You guys are talking about the Pilot light bar. I was wondering about the Diamond R bar. For the Pilot bar, I just used spring type "bar clips" that I got at Home Depot. They just snap onto the chrome rail under the trunk. Been holding mine on for 9 years.
-
I have not installed one of these. I THINK that they simply bolt between the helmet locks. I recommend that you email Diamond R to be sure. I'm almost sure that no drilling is required though. As for the wiring, It has to be very simple. Whether you wire under the seat, trunk, whatever, it will just be three wires to splice into the existing ones.

I actually have an article in the tech library of one that I did back in 1999 I think. It was made by Pilot and I picked it up at AutoZone for about $20.00. To use it as a brake and running light though requires adding a resistor and diode. I've also been told that they don't even sell it any longer but have not checked locally. If I were adding one now, I would just get the one from Diamond R. It is ready to mount, works as brake and tail light and look nice. I think the price is fair. http://www.diamondraccessories.com/yamaha/proddisplay.php?name=15%60%60%20Slimline%20LED%20Lightbar

I wish I could remember who I gave the gas cap to. If I remember correctly, it didn't work for him. Maybe he will see this and offer it up.

You can also check with Rick at http://www.buckeyeperformance.com He probably has them. He could probably also hook you up with Stainless Steel. -
The link back to the old style is right at the top of the page. Look for the line...about the third or so line down that says "Welcome to the NEW Ebay Motors"....right beside that is a link that will take you back to the old style.

Now THAT is the right vacation for these winter months. Glad you had a nice time. A cruise is high on our list during the next year or two.
-
Some do. The local Walmart here has the motorcycle specific. That's what I use also. The price is no better than AutoZone though.
-
I don't know why either. I use Firefox also.

Yes, I just tried it again. I'm talking about the link at the very bottom of the listings...after the LAST listing...at this time I think it says 683 listings. It opens up Ebay Motors to those listing showing the same 683 entries.
-
hmmmm....are you talking about the link at the bottom of the listings that says "view all 680 items on Ebay". If so, I just tried it and it seemed to work just fine.

Carb Question
Freebird replied to kycaveman's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Take a look at this thread and see if it helps. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=502 -
OK...I'm sorry that this took so long but I finally got it done. There is now a link there.

Yes, absolutely. See this thread for a short overview. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69

Geeezzzz......I wish I knew of SOME way that you could both get the last word. In the meantime, you are really both wrong. I DID create the video folder for people to post videos. It's not a big deal that they get posted in other areas from time to time but why NOT just post them in the video topic area. On the other hand, it does NOT take any longer to open a thread with a video than it does any other thread. It is actually just a link to the video and doesn't even start playing and loading until you hit the start or play button. So....all that being said, I'm going to move this thread to the video folder and HOPE that any further spats can be taken to email or PM. No reason for it to continue.

Clicking noise from rear end
Freebird replied to marke's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Mark, This is a very common problem and one that they should be aware of. See this thread to get you started. Print it out and take it to them. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1705 -

Carb Diaphram Replacement
Freebird replied to Marcarl's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Great job. I also copied it to the tech library. -
A really good carb sync has also been known to stop the popping. That is the easiest thing to start with.

You are not stepping on my toes and it may be a totally different situation on a first gen as opposed to my RSV. Also, I bought the Travelcade for my RSV from another member so it was not made specifically for me. What I didn't like though was that the fit to the bike was very poor. There was about a 3/4-1" gap between the front of the seat and the gas tank. All my attempts to contact Travelcade via email or telephone were ignored. I never got an email response and never got a return telephone call. I was more than willing to pay to have it reworked or whatever but just found them impossible to deal with. Now my good friend Rick Butler always used the Travelcades on his first gen Ventures and may still have one on his RSV and he thought they were great.
-
I know that on the second gen, the travelcade seemed to push me even further forward. It's been a long time since I've owned a first gen but I seem to remember it doing the same thing. The only seat that I've found that moves me back is the Corbin.

Actually, Ethanol is NOT cheap to make. Most experts now realize that it is actually costing more to make Ethanol than is saved in gas. By the time you figure in the fuel used by farm equipment to grow the corn, fuel used to transport the corn to the plant, fuel to RUN the plant, fuel to transport the ethanol to the refineries to blend it with gas...the fact is, they say it takes about a gallon of gas to produce .9 gallons of ethanol. Then add to that the fact that most people see about a 10% reduction in fuel economy when burning ethanol. The only reason it's even produced, money wise, is because of government subsidies. ALSO...because of ethanol...the price of many other things are going up. Milk, wheat, etc. It was just announced that for the first time in USA history, we will have to import wheat. WHY? Because many farmers have stopped raising wheat in order to raise corn for ethanol and get the government subsidies. Yep.....ethanol is a real bargain.

That article was written several years ago, long before VentureRider.org existed. I remember it was pretty cools that the mentioned the link. Back then, they were the largest Venture site.

Yes, I've known a number of people who own the Neosho trailers and they are a good trailer and affordable.
