Nope... The FCC screen appears at the end of the tape, but at least the Star Wars tapes gave me no problem. I even checked the playback of the .mpg file. Worked perfect.

About a week ago I saw this WOOT item that converts older VCR tapes into .mpg files on the computor. It'll also burn the file to a DVD compatable. And the price was $29.95. So since we have a lot of classic tapes, I said 'what the heck' and bought one. It's basically a VCP with a USB plug, and some pretty neat software. ION VCR 2 PC And it works!! The only problem I'm finding with it is it doesn't work very fast. I basically have to view and record the tape in real time, but I can still let it to it's thing in the background while surfing. I just got through converting Star Wars 3 tape series.

Didn't I read somewhere that you can't use the OEM weights?? And from the pics it looks like there isn't any support under the section that broke off??? I thought the grips were stainless, usually pretty tough stuff... I have a set of the same design highway pegs on the '83 and the '93. With my clod hoppers maybe I should start getting worried???

I donno?? I was just going by the quote you attached to your post from warthogcrewchief. He has an '89, and was the one mentioning the R1's from Earl... Sorry for the misunderstanding.... -
Not on the MKII's Gary. The R1's are plug and play....

From what I can gather from this website there are only 10 questions required by law to be answered. http://2010.census.gov/2010census/how/interactive-form.php Don't know where the 48 questions come from unless you have 20 kids???

Thanks for the info and the posts guys. The '83 has been getting clunky lately. Looks like I have another project..... Does it ever end???
-
I think they base it on the number of people filing for unimployment so retired folks aren't counted in the mix.. A better question would be how many are still looking, but their unemployment has run out..... I bet you could almost double the percentage..??

FM is normal. You may have a bad connection on the multi plug under the unit. You get to the plugs by removing the board that holds the radio and tape deck. Once unlocked they lift straight up out of the outer plastic. Get some electrical contact cleaner and spray the 'H' out of them.

The MKII seat will fit...snugly. The MKII passenger seat is wider. A MKI will fit any year. The back rests are designed for either the MKI or MKII. The Venture Line Rest looks the same but the brackets are different.

My Field Shear mesh with liner is very comfortable at 35 degs. Not bad for a mesh.

It's done with mirrors and Mojo..... Actually it didn't make sense to me either, and after reading the Ride-On explaination it still didn't make any sense to my Vulcan brain, but I guess it does...

I've never used Dyna-Beads, but I suspect that the test run by MCN was faulty. I know that with Ride-On, which also has balancing properties, they say to balance the tire statically first and then let RO 'fine tune' the balance. I know first hand this works. By removing the tire weights and trying to balance the tire with only the beads might be where they screwed up. I don't see how a tire can be balanced the way they ran the test unless the tire was perfectly balanced to begin with. There are just too many positive feedbacks for the MCN test to be creditable.

We held the National at Ft Collins, Co. in July'07. Most of the local canyon riding was T-Shirt except for the very high passes thru Estes Park. Temps were very warm. Your reg riding jackets should be fine. -
En Gard Buddy...... :rotf: I've always wondered why they made that removable panel above the CLASS on MKI's. I think the '83 panel was even made that way?? The OEM CB may very well have been an option in '85, but since the Royale was supposted to be loaded from the git-go I wonder why that was?? Anyway, it's not that important. If you have an OEM in Goldie then the '85's had them. The only constant difference between the Royale and the Standard...through all the years.... was the CLASS system.
-
A previous owner may have installed an OEM CB and board in yours before you bought it Bob. The boards parts are interchangable. I was planning on installing one in my '83 and just might still do it when I get energized. The problem I had was finding that MKII piece that flipped up to get to the overflow and the surrounding face. Now I have several... BTW, I just drug out an 83-85 Service Manual and there is no mention of a CB.
-
QualComm...or something like that.... put out an aftermarket CB for the MKI's that fit in the right side board above the CLASS system, and they were wired to work with the intercom and speakers. I see them show up on Ebay every once in a while. I don't believe the OEM CB's started until '86. A standard can have an OEM radio/tape installed as an option. MOF most standards I've seen already have the speakers installed at the factory even though there isn't a radio. That's why you run into standards that have the radio, but no CLASS. The CLASS was the only absolute difference between the Royale and the Standard. The labels on the covers over the years have gotten mixed up because of replacement. My '83VR has a XVZ12 label on the trunk for that reason. Same holds true for tank covers.

Rest...not massage...

Don't care how you want to ratiionlize it, those two bush OT calls cost the Vikes the game. Now 'nuff's been said..... "Go Jets"............

Broke a *%&!##$ Valve cover bolt
Condor replied to Sheradan's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
That's my thinking. If it's just the bolt head you might have enough room to get a stud puller in there to remove it after getting the cover off. -
Let's face it, it's only biz. There are a lot more Harleys out there then any other bike. If you're fishing for biz, it's best to toss your lure into a pond with the most fish....

I picked up a Field Shear mesh jacket with liner off Ebay for $60 bucks. New with tags. Like it a lot and have used it on some really hot rides. I'm sure the other mesh's are equally as good. Shop around... mesh is mesh, I don't care what fancy name they put on it.. Protective padding may differ.

I don't have a back rest on the '83, but..... I do have one of those duffle bags that when stuffed full of clothes for a 10 day trip... makes a dandy back rest when stowed in the passenger seat. I think it makes the most comfortable back rest anyone can have. Couldn't do a 600 mile day without something back there.
