    You removed both clamps up front and removed the bolts in the back? Should just pull out if you have not you need to remove the saddle bags to get to everything. Also when you go to reinstall stock the rubber bushings may not be there unless you took them out when you put the HD ones on Take a look at this thread http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37981

    The bike has two horns the chrome one usually stops working fairly soon. You can adjust the screw on the back and it may start working again, however most folks either let it be or replace it with something like a wolo or stebel compact air horn.

    My issue with GPS is I was part of the testing back when it first came out and there are significant limitations and it is still a military system with an aging infrastructure plus half the fun is just getting lost. I always have a map backup.

    Rick depends on the state one of my bikes has a salvage title and it is insured through the company that had it totalled.

    All of the ones I have checked into want it to be an antique or a custom, think I will check around a little more. Interested on how this goes.

    Sharp looking bike, you could always go get some ice cream there is a place in Cape Gireadeau Mo called Andy's that has awesome frozen custard.

    I left mine in ACC overnight and it still cranked right up, battery is several years old.

    Can't have the ice cream part of the reason I am in the shape I am. I had a small circulatory issue of my head that caused damage to the muscles and nerves in my left eye so I now have double vision doc says I may see improvement anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months if it is not permanent.

    Well it looks like I am going to be sidelined at least 3 months or more so I am thinking I should do some serious maintenance on the bikes. So here is what I am thinking: Do the valve check, both bikes are way over due Check the clutches in both bikes maybe go ahead and upgrade the springs Check and adjust steering head bearings Change and Bleed Clutch and Brakes Flush cooling systems Check all the hoses and rubber Change oil in one just did the other Set the other one up to tow a trailer also Finish the solo mod on the one and paint it Lube everything that should be lubed. Any other ideas?

    Well come to find out the double vision is not related to the kidney stones or the meds, seems like I had a small circulatory event that has damaged some nerves and muscles in my left eye. Doc said he is pretty sure i will recover in about 3 months but there is the possibility it is permanent. Guess time will tell but in the mean time I have two RSV's and a new to me trailer I cannot use. I think I could use some of that vodka about now. Oh and if you are a diabetic and have high blood pressure listen to what your doc says and crap like this may be prevented.
  23. etcswjoe
    Prayers sent and hope for a quick recovery.
