I helped the tire shop mount both of my E3's on my 1st Gen, and they went on smooth as butter.

You keep comparing it to the wing, but the BMW was around 22k last time I checked. I believe it's in about the same price range as a Wing. I could be wrong. I was seriously considering getting a K1200LT a while back. I had heard several times that they were having final drive problems, so I decided to hold off.

Definitely wasn't expecting to hear this, as I thought he was starting to recover. We will keep his family in our thoughts here.

I live in Tennessee, and our Yamaha stealer is closed on Monday, but always open on Tuesday. Glad you got home safe.

Monday morning, call 731-644-7432. That is the # to Pitbull Motorcycle lifts. They carry lots of new and used Harley parts. I was in there last week, and there were quite a few tanks hanging on the wall for sale. Patrick

Sorry you and the kids have to go thru this, but the hurt will pass with time. Hang in there, and help each other thru it.

Basic engine performance upgrade recomendations

You shoulda bought an '83, then you wouldn't be asking those questions. They are the fastest, ya know. -
Hey, at least you don't have to wear a MOPP suit!! Drink lotsa water, and be careful.

I do it while idling at a stop. It's just old habit from my racing days. I blip the throttle to keep the carbs from loading up. Also do it on downshifts too.

gaskets for collector
Monty replied to chocking's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
A friend of mine once mentioned that instead of using the copper sleeves, he just bought some copper wire, and made several TIGHT turns until it was about the same length as the original. He claimed it worked even better than the originals. I haven't tried it, so I can't say if it works or not, I am just giving ideas. -
Glad he's ok. Loosen the tree and see if it springs back. I had to do that to my sons' bike last month. I loosened it all up, and then wiggled it, and it all lined back up.

You can go to Lowe's or Home Depot(see my other post...lol), and get adhesive backed non-skid.

Good luck with the surgery. Don't try to recover too fast, let it heal up proper first. We'll be thinking of you here. Patrick

Left fork tube leak at dust cover.
Monty replied to Tony1M's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I used a bolt with a 17mm head(or 11/16, I can't remember), and I just welded the threaded end into a piece of 1/2 inch square tubing. I made it about a foot long. Then, I just stick a half inch drive ratchet in one end. Works like a charm. -
I don't know. WD-40 has always just melted it right off.....hmmmm.
