    You can get better pricing Walt, but I have used the Posi Locks and they are awesome! I hate using those splices.

    If you have it down under, spray some WD40 into the switch housing. Take some compressed air and at low pressure blow into the housing after you have sprayed the WD40 in it. Work the switches from different pressure spots on them. I wouldn't pull the switches apart unless your very comfortable doing it, it can be a disaster in the making....

    The biggest issue with that, besides not having the use of the intercom, is also not having the CB. It would be great on a standard Venture as these didn't come with all the gadgets. The only other option that I could think of if you did it, was to also install one of the J&M handlebar mount CB/intercom units on the bike.

    Hey All, This '86 I have has been putting me through my paces. It's my primary transportation and this is the 2nd time it's went down hard in the last month. I just completely redid the clutch in it, with all new steels, friction discs and slave cylinder. I now am in need of the stator magnet, or rotor assembly as it's called, it's part # 26H-81450-10-00 I just checked and from '83 to '89 is the same part # and all should work with what I need. The bolts that hold it and the starter clutch together came loose and took out the windings on the stator. I have a new HO stator kit coming from Earl (Skydoc 17) but upon inspection yesterday when I pulled the assembly apart off the crankshaft, I noticed the holes are a bit wallowed out and I'd like to replace it. If anyone of you 1st genners with multiple parts bikes have the magnet along with the 6 retaining bolts I would love to hear from you. My cell # is in my profile, and I'll be on the site daily to check for messages....Thanks in advance

    If I had the money Eddie, that's the bike I would probably be riding. Road Glides are great bikes, and why the hell would we hate you, your a brother...and you like to put wind in your face, enough said

    David, One of our members, Carbon One (Larry Skeels) has just started making a receiver type hitch for the 2nd gen. Larry is a good friend of mine and I have purchased many of his items. His workmanship is flawless and the quality on everything he does is top notch. Here is a link to his ad in the classifieds.... http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3919&title=rsv26amp-3b-rstd-trailer-hitch&cat=24

    Buddy, I went to Home Depot.com last night and those are on my list of 3 that seem to meet the requirements. Do you have these at your house, and if so have you had any issues?

    Be careful and have fun Bobo!

    I agree with Kevin here, do a fluid change 1st and then see what it feels like. Some may not agree with what I'm going to say here, so take it with a grain of salt. I will never try to rebuild a slave cylinder, unless it's flawlessly clean inside and not 1 pit in it, it will more than likely leak if you try to rebuild it. The kit is about $20 or so, a new one will run you about $70. I just put one on my '86, they are basically identical, I want the peace of mind knowing that it's not going to fail because either I didn't install the kit well enough or the inside wasn't in good enough shape....

    All the best to you folks and all of the family. Knowing you and Marca like I do, it's a celebration of his life, and although he is gone from your sight temporarily, he will always be with you until you are reunited with him again. Lots of love to Marca....and you too Pop.

    Thanks folks, I bought the "Cheap" 4' T12 at Lowes for $10, they didn't hardly want to start and I'm in Texas for cryin out loud! I have had several of the members send me PM's and mention the T8's are the ones to go with and fixtures in the $25 to $30 range. Thats fine too as I dont want hassles and will pay for a better quality fixture so I dont have to "Tap the light" to get it to illuminate. Do appreciate all the suggestions....
  24. Squidley
    Hey All, I have a question about the 4' flourescent type fixtures that many put up in the garage, I am looking for a good quality reasonably priced set up...can you help a brother out??

    Looking forward to seeing the pics Tom
