    That sounds like a fair deal to me, but then it would cost me about $200 to come down for the weekend and get them

    Get on a 2nd gen and you'd be riding...not fixing

    This is exactly what I would do, and I have in the past

    Reed, I am assuming your talking about an accessory wire that will switch power to the relay when the key is turned on and off. What I did was take a continuity tester and start reaching into the plug end on the wiring harness and finding which one was switched power and just tyapped off of it. I also went directly to the battery as my powersource for the lights. Dont go through the ignition switch for any of your power needs as the switches on the Vneture aren't very good and many have had them crap out.

    If Momma's happy, everybody is happy, you and I must be kindred spirits in the inserting foot in mouth disease

    Thats a '99, look at the seats # 1 and yes the badge is correct for a '99. Somebody painted it black, thats all. How much they asking for it Dan?

    I have seen RSV's and TD's in Orange and I liked them. I know some of the boys are passionate about the MM's but paint it whatever color you want, it will truly be unique then and have your signature on it. I was going to change the color of my '99 to a 2 tone orange and copper color before the rear tire blew out and totalled it

    Unfortunately the 2nd gen fuel filter is in a worse spot to get at than the 1st gen. I swapped mine out on my '99 to an inline, too bad I didn't have the bike long enought to have to change it out

    We had a great time with everyone this weekend, and were glad we brought the truck instead of the bike This was the 1st time in a long while where afterwards we actually had the time to sit around and enjoy everyones company, I could get used to that Chuck was very happy with the brakes as he called me last night when he got home. It's definitely a great upgrade to install on the 1st gens. Thank you Kevin and Sue for letting me volunteer your abode for the maintenance, it was a great excuse (not that we need one) to come down and see you folks. Lonna and I are going to take a few weekends off now seeing we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off Great time and thanks again to all for the laughs on Saturday night

    I wish we could have stopped Craig, but like you mentioned, time was not with us this time. BTW thank you very much for your help on the lodging, we ended up staying in Cleveland TN and actually made it through rush hour Atlanta without having to completely stop on the eway.

    Tim, Very nice work on the bike, love the color combo too, can't wait to see it in person soon

    Man that was tough to keep to myself, Congrats to both of you and we are very happy to hear of the news. Can't wait to get some miles on with both of you, she looks good in leather too!

    All the best in this trial my friend, were pulling for you as much as we can.

    You already have an idea of what needs to be done, the backrest is a must if your going to do long trips. I would also recommend highway pegs for more foot positions. Being it's a new bike and under warranty I wouldn't screw around with the AIS, if it's not broke dont worry about it. I think that the majority of the folks here will tell you to stay as far away from Metzlers as you can get, they have a bad reputation for separating on the Ventures. Avon Venoms and Michelin Commanders are my 2 favorites, many also like the Dunlops the E3's are a new design from them and folks are running them now. The suspension oil is fine, just adjust the air pressure in the forks to your liking, but remember the max is only 7 psi so dont fill them with your compressor, use a hand pump. same with the rear shock. Welcome to the site and remember if you want to look for something specifically that you can go above to the search tab, type in your queery and it will bring up all threads pertaining to your search
