Being new to the RSV world, and having done many conversions, but haven't heard back from any of the ones converted except to say WOW why did I wait!! Which is good. Now if it was a Goldwing I know which tire works good, better, and best. However for the Venture, I don't have a clue ( Yet ) The tires on the bike when I got it were new, so it will be a while ( I hope ) before I need another. It is a Continental Conti. What I am asking is: What tire on the front of the Venture is considerer the best for the Trike. Is there size change Etc: There isn't too much found in the search.

If you wear glasses drop them in and watch the crud com off the nose pieces, and hindges..... I miss mine for that at least,,,

Check out the classified on this board: http://gl1800riders.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=21 There are a ton there for sale from $9,500 up,,,,, may have to travel they are from all over. And yes you can get risers for the GW I have the MBL Narrow or Standard that brings the bars back and in. In my opinion the stock bars are for apes they are so wide,,,

It was on the bike when I gt it,,, I think I have seen them on ebay though It is ABS, and a pain to get off ( huge tape on it )

Yes from Friday just after noon until at least noon or just before Monday as far as I know. That has been the schedule for the last 4 or 5 years. We will be camped by the lake next to the Mariana ( hopefully )

Well one thing for sure : I ain't a pin stripper that is for sure, but they didn't turn out all that bad. Breaks it up some and adds accent to the body, and front. I used a 1/4 double strip Met Blue. The trunk and side covers came out good with the straight lines, but ,,, well the fenders are a little lacking in my opinion,,,,, I also added a T handle, and got rid of the obnoxious flush lock that was there. http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/kj5ix/01%20Venture/pinstripfender.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/kj5ix/01%20Venture/pinstripfront.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/kj5ix/01%20Venture/pinstriprear.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/kj5ix/01%20Venture/pinstripright.jpg http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/kj5ix/01%20Venture/pinstriptrunk.jpg

Give it a little time to come loose and make a mess... Go ahead and sew it now before you cant..... but go slow the glue will bind things up, and break the needle ( more than once to I might add )

Ya know Electric Metallic Blue was my second choice,,,, The SO wanted a Yeller Ride,,, and I do like it too. I even toyed with several designs involving the Elect Blue as trim, or accent, but couldn't come up with one that looked right....... I just got the trim pinstripe in Friday which is the Elect Blue, and may work on putting some on today... Wished that I had the tape when I was putting it back together it sure would have been easer to do,,,,,

If your taking it down to Murray ; Brad will have them on in no time..

Pin Wall has a set of Black ones on Ebay now OOPS one gone already they don't last long, but do show up now and then -
Got the sensor, and changed it out tonight, and that helped a ton. It is now at least in the pall park, and the cruse will once again set in a sort of way,, It still seems weak on the set, and drops easily. The other thing I did find out is that it is way off speed wise; indicate 64/65, and GPS says 58/59, I was only able to get a couple of miles on it tonight. Any ideas on the speed difference.. I know there is a difference like the Honda, but 5 - 6 miles... Next to figure out the cruse intermitentcy...
-
Yes they are one of the options offered. I haven't noticed a tremendous loss in performance, some drop in gas mileage of course.

Send her down I'll take her for a spin :) don't have to worry about the slow speed top heavy stuff.............
