Save yourself a headache and replace the wheel brgs! The needle brg is the weak link if it's rough in turning it's already toast !
When you go to remove this needle brg you see it has a lip on the backside making it pain to knock out once you get it out save yourself a headache for next time while you have the brg out make two small notches across from each other in the lip so next time around you can use a small punch or straight screw driver to knock out the brg
No this is not normal someone not knowing how to balance tire also that kinda weight on the tire should been broke down and spun 180 on wheel and rebalanced still sounds like someone not knowing what their doing
Also want to note when selling something with $$$ do the transaction at your bank or credit union and have the $$ checked to verifi it's good and notorize the title when everything checks out
I been doing this for many years and when I stated this to the buyers they have no issue with it I have in the past come across a few who dint like it so I said no sale

Zak I'm assuming your speaking of a new Venture? If so remove your accessory and still post it for 4500 if not remove them anyway and sell them separate get more money
I'm assuming your speaking of a plugged tire instead of a patch as your stating? Because I never heard nor seen an outward patch on a tire ? As this Can be misleading to some here
Here are couple photos of the plate as you can see there's plenty of air flow around the engine and full couverage of oil pan as well plus the plate is not touching so there's no issues of rubbing ! Until you hit something that's when it does it job ! Saves Your oil pan from damage sorry the photos not that great as it's in garage dint take it out due to very high cross winds here at the house
Rick what would we do if we dint pick on each other
Rick since these motors are gear driven unlike HD chain drive do you hear any gear noise since you gotten a few miles on it now just curious
Been following this tread and I hope it works in your favor
As I'm in the same boat sorta as I just got my Midnight back with one key the key itself is good but what's funny is after all this time - years I had spare keys for Midnight laying around so what do I do ? Throw them away three weeks before I bought Midnight back go figure so now I need more keys made why I threw them away I don't know as I have keys from bikes 25yrs ago
All kidding aside ! If I had the $$ I have one in a heart beat !! Cross Country that is
I was impressed when I meet couple victory vision riders at the Hub in AR one had over 130,000 miles on his motor that's impressive for a oil cool motor
