I wouldn't eliminate the front left brake! When you consider 70-80% of your braking comes from the front brake, I would want to keep as much as possible. EDIT....I see you have a trike...maybe more braking with rear but still wouldn't eliminate any! I want to put on stainless lines and delink...but I would never intentionally reduce the braking power on these beasts!

Well, OK then.....2 out of 2 responses say I should not have expected the handle bar clamp. My Bad I guess! Like I said....I was happy with the price...just felt wrong somehow to only get half the mount!

I recently purchased a garmin Nuvii 750 off a member here. I have a couple of questions...... When I was told that the unit "came with a ram mount" was I wrong to expect that that would include the handlebar clamp? All I got was the "frame" piece that holds the gps. When I asked the member about it....he said "I'm buying a bigger unit for my bike so I need that" I can't complain too much....I got the unit and the Ram mount frame for $65 2nd question....I've heard members say they put their own planned routes into the GPS...how does that work? (I'm talking about uploading a route...not entering multiple stops on the gps)

Don't be shy about bringing a bike over the border. I bought my 88 on ebay from near Chicago.....certainly a leap of faith but it was worth it. I was surprised at how little red tape there was to get it across the border! The 1100 mile ride home gave me a great chance to get to know the bike.

For folks who think they may have water in the gas, a few ounces of methyl hydrate works wonders. Often used as gas line antifreeze

I used the 5/4 decking on mine. I sold it after a couple of years so I can't comment on the durability....but home decks last a long time!

np we'll just change your handle to "Flipper"

Got a cottage for a week....not far from home but on waterfront. It's got no internet...and I'm not gonna just to check in with this motley crew thu my cell phone I know it's highly unusual...but I'll probably be off the site for at least a few days. (suffering from withdrawal I'm sure!) Unless it rains all week like it's supposed to...then I may as well sit in my own house.

Somebody on here was offering a special fitting they made up for greasing the speedo. Makes it much easier.

For some, it's the journey...not the destination. The attraction is the working on it and restoring it. Once it's done....then on to the next project.

which tells me you either have little ability (which with so many first gens I would guess is not the case) OR I don't need any other parts!

check it just now and it STILL shows France! Wonder why the difference?

If the antenna was broken...how was it receiving stations before?

Sigh.....you all USED to be so helpful. so far I have no procedure...and no parts needed list but I got a shoulda, woulda, coulda......several comments on beer.... taking a nap.....and now band aids. Oh yeah....a helpful comment on tying the bike down and some comments on the amount of time it should take...which I guess was the original question....sort of! PLUS a TEST!!!!! All in all just another day @VR.org!

Sure! NOW you tell me. ANYTIME any of you folks are are up this way give me a call. My number is in my profile. If it's not a good time for a visit, I'll tell you. Don't mean I don't like you! But a coffee (or maybe even a beer) is always a possibility!

That they're slower than a first Gen??? Sorry....you said nothing obvious!!

May be no charges....but were you exonerated from any wrong? Much like a charge of child molestation....people figure guilty until proven innocent...and then there is always a shadow of doubt. (just to make sure you know I am NOT speaking from personal experience!)

A good reminder to everyone is to put your State or Province in the profile information so your location shows up properly with the globe. for example....jrockstangs from Marselles shows up as living in France instead of Illinois!

I found this but there's no pictures! LOL I'm thinking there must be more somewhere! I can read something a dozen times and sometimes it still doesn't sink in

Hey.....I represent that remark!

3 hours....OK so I'll book a full day on it:bang head: Before I start....do I need any parts other than a new cotter pin, oil for the rear end and moly lube?

You can download one from this site! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3384 and several others also

What ever it is I will double it at least! I want to take the back wheel off my 88 and do a complete lube of everything behind the engine. I haven't looked yet but I'm hoping there is a procedure in the library.
