    Thanks guys... I sure would have missed that one. Just called my local Y dealer, and the kid quoted me $8.11 ea. out the door. Boatparts has them at $4.74 ea plus shipping. Think I need to do a little online shopping.

    The ignition cluster is held on by two bolts that can be reached using a long...14".. 1/4 drive extension and going up through the steering head area. There's a mass of wires to snake through but it can be done. To reinstall go buy a couple of hex head screws. Makes it easier to get the screw started again.

    I'm about ready to start swapping out the fin covers for a set of blacks, and after reading about coolant leaks coming from under the covers I thought I'd go ahead and do a little PM and order new gaskets. After looking at the parts schematic I'm confused. It shows something called a Damper Engine Mount. #37 and #40. And they sure don't look like a seal to me. Are these things rubber, and do they seal anything??

    Joe, Do you know if he did the gear swap himself?? I did talk to the folks who did Freebird's and they shot me a trade/offer involving them keeping the RSV gears and V-Max housing. After thinking about it it's sounding better and better.

    I'm not even going to comment on this..... :rotf:

    Thanks Squeeze. Wasn't sure if it was press fit or threaded. Yep, if it isn't plugged up it'd let all the dark out.... The older V-Max Final has the stud hack sawed off. Not a bad job, but still not good. May have to drill, and use an easy out. Not delusional although I do halucinate occassionally. I've noticed that the '99 goes just as fast... maybe even a little faster... then the '91.... when coasting down a long grade in neutral.

    Why not the real thing......

    If the entire gear train were swapped out from one housing to another, and the backlash were OK in the original housing, what would cause the BL to go out of adjustment if the housing are machined within tolerances.... ?? Although it would be nice to swap them out, I do have another V-Max final that has the shock stud lopped off, and would work on a 1stGen Venture. Maybe a little machining for the speed sensor might be an option to fit it to a 2ndGen??? Thank's for the .pdf's.... They helped.

    I might not either, that's why the questions. On the backlash, I wonder if plasti-gauge could be used to check engagement depth?? Also wonder what the special tool(s) could be??? I don't want to screw anything up either....

    We're having some freaky weather lately, and I think it's due to ocean temps rising a couple of degrees over normal. With Japan moving 13 feet closer to the Pacific Coast, it's probably opened up fissures making for a big El Niño... It only take a couple of degrees to mess things up. Right now Hawaii is running a couple of degrees warmer..... HAWAII OCEAN TEMPS

    Has anyone here swapped out the gears from a V-Max final with a 2ndGen final, and if so is it much of a hassle? Second. Is the stud in the V-Max final for the left shock easily removable? Here's the deal. I have spares of each and thought I'd swap out the gears and have a low geared RSV final, and a sellable high geared V-Max final to offset some of the costs, and I'll still have the original on the '99 to keep as a spare.

    For anyone coming or going east, to or from, Cody it looks really cool, but for a day ride out of Cody, during the rally, it might be a little too far. The map sez 314 miles one direction. DEVILS TOWER

    Devils advocate here. It's one thing to be noticed, and another to blind oncoming traffic. Even LED headlights in a car hurt my eyes. Try looking directly into an LED flashlight sometime. That kind of a display will sure mess up my driving ability. Thump...Thump.... Oooops, what was that?? Didn't see the motorcycle officer, I was blinded by a UFO.....

    OK I stand corrected. The '85's are kinda an odd duck.... Maybe we should call 'm a MKI.V??

    I'm DONE!

    Heck, we don't even have an Advance Auto within 100 miles...... If it's the DEKA EXT18L at that price I'd take 6 or so.... just because... and all the 1st Gens around here.... Too bad they aren't doing the ETR20L....

    I know this is an old post Steve but all questions deserve an answer. Better late than never... The fuel access doors are keyed on the MKI's (83-85) and The gas cap is keyed on the MKII's (86-93)

    The top rail of my trailer is about 3' off the floor, and I use a Canyon Dancer on the grips, and since my wheel chock is a couple of 2x4's I strap the front wheel snug up to the front wall. 2 lines off the rear keeps the back wheel from moving around.

    Whew!!! Thanks for digging that info out. Feel better now, and will cancel the psych appointment.....

    Coulda swore that when I took the weights off my '99 I had to use a hex wrench to get them off, and those were the same type?? Guess not?? Halucinating again...

    My '99RSV has this style..... which sounds like what fits an RSTD??

    The controller on the '91 took me 3 solderings before the E4 finally disappeared.

    Here's what I'll end up doing first thing.... Install Speed-Bleeders. Then on the left front before pumping up the caliper to apply the new pads, I leave them pressed into the caliper. This accomplishes two things. #1 it makes the caliper cavity smaller, and #2 it makes it easy to pump clear fluid through the line without having to pump/crack/pump..etc.. Once the air is out of the lines then close off the bleeder and pump up the pads. Same thing with the back brake. Always start with the bleeder farthest from the master. This will also work with the front right brake.
