  1. More working room to swing the wrench to get that axle nut loose. It's on there pretty snug, afterall. Plus as I recall you have to spin the axle nut off some, then slide the axle out (to the right), spin the axle nut some more, slide the axle further to the right again... all because you can't get the axle nut all the way off the axle shaft with the left muffler in place. UNLESSSSSSS.... you reposition the axle shaft further to the right as you go. See what I'm sayin here?
  2. I was able to do it with just the right muffler removed, but removing both would definitely result in more working room. Up to you.
  3. Blast. Looks like I'm going into uncharted territory. Well, when (if?) I break mine maybe somebody's got a spare that I can be more careful with the second time around and I can still be functional. But hopefully I can get this one apart and figure out the routing for us. Stay tuned (it'll be a few days before I get back to it again)!
  4. Since I don't use my audio equipment, this afternoon I got busy yanking some of my 93 apart (multiple things are going on at once). I've got the amp equipment removed. No problems there. This is what I'm thinking of doing. The mute switch on the handlebar audio controls (what IS that box called, anyway?) is a 2-position simple on/off switch. When I convert my headlight to HID, that switch would function nicely as my on/off control for the headlight, eh? So I traced the wire routing and got that whole box and connector removed from the bike and now it sits on the bench. Buuuttt.... there doesn't seem to be an easy way of disassembling the thing further than where I've got it now (see photo), and I have no idea which wires go to which switching devices in there. I looked for other threads concerning this, but I can't seem to find anything quite this detailed. I don't suppose any of our long term members have been down this road before and perhaps somebody has a pinout of this whole switch control? Dingy? Dingy? DDDIIINNNGGGYYY???????
  5. If you're fond of BBQ stuff do yourself a favor and stop in at Gates BBQ. It's worth the trip and the stuff of legend in KC. http://www.gatesbbq.com/GeneralInformation/Location.aspx Their extra hot sauce is... delicious.
  6. If anybody wants to watch some entertaining BBQ recipes, check out BBQ Pit Boys on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/BarbecueWeb A particular fave is their bacon cheeseburger deluxe. Haven't tried making it, but just watching it will make your mouth water, guaranteed.

  7. I don't mind lending you mine (93 model- but content will be almost identical), but I'd like it back somewhere down the road and prefer that it doesn't get all dogeared or water damaged or anything of the sort. Wing me a PM with your mailing address and I'll zing it out.
  8. So basically it should be finished in December?
  9. Spend yourself plenty of time here: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13
  10. That brake fluid will quickly become junk like that. You want MINIMAL exposure to air- best fluid flushing is done on a warm, extremely dry day so the fluid doesn't absorb moisture out of the air. At least you've narrowed down your issue to clutch release.
  11. Throwout/release bearing.
  12. And in what month did you start all those procedures (that it took you until today to complete them)?
  13. I toldja- haul that bad boy out and ride it yourself. You're tall enough and you're familiar enough and you have riding experience too. NO EXCUSES I SAY! GO!
  14. Pinwall Cycle
  15. Might wanna check the posting date (and user status) for JKT.
  16. :rotf::stirthepot:
  17. It just so happens that I'm up for adoption...

  19. I snatched a ceramic H4 connector off ebay to replace my melted one. This is just a temporary solution- I'll probably wind up converting to HID at some point.
  20. In addition to the stock 2tone blue jobbies (the later ones... such as my 93) that I like, there are two in particular on this site that stick out above all the rest. 1) http://www.venturerider.org/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1164 (after the repaint of course, not the stock coloring) 2) http://www.venturerider.org/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1091 (same) Totally diggin that contrast between the yellow and black.
  21. The actual creator of this video is folks by the name of Animusic. http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/musicmachine.asp
  22. Haha. Apparently this guy doesn't know the difference between Dodge and Yamaha. And I'm with Brian- 60+mpg my posterior. Sorta like this guy with his "Kevorkian" pegs and accessories: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVWtiLxe614]1987 Yamaha Venture Royale For Sale on Ebay - YouTube[/ame]
  23. Is that your own personal railroad on the left in that last set of pics? Just build a ramp up into one of the boxcars and use that as your garage!
  24. Are you talking about a Venture or Yammer Dan himself? The description applies either way!
  25. Sweet! I knew you'd be the next likely candidate. PM sent.
