I had mine cut a little deeper and shaved on the sides, and replace the foam with aircraft memory foam, made 2 trips since then -1700 miles and the other 1500, never hurt again like I did before the mods

Fishing on Bike? Where do you put the trolling motor?

Well, we made our trip to Ar, beautiful riding until the rain started, had to cut it 2 days short, after telling a farmer at a resturant that it rains everytime we ride the bikes to Ar he said ya'll be sure and come back because we need the rain, and after riding by some of the fields I believe him. This was the first time to pull a trailer with the Venture, after getting use to it all went well. The Pig trail was great, got into some clouds and visibility was about 1/8 of a mile. We visited Mountain View, Eureka Springs, and Hot Springs, then home to Florence Ms.

Thanks Buddy we had already made reservation for some where else but did change them to the Edelweiss inn

We will be heading out to Ozarks the 1st of July, staying at Mountain View for 3-4 days and then on to Eureka Springs for 3-4 days, then down towards Hot Springs, I will be on the Venture and the wife will be on her VTX 1300, hopefully the weather will be nice, if you see a 05 silver Venture pulling a trailer with a ALF doll on the trunk it will be us.

Check your main breaker, it could be getting weak and allowing power only thru one side of it and causing a back feed.

Does this defeat the pupose of having the crash bars. Crash Bars are design to give and come around to protect the engine, with the supports there is no flexiabilty.

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE OFF YOUR HEAD FIRST

Nice looking bike Monty, I see your from Tn, have you ever been to the Motorcycle Ranch in Pineville Tn? We are thinking about a trip there over the memorial day weekend, we have done the dragon etc, just wandering if there is good rides in that area, (pineville) I also read something about bike night everynight during the summer in Chattanoga TN.

The one I rode seem to be top heavy, didn't handle the curves as well as the Venture, I will stay with the Venture. Just my 1 1/2 cents worth.
