  1. Had a red 2000 model, Thought it was the best, now I have my second midnite, The cool thing is these were commercially produced. If the red one does not work...there are literally hundreds more to choose from when the time is right.

  3. Good Luck...Had my left medial meniscus done a few years ago, outpatient, walked out on it that day (not very far walk) Follow the Dr orders. God Bless and a speedy recovery.

  4. I do agree with most everything said so far. I often hear how crazy I am for riding, and how I must have a death wish of sorts. My standard answer is----The Bible says "I know the day you come, I know the day you go, I know the number of hairs on your head" With this being said ... I shall not walk in fear of anything, riding included. When my time comes, I go home, It should not matter if I am on a plane, train, big truck, in bed, or out riding. Just know that if I go while riding, I was doing something that I truly enjoy..

  5. What about using raised forms and put the gravel above grade. With a weed block fabric, vents in the forms(pvc pipe) will allow standing water to flow and dissipate. no soil to remove, less labor, more riding time. Just thinking out loud.

  6. One up for the utopia. The rsv and rstd mounting brackets are different, as per application. I do have an extra with both brackets I kept of the last bike trade with all the other accessories that I have duplicated through the trades.

  7. For what it is worth I do roam craigs list regularly and I have found a 2001 venture listed for $3,000. It shows under 70 k miles. If one of you is hunting a fair priced gen 2, this may work for you. I do not know how to post links, so go to Lubbock texas craigs list and look under motorcycles.

  8. I got 160 miles in Saturday, Went to White river lake rode around and came home. Temp 65 when I left about 10:30 and 80 when I returned around 4. Sunday temps dropped with frozen sleet and Monday morning was 6 with wind chil at -4. Wow I am happy to have gotten to ride Saturday.

  9. Ignition key switches are the same, however they do have different part numbers. This is because the plug is different on the rsv vs the rstd. rstd is red in color and the rsv is white( I think) I have ran a rstd switch on a venture by changing the plastic plug(Removed wires and fitted them into the old rsv plug). There was an ignition switch in the rstd classifieds cheap, last time I looked. Hope this helps.

  10. 2006 and earlier do not have the particulate filter, They are a bit louder and do not require the def fluids. They are easy to modify the power, with plug and play modules. I have owned a 99 cummins 2500 std trans 4x4 (edge chip with intake and exhaust mods), and a 06 Harley Davidson F250 4x4 powerstroke (Banks six gun module with intake and exhaust mods). The dodge had unbelievable low end torque, a true work horse of a pickup. The powerstroke crazy fast, however it did not tow as well(my opinion) cummins took 12 quarts of oil to change and the ford took 16 quarts with a $20 filter and you had to use ford oil. That is the regular maintence, and it does add up fast. put lots of miles on both, and enjoyed them both. I did not need eather one, but they were fun.
