  1. It has 38,886 original miles and it is the XII model I love the fact that at a stop light I can put my foot flat on the pavement instead of half on my toes with the v4. Tom
  2. I spent yesterday cleaning the bike it had about an inch of dust and tree sap so I washed it and got out the rubbing compound with plastic polish for the windshield. I took inventory on what it needs, what I like about this bike is that it was produced for so long I can order the plastic parts for it. I still have a lot to do to it but it runs great. This thing will flat outrun my 86 VR and my other 86 I had and my 84VR I can't believe the power difference between an inline 4 and a v4.
  3. I got the 91 Kawi Voyager here and the po put a new back Pirelli Route66 tire on it and it came with a new same front tire to be installed, anyone have an opinion on these tires since I have never had them. I took it for a ride and it starts and runs awsome but it needs cosmetic work, he also said that he put new progressive springs in, now that being said when I took it for a ride the front end felt like ice cream in the turns that is how I can explain it. I checked the air pressure in the tire and it was good I am wondering if he did something wrong, I don't know alot about the Kawi in terms of working on it and am wondering if someone can help me on the front end issue also. Tom
  4. The Venture is doing good. I put both tires on and put progressive springs in, put a 12v power plug in to charge things and just put in the plug for a battery tender today. The trailer hitch has a 5 pin plug and I can't find and adapter to 4 pin flat so I am gonna have to make one so I can leave the plug in the hitch and keep it looking good. I ride with CAPTD (member here) on Sundays sometimes and he want to swap rides so he can see what a first gen is like. I still need to hook up horns though but all in all she is running good.
  5. Yes I won it for 2025$ I think I did good, now we just need to finish the transaction and I will need someone to pick it up for me. Tom
  6. Not long I would either pick it up on a weekend or have it shipped.
  7. I am thinking of buying a Kawi Voyager on flebay and it is in Helen GA can someone pick it up and hold it until I can get it. Tom
  8. The antenna is for the CB and radio and I don't think there is anything on the carbs that cleaner would hurt or my bike would be toast.
  9. I've ridden stripped down and it was a little chilly........
  10. I am going camping with my motorhome this weekend in upper Fla at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park 3076 95th Drive Live Oak, Florida 32060 I will be there Sat -Monday if anyone wants to take a ride and visit I will have the bbq grill ready. Tom
  11. I didn't do anything exept watch Capt D work and I think I might have broke a sweat.
  12. I am gonna camp out at the Cabbage Patch the 9th-11th and ride from there. Tom
  13. Air ride controller only works when the key is in the accessory position it will not work with the key all the way on.
  14. The connection in the fuse box was broke so I put an inline fuse for now until I upgrade to Earls fuse block.
  15. You will be the first person I call if I don't want it.
  16. Sure that way I can test out the driver and passenger plugins.
  17. I bought the bike with it that way, and I meant when I change the rear tire again I will get rid of it.
  18. I finally have time to donate to the 86, I fixed the tail light this morning which wasn't working and synced the carbs now I am replacing the tires. The homemade trailer hitch is a BIG PAIN in the BUTT I think the next time I change the rear I will get rid of it.I am getting to old to keep doing this stuff.
  19. Thanks Rick............I think........
  20. I met bongobob and his wife today on there way down to go on a cruise. It is always nice to put a face with names of the Venturerider family and I hope to meet more of you.I should have taken pics but it wasn't on a post- it note so I forgot.... Tom
