Remove the oil filter, then remove the coupler that will now be exposed. It should be a double ended threaded nipple. One end was for filter to thread onto, other end goes through adapter & threads into block. Probably a 17 or 19 mm socket. Gary

The shame of riding a Harley, even tucked away on the back seat, is more than the woman could stand. Gary

The black death is a necessity if one partakes of the fermented sharks fin. That is some nasty poop !!! Gary

A set from a VMax will not work on a Venture without modifications.'' As seen in your picture, the shift shaft on a VMax exits the middle gear cover, Ventures have shaft exit point at rear of stator cover. Gary

Pretty Sure sounds like there is some lingering doubt about this campfire tale. Gary

I am not going to encourage anyone speeding on a Venture by giving any credence that a Venture would possibly do 120mph in 3rd gear. Bald face lie. A venture with stock heads on it will not do 10K rpm. I've tried. It takes some secret modifications for that. Tweety will do 10K though. Gary

Anybody know what years these 2 block numbers are from ? 1UN-000220 P603E-000137 VMax guy asked if I could find out for him. Gary

Picture in post 2 shows blank panel. It is actually standard venture radio panel. I filled hole with lexan. Gary

I have canceled room reservations. Gary

My 1st wife passed away from heart attack late this afternoon. She was the mother of my 31 & 28 year old sons. Oldest is executor of her will, and needs to make arrangements. Funeral & burial will be in Moorehead Ky. I am going to be with them for support at the funeral services. Ex and I always were amicable. Her family are still friends. Wouldn't have any fun in Bama with them having to deal with this. I have a reservation at Gunteresville Park lodge for Saturday thru Wednesday night. If someone wants it call me at 419 589 4175 Sympathies not necessary on this, she was my Ex. Gary

We should be there around 6pm saturday. hoping to find shrimp dinner.

OK Old man, quit your whining. I Photoshopped you in a couple so it appears you were there. Gary

You would be wrong. Not Venture West. Gary

If you haven't tried, you are talking out your buttocks. It works. Gary

Old Timers disease is rearing its ugly head. Attached a few from IR's at some point in time, enjoy. Gary

That's what I meant to say, Long hot day !! I edited my post. Gary

Neutral switch is a closed circuit when bike is in neutral (zero or very low ohms). Switch circuit is to ground through the neutral switch, so it can safely be tested by disconnecting connector to switch and jumping harness end to ground. NOTE, This will allow bike to crank & start in gear. This is best done on center stand. Gary

Our new corn hole boards arrived today. Nephew made these for us. Graphics on fronts represent the 2 Ventures motorcycles I have. Text along edges by holes are what has been pinstriped on the 83 venture. Boards are a very interesting construction. The two board bases are sized so they sandwich together. The handles also serve as the support to position each board at correct angle for play. Graphics were created just for what I wanted, and then printed on a high end printer on 24" wide vinyl, then affixed to boards and covered with polyurethane. Finish is great in that it is not real slick like some boards I have seen. Bags don't slide off real easy. Gary

Honda bond is fine. I used it on Tweety & Hybrid. It doesn't take a thick coat of this to work. Excess will be squeezed out and end up inside case. Also need to stop slightly short of bearings. Damon covers this in video. Gary

Bubber, Attached PDF is related to GD&T. May be of some help. I have it hanging in my office. Gary

If the bolts have 'tightened' and caliper still has movement, possibility is that the un-threaded portion of the caliper bolt is to long. The bolt may be running out of threads and feeling like it is tight. Gary
