  1. Merry Christmas right back at you and to all the members of our Venture Rider family. May we all be safe and loved.
  2. Normally it is at the radio. Not sure about the transmit without headset but cannot see off hand why it woul not. You can always try it. Here is a good article on how to. https://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/installation-guides/18330687-cb-antenna-tuning-instructions?srsltid=AfmBOorEogEZm7W8J0YTBYtu6neshaHnaRu6OL0KLnJe4_d0SrKqHml3
  3. Normal procedure is to disconnect cable from cb and connect to swr meter and short jumper from meter to CB. Take the bike somewhere away from structures to avoid any signal reflection and adjust your antenna length to get your lowest but equal swr reading on both lowest and highest channel. Alternatively if you have a preferred channel that you use most often like 28 for example, adjust to lowest reading on that channel and just check that 1 and 40 are still within the acceptable range.
  4. Smoked horsemeat on homemade raisin bread.
  5. It consited of some modified brake lines and a junction block that mounted to the bottom of the lower triple tree between the forks. Three lines connected to this block. One going to the right caliper one to the left caliper and one going to mastercylinder on the handle bar the line coming from the rear master to the left caliper is removed and discarded. A plug was used to plug the hole in the proportioning valve on the rear master. Myself I just got rid of the valve completely and connected the rear brake directly to the master.
  6. Or choke cable length.
  7. Another solution is to park by the Harleys, then no one will notice.
  8. Just do not recommend using the sheet metal screw method to remove the seal. The tolerances are tight and you risk scoring the shaft. Don't ask how I know. Lets just say I am now looking for a speedi sleeve to fit the shaft.
  9. I would swap out the highway pegs for a set of Kurykan Longhorns. Make sure you get the smaller one inch diameter clamps.
  10. If memory serves there are some minor differences but I do know many of the carb parts are interchangeable but not all. I would think they should fit physically but you may have to play with the jetting and slider needle settings to match the 1200 requirements. I would go into a parts break down for each carb and see how the part numbers for each match up.
  11. Mine is not the same as yours. but I do have the front pocket set so that it sits centered to the same height as the axle with the rear saddle adjusted so the wheel is not touching the ground. However seeing as how your front pocket is on a swivel I would be tempted to set it higher as long as the tire does not roll in so deep as to come in contact with the upright or the ground.
  12. What! No princess auto. Hope you Don't wake up in the middle of the night with the shakes.
  13. It was cosy little get together topped of with some of Marca's delicious homemade soup.
