I'm right with Ruffy on this one.

Never thought I would say it, but the Crossbow makes the Victory Vision actually look better

Can a Brother get a hand?
Squidley replied to GuthDaddy17's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The steering head bearings are pretty strait forward. Loosen the center retaining nut on the top of the triple tree and take a small punch to the bearing retainers underneath. Tap it lightly until snug and check for resistance. I will put this disclaimer in, this is a temporary repair as if they have loosened you will probably need to take them all apart and clean and repack the steering head bearings. That would be a MAJOR job and a huge pain in the rear. The oil filter is behind the chin spoiler which will need to be removed to access the front of the motor for the cover removal. It's not a spin on, but a cover that encases the filter. Not a hard job, just a bit more time consuming. -
Damn! That was cold blooded...."Shortcake"

Did we happen to find my shirt somewhere in there

Have you thought about polishing your stock ones up?

Something you might want to think about if you trailer a lot is a vmax rearend. It will help with pulling the trailer and extra weight. On my 2nd gens I usually never shifted into 5th unless I was over 65 mph.

Get back safe Clay, and as always, Thanks for your sacrifise.

Nice pics...good spending some time with you folks, see you in a few weeks
-
Something to keep in mind about your gas mileage is you WILL get worse mileage no matter what you ride. All my Ventures have got between 38 and 42 mpg under normal conditions. Headwinds will kill you and obviously adding 5 to 700 lbs with trailer passenger and gear doesn't help. Also too fuel all over the country is different, your mileage will vary there. Sounds like you had a great trip and I'm sure there will be stories for many years of your adventure

Carl, I'm in Houston right now for the week and I have my carbtune with me. If you want to pick a central locale between us I'd be more than happy to meet you and put a Carbtune on the bike. 810 531 5128

Dan, When I installed the clutch master on Wizard 765's bike (it was rebuilt by Bobgobob) the lever didn't return all the way out at 1st. Get with Bongo and see what he did to rebuild it and give it some time to break in. Waynes clutch seemed to take a couple of days before it was fully engauging and disengauging, hopes this helps a bit.

Well I'll tell you Wayne, It got hotter here in Houston. It was great spending time with you and Robin. I'm glad to hear that the clutch is working better, nothing like having a clutch that works Hope to see you folks on the 22nd at McRae's, be safe.
