    When I was young adult most of my friends were older than me and I got nick named "The Kid", cb handle back in the day. Folks Ran a bar, The Port Union Cafe, north of Cincinnati, which I worked in and manged for pretty close to 20 years. So Theportunionkid was it.

    Went ahead and took out old plugs new ones have smaller top (the part exposed when installed) but diameter of the "plug " part is the same. I was just nervous that maybe I got the wrong part in the right bag. I have a history of being a bad luck schlep-rock. Really bizarre, dumb stuff like that happens to me all the time.

    Got new cylinder plugs and top seems a little smaller than the originals. Just don't want any surprises when I tear into the old girl. Can anybody confirm they fit. Got the right part # on the package 90338-11152 Measured top,(what's outside of cylinder) new one 13mm old one 14mm. Or do they spread in use? (Heat and cover pressing on them.)

    Bought my venture new spring 1983, been a good bike. Had some tough dumb luck several major things have went wrong but not mechanical failure. still riding her. But without this site that would not be possible. Could never have been able to take to shop to fix all the issues that have came up ie: cracked frame, resolder dash display to make head lite work on low beam, diodes in ignition box. and the list goes on. very,very, very grateful for this site. Wish I was more computer savy to be able to give back the help I received.

    it was some years ago so this is best as I can recall. i think it was Kenny Roberts ? the Yamaha racer from back in the day. Promoters came up with a new race i think they called it supercross and it was a combination of motor cross, enduro, paved track, and road racing. Designed to bring all the greats together from the various circuits. Well he crashed hurt a shoulder and when interviewed said that he was used to going down at 100 plus, you just slide but at 40 or 50 you you go up and come down. this is not word for word

    Hey there. I'm doing my second valve check in the 26 years I've owned my bike. First time didnt need any shims replaced, but this time around, everything is tight. I haven't for the life of me been able to find one of these tools, and resorted to a suggestion from my son. He's a regular on his forum and got me to try this out. I see there's tons of info here, and would love some help getting the shim kit and a removal tool. I appreciate the help

    I'm looking for the middle drive gear for my 83 venture. The teeth on the middle driven gear are broken from a bottom scrape. Do i then need to replace both gears? (ie the one in the case on the middle drive gear AS WELL AS the gear on the middle drivEN gear?) if so do you have either or both? if not, where can i get the middle driven gear...preferably assembled?? note: on the bikebandit parts breakdown, it shows both gears listed under the same part number. so thats what is giving me the trouble. I would really like to NOT have to yank it out of the case, so knowledge on this would be VERY appreciated!
