Thanks bpate4home. I'm looking for the bag you stuff your clothes in that attaches to the luggage rack. I have one but my riding buddy is looking for one also. There are some on e-Bay that are made by a different company, however he wants a Yamaha bag. Steve

Hello Venture Riders. I am in need of a Yamaha trunk rack luggage bag. I have found a off brand on E-Bay but would prefer Yamaha brand. Thanks Steve.

I use mostly the orange cleaner, but I will go through a bar of Lava in a year.

My riding buddy and I are going to Daytona this year. It's been 11 years since either one of us have been and are looking forward to it. We have ridden down several times and tent camped a few times. This year we are trailering down and staying in my RV. I've learned the 12 hour ride isn't much fun anymore so I bought a RV so I can travel more comfortably and still enjoy riding when I get there. Steve

Reiny I am going to look into making one, but from the pictures I have seen, it will require a lathe and I no longer have one available to me. I hate it when my friends retire and I no longer have access to their fancy expensive tools...

THANK YOU BMW!!! If I could see one I would try to fabricate one for myself. My memory is so bad I can't even remember what it looks like.

Thanks Freebird. Praying your treatment goes well when it happens. Steve

Hello Venture Fans. I put a set of Yamaha Passing lamps on my bike today. I took the fairing off to wire them up and when I tried to put the fairing back on of course it wouldn't go on. I unbolted the passing lamp bar and reinstalled the fairing then the light bar. This got me to thinking (Scary I know) that my old Venture had an attachment to bolt the light bar to in order to remove the fairing. Am I correct on this or is my brain still scrambled from the last wreck in 11??? I would appreciate any input you might have. Steve

Merry Christmas from Kentucky. My Christmas present is riding weather Christmas day.

Hello Forum. Has anyone tried a 7 inch LED Headlight that I see offered on EBay? I would like to improve the lights on my Venture but don't want to waste my money on a whim. Thanks Steve

Hello Forum. I am looking for a clamp on 5 pin headset with speakers and cord. I know I am seeking a needle in a haystack, but I am trying my best to avoid bluetooth expences. Thanks. Steve

I have it on my calender For May 2022.... Steve

Hello Forum. Sadly I will not be able to make Vogel this year. My GF and I are making a 10 - 12 day trip to Yellowstone starting July 22. Then my riding buddy and I are planning a 12 to 15 day trip up the East coast, from Western KY, around August 11th. I just couldn't Squeeze Vogel in this year... However, God willing and I'm alive, I will try Vogel 2022....

Hello EasyRiders. The clutch on my RSV feels weak and I want to upgrade the clutch spring. I have seen several EBC springs for sale at a decent price. Do these springs do a good job on the RSV? If not, could you reccomend a better spring? Thank you. Steve

The link to Clearview Shields is www.clearviewshields.com. The website is easy to follow and order from. I was called a couple of time to apogize about the delay and ask if I would be ok with the vent from a new manufacturer. I was assured it would have to meet their quality standards and evidently it did cause it works very well

PastorCurt I believe the delay was about 6 weeks. Since it was for a RSV that is out of production they had to make it fresh. There was a little delay with the vent maker as well. However it was well worth the wait. My GF likes it too since it knocks a little wind off of her.

Hello Forum. I purchased a new ClearView winshileld with vent for my ride a couple of months ago. It finally came in and I got around to putting it on this afternoon. To say it gives a much better view that the short one with the plastic chrome strip around the top is an understatement. I like a tall winshield with a vent for more protection from rain and this fits the bill. I did have one little scare while I was riding this evening. A buzzard flew up ahead of me so I hit the brakes pretty hard and got slowed down some. It was above my head and then suddenly dropped down right in front of the headlight. I was still doing about 35 when I hit it so it was a solid impact. Thankfully neither the fairing or the winshield were damaged so it was a good ride. Steve

Hello Forum. I have lost a saddle bag rubber mounting pad and round metal spacer the bolt goes through. I would like to find a couple of sets of these to have a spare for my shallow moments. Thank you. Steve

Thanks Saddlbum. I'll stay with the halogen bulbs until I can save my pennies and get a Grote light assembly. Steve

Thank you. I will get one.

Hello Forum. Has anyone replaced their H4 incandescent heldlight bulb with a LED headlight bulb? I want more light for night riding. Thanks.

I found the plug has a ring around it that needs to be pushed on to release the "catch" on the plug. Please don't ask how I found it, it wasn't pretty... LOL

Hello Forum. I am looking for a Passing lamp / turn signal light bar for a 2010 RSV. Thanks Steve

I rode 165 miles after putting the stock mufflers on my RSV and the difference was huge. I am so glad I spent the money to make the bike quieter. I tend to ride a lot and want to be as comfortable as possible. Steve

Axman I tried to get a video with sound from my bike but couldn't get my phone to record. I put new mufflers on and the new ones are much quieter. I like the sound of the other ones but I can't handle the louder noise. If you remove the baffles I doubt you would be disappointed with the results. Good luck. Steve
