    I like pretty much anything except RAP/HipHop. I grew up with parents who listened to Tammy Wynette, Bill Anderson, etc. I actually still like country music from time to time but my music as a teenager was Deep Purple, LEO, Pink Floyd, Three Dog Night, Marshall Tucker, Eagles, etc. but also really liked James Taylor, Carol King, many others. I still like classic rock, country, a lot of different artists. I also like Sade, Sarah Mclaughlin, many other newer artists. If I could post the albums here from my Ipod, you would see a GREAT variety of music. Even some Louis Armstrong.

    Looks nice but sorry, I'll stick with my PCs.

    That's really a nice looking bike. I like the paint scheme and also the extra trunk carrier. I hope you get many miles of smiles out of it.

    I like her...er...I mean IT.

    Mine has been on for over 8 years and no cracks yet. I think the key issues are to make sure that the holes are drilled correctly so that no stress is put on it by forcing the bolts in and then not overloading it.

    Here's one that I ran across the other day. I guess you would have to remove the trunk though. http://www.discountramps.com/dog-carrier-motorcycle.htm

    Back when the first gens were being built, Markland made a lot of accessories for the Venture. Those look like the highway boards that I've seen that were made by Markland for the first gen. I think they are still around but make mostly Goldwing accessories now. I don't know if they make anything like that any longer.

    Now Larry..."normal" might be a bit of a stretch. How can she be married to the Squid Man and still be "normal". At any rate, glad to hear that she will be back to ... uh.... her usual self.

    About the only way would be to replace the straight bars and not grind them down quiet as much. Would be easy to do though.
  11. Freebird
    It was GREAT. You've set the bar pretty high if you plan to do better than that one. We are glad you have joined us.

    That is pretty much it. Here is a thread that might help some. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=503

    Since I am no longer making the centerstands for the RSV, there have been some requests for the measurements of the bracket. Here is one that I quickly through together to get the measurements from. Not that the large holes on the U bracket and the straight bar are 16 mm. The ground out part at the bottom of the bar is so that the stand breaks over the proper amount. This varies per stand. I always put them together and then grind it out until the stand breaks JUST over verticle. Too much and it is hard to get the bike off the stand.

    Take a look at this thread. Brand may be different but installation should be the same. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8810 Be sure to note that from my personal experience, ground and negative are NOT the same thing on these tachs. Make sure that you hook ground to a ground and negative to the negative side of the coil.

    I posted this reply to your request in the welcome thread. Hope it helps. Go to this link and download the service manual. Section 3 page 2 has the maintenance schedule. It is a bit aggressive though and most of us don't follow it 100%. Change the oil on a regular basis and you are pretty much good to go. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1828

    I've briefly owned an '83 standard and I had an '88 White Royale. If I were ever to buy another first gen, I would be looking for another white '88. That was my favorite first gen.

    There are a couple of Bluetooth options out there right now but every test I've read on them has pretty much been the same....not yet ready for prime time and WAY too expensive at this time. Another thing that bothers me as that most "real world" tests have shown that battery life can be as little as 4 hours. That is nowhere near enough for most of us who really ride. I've spent many 12 hour days in the saddle. Here is one link to get you started. http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=30

    Don't worry...after I win it, I'll sell it to you cheap.

    Was it this one? http://www.ftwo.com/

    I've had Progressive for over 10 years and the price for me has been good. I've never filed a claim though so can't attest to their service.

    Here is one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GL1800-GL1500-GL1200-Headset-Adapter-Yamaha-Venture_W0QQitemZ140197607219QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140197607219

    Looks fine to me but it's the first I've heard or seen of them so I can't comment on the quality. For the price, it sure looks like it would be worth a try. I assume that you seat DOES have the hole for the backrest to slide into? Some of the early Corbin seats for the RSV did not have the hole.
  24. Freebird
    That is just nuts. I would no doubt change my own before paying that.
