Cut down windshield
Condor replied to BigBoyinMS's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Here's a YouTube video of a windshield being cut down. Pretty good info. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQj05Db-C3c]YouTube - How We Cut Down a Bike Windshield[/ame] -
Pulling them isn't a big problem. Stopping them is.... Just a thought...

1st gen (83-86) flasher circuitry

Yikes!! At $23 bucks a pop I think one of the others LED types would do, or stick with the tungston 2357 or 2356..... -
Looking forward to riding some of that same area based on the east side of Yellowstone next year when we get together in Cody Wy in September. Nice pics.

Yeah, I tried to conjure up a hood out of cardboard, coated with Plasti-Dip rubberized spray. Attached it with velcro. It was a PITA. This one looks a lot better...

Got the care package Earl. Many thanks.

Thanks for the link. I have a unit that flat disappears in daylight. My only thought about the shade is that I noticed it's made for internal antennas, and mine has a small flat tab that flips out from the back. I wonder if they make one to accomodate these models??

While coming back from FtCollins last year in 105+ temps the seat did get a little warm after about 6-7hrs in the saddle, but for the most part I never have a problem with the saddle getting to hot to ride.... Hmmmm.....

Front wheel wobble
Condor replied to Dragonslayer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
A couple of other things could be the tire is not mounted correctly, the rim is tweeked out of round, and the tire tread pattern might not be true. -
Well.....?? No chrome, no GPS, nothing bike related... The girls bought me a box of truffles, and everyone in the family chipped in and bought me a new robe. I thought my old robe was just fine, even if the thing was getting a personality all it own, but the family'd been staying up wind of me lately, and I shoulda sensed something was pulling RANK!!....

Most of the time it's the Drain Valve. It leaks overnight, when it gets cold, just sitting there. Replace the 'o' ring and it'll stop. The '83 has been doing it for a couple of years now when the overnight temp drops to around 35degs, and around here the temp rarely get that low . I haven't done anything about it because it's not leaking all the time, and never during the summer. It's on the one-of-these-days to-do list...

Hmmm.... Enchaladas, Chilli Rellenos, Spanish Rice, Refritos, Tamales, y Banana Cream Pie!!!!

Yeah...saw that Bob. Only one bid.. your's!! You did good, but it just goes to show that with the economy being in the dumpster folks are just not spending any money for anything. That Speedo would have brought a lot more in past times. I think that's another reason why it's been slim pickin's on Ebay lately. I don't think I'm any different than anybody else, and I have some nice items I'll be listing for auction, but right now I'm not going to toss them on Ebay and have them sell for half what they're worth. I'm going to wait until things get more favorable. How does it feel to own a Venture with '0' miles on it....

Great looking pup. Congradulations. Is he AKC?? At least he'll go get'm. My Shorthair was great to hunt pheasants over, but in a blind she'd look at me and think...Why should I get it...You shot it...

I'm hoping that the graphics haven't been on the sides for very long. The trailer looked fairly new, but I never did look for a born-on date. It also looks like the thing had been stored inside the warehouse so hopefully the uneven UV fade isn't going to be a factor. Some graphics are like decals and applied to a soapy surface. Some have adhesive backing and stuck on a prepped dry surface. Heat and Goof Off will probably be the answer if it's the later. I did try to see if I could peal up a corner, but it was on there pretty tight. If nothing works I can always just paint the graphics black, and leave it go at that. I won't be picking up the trailer until Friday. So lots of time to think about it.

Yep, kinda looks that way. I just checked the Pace website and a couple of Pace dealers for prices and the thing sells new for around $3100 , and that's before taxes, and registration fees. It does have some business advertising on the sides that's barely visiable in the pic. Looks like it's a cloth material of some sort. It's conna be interesting to see what will work to remove it without destroying the finish. May have to break out the paint spray gun in the near future???

Previewed an auction Monday and the only thing they had that I was even mildly interested in was a 6x12 Pace American Trailer. I wasn't into Bounce Houses and party favors so didn't want to come back for just the trailer.. Put in an absentee bid on the trailer of a grand. I didn't think it would fly, but what the heck! Got a call from the folks yesterday afternoon that the bid flew and I now own another trailer, and am sorta broke... More storage room.. .. Here's a pic...

I remember that auction. Earlier this year and it was only for the right side NOS. Hess4less had it. He also had a front right upper fairing with one on it. The '91 was dropped on the right side and the cover was never replaced so I have a good left, but no right. I thought cool!! and put a rediculously... for me... high snipe bid on it because I really needed it, and they were rarer than chicken lips. No one else would be so foolish... Yeah...Sure!! I was outsniped by a bidder in Europe that goes by the Ebay name of Hellslaus. I've run into this guy before on Ebay. If the item is NOS he'll go to the moon to own it. I don't think he needs the stuff, but is stockpiling. So Dan, if you ever get anything made, I'd be interested too. And BTW the attachment tape can usually be found at an auto paint supplier. I bought a roll of the stuff, and it's very good.
