Oops forgot to answer your other questions. Yes it is a Markland hitch. The Ball goes through the rack attachment with the hole guides up and the flat surface to the flat surface of the markland hitch.
-
Ya My rack is a Revco and I did see that one.
-
Hmmm did not think about that. Being that I already did it last night I went and measured it this morning and I have 12 1/2 inch clearance. I have a couple of speed bumps on my street. I'll see how it does. Ther I could always move the plate up and use the lower holes. I did find a nice soft LED white license plate light. Looks really nice and soft at night.

Go to http://www.rivcoproducts.com/ Scroll down a little an on the left search for hitch. Look for SKU: GL18008 Quick Detach Cooler Rack (11"x16") Woo prices went up by about $35.00 There is a bigger rack SKU: GL18010 But it blocks my turn signals Besides I also go the Golf Caddy. It disconnects really easy.

I'm not sure if I understood it all but did cut 1 row out then I put a leather shoe string thru the outer beads and it seemd to work. Thanks.
-
Hope to hear you on the Venture Riders soon, Bob. -
Anyone know how I would cut the long tail part the bead seat.

Think I will make a plate to attach the License plate and frame with a light. Only I will hang the plate below the cooler rack so I can carry something that might be a bit bigger than the cooler rack so the luggage can hang over the edge of the rack.
-
Ya, going to look for a colapsable cooler from top down or a more retangular cooler. I also have a light I could attach to it.
-
Got them attached now.
-
So what do you all think. Will this pass? What do those who pull a trailer do when the cooler rack blocks the plate. I know I could drill holes in back of the cooler rack, and put the plate there.

Painted it last night and installed it this morning. Here is a picture. I spoke to my friend and told him that there are 3 who are very interested and would like to know what he would charge to make some. He said that being I'm going to be gone for awhile and retuning mid July to wait till then to see if more members might be interested. So pass the word along.
-
Here is a picture of mine. I really like the retangular shape, concaved mirror and the extra angle to the outside. I got them at Fred Meyers for 1.99 each. If you would like a set I can mail them.
-
I'll ask him.

I'm riding from Seattle area to Southern California area and was wonder if any one with a Spot GPS would consider loaning/renting theirs out. They are about $100 for the Spot and about $100 for a 1 year subscription. I don't think I would use it that much else I would consider purchasing one. I'm leaving next Sat (16th June) early morning.
-
Yes they arrived yesterday and I got most all in the mail today. I have to get some much larger envelopes for the 14 inch patches. I'll get them out tomorrow. See my thread I created today. Venture Patches Are In .... Except

I first made one all by hand and it was ok. When I showed it to my Goldwing machinest friend he found some flaws in it. He took some pictures and measurements and milled me this bracket. We made a few mods like milling around the horn button, milled the angles for added extra strength, milled for the screw so to take the bend out of mine. It so cool how he progams his machine, and we just keep tweeking the program. I plan on painting it but not sure if I want to paint it black for the buttons might be hard to see. Maybe a different shade of black.

Ya, I know about the white lights facing backwards. I may do amber, or red. I want to get the attention of cars to the rear of me if needed but yet allowing the rest of limbs to control the bike. I have an alternating flasher (left, right, left, right) but thats probably illegal also. I know that when people brake to tell the vehicle following to back off some times irritates them. I wonder how an amber light would be received. I would not want to get on the bad side of a cager.
-
I wanted to add a couple of new switches, but I wanted the switches to be accessible by my thumb without moving my hand. Two push button switches. 1) for my Walmart special 55 watt really small lights that I hooked to the mirror brackets. This to get the attention of whom ever I feel the need to see me. Its a push switch. Push it, it is on. Let it go, it is off. 2) I plan on adding on a couple of rear white LEDS, with same kind of switch.

I purchased a set of Passenger Arm Rest for my MKII and the hardware that mounts to the VR has some bad rusting and peeling parts. I know that it is like cancer and so it will spread. But I'm not into rechomeing for that is expensive. So I could use some suggestions as to how to best treat the peeling and rusting chrome. I don't know much about the mounting of it yet, but I'm pretty sure that it is on the inside where it can't be seen. I've included a couple of pictures. Thanks for your advise.

Gees, after reading most of the threads here, I feel like a toddler just turned 60 in March.

What actually is Vapor Lock? Are there something one can do to miminize vapor lock occuring.
-
Yes, on the Progressive. Initially after the progressive I did not put any air in so it would have been Zero. I did not like the ride at Zero So I pressed Low an Auto and it put 11 lbs in and I did not like that eithor. So I let as much as I could out and so remained at 7 lbs. I liked it a bit better. So now I would like to get it down to 5 lbs then maybe 3 lbs.

After putting in some air into the front forks then when letting out the air, the front air pressure won't go below 7 lbs. Thats on the center stand with the front wheel off the ground. I put the sw to Front, Manuel, Then press the decrease button. The air is let out and the pressure comes down but then stops at 7 lbs. How does one get it down to below 7 lbs.
