Threw me for a loop too, Harley was last on my list it's growing on me but I still have not decided if I will keep it or not, have only put about 1000 miles on it since I got it so still not enough saddle time to be certain.

So far my wife likes the rear seat better but not as much room for me, I like the cruise control better and the ride is quieter (no clutch whine), the saddle bags are much smaller, parts are way more expensive and shorter maintenance interval, I do like how nimble it is, don't like the amount of heat that comes off the engine. I will keep at least one Venture the jury is still out on the Harley have to put a few more miles on it to make up my mind.

Got a call from a family member in a real bind needing to sell his bike so I bought it will ride it a while and see if I like it if I do I will sell one of the Ventures if not I will sell it. http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx248/etcswjoe/IMG_6660_zpsca34b099.jpg

Sounds like you are now well indoctrinated.

How did you ever ride in Charleston?

I think they are but my wife thinks the Corbin is wider.

Does the Corbin have a backrest?

That is going way too far, I can forgive the kill switch or misaligned mirror bit damaging a bike is way overboard.

Was in the Harley shop today and when I came out and got on the Venture I noticed someone had turned my mirrors down.

add 8&10 mm to your list 10mm is the one I use the most.

I have had M61A1MECH's harness installed for awhile now with no issues whatsoever.

Cool! Can you still see the license plate? I found out here in SC they really frown upon things blocking the tag.

I wear everything but the jacket in the summer. What are some recommendations for summer riding jackets?

It's only 4 hours from me, might make a nice weekend ride.

I would ride 20-30% you will probably not get too wet if at all, however it depends on your comfort level do not ride if you do not think it is safe for you to do so. Another item you may want to look at is it 20-30% chance of rain or is it for severe weather? Rain is one thing lightning and high winds are another.

Thanks for the update, always an interesting read.

Must have just bought it and not had a chance to get tags and insurance before they picked it up.

I usually fold everything the best that I can and Iron it out in the hotel. With the jacket I lay it on top folded loosely in the trunk, if it is cool enough you can always wear the jacket under a light windbreaker.

You do not have to completely remove it, I just find it easier if you do.

You will need to remove the trunk below is a link to the Marshall Mod page: http://www.bludolphintravel.com/gmg/marshallmod.htm

Cool

My wife and I outweigh you by a considerable amount and even with no air in the shock have never experienced what you have and with no marks on the tires or fender I would check over wiring to make sure it was not burnt wires,I have had that happen before due to a PO mod.

In our thoughts and prayers,

Thanks for the video, turned out great.
