Hey guys don't get me wrong I hope I'm not coming across as a die hard Harley owner. The Yamaha Venture 06 Midnight Special was one of my favorite bikes. Engine design is superior to the V twin Harley. Frame design of the Harley and handling characteristics are in my opinion years ahead of the Venture. I spent a lot of time and money on my Venture to match the ride of the Harley Ultra. Also, I've spend approx. $600.00 in preventive maintence on the Harley 110cu SE engine the last two weeks to avoid a break down in the future. To mention billet cam plate, high volume oil pump, heavy duty inner cam bearings, SS premium lifters and SS adjustable pushrods these are items that should have been stock on a CVO bike, believe my dealer was informed with my thoughts on this mater. This is why I went Indian when I traded the 09 CVO Harley Dyna. '

Thanks guys, waiting for better weather so I can rider her.

Ok here we go again Moderator!!!!!!!

Well at least you can go in and still buy a new 2015 Harley. Where can you buy a new 2015 Yamaha Venture? I must say my Indian Chieftian is a lot more comfortable than the Harley FatBob Dyna that I traded this past Wednesday. The 15,000 trade in value for the Harley wasn't bad though.

Same bike, you need to keep all them grimliens out while you there.

Hey, I enjoy working on Yamaha's too.

Also changed light weight cam bearings to B168 heavy duty type.

New SS lifters, high volume oil pump, SS pushrods, billet cam plate and 255 SE cams.

Just getting back to you, Tach would be handle bar mount. You can check it out in the Classifieds under Member Vendors. I use a Drag Specialities wasted spark Tach which when properly install gives a dead-on RPM reading. The Black Venture has it shown.

You mean you want to sacrifice your cassette player for gauges.....blasphemy not another one. It can be done. Don't worry I want make you watch while I'm roto-zipping the dash. Tachs. are also a nice addition to the three gauge set-up. The only thing is I work out of my own shop everything to do the install is here. You can do this just take a couple drinks of apple pie before you start modifying the dash unless your like me nerves of steel and not faint hearted. Oh Mike thanks for chiming in.

I have only one comment and I've said this before, "Ride like Hell and You will soon get there.":shock3:

Great work, "Boss", I've embraced the site change.

9mm Sig has found a home in the tour pak....

Cruse or gift ain't it fun and satisfing, when a plan comes together!!!!!

Hey great looking Bike, its good too know there is some creative people left in this world. WildBill1,

Beware I enjoy riding the Blue Ridge Parkway as good as anyone none the less this is a dangerous road especially now that it has so much maintenance work to be performed. I've seen cracks in the middle of the road where a M/C front wheel could easily drop-in, dips and holes that can launch off the bike. This road demands your 100% concentration, so don't get too wrapped up in the scenery and watch that rough road. Lost a good friend this past Friday, Don Tilley. I've also had other friends over shoot curves due to being inattentive. Don't let this happen to You!!!!!!

Randy, we got a new Gov. and he is tight with the money want even ask the Feds. for any funds.

Can't say that I want too go flying or riding with you. Just one question, what made you think you could ride the bike home with the front wheel locked-up?

They are getting more in tune with the touring crowd. Should have been offered last year when they introduced the cruisers. If only they had left the S&S Engine as they had before and offered in 120 cu. I would be riding one now but, alast no cigar.

I know this place, I've seen this place, I'm going there tonight, dreams are wonderful.
