Jay, It looks in the pics that it is covered in leather, is that correct? Does it have a removable liner for cold weather that covers your ears? I was looking for exactly a helmet like that with air vents and a liner for colder weather riding.

I got your back Buddy...you know that Mini, Ramona, Peggy and Cindy dont scare me
-
I guess I'll have to see how this lays out, I want to feel that you sincerely want to have me on your list. I am a sensitive guy and I truly hate rejection, good things are worth waiting for, so I'll have to wait a bit
-
I like the family pic, glad that you folks were able to get over there and see everyone
-
There are so many folks that will lead you astray here Taters. I would like to join your list, but not at the cost of being deemed not necessary later I guess I'll just have to wait and meet you at Freebirds Maintenance day, then you will see who the REAL troublemakers are....good luck with your friend list BTW DanO is one of those that will lead you into a dead end some times
-
We have some of the Canadians coming over so we'll have to hook up with you folks at the show. See you there tomorrow

Meatloaf, You mentioned that when you ride with the choke on it somewhat runs. To me it sounds like the carbs are a definite part of the problem. I would check all of your vaccume lines as I had a problem with one of my '99's that ended up being a vaccume line that was off. There are 3 vaccume port plugs on the carb intakes, make sure that they are in good condition and not age cracked. I'll second the notion of checking for folks in your area, I know that there are many of us that will come over and give a hand. If you weren't so far south I would be more than happy to shoot over. We'll try to keep this up top so folks can see it, paitence is a virtue with these bikes.

I wanna go....but I dont think that I'll be able to make it in time. Go ahead with out me and if I catch up with you it'll just be icing on the cake

Tying into battery - How?
Squidley replied to Dave77459's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Yes, you would have to have a relay between it and have the relay power up by 1 of the accessory wires. I would also use a large amp relay at least 40 amps if your going to try to feed a large fuse block. -
Don, It's been good to see you being more active on the site, as well as all the Texas members that seem to get together regularly. It was great to have you be able to bring Sara up to Kitchener and spend some time with you at the rally. I wish you and all the members a better '09 that the past year. Looking forward to seeing you again here real soon
-
Nice work Craig....thanks for thinking of it
-
I'll speak for me and I do not NEED a woman to take care of me. I have taken care myself for many years and dont need to have anything done for me. Momma didn't raise dummies here
-
All depends upon what you really want, does your Sig other ride with you? Do you like having the cruise and radio? How comfortable do you want to be on longer trips? Lots of variables to think of but it's all in what you want out of a bike. If my wife would have refused to get back on a bike after our accident I wouldn't have bought another Venture. Mine would have been an ST 1300, if you can take the 1300 out for an extended ride I would do so. Once the deal is done....it's done

Happy New Year Ceccelia...and all of our friends here
-
This is for Saturday still right? whats the address to Leon's, perhaps Lonna and I can shoot out there and meet you folks for breakfast.
-
Good thinking Dan....Insulate and put some heat in it, with some power too, hell being in the doghouse wouldn't be bad at all
-
Right back at you Joe, looking forward to seeing you folks soon. BTW are you going to the Novi bike show this weekend??
-
That is the most expensive option on a Venture, it ALWAYS cost you more money Happy New Year
-
Happy Anniversary my friend, you and Eileen have a great time, looking forward to seeing you 2 this New Year

Have 83 VR handlebar options?
Squidley replied to OldBull's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Under the cover in between the bars are 2 nuts that hold the bars onto the triple tree assy. Take the large top nuts off and loosen the 2 12mm bolts and the bars will slide up off the mounts and can be spaced inward or outwards. The actual handle bars that retain the trottle and electronics can be loosened to bring them up and down, they are very adjustable. -
Thom, Sorry to hear of the mishap and I'm glad to hear that the brackets doubled in the safety department. Do me a favor, if the bracket is bent let me know, I'll send you another set or the bad one and I'll repair the other.

Happy New Year to you Charlie, all the best in this New Year
-
Just like you to blame your shortcomings on a man, dont worry, we married guys all know the deal. Some battles are worth fighting, others......not so much
-
Thanks Cindy....all the best to you and your family this year.

There you go Froggie, build a nice big shed 12X12 would be a good size to store the scoot in....she just gave you the blessing
