Congratulations not just on making it last , but also knowing what you have & never taking that for granted . Won't say how I found my newfound wisdom & leave things on the positive note of make sure you do something really special for her .

I see ya gotcha one of them carbon fiber hoods now when you get ready to sell it you'll have to put a big wing on the back & a coffee can fer a muffler .

I tried the Hawk also for the price but returned it . The liner felt as hard as a brick! I found a Shark RSX on closeout $150 from $400 at motorcyclecloseouts.com & have been pretty happy with it .

Thanks for putting in the research. I & I'm sure many here will follow your results . I love the idea of saving money without cutting corners . I will also be watching for any coments on possible downsides.

Hopefuly no one will ever say I didn't see him . Nice job. -
Do you have a Driver's Backrest that you won't use anymore?
SLOW HAND replied to LilBeaver's topic in Watering Hole
Put a ring on her finger ,there will be extra padding on her by next riding season. sorry no backrest here just more smarta**. goodluck and I agree I'd rather deal with a member from this site -
"insanity" I bought the biggest bike I could afford (used) because it was cheaper than the used full sized scooters I really did consider . I just couldn't see buying the scooter over the less expensive Venture & justifying that as sane. Don't worry I'm not offended as I did scare the crap outta myself week 1 . Of corse if I keep it shiny side up a few more seasons then maybe I can be offended . Besides have you ever seen a fat man on a scooter & not laughed a little ? If I were still 20 yrs old I would kill myself on a 250 as I was invincable like most.Now that I'm older I just tend to get off subject , sorry.

Drilling Stock Mufflers
SLOW HAND replied to Whitlow's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
can u still hear the " jetson car " sound or does it make that louder too ? if he can fly why doesn't he pass & get outta my blind spot? On second thought he better not because that would bring on the strangest case of road rage yet. -
:think:Didn't you start out looking for something cheaper than mic-mutes ? Can't hide money. Where did I put that sarcasm font , shouldn't it be universal.

Any ideas how to remove a stripped Allen bolt?
SLOW HAND replied to Color01's topic in Poor Man Tips and Fixes
if the bolt has any points left sometimes a star patern wrench will lock in when an allen won't , worth a try if you have the right size -
Where are these jobs? I know of workers that have just been laid off in Greensboro,NC . Where are you located. I would not recomend anyone who doesn't show up every day on time and ready to work , seems you don't need more headaches.

If I ever get a picture of my '99 l'll disprove the "silver doesn't show dirt theory". Sunday is looking good for washday & I'll not wash again until I get my polished aluminum deflecters . I'm calling a strike , my wife says no one can tell as I'm also to lazy to hold the dang sign.

Slowhand not Clapton or Conway reference just my typeing. Keeps replies short. "Misconscrued" / missed conjoincle visit ? Did I mention I can't spell either?

Under my buckin hat

I had the part # for a pair of bazooka's but haven't search for it yet . Has anyone tried them? I have a tight budget and speakers are on the bottom of the list , but it is a short list

I know the tread is old but I enjoyed reading all 6 pages & yep as stated above a 2nd gen is my first bike ( cause a new V-max woulda just been dumb:178: & wasn't even near my budget) went straight from a weekend corse on a 250 to picking up my venture and driving across 2 states(found on craigslist). I've been comuting to work all summer & hope to keep it shiny side up. I must admit to wanting a 1st gen but a 20+ year old bike and no wrenching skills can't match up well with a wife who has learned to say " I told ya so " without opening her mouth. I also wanted to thank DRAGONSLAYER for his post.

Undercover/Not so Secretive Meet
SLOW HAND replied to Tom's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Love the gauges how long of an install was it -
Let em read your post to find out your awesome jus like we did !

I know this doesn't help you but wanted to say thanks to Boomer & some of the others as I'm going to try to train myself to keep my heel on the floor as I have a tendency to lock the rear tire in panic stop situations but am also considering the Butler brake mod as I beleive insticts may overide training in a true PANIC situation. I'm sure it looked impresive to the guy behind me as I slid sideways and strsightened backup um Twice but he don't know I left a third skidmark in a hard to see place:scared:

I always seem to work backwards from others. I found a couple of helmets online I could afford then searched for brick n mortar store for fitting . A couple of sites with deals are Leatherup & motorcyclecloseouts.com don't know about shipping to Canada . My fullface Shark retailed for $400 bought it for $150 at closeouts but it had sat for over a year before being sold. Fulmers are sold cheap as raiders if you have pep boys & Gmax also seem to be bargains and have good reveiws I know it doesn't directly answer you question but If you are also on a budget I thought I'd share my research. webbike.com (check spelling) has alot of info also

SLOW HAND replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
