  1. I may be way off base here, but couldn't the Breather (twinkie) cause oil and coolant to mix either from a failed gasket or an internal crack ? The only place in the manual that I could find that reference's the breather is on page 4-23
  2. Click the youtube link and help them get the 5 million likes.
  3. I was told a used helmet is the price of admission to Freebird's MD.

  5. I have a stock rubber bib you can have. PM me your address and I'll send it to you.
  6. Wishing Art a full and speedy recovery.
  7. I take them to our cabin in northern Michigan, a neighbor up there is a licensed demolition contractor, we launch them with dynamite
  8. Larry, you have the new style shocks, your shock adjustment ring is threaded and is turned by hand, our older conversions have the stepped style adjusters and a spanner wrench is needed to turn them. 1st pic is my shock (old style) 2nd pic is Larry's shock (new style)
  9. 4000 is a good turnout . We have a bar/ restaurant near here that hosts a weekly car cruise, many Sundays you'll see500-1500 cars and bikes . Check it out http://www.bakersofmilford.com Cars,trucks and bikes
  10. I have also seen them measured from the top edge of the shield straight down vertically to the top of the tank. The way they are measured varies by manufacturer.
  11. Probably no air in the shock, put some in and try again. You should get a progressive suspension air pump , it has a gauge and is necessary for putting air in the front forks (7PSI max) in forks. Like [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Suspension-GP3-60-0-60-Gauge/dp/B000WJEORY]Progressive Suspension GP3-60 '0-60 PSI' Mini Gauge Pump : Amazon.com : Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31wpFe8VjpL.@@AMEPARAM@@31wpFe8VjpL[/ame] one.
  12. I opened the fairing and put a splitter in the line behind the cassette and plugged in the output there. Doing it that way you don't have to have the cassette door open all the time.
  13. When you get back in town, I have something for you !
  14. Got that new Hoveround being delivered soon huh ? :rotf:
  15. Going thru pre-ride check list Keys Helmet Map Stay out of cow pasture Put kick stand down at end of ride
  16. :rotfl::rotf:
  17. Ha...go figure there's a marina 4 miles from me with non-ethanol 89, I know where my next fill will be.
  18. Pretty sure I was a How-to, to make your own links. There was a member here that had a few sets for sale not long ago. Do a search and you'll find it.
  19. I pulled my 350# trailer all over MT, WY, ID. , mountains, switchbacks and slab riding, it's a bit slower to get going and to stop. Fuel mileage takes a hit. I pushed it hard going over Beartooth and Chief Joseph Hwy with no problems and on 287 between Jackson Hole and Riverton, Wy there was 20 miles of deep mud where they tore the road out, we were leaving 4" deep ruts, I think the trailer helped to keep the bike tracking well. Mind you this was all 2-up riding. I hope to NEVER encounter another road like that, it was a white knuckle ride the whole 20 miles So yes the Venture is a Great bike to tow with.
  20. Speedy recovery and follow the Doc's instructions.
  21. I like it !! Nice job If you do offer them up I'd be interested in 2 of them. Otherwise do you have a how to, so we can build it ourself.
  22. I'd say 12 beers and riding home from the bar would qualify as high miles... Well somebody had to say it.
  23. I came home from work one night to find my wife and friend sitting in the kitchen talking , my wife turned to me and said there's a chicken dinner in the oven. I washed up got a plate out and opened the oven door, out pops this live chicken and starts running around the kitchen talking,darned near gave me a heart attack . They were rolling on through floor laughing . I wasn't so amused.
  24. 3 for me, I'll get them from you at MD.
  25. A friend has one, I shot it twice, the first shot was on purpose, the second shot was airborn, as I tried to control the recoil I don't think I'll shoot it again, it was like shooting both barrels of a 12Ga. mag pistol at once! I think he said it was like $4 a pop. Good thing there was 4 miles of open swamp beyond the targets.
