    I was kinda fond of Black Owl....but to eaches own Cerberus So are you trying to tell us that we can check out, but never leave?

    That is a nice looking bike, curious...what changed your mind after riding it?
  3. Squidley
    There is only the one on the bike and it's for fuel spillage. I took mine off all of my G2's as I really didn't care for the look, rest easy your baby has all that it is supposed to come with

    I have used Zanotti H/D in PA. they are pretty competative on prices and have never steered me wrong. Flatout motorsports is also a very good dealer to use, I haven't heard of anyone using Cruiserplus.com

    Good to see that it's you typing, I know all about going down because the rearend going south. Sometimes it seems like russian roulette riding with all the idiots out there, it could have been so much worse as I'm sure you have thought of that. Take the time to heal up right and we'll see you back in the wind.

    I know you have heard it before, but you definitely dont need to be on a bike to be there. The rally dates are August 3rd thru the 6th Bill, If this works out I'd be willing to help with maintenance, I know others will chime in with volunteering

    Not at all, it wont hurt the shocks, I have one and that is how I plan to have my bike all winter

    That is going to be nice once it's all together, I always love to see something different on the bikes....good job

    I just knew Don was a zillionaire....here's the proof, He OWNS a town in Ohio! And to think he was trying to pass himself off otherwise

    Dave, I will offer you the same as I do all our Ontario members, you can send it to my place and come over and we'll put it on. I can tell you that I have done many things with the hitches on the back of the bike. I made a carrier out of Aluminum and polished it up that would hold an additional duffle bag for whatever. That worked out real slick, I also have over 20000 miles pulling trailers behind both 1st and 2nd gens. To be honest you forget it's behind you most of the time, just have to change your riding habits and keep bigger distances for stopping. Your more than welcome to take me up on the offer to ship it here and we'll take care of it till you make it over

    If he does...I have some ocean front property in Arizona I would like to sell you

    Ivan, Your in the right spot for info, but it sounds like a heavy challenge is ahead of you. 1st gens are good machines and properly tuned will scare the hell out of you. Many good comments here, I'll throw in a few also. Ventures are VERY fussy on electrical, make sure ALL of your connections are clean and tight. The solenoid has a blue and white wire running to it, make sure it's clean and properly connected. Make sure your ground cable is absolutely clean, it attaches to the lower right engine casing and if corroded will give problems. The computer screen on the dash may also have issues, there might be a problem with some of the soldered connections on it that may need to be address. There is info in the tech library for this. The carbs also need to have the floats properly adjusted, there is info on how to adjust float levels also here. It sounds like you need to strip her down and 1 by 1 go through and check all the connections. I have redone a few 1st gens and it's a tedious process, but we'll be here to steer you in the right direction....Welcome to the site, hope to see more of you here

    FWIW... I have run about 4 lbs of pressure in the front shocks, it seems ok to me. The rear shock I run about 35 to 40 lbs solo (I'm about 300 lbs) and when were 2 up and loaded I run 55lbs. I dont like the bouncy feeling the bike gives with minimal pressure in the rear shock. It's really all about how you feel on the bike, you'll have to expiriment with different pressures as no one is quite the same. I have one of the progressive hand pump in the trunk and wouldn't be without. As mentioned it's a must have in my my bike.

    You know we dont care what you ride, keep yourself around here more often. I look forward to hearing what your experiences are with the H/D, I wont lie, I am thinking about one myself.

    Interesting concept...but the thought of having cars flying above my head scares the hell out of me. It's bad enough with the ones on the groud that you can see
  23. Squidley
    Good for both of them and best of luck in their future....I'm sure your son will continue to get you in trouble though

    The nerve of some people...I'm with Don....ban him!
