Now for something entirely different
Yammer Dan replied to zagger's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I got a frame. Don't need much plastic!!! -
Made the mistake of parking mine with a full cover on it. Wind caught it like a sail. Picked it up and threw it about 8 ft. Damage not pretty when it landed on my other bikes.
-
Clutch is not right. Skid said it always shifted hard but my 85 is smooth as you could want one. Oil not that old. Needs flushed out I think. I'm getting there. Every time I look at it it says "Wipe me off" I've never had one that I cleaned more than I rode.And my Crackhead neighbor loves to raise clouds of dust as he goes by my bikes. Wish they would keep him locked up.

Its giving me fits getting it to run like it did when Skid had it. I got it and it don't want to run. Can't find vacum leak. It is running better still takes forever to warm up. All kinds of parts falling off. But man the torque this thing has. Twist right hand and hold on tight!!!

These wires have resistor caps on them. There is a nice set on E-Bay for 35 bucks with the right caps. -
That would make it a bike and a wife for free....oh never mind:duck:

Just the shaft. -
Rocket has it on this one I think. Clean connections and make sure they are tight. Put some Di-Electric Grease on them. I think I saw that one go on E-Bay. Nice looking bike. Right Freebird??

Only a matter of time... Then when you get old enough to slow down you can always go back to a 2nd Gen!!!
-
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Glad you got good friends that will wait on you with that 2nd Gen!!!
-
"NOTHER ANSWER I can't answer 2nd gen questions!!:rotfl: Looks like it would work Jack.

When I pull in clutch on my new to me 86 it wants to rev and then drop back down. It will go up about 1k quickly and then drop back down but not as fast as it should. Hasn't been wanting to idle. Have to choke it to keep it running most of the time. Thought I just had some crud in it. Don't think this is related to reving. Sea-foam and it will idle now most of the time when it is warmed up. Sound like vacum leak? I couldn't find one but didn't spend lot of time looking was busy putting back shifter that fell off.
-
That sounds like a great idea! I have the CB and most of what I need to install it on my 85 just didn't have idea how to go about it.
-
Some of the old racks on top of cars were adjustable. Maybe just cut the rails on one of them to make what you want? Might be worth checking a salvage yard.
-
Good One!! But you didn't include time for breaks!! And if you explain it right it can get you a whole day away from that Honey-do list!!
