    Thanks, RandyR. That is good to know that pads can be sold separately for front and rear. As we all know, our front pads last much longer than the rear pads. I've never done a pad swap on my Venture, but I think it should be straighforward. However, it will take a little bit more time for me to clean the calipers before installing the new pads. I can sort of picture it now...this can be the perfect weekend job for me once the weather improves and it is a little warm enough in the garage.

    My rear pads are still good, but may go ahead and replace them around mid summer. With 22K miles on my bike, I am nursing my rear pads and using more front brakes. Like I said, by mid summer, I'll go ahead and replace just the rear pads. BTW, do they sell just rear pads or you simply get them as a set (front and rear)?

    Looking good so far, Owen.

    Wow! Sounds like it is going to be a nice upgrade. I can't wait to follow your progress as soon as you can get started. Let us know what kind of rig you plan to install with bluetooth capability. Good Luck and have fun with the installation. 73

    Gotta Vent

    I hope you can get that leak taken care as soon as possible. That deserves a priority # 1 come Monday morning.

    3 minutes left and the Jets just made a TD. I hope they have enough time for a come back win.

    I think I'll change mine....GB vs Jets for the Super Bowl.

    Congrats on your newly acquired ride. Thanks for the pic.

    Wow, 13 pages and still going. So, I am really ready to hear about Ride II Part I - of The Ride.

    It has been ugly in our area for the past 12 days now. The last time I rode this year was the 3rd to the 6th. I am hoping this weekend will be dry at least, so I can be back on the bike. Today, we had snow and ice on top of the snow....so commuting to work was slow going.

    Hello captainjoe. No, not an Eagles fan. I like the Steelers, but I think the Jets will make it happen for them after what they've done to New England. They definitely have the momentum to go all the way. If I only had extra money for gambling.

    I predict that it will be between the Jets vs Chicago in the Superbowl.

    Glad to hear that everything worked out for you. I was going to suggest that you may have been given the wrong 'speedbleeder' for your bike - sounds like this is not the case. That reminds me, I also need to replace my clutch fluid since the fluid is starting to turn a little more amber. A perfect opportunity...snow is forecasted this coming Tuesday. Ride Safe.

    Also, it may be beneficial for sanity sake to check all your added wiring for your brake/run lights and horn relay. Make sure non of the wires are being 'kinked' or bent to the point of almost being cut. Disconnect your horn wiring and remove the relay.

    Check all the fuse...one at a time. Assure yourself that only one fuse is the culprit. What do you find?

    I am sure members here would like to know whether you have done any electrical mods lately on your Venture. What accessories do you have on your bike not OEM?

    Great start

    I started this New Year working this weekend. At least I'm not out there spending my money. I also feel this will be a better year than 2010.

    I also ride all year round, but I am not that far north. Cold does not stop me. Rain, snow and Ice will. Today, I was able to get at least 15 miles after not riding for 2 weeks.

    That explains it...satellite radio sounds like is not affected by the buzzing issue of installing LED driving lights.

    The winter storm spared us over here. We only got 2 inches and was quickly blown away by the wind. The drawback now is the wind chill and this may feel like in the lower teens to single digits overnight. Unfortunately, winter has just begun and we are not close of being 'out of the woods'.

    I wasn't really familiar of this igniter. Looks like it is a nice mod for the RSV.

    What'dya get?

    N3FOL replied to Monty's topic in Watering Hole

    I got a nice cotton vest that could fit under my leather jacket on cold weather rides, a bag of Mint and Fudge chocolates and a shirt. We hosted our family get together X-Mas Eve party and opened gifts. Being around family members was the best gift of all. Oh, I forgot the tons of left over Filipino food that we have to consume for the rest of the Holiday is worth looking forward to. ...off to eat lunch now. Merrry Christmas.

    Merry Christmas to all VentureRider forum members.

    The nearest interstate near me has a posted speed limit of 65 mph...so I cruise between 75 to 80 on my speedo. As mentioned before, almost all Venture speedos are off. In reality, my true ideal cruising speed would be 72 mph. Ride Safe.

    Welcome to the forum, Lucky_1_Chris! Just like the Honda forum, there is an abundant source of technical as well as online forum help here. Sounds like you are very mechanically inclined, so owning a Venture should be just as enjoyable as your Honda bike. I know it can be very frustrating, if you can't possibly get any help...this forum is excellent with a lot of members that has tickered with the bike for years. Once you have acquired the bike, please post some pics. Again, welcome and ride safe.
