  1. Eventually i'll get a two tone brown 85 with all the bells and whistles like mine and completely restore it! Only with the necessary upgrades from venturerider.org!
  2. At least your catching it. With my hobbies i wouldnt notice mixups like that out of the usual
  3. It was the axle bolt but he overtightened it
  4. This was awhile ago, maybe it was no big deal. I'll look tomorrow before i go to work and try to figure out what the heck he tightened lol
  5. Looks like something i'll need to buy
  6. Thank you for the info. I think I'm going to do the valve adjustment myself. Which means i'll be doing research a-plenty. I want to replace my front wheel bearing because for whatever reason my dad thought it was loose and tightened it without a torque-spec. It squeaks now at slow speeds and I think I'm just going to buy all new bearings and spoil my girl. And honestly anything else you can think of will really help. I really want to make her sing!
  7. I think I'm going to go ahead and do the Butt Butler mod! Was referenced to me by a member and seems like a cheap and effective way to increase cruising range!
  8. I will definitely be getting ahold of you soon about a seat job sir!
  9. Located in Norfolk NE. You dont know if yours is th original is it?
  10. That is sick! Totally unique too thats gonna turn heads for a long time
  11. Does anyone have one of the newer style seats for sale for a Second Gen Venture? Mine has the more firm seat that says Royal Star on it, but i see that the newer stile Royal Stars have a softer more cushy seat. My bike is a 99 by the way.
  12. Ahh youre right! I replaced that last year too!
  13. Thats a blast to ride, its alot more fun without the harleys in my way
  14. Are these able to fit on a Royal Star Venture?
  15. Awesome! I was thinking about replacing the bearings anyways because of the age. I had the carbs synced last year and my mechanic told me that it was running great. So it sounds like at 30K its just basic stuff. Which is awesome! I need to get it on my pop's bike lift and just spend some time with her. Where would you suggest getting the bearings?
  16. Sorry guys its been a long time since i've renewed my subscription here. I've switched over to a 99 Royal Star Venture. I'll have to put some pics up shortly:whistling:
  17. I am having a hard time finding anything for my RSV. Where do you guys get your stuff out of, because i really need to dress my girl up
  18. I threw the cheapest tire i could find on it, and i can barely hit 6k miles per tire myself. Although i do ride with a pretty quick crowd:stickinouttounge:
  19. Hey there guys! I have a 99 Royal Star Venture with 29000 miles on it. When i bought it last year with 20k miles I replaced clutch fluid, brake fluid, spark plugs fuel filter and engine coolant. Now I'm wondering since I've hit 30K and the bike is so old what are some things i can do for this milestone. Are there any chassis bearings i need to grease? What about specs and tolerances that i may be able to check. Any info would be great! I guess what I'd like to do is get a maintenance checklist put together of everything i can grease or adjust or fiddle with. Thanks guys!
  20. I dont know about the second gens but i'd put heavier duty clutch springs in if possible. Mine will do it very rarely, sometimes i think it depends on the oil temp.
  21. You know, he's a great guy and he helps us all out alot. If there is any Karma at all, its surely gonna nurse him back to health and he'll be riding by thursday
  22. Is it basically a big, slow rolling sideways vortex of doom? Cuz thats what it looked and felt like
  23. i would assume that effort wise, you'd be better just to replace the whole unit, if you could get ahold of one. If anything, break em out, that'll solve two problems :{P
  24. I have a really sweet 89 Venture now, and I feel a little strange for owning 3 at a time, so I want a v-max. The Drag car of the bike world. Anyone have any leads. Cash is short right now, so i would really prefere a trade. I made a really nice, running 83 out of the two i have. The one just needs a rear master cylinder. The other one needs the carbs put together and both will run just fine. I have the fairings and all other plastic torn off the the one that doesnt currently run. The one that does run has like 28 thousand miles, and the one that doesnt have 58k. The one with 58k ran until i tore it apart for carb parts.
