    Post some pics of it Ken, I would like to see what you have come up with

    Dont waste your money on the BB's as the fitting in the back does the same as the ones in front, Red Rider is on the money too with his description

    I had a member come over with a "Noise" on his bike. We tracked it down and it turned out to be the same as you. A PIA but unfortunately it does happen

    No, actually I installed the leveling links on my '99 and went back to the stock size. I got the same handling result as the 130 but was able to keep the wider tire. I found that the 150 is more stable in high winds and such, learned that somewhat the hard way last year

    Kreg, Your looking for the Venom X's 150/80-16 on the front and 150/90-15 on the rear. I run these tires and your RSV will feel like a whole new bike Here's where I buy mine from as they have great prices and have donated a set of tires for a project bike that we did last year. www.swmototires.com

    The one with Eck in it loos like he's about to fall on his face by the beer in his hand...he just might have Sure wish we could have been there

    Todd, Quick question here, is your bike a Royale and does it have a CB? If it doesn't have a CB then I would seriously think of just going with an aftermarket radio/CD player. The sound system on the 1st gens is terribly dated and cassettes are hard to come by (unless your a collector) This is just my opinion, but upgrade to something with a built in amplifier that has an auxillary jack so you can hook an MP3 player or sattilite into it. You can match up a set of speakers to handle the output and have a far superior sound system that what came stock in '85 ...If you have the factory CB on your bike and it works then disregard my statement

    That would be nice...I'd like to get there on the bike
  9. Squidley
    I'm not 100% positive on this, but if it will work on an '05 RSV then it should work on an '07 as they havent changed anything on the bike that I am aware of.

    Sounds like this might be a good idea, Lonna and I went the BPW from Cherokee to Ashville. I like it Get a date together and we can plan accordingly...thanks to you and Jeff for grabbing the bull

    Good to be back in contact with you Roy I'm sure there will be more members that will be getting ahold of you

    So you bought Allan H's old 1st gen...good on ya. Thats going to be a good bike for you, it has a storied history and has been to MANY of the VR.org events. If your not busy on Saturday shoot up to the Meet and eat at Starved rock...here's the post http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13634

    I ended putting one on my trunk...it's still growing on me It will have to be modified to give proper alignment, I'll try to post some pics of it tonight after work.

    I have a set on my '99 and I'm happy with them. They are a bit loud in the corners but seem to perform well. Freebird swears by them and from what I gather they are a good mileage tire. I will go back to Avons after these are done, I just wanted to try the Michelins so I could know what they felt like

    Just at the top of your post there is a tab that says thread tools. Pull down the menu from it and it will say subscribe to this thread. Click on it and it will direct you to a screen that asks when you want to be notified. It will walk you through it and then every time someone posts on it you will get an email

    Good question, I bought my hitch off him and am very happy with it
  17. Squidley
    It's like anything tech based, some work great and some dont. We looked at getting one for the prizes at Ft. Collins but was informed that many have been returned. Marks is nice but he is a geek and knows how to tweak them....hope yours is just as good as his
  18. Squidley
    Tiny, That will fit all years of the 1st gen Ventures
  19. Squidley
    To be quite honest, if it's an '06 it has a 5 year warranty, so you really have nothing to worry about as far as problems. Just make sure the Radio/CB and other components work well. There really isn't a whole lot of problems with the G2's and basically your looking at a new bike
  20. Squidley
    My Avons lasted (on my new '99) about 15000 miles, but like it's been mentioned everyones wear will vary due to riding habits and in my case being heavily loaded pulling a trailer.

    Thats a drag about the Pyles...but atleast they didn't cost you a bunch (wonder why?) I have always heard good things on Polk audio, I might have to look into them as my speakers are starting to sound bad
  22. Squidley
    I can appreciate that you had good luck with them Jerry. I, on the other hand, had a disaster with them. My stator wasn't installed right in the side cover when it was returned and I had to redo it. They didn't ship the regulator with the rest of the parts and then it was haphazardly tossed in a bubble envelope and sent to me. It arrived in non working condition and then the one that was sent to replace it died in less than 90 days and started to fry my wiring. I had called them on several different occasions and have never had a responce back. Dray commented to me in a phone conversation that they didn't do right by the Delphi forum on the 1100 Vstars. Just way too many coincidences of bad workmanship and lousy customer relations for me not to warn folks. This is absolutely my opinion and I dont expect folks to take my word for anything. They will have to see what works best for themselves. ....Thanks for the rant, I needed that

    Tiny, Here's what I did when my '84 crapped out. It's an 8 spot holder that uses spade type fuses. I bought it from my local electrical supply house, if you can't find one, I do have one here at the house that I could sell you.
  24. Squidley
    Whatever you do DONT buy anything from Electrosport in California. I have had nothing but problems with their products and customer service.

    Chuck, Hopefully these will help you out a bit.
