Tire Question-
Condor replied to Mark Koontz's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I've been running Avon Venoms and really like the handling, but..... I think I'm going to try a set of Michelin Commanders the next time around. I'm getting tired of dealing with sidewall cracks. -
What about a set of those little round blind spot stick on mirrors. Would that help?? I've seen some really small ones on Venture mirrors, but haven't found a source. But then again I haven't been looking very hard either...

Fork brace group buy....
Condor replied to Condor's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Rick, I sent you an email asking for your mailing address using the email address in the paypal notice. There wasn't a shipping in the paypal notice, and I didn't realize it until after I started printing up the labels. Never got a response, and then I just plain forgot to follow up. Guess I should have PM'd you?? PM me your shipping address, and I get it right out. Most of the others have already received theirs. Only takes 3 days for the US. Sorry about the oversight. -Jack -

Which antifreeze to use?
Condor replied to safetyguy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

Uh..... Geeze, I thought I said it was going to have a V4. And I thought we were brain storming about what a new Venture might look like??? My bad....

I picked up an older Coveralls that I thought was a full cover, but when I pulled it out of the bag to store the scoot overnight on VWIV in San Luis Obispo it turned out to be a half cover. Got it on the '83 and you could have played a tune on it it was so tight. The next morning it rained for about an hour... whoda thunk... and the bike stayed nice and dry. Hardley takes up any room in the saddle bag...

ant splitter
Condor replied to wild hair 39's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I'm not absolutely sure Lowell, but I think that adjuster on the splitter is for the radio??? The CB antena will need to be tuned by itself. I've seen some CB ants. that are preadjusted but the wire lead is too long for a bike. Maybe the CB antena set up from a Venture will work without messin' with the antena length??? -
As long as we're all guessing, here's my thought. A Stratoliner S with the new fuel injected 1700 V4. All accessories are an option, and easily installed by the dealer. Intertainment cluster, Navagation cluster, Cruise cluster, etc.....

Sounds like your permantly dropping a cylinder, but it only shows up under heavy loads. Could be a lot of things. Bad plug wire, plug, fuel starvation.....???

Don't ya just love it when you buy something from one of these online companies and the credit card charge hits your account almost instantaneously, but when it comes to issuing refunds it takes damn near forever.

Don't know much about the VCAN 210, but that CostCo price is the cheapest I could find. One thing that would worry me is that if VCAN is dumping the 210 to CostCo, are they in trouble financially, and going to be around for any warantee issues that might crop up??

Help.... will not run
Condor replied to cookieman's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
No battery should pull down to 3.? volts while cranking. Sounds like you have a weak battery and possibily a stator that isn't putting out to keep it runing???? -
I'm wondering, after looking at the pic, if the same thing would hold true when running at higher speeds in the twisties. On a moderatly slow curve I can see where the CT would have a larger foot print than the Moto tire, but once it climbs up on the edge in sharper turns at higher speeds that contact strip will decrease dramatically while a Moto tire will give a constant contact patch thruout a higher speed turn... While this may hold true I can also see if a rider does most of his riding on the slab, the tire wear will be much greater on the CT...

Yep we all get it if we hang around long enough. Hope everything turns out OK. Prayers.....

What an awesome pic the first one is.... That second is just plain ugly....
