Saw some antifreeze under bike to-day and pulled false cylinder cover off front right and saw water plug was wet. Did the cheap fix in maintenance section by putting dime against plug. Probably from moving bike out of garage 8 or 10 times without totally warming it up enough.Had no problem when I had it out for couple our rides earlier this month. Will double check in couple days.

Also to you---couldn't have said it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chad from Pioneer just e-mailed me and said he will check other dealers tomorrow to see if they have any bolts.

Pioneer e-mailed last night while I was working on lawn tractor in garage. Said parts were in except less 3 bolts and he mentioned that they were back ordered(didn't say that when ordered) so he is looking into seeing when and if he can get them.

E-mailed Pioneer this morning to get up=date so will let you know!

Sorry these won't fit my 2012 and have already ordered from U.S. Thanks!

Hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

Backed bike out of garage and mounted my center stand I bought off previous member a couple years ago.(2012 Royal Star Venture). Figured it would be useful when I get valves adjusted soon at Marcarl's.

Couldn't post for last 4 hrs as every-time I tried to get on site there was a"technical error" come up and "try later"

E-mailed Pioneer yesterday and they said bolts were available. So they said they will contact me when he receives parts and get a hold of me for payment then ship.

Your right the bolts are different according to parts page! Will be checking to see if my bolts are available thru them. Page doesn't say they are on back order.

Would I need to change my drain plugs since I changed mine in the spring when I changed anti-freeze? What is price of plugs at Performance? So far Phantom Wife might get me to go with Pioneer considering difference between them --around $240 -gaskets-bolts-plugs if needed

Aren't the rubbers supplied with the bolts? I went by the part numbers you supplied. Just checked parts pictures and they look like they have rubber mounted to them. Anyways I just received this e-mail from Chad Armstrong at Pioneer Motorsports What about seeing about combined shipping?? Looks like under $200Can by my calculation ?????? Hi Philip thanks for the inquiry. Yes, we do still offer the Venture Rider discount. 5SL-1119E-00-00 $2.99/each 4NK-11193-00-00 $28.99/each Shipping to Canada via USPS Priority Mail should be around $30. I could order these items and have them in 3-4 business days. If you would like to order, just let me know, and I will call to get credit card info when I'm ready to ship parts. Thanks

E-mailed Pioneer tonight to confirm price of parts and to see if we still get discount. Also asked about shipping. Was a little late e-mailing so won't hear till tomorrow.

Went on different web sites and big difference in prices. U.S. Cost for bolts (16) is around $2.30---to $4.00 U.S. Gaskets are around $24 to $30 U.S.--- can we say we are being gouged????????????????? Many sites do not ship to Canada and some sites say they are Canadian BUT when you go on they are NOT!!! Checked Pioneer Motor Sports website and they are around $135U.S.----- $175Can + shipping (would have to contact them to see how much for shipping) Gaskets are $33.00 x 2=$67.98 Bolts are $3.50 x 16= $56 Don't know if we could still use our discount we had before to lower cost. I would probably reuse my plugs as I changed them in spring. I also changed antifreeze and cylinder plugs then also. If no I still have a new small jug of antifreeze.

Just got back from another ride just now . Another 2hrs and 100klm. It said it was 11deg(52deg) Seemed to be a little colder than yesterday. There were a few more bikes out than yesterday also.

If you would like I could supply the bulk Timmies coffee. Would have to wait to get our gaskets first. Any reply Don? Time line? Trailer is ready to transport bikes so they get there cold and ready to work on. Have clamp down mount to secure and straps. Since it is supposed to snow this week I could pick yours(Don)up and deliver for you.

Went for 2 hour ride today! One side of main street said it was 3deg c (37deg f) and the other said 5deg. Was a little windy . People asked if my heated clothes kept me warm and I informed them that I don't have them.

This would be done cold right? So we would have to drop off day before?

Price for gaskets? Pay by pay pal or can e-transfer. Any idea time wise?

I also got for a 200klm ride Friday and also Saturday.Was around 4deg Saturday but was warmer Friday. Then woke up today to WET SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So did about a mile driving lawn tractor pushing mine and 10 other neighbors snow from side walks and lane ways for about3 1[2 hours. Tractor had problems then got blower out to finish. Still have to get around to making room to put bike into other side of garage

K! That works thanks!

I don't see the moon icon in right corner but have arrow in left corner that goes to top of page. Don't need to change page but just wondered .

Sorry for confusion!! 1--bike is on trailer because I had to drop off at Carl's and drive truck. Changed hand grips I think as it has been a while but it wasn't that I couldn't drive it. Carl also told me it was overkill by me using that amount of straps . 2-- I meant my garage not Carl's which is where I took picture. Carl's doesn't need time to clean which as some know mine does(full most of time)(Carl says hording) working on mounting snow blower onto grass cutting rider right now. 3--also trailer use available depending on when and if snow on ground can get it where it has to go. So am still interested in this.Need gaskets and assistance from knowledgeable people! At Carl's if available or "roadshow" as you said.
