    Unless you can put a time limit on a forum post, or include classifieds in the new post email notification, or sort button, I don't think there's an adiquate answer to the problem Don. BTW you might as well add 'Seen on Ebay' posts to your effort.

    So where's the AVI sound bite???

    Or Engine Temp and Volts/Amps..... ????

    Nope, too much riding for this old guy.... Is your choke set with a button slide on the bottom of the LH control, or is it set by rotating a disc in front of the grip??

    You might think about installing schrader valves in the lines leading to the rear shock and front forks. That'll get you back up where you belong. It doesn't make any difference what you paid for it, but if it won't operate properly you'd be better off parting it out.

    I like that......

    Thanks. Now we need to know if any of the colors ever came both ways, or whether they were model specific. I've never seen an '84 Gold Royale....
  8. Condor
    Maybe so. The pin stripping may hae been added by a PO. In '83 they only had Gold Royales and Red Standards, plus I think the Midnight. I was under the impression that they just swapped the colors for '84, as I have seen a gold '84 standard, and red royales. I own a red royale. I think the only way we'd be able to tell on this '84 is if it has the onboard compressor. It's definately been pieced together.

    The Bike's an enigma/conumdrum. Left counsel is from a standard with an aftermarket am/fm/cd. The right counsel is from a Royale with the CLASS control... it may not have the compressor?? The dash is an '84 with the green Venture Cruise on the speedo, but I'm not totally sure the standard came with cruise as an option?? Don't see the antenna or the left muffler....?????????? Obviously it's been repainted, but if there's any original paint left and it's Red/Maroon it originally was a Royale. If it's Gold it was a standard. Go figure....

    Nope it's all done with the monitor....

    Nah, I think you mean it's spɹɐʍʞɐɔɐ sɐq.... You didn't read all the text Thom..... I just stole Don's pic for future reference. Wish he had posted it when I had the same problem. Now I'm an Idle expert....

    Tragedy happens even while riding in the boonies. This happened yesterday in SoCal. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/11/14/california.motorcyle.accident/index.html

    There's a phillips screw just to the rear of the #3 carb on the right side. Attached is a pic of the right side, and that chrome cover over the carbs has a small cutaway in one corner. That's there so you can get to the screw. If you don't have the cover at least you have an idea of where it's located.... OK I just looked closely at the pic... not my bike... and the cover is on the wrong side. So picture it on the other side (right) and you get the idea....

    I have a set of K&N's waiting in the wings to be installed on the '99. Got 'm off Ebay for $60 on the doorstep. I run K&N's in all my bikes and have no complaints. Needed the foam seal replaced due to oil saturation on the '91 and contacted them. Got one in the mail N/C in about 3 days. Their aftermarket support is excellent.

    Yeah, what can I say.... I'm a wooose..

    That's the way I felt about it. I emailed the perp back and said that my son-in-law gave me a GPS so won't be needing his. Actually I just picked up another Street Pilot c550 off Ebay and it arrived the same day I stumbled across the Whistler ad. So all is good. The c550 has bluetooth, MP3, like new, and got it for $75 bucks on the doorstep. That little c550 is a great GPS. Almost makes me want to go out and buy another Venture to put in on.... NOT!!

    I'd also check with Jake Wilson Free shipping over $100

    Great price!! Ya should have given a heads up to the members. Was it a Motorola? Or??

    Take a ride up 101 north to Eureka. There are plenty of side trips on Hwy1, and you'll get to hug some of those big ol' Redwoods on the Avenue of the Giants. That should scratch the itch....

    They should have thought a little more on those saddlebags. The one thing I didn't like on the 1stGenMKI is the side loaders. PITA packing them. Otherwise it looks 'Coostem Guy'....

    What a bummer

    Condor replied to kbran's topic in Watering Hole

    That's the pits. Did you check with the station you last bought fuel at?? You might still get the wallet back...without the money. Folks will drop them into PO boxes, and eventually they'll find their way back home. It may take a while. If it fell out while riding it may never show up. With the wallet in the back pocket they'll start to work their way out while moving around in the saddle. I always take mine out and put it in a front pocket when riding.. I move around a lot....

    Well, got a call from the Sheriff's office today. A lot quicker than I would have expected. I planned on calling them Friday morning. We had a good chat, but the bottom line was that they probably won't be doing anything. They get 400-500 calls a week and only 6 detectives to work them. So they try to work on the majors, and mine was petty theft. We talked further and I said I had the guys name from a return email thru hotmail.com. He ran the name and the guy came up as a drug dealer and was on paroll. He got a little more interested and said they'd be looking into it. It might be the tip of the ice berg. He also asked that I stay away from the guy. He's not someone I'd want to meet. So it looks like something will happen after all. Whether I get the GPS back isn't that big of a deal. Heck, I've already replaced it with a better unit. I'd just like to see the guy put in a vise.

    Good idea, but too late now. The deed has been done....

    Be patient, they'll have more. I have bought 2 off WOOT. And they are getting cheaper, unlike a lot of other things. I generally go there every morning first thing to see what they're hawking for the day.
