Hurry with those pics as soon as you can. I have a faded Black Cherry that I wanna redo. If your friend is anything like me, he probably just threw some extra bolts in the box just to mess with you...yup that's me alright.

Got to meet my 1st VR member today. I rode over to B2Dads' house. He only lives about 20 miles from me, and it turned out we have met before...I used to work on their cars years ago. We admired each others' bikes. I got to meet the wife and the dog, and we just shot the bull for a few hours. Really nice people they are. I look forward to meeting many more of you!

Fork Brace torque spec...?
Monty replied to jasonm.'s topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Where might one get this "super brace"? My '83 likes to wobble alot. -
I am riding today, and it's only 45 degrees right now. Supposed to warm up to 62 though. I rode yesterday, and it was only 48..brrr. I have been sunburned 3 times so far this year. We've had a bunch of days in the mid to high 70's. This weather sux....75 one day, and 30 the next.

You can find this in any local store, and the pads will not come off. No scuffing needed. http://www.homeandbeyond.com/prod-0077167.html Best cement I have ever used. You apply it to both surfaces, wait a few minutes, then apply. You'd better have it where you want it when you attach it, though. Cleans up with Methyl Ethyl Ketone.

I wonder if anyone here who has parted out one of their 1st gens has all of the parts, where I could add this system to my '83 standard?

Car engine oil for the RSV ?
Monty replied to FL-Venture-Rider's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I always use Castrol 10W40, and have never had any problems with shifting or clutch slip. -
Thanks. I had let some air out before, and that's when the seal started leaking...was dry before that. The manual calls for 12-18 PSI, so I had set it to 14. I will get some fork oil and drain/refill with what 5lbs? I will replace the seals and springs when I can allow it to be down a day or so. Too busy right now.

Correct. The groove also helps to cool the pad.

Nice! Mine is nowhere near that complicated. Very simple, and very strong. Randya, are those '83 saddlebag rails? Where'd you get 'em?
-
They are easy to make. If I can get my son over here with his digital camera, I'll take some detailed pics for ya if you want. I don't have a digital camera. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/Rear.jpg

I have an '83 standard. Lately, I have noticed alot of bouncing in the front end. I've only had the bike for around a month, and I didn't notice it at first. I do know that one fork seal is leaking some. I am running 14 pounds of air in the forks. It also takes a second or two to raise up after I lift the bike off of the sidestand. Fork rebuild is not an option at the moment, and I was wondering if I just drain the fork oil and change it out, if that will help for a while. Could the bouncing be from the forks being low on oil?

I looked all over Lowe's, and could not find those rubber stoppers. I think he got 'em somewhere else. I did buy the tubing there though. Gonna look at WallyWorld next.

Do you have the little switch on the back set to 4,6 or 8 cylinders?

Mk2 Brake System Question
Monty replied to bongobobny's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Mine is mounted on the neck, right behind the vin #. It is centered in the neck. The steel line from the back comes into it from the right, and the arrow points to the back of the bike, with the front caliper hose attached there. Rotate your picture 90 degrees to the left, and that's how it sits. -
