    We are rolling good right now folks, I know that I have been getting more nice sized donations. I will keep all of you abreast of the happenings and we'll see about getting rides setup to run down, or up to St. Judes....I agree with Lewis, this is going to be big. Thank you all for your support

    I can't tell you how good it is to see Muffinman on that '86

    Without fueling a fire, I agree with Forrest. I think it's great to try and calm them down a bit, but most of the folks that do this dont pay heed to the rules anyhow. Hopefully when they do run, which they will, they wont kill anyone but themselves in the process

    Now why would I want to screw one of my bestest buddies like that But it does have a nice ring to it

    Fantastic Bill! Were on our way and the donations have been coming in, and I'm not talking small ones! Thank you all that have donated to this, Bobbie and I really want to blow away the $3K minimum and if it keep up like this...we will. Just remember that every little bit helps, it's not about huge donations, but lots of small ones that will make this happen. Thank you again to all that have and are going to donate

    You'll notice that it doesn't have any bids on it either, what a waste to put a VW in it and take out the V4. I honestly dont like the looks of it either, to eaches own

    Thats a great deal and I wouldn't hesitate a second more in getting it. Your '89, although sentimental to you I would give about the same estimate of $2500 maybe a bit more depending on condition. The way prices on the Ventures are going put it on ebay and you'd probably get $5K out of it

    The bearing is a good guess at the problem, and I agree with all the post here. Just dont forget to look at you TIRES also, if they are starting to cup and you lean it dramatically, it will make the bike vibrate. Just something to be aware of

    Leo, No I dont, Yamaha makes a bracket that holds the turn signals and the driving lights, here's a link... http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/4/83/408/all/1/241/0/detail.aspx

    Well I'm good for 5 years with the warranty, if Yamaha does decide to drop the Venture, they have done it before. And Harley puts the liquid cooled V-rod motor in the Ultra's frame....my next one will be a Harley.

    I was thinking the same thing, if just $1....thats over $5K.....we'll get it rolling, the little ones are worth it

    Rerouting the cables is your only option, I know when guys put the flanders bars on you need to change all the cables and whatnot. Your gonna have to take off the tank and start following where the cables are going through....start now and you'll probably have it done by riding time tomorrow

    Thats a tough call and really only 1 you can make. I would check the depth with a tread gauge and see where you stand. It's a crapshoot really, if you can get a tire, do it and be done with it....no worries.

    Thanks for coming on a clarifying this for us, we appreciate all that your organization does and what it stands for

    Just to keep it in perspective, I bought my Diamond R backrest for right at $250. If you look at it, those prices aren't bad considering they dont make them anymore and they are 20 years old
  19. Squidley
    I dont doubt that at all, you would more than likely get more money for it in parts than selling the bike whole
  20. Squidley
    Lewis, I agree once we get the funds together it should happen fairly quickly. Bobbie and Goerge are heading to Arizona in that time frame so we'll have to somewhat play it by ear until mid September....we'll make it happen 1 way or the other

    I like it, we could notify the highest bidder before we post it on the forum. Beer 3o is in for $300....so that makes the mark $301. Just thought of something also, the highest bidder can come onto the forum and let everyone else know what the designs are....how's that sound ? Lewis, I would like to ride it there very much, if you can handle the logisitics of that it would be a life saver. Thank you for all of your efforts with this my friend, after all YOU were the 1st one to start it at Vogel Vinny, Thank you and Ruffy for the offers of the "Canvas" I appreciate it. I dont want to take advantage of Gene's son so we'll just keep it to Bobbie and I. And for all the folks that have donated thus far, we are rolling VERY well right now and have over $600 towards our minimum goal I can't thank you all enough for your trust in us and your generosity. Just remember if you have any questions feel free to email or PM me with any thoughts. Thank you all again for truly making this site the best place to be on the web

    Not a problem my friend, I sent a PM back with my #, give a call if you run into problems

    We have that Dave, it's called embarassing moments.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30

    Phil, The smaller inside diameter is going to go onto the header of the bike, make sure you clean the corrosion off with some emory cloth. The mufflers might have to be stretched a bit and pursuaded to go all the way on. I also open up the clamp a bit and install it on the muffler before you try to put it on the header. It can be challenging, but it will fit and wont leak, I have done many of them and once you have done it, it's a breeze to help someone else. Give a call and I can walk you through it.
