    Nope, that is not the pillow top seat. I bought my '99 new and it had that same seat before I changed to the Corbin. It does have some padding but nothing like the pillow top that the later ones had.

    I don't think it's that hard. Make it a STATE PARK and I'll get it this weekend.

    Which one? Crashing the Fat Cat. Changing my oil. My shoe laces getting hung on the shifter. I could go on but enough is enough.

    HEY....you keep quiet.

    Got it. Hurry folks....only 70 remaining. Actually, only 68 because I plan to keep at least two of them to put away in case my current two ever get lost.

    I've seen some that have painted them on the inside and they looked great. I would also think you could use some window tint plastic if you wanted to. On the other hand....if my dealer ruined them...I would be pushing them to replace them out of their pocket.

    Just so that everybody see that the previous thread has been updated. Please see the first post for of this this thread for pricing and ordering info. [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41413]VentureRider Insulated Mugs - VentureRider.Org[/ame] I am locking this thread so that all posts and info will be in one place.

    The mugs are ordered. I have updated the first post of this thread with all the pricing and ordering info. They did go up a bit so any of you who had already responded are NOT under any obligation to order. Thanks for your patience.

    Good stories from both of you. I'm glad that I have never done anything stupid.

    If you are asking about VentureRider chapters, we don't actually have formal/organized chapters. Those are Star Touring Chapters and though I think everybody already knows, we are in no way associated with Star Touring.

    I agree. I have no idea if your attorney is correct or not but I know from experience that they aren't always right. Especially if it is an issue outside of their normal expertise.

    Congrats and yes, beautiful young lady and as usual, great job on the photography.

    Once you have the Firestik instaled, it will have a cable that just screws onto the bottom of the antenna mount. You will simply unscrew the cable from the antenna and screw it into the back of the meter. You will need another cable to screw into the other socket on the back of the meter and then back to the antenna. Basically you are just putting the meter inline with the antenna. I picked up a short, 3 ft. I think, cable at a local truck stop to use for tuning. Just picked up a new one a week ago because the old one I had was bad.

    Yes, there is also a post on this in our First Gen tech library. [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6238]U-Joint Cross Reference - VentureRider.Org[/ame]

    If it's the same as the Venture, and I would expect that it is, you should find it in the right saddlebag under the mat in the bottom.

    Thanks for doing this. I'm in for 4 of them at least. They look great.

    OK folks, here's the deal. They will cost $2.50 more than I thought. US will be $24.50 delivered and $25.50 to Canada. They originally came back at $5.00 per mug higher than last time but I finally got them to split it and got the increase down to $2.50 but that's the best I can do. I found one more source but they too were $5.00 more. So...it's your call. Do you want them or not?

    Folks, I am ready to order the mugs but am in negotiations now with the vendor. They have quoted them about $2.50 per mug higher than the last time. Now I did beat them down on the price the last time but they are telling me that they just can't do them that cheap again. The debate with them is ongoing. I'll let you know as soon as I do.
  19. Freebird
    Well, that's about 38 so far. I've sent an email to the vendor but haven't heard back yet. Now I'm HOPING they are still available. If I don't hear back today, I'll give them a call.

    The second horn is in the lower cowling on the left side. It looks just like the horn that you can see on the right side though. There is a cylindrical shaped device that sounds like what you are seeing that is actually a vacuum actuator for the cruise control. You may just be hearing sound that is being transmitted through the frame and etc. that makes it sound like that is where it is coming from. What you describe though is not the horn.

    We already have one of those. You can find it in the upper menu bar...it's called the "Members List". of course....YOU are the ring leader.

    I think the statement is correct but maybe worded incorrectly. The fact is that you cannot get the Flu from a Flu vaccine. There are some people who can get sick. Primarily those who are allergic to eggs and/or chicken protein. There are some people who can have an allergic reaction but the fact that a flue shot can give you the flu is indeed false.
  23. Freebird
    Well, that's about 28 so far. I'll take at least 2 more so that's 30.

    The first advice I would give you would be to NOT lay it down. Other than that, I think you will get used to the size pretty quickly. I'm sure others will join in with better responses.

    Then you may have missed post #17
