@Freebird Have you seen this one as well?

Excellent Write Ups! I wonder if @Freebird has seen these yet? I'll tag him in the other one as well. Maybe he can post them in the read only tech section

I dont know much about Lithium automotive batteries, but I assume they're like a Gel battery in the sense that they can be tipped on their side. I would also imagine a Lithium battery could probably take more abuse than a Gel battery. Is there one you've found online that you could post a link of? I'm curious about it.

I tell ya what! It's not the snow that scares me in that picture, its the nut connected to the handlebars!!! You boys are something else!

You are tougher, braver, and dumber??? than I! Just joking, take out the dumber part lol

Pretty bizaare, they've been having nasty winters the last few years. I keep telling everyone that I want 8 feet of snow here in Omaha. We haven't gotten an inch all year.

0 degrees Fahrenheit here in Omaha today. No riding for me this week either lol We had a hot streak before this cold snap came in. My pregnant lady and me got an hour and a half ride in Thursday, and I rode to work Thursday and Friday morning. Made for a pretty lovely end of the week last week.

Merry Belated Christmas to everyone!!

Glad you're healing up VAZ!

Do it before it binds up like mine! You'll have a much easier time getting everything apart and the bike rides so much smoother! Don't wait 'til after 100k miles like me!

Good morning here. Writing some easements for waterlines in a subdivision right now and getting excited to start cooking this turkey tonight! Anyone have any big plans for the holiday?

Morning Yall! Another lovely day at work! Going to be too cold for riding for the next couple weeks. We'll see if we get a warm streak! In Omaha at least!

I second Cimmer on the progressive springs. I replaced the horns. Instead of running an FM bluetooth adapter, I gutted the cassette player, wired in bluetooth directly to the inputs on the cassette player and wired an on-off switch to play the bluetooth over the radio. In the spot of the old cassette player, I bought an abs plastic sheet, screwed it into place where the cassette player used to go. I mounted my on-off switch for the bluetooth and mounted it on the sheet, mounted the bluetooth adapter, and mounted a three way switch for my aftermarket heated grips. You'll find you'll want to ride in the winter more with a full fairing bike, and the heated grips make a WORLD of difference! The rest of the bike is pretty much stock. One mod you may want to do if you're only getting mid 30s to 37 on the highway is to drop the emulsion needles on the slides further into the carbs. It leans the mixture and you'll pull 40s doing 65 all day with no wind

I've got a first gen, so I cant tell you exactly what needs to be removed on the 2nd gen to get them off. There will be 2 throttle cables, 4 vent tubes, the fuel line, and the choke cable, I know that much. To get that stripped screw out, i'd simply destroy the clamp and buy a new one, you're just gonna fight it for as long as you own the bike if you dont. You'll have better luck posting the 2nd gen venture tech page, and also look at the technical write ups. I'm sure theres something on there
