  1. Looks like you had fun mama and at least you didnt put my ex in your pictures this time haha. I am sure she was there at some point since she just lives down the road.
  2. The HDs have some great looking bikes and you have to give it to there markting group for making people think that if they dont ride and own a HD you might s well stay home. Every maker out there has good and bad things about there bikes but I will agree that Yamaha needs to get in the game, they build great bikes but really need to be ahead of the game. Maybe one day they will give you more options for color and stuff! It would be nice also to get some cool clothes for the bikes we ride instead of having to buy HD clothes.
  3. The pain is not so much in my hand as my fingers and its when I am holding the clutch in say in traffic. I heard some were that they could change some things in the clutch system to make them easier but dont know for sure so thought I would ask. Thanks
  4. The bike has alittle over 8k on it, a friend told me he heard that there was a clutch reducer out there for some bikes but I have never heard of one. Yes could be to many years working on cars and painting but its not the hand I use all the time to paint or do what ever with. I have strength in it and I just bought a hand exciser so hopefully that will help. Just might be something I have to live with I guess because my ins suc$s and I dont want to pay to have it looked at
  5. I have a 08 venture and for some reason my clutch hand hurts when I am holding the clutch in in traffic and such, do they make a clutch reducer or something and if so do they work? thanks
  6. Bet that goldspyder is a cheapy???
  7. I just bought a mercury carb tune from a buddy who has had it since the 70s but only used it twice, I have been told these are the best ones are they?? Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it.
  8. I was at the BBQ and if the helmet would have fit me I would have bid on it but I wear a XXL and would love to have a shark. I want it more for winter and fall and early spring to keep warm with the full face though. Glad you got it and gave us some info on it thank you!! Let us know how you like as you wear it more.
  9. The levers are not chrome or at least not on mine since I get black hands from the alumn levers, I am going to get chrome ones or clear coat the ones on it.
  10. Thats pretty good!! I take it you have a telescope with a camera mounted to it?
  11. How often do you change the rear oil? I seen one post were they said ever other oil change? Thanks for the info
  12. I am getting ready for my 3rd oil change, what is everyone putting in the rear end lube when they change it? I lost my manuel and need to get another one so I dont have a clue. thanks
  13. When i used to have my houseboat on lake cumberland one of the boat dealers there took a jet bike in on trade just like Lenos and it is one bad looking machine. I think its still running around Ky from what I heard and he takes it out at nite to cruise to light up the nite. They had it at lakecumberland marine and he gets some bad ass stuff there on trade!! the turbin powered boats are Bad!!!!
  14. I am looking for a bigger windshield so she doesnt get knocked around as much, clear view says 4 to 6 wks who else has any that work on the venture and I can get a vent with it? I know freebird was trying one out but for the life of me I cant remember what it was and I cant find it in search? thanks
  15. There is a place in indianapolis called cycle recycle that sells used bike parts for everything and I am sure if you look on ebay you will find all sorts of harley stuff. You can epoxy it yourself if you wish its not hard at all the hardest part is getting it cleaned. Just follow the instructions on the bottles and you can but the stuff at places like J&P or JC Whitney I have used the stuff before and it works great and it seals off the metal from the gas. Good luck
  16. I have two sets of them and so far they work ok but we both have a problem keeping them on the right ear as they want to fall off witch doesnt work very well when you are ridding the bike.
  17. Sorry to hear about this and I hate to see anyone go threw it! I just went threw it and she is still trying to drag me threw more and I think she has lost her mind also! You have to think what is best for you and your kids and look at the whole picture and sometimes that si very hard to do. Good luck!! You just have to do what ever it takes to keep the kids out of the middle of it and let them know you are there for them and you love them and they will be fine in the end. I had nobody to fall back on or help me out and didnt know anything about this site or these great people here, you can and will make it but it wont happen in a week or two so just take care of yourself you do have alot of freinds here.
  18. I bought my bike last also and I thought it ran great also but had it synced under wrty twice last year by telling them I smell gas and it back fires alot, it does run better but I just bought a old mercury sync tool from a friend that only used 2 or 3 times now all I have to do is read here how to use and do it when I have time.
  19. They maybe diffrent than everything else but thats what I like about them!! Everyone I was running into has a goldwing or harley so I had to get the venture, I love the bike just wish it was more up to date. But I guess if it was up to date I wouldnt have been able to buy a new venture for 14900 I guess.
  20. I would love to ride one!! I really like them they look more futuristic and nothing on the road like them. If the price was what I paid for my venture I think I would have bought one. But I couldnt beat the venture for the buck!! What one person likes the next person wont I guess!
  21. I got to looking at the tire and some of the tread is messed up so I am going to change it and keep it for later if I need it. I priced a E3 and they are 135 at one dealer but he wants 90 to change it and 160 at another and they charge 45 to change it. Who has the best deals on tires? thanks
  22. I thought about up grading mine to a 8 track just cant seem to find one.
  23. Oh the screw on the seat is way lose but with alot of group theropy I will be ready to take over the world!! haha:nanner:
  24. Why do you need a adaptor for the lift table? I asume you just pull the bike up on it and lift it up and drop the back table were the tire is?? Thanks everyone for all the info, I know if i buy a new tire I will just get another screw in it at work sooner or later.
  25. I need to check around some, my dealer told me the tire is 130 for a new E3 and with labor to change it its going to be around 220 and that seems kinda hi for labor to me. It has a 404 on it now that is factory with 7K on it and alot of tread. With me riding it to work I know I pickied it up at the shop with one of the guys just throwing screws were ever when they take a car apart. I seen a lift table at harbor frieght the last time I was there but it didnt have any info on it or a price and I was in a hurry at lunch time, is it worth a crap? Thanks
