    Jacques, Thanks for coming on, dont worry about the english, it's just fine. The problem with your bike is that you can't put the R1 or The R6 calipers on it. The forks on the 1300cc ('86 and up US models) are a different configuration and they are the ones that will accept the different calipers. The only way to upgrade to those calipers is by swapping out the fork tubes from the triple tree. Others will chime in and we'll get you on the right path

    Well I happen to know that meeting up with other members is just what the doctor orders here. I know even if the skies are gray, hanging with the group always makes me happy. We'll just have to work everyone through the winter 1 gray sky at a time As always...all the best to all our members

    Lewis, I will say that I am sorry for having to pull some threads, I dont like to do it and neither do the other Moderators, please believe me that it is never taken lightly. It's all about damage control and removing fuel from the fire, sometimes toes get stepped on. The Red is under consideration, but like I have said we as a collective group (The Moderators) talk together before we take any action. Please bear with us as all we do is always to make this place better for all......I suppose we better get you your "Gift" before you snap

    I say we try to research them a bit, perhaps a manned submersible, to see them in their natural state. Don has said that the pond is pretty deep so this might be an option. I too have swam amongst the creatures, fortunately that have never harmed me during my leisure swims

    Mike, They are referring to going with the '86 and up fork systems. They changed over to 4 piston calipers and better rotors on the 1300 series Ventures. Many further upgrade that by going to R1 calipers for even better responce. The MK I as they are being called had a solid type rotor face and twin piston calipers. They aren't the best setup and there isn't anything else that is interchangeable with them as far as I know. It is looking like a complete system overhaul is what is needed to help this member out.

    Hey 1st genners, We have a member on the site that is having a problem. He's not real good with his english and he and I have been having corrispondence. He has a 1200 Venture and like many of you, is hating the braking system. Now I know on the 1300's that they can be upgraded with R1 calipers and better rotors. I have never dug deep enough into the 1200's to know what some of you fellas have done to upgrade the brakes on these particular models. Could some of you share any knowledge on this thread here and help steer this fella in the right direction, Thanks a bunch

    Kreg....I'd like to see a pic of it

    Just for what it's worth, Seafoam will do the same as Stabil, they are both fuel stabilizers. I also second (or 3rd) the plugs, the Venture will run like crap for no apparent reason and you change plugs and it goes away

    I have a better idea...real easy, we get an invisible fence setup and put it around Don's pond. Then everytime he has business that will take him by the pond, he has to out on the collar...Whala! once he gets too close he'll know it Whach all think
