  5. Been there done that when times got tough the wife reminded me that it was the reason we were able to afford the bike what I spent on them per month Equals my bike payment. Stick to it and it is justification to buy something new:thumbsup:
  6. We lucked out in Ohio we got it in the form of liquid not solid no shadow for the ground hog we should be done. Stay warm and don't hurt yourself digin out
  7. I bought it so I would never have to buy another I all ready have it and it will last till I'm done with it
  8. LIke the tall stock windshield in the colder months but with the stock windshield hight I am 6'3" and when the shield fogs I struggle to see how do you deal with that with a taller shield? I keep thinking of cutting it down never thought about how it would effect my wife. She hates the freeway speeds so it may not.
  9. Sounds crazy but I had to have the stereo Venture
  10. And there good loookin too:big-grin-emoticon:
  11. Quite like sailing my other passion it is about the enjoyment and comfort not the speed once we are on our bikes we are all ready where we need to be and do not need a destination to get off of it to enjoy.
  12. Does Bridgestone have an E3 mine are Dunlop?
  13. Any pics? always like to see things there worth 100 words and thats more typing than I want to do.
  14. 1981 GL1100 was my very first street bike traded here in for the Venture. Signed the papers the saturday before the banks crashed in 2008 wish I would have just kept it then. But now only 8 months and the Venture is mine free and clear there were some rough times in there when the Venture was close to the chopping block and if I still had the wing it would have went.
  15. I sprayed the entire emblem gold then brushed the black and used a tooth pick and a sharp pokey thing to dab paint in tight places then sprayed clear coat.
  16. On my wing I used spray gold chrome paint then black model paint then clear coat took some time and a fine brush
  17. We have gone through boxes of stuff like that at my wife's mom and what you find it is only valuable if you want to take the time to find the person who wants it. And we have pretty much given up all the shops want them for nothing if you go ebay or other site then the spam, email it became a larger pain than it was worth.
  18. They have 11700 miles on them the manual shows you can run them down to the bottom of the groove I was looking for opinions. Next on the list mounting some RoadKing mufflers have to find a pipe stretcher need to open them up about .03 in then comes new brake and clutch fluid. Thanks for the help Scott
  19. How thick are new pads just put new rubber on now looking at brakes. Seems like there is some pad left to me but just making sure.
  20. I Hate Doctors when I go my blood pressure skyrockets so they medicated me and by the second day I almost passed out in the evening we went and bought a cuff and the bottom had fallen out on my pressure I threw the damn pills away and check my pressure at home all looks fine.
  21. Well after taking a lot of time studying this thread I must conclude that when you ride the perfect bike there is no bother waisting time trying to improve it Just Ride IT.
  22. Thanks for the input I may not do the legs now but could add later down the Road. What wall thickness is recommended on the 1.25 tube, I'm going to put out feelers for material
  23. My wife bought me a Harbor Freight jack and new tires so Is this drawing accurate http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=555 because the adapter is now out side the price range but I own 2 welders should'nt cost me much to whip one up. Merry Christmas to all the great people here Scott
