    In my 83 I have upgraded to the 86 up setup with a PIAA bulb and $20 driving lights and that is a great improvement from the 83 setup. RandyA

    Bob, I called you back yesterday evening and left a message, but did not get you. I have a stator and a rectifier out of an 83, but do not know if that is useable in a 99. You can also try Atlas Yamaha in Bristol at 276-669-6666 and Kingsport Cycles at 423-247-3847. These guys don't seem to carry much for our bikes. RandyA

    and the living is easy. Well, summer got here at 1:16pm EDT today, but, it feels like it has been summer for weeks with this hot weather we are having. Now, we get to look forward to the daylight hours to start getting shorter. RandyA

    We have had an absolutely wonderful evening so far. We ended up having Elmicko and his wife Glenda, SGN Steve and his two grandkids, Nightkawk Bill, My son Lil Venturous Brian and grandson Shane, Aussie Annie and Al and my lady Linda. We treated them to a southern meal of soup beans, corn muffins, slaw and fried potatoes, which was new to Annie. Linda also picked up a big box of chicken strips, which gave us a snack and fed the kids. The only downer was even though I had my camera within 5 feet of the dinner table, I absolutely forgot to take any pictures with everyone here. At the moment we are winding down having a variety of drinks and listening to all kind of neat stories. Here are a few pictures I just took. If you look real close, Annie is admiring the picture used in January of the 07 Venturerider calender. RandyA

    Been through there before and it is a nice ride. Don't like the Dragon name, but we also have "The Snake" locally also. RandyA

    He may have stated "best", but he did note improvements as plural. So, not sure where the grammer lesson should go. Actually, I think listing "best improvements" is more informative. RandyA

    It says the ones for the 1200's are out of stock, but they have ones for a 1300. The price is about $30 each, which is almost double what I paid for mine a few years ago. RandyA

    Did you put the holes in the front of the cover to add more air around the Rectifier? RandyA

    When I tried to mount the TCI on the airbox on my bike, it was tighter than I was comfortable with, even with the ears cut off and it against the battery box. I ended up mounting mine on the inside wall of the left fairing. I did not have to extend any wires and it has worked great so far. But, my bike is an MK1 standard with a radio/CD player mounted there and I don't know if an MK2 Royale has room in that area. RandyA

    For years I used a Cannon AE-1 film camera that I have from 24mm to 405mm lenses. I took a lot of pictures and felt I had a great deal of control of the pictures I took. Now, I have an L110 Nikon digital that takes good pictures, but even with all the different settings the camera has, I feel I have very little control of the camera. It also frustrates me that the camera does not always respond instantly to when I push the button. I must admit that I like the immediate view of the taken picture and the ability to load the picture on my computer and view it and send it around the world very quickly and the ability to delete the picture without burning film. But, I am still not happy with the general use if the Nikon. I hate to kind of "dumb down" on my photographs, but that seems to be the trend on many of the digitals. Do others also have this problem?

    I would unbolt it from the bottom and see if the added loose belt will allow it to release. RandyA

    I am still hoping to go, but at the moment, I just can not commit to it. RandyA

    When I was in High School in 68, I bought a 64 Chevelle, 327 four speed. I later bought a 65 that I put the engine/trans in and it had a 12 bolt 4:10 under it. I had put the interior in it out of a 72 Pontiac Grand Prix that was highback white buckets along with the door panels. That was a white car and real nice. I sure I had kept both of them. RandyA
  22. Venturous Randy
    Yep, I wish you could make it Craig. RandyA

    Not sure yet. At the moment I don't know if we will be grilling or go out or what. I should be home by 4pm unless I take a half day vacation Friday. I will keep you posted as I know more. I would love for you to come over and you have a place to stay if you wanted to spend the night. RandyA

    I would also bet that it is a lot cooler on top of the airbox. Keep in mind that you are being fed air that is mostly coming up from the tripple tree/battery area and under the cover. You will get a little from around the airbox, but mostly fresh air. I have a standard and have a CD mounted at 30 degrees tilted away from the wall at the bottom. This gives me better access to changing CD's and keeps it from being verticle. It also gave me plenty of room to mount the TCI on the wall inside the left fairing. I did put a little cover on it because I don't have any ductwork pulling air from the front of the bike to the lowers, as I don't run lowers. I also have small running lights mounted in my front vents and that probably restricts the air a little. So far, my setup seems to be working good for me and I bet mine is even cooler than on top of the airbox. I also don't have the stuff in the way if I want to take my airbox cover off. RandyA

    With Annie and Al being here Friday afternoon and night, maybe we can grill some burgers and visit. So, if anyone would like to stop by, you are welcome. And, I will have an extra bedroom that can be available also if anyone else wants to stop by on the way to Asheville. This is kind of short notice, so we will just see what we can throw together.
