    I am having the same problem now, mine is a 2006 and I was thinking about carrying it back to the dealer maybe I could get some warranty work. What do you think?

    Dennis, I was considering the Butler mod, since I am vertically challenged. Why did you not like it? If I had a spare I would probably try it.
  3. Woody
    ok, try this and see if it might be what you want. http://www.grasshopperlimited.com/

    I will check and see if I still have the info on them, the braket bolts on under the passenger seat and the back rest just slips in.

    "Hubby was thinking of the idea of having a quick connect backrest that he could take on and off for me to get on ................." I have a back rest on my 2006 Venture that only takes about 10 seconds on or off, how big is hubby the Venture is a tall and heavy bike. get on the best way you can and ride. PS. welcome to the site...

    Instead of buying a larger box I use two roll around boxes and just separate my stuff accordingly. Just a thought

    nexan tires

    I tried that my ears are still ringing (or is that the phone)

    ok here is the latest, the guy that was putting air in my nexen tire when it blew sold me a ME 880 mounted on my rim and balanced for $160.00. of course I removed the wheel from the bike and then replaced it. but still not a bad deal if I could get a refund from the place where I bought the tire from, it would be even better. anyway I almost made it to the darkside maybe next time. oh and yes the 880 came from Germany.

    the guy that blew my tire out said he would order me a tire and let me have it at cost, I said great check on a me880. he looked it up and claims his cost is 189.95, I know they are high but I can order one for less. the superstore has them for 159.99

    The bead with steel in it that seals against the rim broke and about three inches up the side wall. Made a h*** of a noise.
  11. Woody
    I would think that the guy putting air in it would have to cover it. I hope someone does. but then they may want to blame it on being a c/t on m/c rim.

    hey, when the Boss is away (you know the rest)
  13. Woody
    ok, here is the problem I ordered the tire from a local tire shop, but carried it to a local bike shop to get it mounted. should i try to get the tire shop to replace it or the bike shop that tried to mount it?
  14. Woody
    I finally found someone that would mount it and at about 80 psi it blew, opened up the bead and the sidewall
  15. Woody
    I ordered my nexen c/t and got size 165/80 15, took my tire off the bike and I see it is a 150/90 B15. what differance will it make, where did I get that size from? oh what have I done?
  16. Woody
    what model pirelli did you use?
  17. Woody
    tring to decide between the nexen and the Nankang CX668. has anyone tried the Nankang CX668?
  18. Woody

    I did not stop to see if they where ok, in my mirror I could see the red truck still going down the road and there was no contact with the white truck.

    Woody posted a topic in Watering Hole

    I may need to get my seat fixed, while riding two up with my daughter on a narrow country road we meet a white pick up truck coming in our direction driving very slow as if looking for an address or something and then from behind the truck a red truck came around a curve way to fast and could not stop for the white truck it took to the ditch on the right side of the white truck and passed it in the ditch came back in the road in front of the truck with it’s front wheels off the ground coming straight at us I took the ditch on my right avoiding the red truck a mail box and then the white truck. After my daughter was able to talk she said at one point she could have touched the red truck and the mail box at the same time. If we had been in four wheels we could not have got out of the way. Good thing is no one was hurt, bike got a couple of scraps.

    why a new fairing? glad to hear we still have some good dealers, give them a shout out by name so we can drop by sometime.
  24. Woody
    After reading this post I decided to call my local dealer, had to explain about he had to call Yamaha and he gladly did made the call and called me back in a matter of minutes. He asked if I could bring my bike in and let him ride it to verify the whine he said Yamaha would cover it (we will see)
  25. Woody
    this is the same way they do car tires around here.
