    Take a look at the Garmin c550 Streetpilot. Has everything you need and does a great job. I own 2. Looks just like the Zumo. I picked them up off Ebay in like new condition. One for $80 and the other for $55. Bluetooth to link to your cell, MP3 that can be plugged into the aux jack by the tape deck, and a GPS... Waddda deal....

    You can get to the back of the speakers by taking out the turn signals to check the speaker plugs. Might be the first place to look... Also remove your radio cluster and clean the contacts underneath the controls. They have a tendency to get a little grody... You also need to add the year of your Venture to the sig line under your handle, or mention it in you post so we don't have to guess or go to your CP file to find out.

    That happened to me while runing along the Sacramento River a few years ago. I went into a blind right curve, got about half way thru it, and an SUV had crossed over the center line cutting the corner. I had to lay the bike farther over and pray it would stay stuck to the road. That's about the time I fell in love with Avon Venoms. I missed that dam car by inches... Took a few minutes to get the heart started again....

    Agree'd. Don't back them off until they fall out, but do back them off a few turns. IF a PO has tried to set the idle using the #4 sync screw the whole sync will be screwed up and the carbs will be next to impossible to resync. You really don't need to get into the venturies. Just back off all the synch screws and start from scratch.....

    The trick is to not ride in the rain, and to stay out of the oily center of the lane if you can't... Glad you came out of it only slightly dented Rick....

    Have you checked your diaphragms yet?? And adjusted the idle jet screws??

    The other alternative might be to sell the bike in Calgary and be done with it. By the time he factors in the costs to ship it, and what he could get out of it, he could buy another locally... unless it's sentamental...

    Not that I'm aware of... I'm just lucky I guess.....

    Yeah.... Mine is the self canceling type too. It'll stay out until the r's pick up and then starts to work it's way back in.... I've looked but can't find a place to increase drag, so just live with it...

    Sorry Zane, I interpreted your post to read that you also had to swap out the MKI AD's to the MKII forks.... My bad....

    CUTE......

    Air in the line....

    You can't swap out the AD's. The MKI's are hydralic and the MKII's are electrical. When I changed mine to the MKII's I left the AD's on but didn't wire them up. Progressives and the CLASS took care of any 'diving' when hitting the brakes...

    If everything is dead...no signs of life... You may have blown the main fuse??

    Tried the link and got an 'item removed' notice. So I guess it's a done deal. The set I put on the '83 I didn't even have to change the pads. They worked fine. 'Course anything that helped on the '83 was an improvement....

    I picked up a set of mint Blue Dots with the stainless lines for $40 bucks. If the lines will fit I'll put them on the '99... No way they'll fit a MkI... Actualy if I remember correctly I have a rear that has a stainless wandering around here somewhere??? BTW both of the R1 calipers wil fit in a medium flat rate box @ $15 bucks to ship. Don't let them get to ya....

    I'm not sure on the '85 either, but if if it does have 4 piston front calipers they should be plug and play. I usually just replace the fronts, and leave the rear alone. I've picked up several really nice front sets off Ebay for $40-$50 bucks. Blue dot or Gold... doesn't make much difference. $100 for the 3 sounds a little steep. I'd do a search daily when looking, and eventually someone lists a set that really wants to sell them. They are not a rare item. Look at THESE. Do an Ebay search for R1 Calipers or R6 calipers.
