    OK folks....this is just to find out if there is any interest at all. If not, then no big deal. I have worked out a deal where we can get these bags with the VentureRider logo on the back and a 10% discount IF I can buy them in a lot of 50 units. I already have a bag and don't really need one but would buy one with the VentureRider logo if there is enough interest to get the group purchase. So...any interest at all or should I just forget about it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-Trunk-Rack-Bag-by-Bestem_W0QQitemZ400104858013QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item5d281ba19d

    You BETTER be good. Don't be pushing your luck again.

    OOPS....you wouldn't have had to search for them if I had included the link like I had intended to. Sorry about that, I have added it to the first post.

    Most of you already know who Kisan is and the great lighting technology that they offer for bikes of all kinds. You can now receive a 10% discount on all orders if you mention that you are a VentureRider member. If you order by phone, just tell them that you are a member here and the discount will be applied immediately. If you order online, mention in the comment box that you are a member and the discount will be credited to your order on the next business day. https://www.kisantech.com/

    OK...all done. You can now let them know when you call that you are a VentureRider memvber and you will receive the 10% discount. If you order by phone, it will be deducted immediately. If you order online, just mention in the comment box that you are a VentureRider member and the discount will be applied the next business day.

    I didn't know that they offered a club discount. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the heads up.

    You are correct. The Works is not air adjustable. It is adjustable manually to some extent but also they supposedly build each one specifically for the buyer. You tell them your weight, weight of passenger, etc. I guess if I were going to have to buy a new shock, I would probably go with the Works but I still think that a GOOD air shock would be a better solution. Just my opinion. I've never had a Works shock but I understand that adjusting it after it is installed is not an easy job.

    It is an interesting idea and one that I had thought about also but never really looked. I really like the air shock but don't adjust mine very often since adding the leveling links several years ago. I've found that with the leveling links, about 35 psi works well for us whether I'm riding alone or two up or even pulling the trailer. I know that it varies depending upon rider weight and etc. so really think it must be adjustable.

    It's on the left side, just up under the tank. I'm not home to look...but if I remember correctly, the tank has to be removed or at least raised up a bit to get to it. Anyway, it's on the left side toward the front of the tank.

    Will do. Max on mine is 35,000 so I'll set it on high and let 'er rip.

    http://www.edsets.com They are the best I have used. I like the speakers they come with but they also have a jack where you can plug in earbuds if you prefer.

    Here is a site posted by Flash41 in another thread that has just about any kind of video editing, audio editing, ripping software that you will probably ever need. All free. Great resource. http://dvdvideosoft.com/

    Just got off the phone with Mike. I'm happy that we were able to work this out with no involvement from Jeff. Turns out, we didn't even need him in the middle of this. I do appreciate the tips Mike. Now I just have to get it done.
  14. Freebird
    Yea, I actually had mine wrapped around the cam in the wrong direction.
  15. Freebird
    You know...I'm not even sure how Jeff got involved in this. I'm thinking that maybe I could just cut off his forum access until we are finished working out these details.

    WOW...lunch for two...two 40 year memberships....this is getting EXPENSIVE.
  17. Freebird
    I agree with Kevin and tried the same things. I finally gave up after finding the Edsets.
  18. Freebird
    Thanks...I'll give you a call. I see it being VERY labor intensive but I have more time than money. Actually...I don't have a lot of either one but that's OK. Heck Jeff...I don't mind buying him lunch....I would even buy YOU lunch if you ever showed up.

    Well...it may turn out to be a disaster but I just picked up a spare set of the fins off Ebay and am going to see what I can do with them myself. I think I can do a decent job with my Dremel tool. If it doesn't work out, I will not have lost a lot of money.

    There shouldn't be a valve that you tighten up. They typically have either the small pedal OR the valve that screws in and out to lower but not both. Since yours has the small pedal, it won't have the screw valve.
  21. Freebird
    I've got one and it was indeed a simple plug and play install. I'm trying to remember which manufacturer it was but am not sure.
  22. Freebird
    It has the large pedal to raise and the small one to lower, then I would agree that either the plunger on the small pedal is not coming back out or there is a bad seal or something on that small valve. I doubt it was overfilled, may be low now though.

    Also, it still says on the Star site that a California model will be available in February 2010. That tells me that with some minor changes, they will still meet the EPA regs. I've heard this EPA rumor for several years now and yet the RSV still seems to be meeting it.
  24. Freebird
    I guess you can't include me in the "we all know" group about the RSV. I have not heard that they stopped production in 2009. As far as I know, they are still being produced and have heard nothing else but rumors.

    Well heck...I kind of had my head up....well....where the sun doesn't shine. I have the leveling links and they raise the bike about an inch. Then I saw you post about lowering your own bike and mixed everything up. I was thinking that you don't want to LOWER both ends but that is not what you are talking about. That being said, I just don't know how it would work to raise the rear and lower the front. To me it seems that it would be too much and the bike will actually be too high in relation to the front but to be honest, I've never seen anybody do this.
