So Carl are you going Wed. morning or Thurs.? If Wed. what time were you thinking? (Phantom said I booked for Wed. night) Am almost packed! Don private messaged me today to see when I was going and I think he said he might not go till Thurs.

I know you were looking for something bigger than the tent trailer you had(you asked me about mine when I was selling mine but it only had a double and you were looking for something bigger. BUT this is a LOT bigger!!!!! Envious!!!!!!

Hopefully will be there. Address?

Will hopefully be there! Time?

eusa1 would have been nice if he mentioned your work done on the covers just to e nice!

Just bought new Baggers Mag and there is a Second Gen that I think I saw on our site that has Hydro-dipped body graffics and black cherry paint.. I believe it was posted on here for sale a while back. Can't remember name of person as book is at work.

Made reservation for camping last week! Probably going up Wednesday morning.

MarCarl helped me(mostly him)to put the Clutch Upgrade kit sold by skydoc17 in my 2012 Venture yesterday.

Was just able to switch my holidays I had for week before to the new weekend. Was not looking good for a while! Looking forward again to meeting everyone again!

So is there any chance of Meet & Greet for Annie in Toronto? Time -- place --date. Would like to try and make this if possible.

We are glad she is OK also!!!!!

Thanks to Marca and Carl for ANOTHER great day! Food was great / met new people and talked to others that have been before. Bought a few things from Reinyrooster. Can't wait to have another next year BUT will be seeing most again at Minden in July. So welcome to new members!

I hear you as Canadian to U.S is $1.35 U.S $1.00 Canadian was around $1.40 a while ago

Sorry to hear about your incident! Glad you weren't more seriously injured! Hope insurance comes thru for you.

Thank you guys those are the pictures I was looking for but couldn't find.

So does this mean nobody has the pictures of the adapters that I know were posted before with dimensions that allow Harley pipes to mount to Venture.

Picked up a pair of brand new Screaming Eagles at Fort Erie last Sunday for a steal. Also picked up a set of end pieces for them as Harley sells them separately. Not sure how loud they will sound but hopefully they will be slightly louder than my stock pipes. Was looking for the diagram for making pipe adapters but no luck. Anyone know where to find them? Also does anyone know if they have cattelic converters in them? Box says date of 06/22/07

Sorry to hear the news as I haven't been on the site for a few days! Hope everything is OK!

Rode to Performance Cycle in Cambridge Ontario to get a second opinion on my situation. \\\\\\\\\\\first guy was not too helpful and more or less said if shock wasn't leaking too bad but when I told him that several others were changed without leaks he went and got service manager who checked over my bike and talked with me for about an hour saying that since it wasn't squeaking at the time he couldn't do anything UNLESS it does start before end of warranty which is roughly May 18th then I can contact him.. He did get a little bit when he lowered air pressure below 17lbs but said that it should be around 30 on average. He also does not agree about the bearings needing changing as he has been a Yamaha mechanic there for over 20 some odd years and worked on very many Ventures and NEVER changed any. He has changed quite a few shocks but most of them older model second gens but thinks the newer models were upgraded in the shocks that he can remember. He also thinks there are issues with service that was supposed to have been done as there were slight leaks around valve cover which gaskets should have been changed. Heal--toe shifter is a little loose and rusty and he doesn't think that fuel filter probably has not been changed.ETC.

Don't know if I stated it but I got ALL my maintenance and servicing done at this dealer for the last 5 years every 5000klms. so it wasn't me not doing these things but them. So if greasing was to be done they should have done it under maintenance chart.

Been having a squeaking noise from lower shock area and asked a few people what theirs sounded like and what was changed. I mostly heard that the rear shock was the problem and dealer changed under warranty (those that still had warranty) . Well my dealer first couldn't hear anything then I finally took bike in for 65,000 klm check and asked them to check again they said it was the 6 bearings in the swing-arm(cost of $300 +2 hours labor) with wear and tear(not a warranty item which I understand with wear)and NOT shock. I mentioned that several others had same noise and shock was problem but stuck with his diagnosis. Now I am not trying to get nothing for free if not the problem but have lost out on warranty things before . So am thinking about getting a second opinion from another shop before I get the bearings changed. I don't think the shop I go to for ALL my regular servicing would say anything different but if there are more of these around than they say you never know. They treat me pretty good by giving me one of their bikes to go for breakfast or whatever sometimes giving me company truck if it was raining. What are your views????

I am like most other Canadian riders in Ontario and am paying almost $1400 full coverage WITH combined coverage of house and home together.Could take off collision but would only save around $40(not worth it to me bike is 2012 Venture) This is with looking around to different companies. One wouldn't even cover me because of what I paid for bike when I bought it in 2012 which was around $20,000(lucky I didn't buy the $38,000 Harley I was looking at) Seemed all companies asked me that question. Don't really know why that would be relevant.

I had the same problem with that bracket. Tried to get replacement but they wanted way too much for one.(cost of part plus shipping--sometimes double what part cost). So I ended up making my own from flat steel and bent it close to original shape.Not perfect but works. Haven't had a problem with it .
