I just got a new fuse box from Buckeye Performance. Last Thursday I had one of the fuse holders break off on the original. I placed my order on Friday and the new box came in the mail on Monday! It was about $28 and change with shipping. Don

1991 venture oil filter question?
DBOB replied to painterman67's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Hi David I went with the Rivco conversion. Got tired of spending a fortune on the stock filter. Pays for it self over the long run and much easier to change filter. Good luck; Don http://www.buckeyeperformance.com/p02.htm -

Hey Bob; Could you tell me how much of a job it is to add the rightside kicstand? I have a messed up left leg and with the brace I have to wear it is hard for me to work the left side KS. Thanks; Don

I started using the Star Tron 2 weeks ago. Had been getting 43 mpg, on my ride Sunday I got 45mpg. This was on 2 lane roads with a lot of curves, switchback and mountain roads mainly. I use it now when ever I have to use gas with ethonal. Don

You may want to check out the Natchez Trace Parkway. I have ridden the north end near Nashville and it is a great ride. Don Natchez National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Hey Ben; Glad you are able to return to work. I had a work related accident in 1992 and it totally changed my life. I've had 3 surgeries including a 3 level C Spine fusion. They were able to stablize my spine but not make things go back to normal. I am thankfull I can still ride some, if not for that, ( and a great wife ), I don't think I would still be around! Hope all works well for you! Don

Rear Shock PSI...What's Your Number?
DBOB replied to Midicat's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Not trying to hijack this thread but I do have a related question. My CLASS controler craped out on me. At first I had an occassional E4 error. I took the controler out and checked for cracked solder, reinstalled and now have nothing at all showing on the display. Is there a way to manually fill my rear shock? Thanks; Don Also, anyone have a working controller they do not need, or know how to rebuild the original unit? -

On my 86Vr I get an average of 43 mpg. This is riding on hills, mountains and twisties. I ride on secondary roads no interstates. I prefer scenic routes. Don

I have a 1986 VR and my wife has a 1988 Voyager. They are both great bikes but I still prefer my VR. There is a noticable diference in power, she has a little trouble keeping up while accelerating, and this is not redlining or over doing it. The VR handles curves much better once rolling, it is almost like a sport bike. The VR does have a higher center of gravity and has a much heavier feel while stopped. The Voyager seems more steady while ridding 2 up, at least to me. The Voyager has a much easier to use center stand. They both get close to the same gas mileage. In my opinion. you can't go wrong with either bike. Don

I have also had the missfortune of going " trailer skiing " in an enclosed trailer. Talk about a pucker moment! My trailer was on top of our drive way and the lot was raised about 6 feet. Thankfully we stopped when we crossed the street and ended up in neighbors' front yard. Was very lucky no one was coming down the road! No damage except for prde. Don
