    Thats where it goes, it doesn't touch the actual rim

    Dont beat yourself up Karl, life can and will do that all by itself. Your doing what you have to do and Abby is in a far better place than where she was. I can understand where your coming from, having lost everything we worked for, albeit not to the extent your at. It's hard, at times, to listen to the cliche statements of hang in there or it will get better, when your living it and it doesn't seem to ease up. Never loose hope, not to be preachy, but the spirit upstairs has a plan and it is working like it is planned to. My heart aches for you my friend, I know you and your not a person to be lazy. Life has just thrown you some very hard curve balls and your down on your luck a bit....it will get better, just remember that you have Abby, and after all, she is the best gift you can have....All the best bro.

    It's not bad, but the house hasn't been lived in for a couple of years and it became easy pickins for the undesirables. The folks were buying it from said they would split the cost so who am I to argue with that Believe me, anyone coming into our house unannounced, will meet the business end of several fine manufactured firearm companies products

    I just installed a PIAA xtreme white anti vibration bulb in my '86 tonight when I got home from work. I ordered it from Amazon, the twin pack was $65 shipped to my door. I installed it as soon as I saw it in the house and went for a short ride HUGE difference, got flashed on lowbeam 2 times in 5 minutes and I know it's aimed right. Changed it out in less than 5 minutes, can't get much cheaper or easier than that....

    I noticed the flyer paper you have inserted says it's a Brown and Sharpe, those are still some of the best precision machinist tools you can buy.

    Thanks Fellas, I appreciate all the input and I'm looking at a couple of options. It's not that I'm really worried, but meth is everywhere and they have broke into this house before to steal copper wire. I know that a loud alarm will scare off 99% of would be burglars, I just want a little peace of mind...Thanks again for all the responses

    All the best to you Robin, way better to catch it early before serious damage could happen

    Not a bad idea...especially when it works and is cheap

    Bill, Welcome to the group, 65K is nothing for a maintained Venture. As mentioned 200K is not uncommon with no major work. I sold an '89 2 years ago with 110K that we rode up to Freebirds Maintenance Day in Oberlin Ohio (outside Cleveland) from Houston Texas with no problems. That same bike would eat many muscle cars should I have wanted it to. If the price is right and it is in good shape, dont be worried about the 65K on the clock....

    Hi Dick!

    That is definitely a drag, I hope that his recovery is as swift as possible.

    I have a question for the masses, as I know we have a greatly diversified group of folks here. The new house that Lonna and I are moving into, has in the past been burglarized and they stole copper wire and such. We are going to install an alarm system as the owners of whom we are going to purchase it from in a couple of years, have agreed to split the install cost in half with us. We checked into ADT, and I guess they think their stuff and product is gold. Price was not what I would have thought and they were very pushy to have it installed immediately. There also was a quote from FrontPoint security, lots of the bells and whistles like ADT, but more reasonably priced. My question for y'all is, have any of you dealt with this FrontPoint and or other security companies, and what insight can you pass on to me about the industry for those of you in the know?

    I'll be interested in your findings, these are floating rotors correct? BTW what years did the rotors come off?

    Been through Carpal surgery with Lonna twice, she's much better because of it. Take care of yourself and here's hoping your healing is fast and complete.

    Wow!....

    I'm gonna have to pass on this one Dave, too much to do at the new house and I really need to prod myself this weekend. Have fun and be safe out there.

    Y'all have a great time Gary, we are looking forward to seeing you here in Texas after you get back

    I have done this on 3 Ventures with zero problems, the handle pull will be noticeably harder though. The '86 I have now has the 2 springs in it and will quite easily pull the front wheel off the ground if I wish to do that. It locks up great and you wont have to worry about it. Make sure you cleans the steels real well, if you have access to a sand blaster use that and then take some scotchbright to surface it.....

    Now what I'm about to say is probably not "legal" but I would keep the inspection sticker in the trunk where you have it if you have to prove the bike was inspected. I also DO NOT like to HAVE to put any kind of sticker on my bike because someone says I have to. If it has been legally inspected, then there shouldn't be any issue.
