads, with MKII forks would have made life even better without de-linking...

    It looks like it extends into the seating position quite a bit. Keep us posted on how it rides....
  18. Condor
    I saw those... Understand they are quite loud, and hope the hearsay is wrong... I went with a set of used Bubbs and rebuilt them. No one's asked me to go the rear on a group ride.... yet....

    I don't do anything special to a new tire. Avon's or E3's. Never thought much about it, and just ride. I imagine a few right and left hand turns around the block will scuff them up a lot more than using sand paper.

    On the rear shock, there's a rebound adjuster that will sometimes take care of the bounce. It's located on the left side back around the passenger peg. It has 1-4 settings. Don't jump from 4 to 1. It's sequencial. 1-2-3-4-3-2-1. That may help?? If not brace yourself when you price a new rear shock. On the AD's, I just left mine connected, but if you want to spend the bucks, a couple of plates from Skydoc17 will work.

    Yep... had a motor in it too...

    That happened a lot when I was a kid. Never with linked brakes.... Anybody high sided with de-links..... yet.....
  23. Condor
    Yep, that's max pressure in the front forks and 71 psi in the rear of a 1stGen. That's using the Auto/High Class setting. Not sure if it can be exceeded manually, never tried. 17 and 71 always seemed high enough.

    Just trying to see if you were paying attention.....
