    I still have the red 84 venture. It has approximately 160,000 Km's and will probably go another 160 K before any serous problems but my wife and I want to do the east coast this summer including the international rally. I'm gonna crank some people up but I don't want to be sitting in a tent somewhere looking for parts on ebay. Yea, I know it won't but... The 2000 is current and "just in case of problems", I should be able to locate parts a lot easier. I still really like the 84!! Dang it. I'm getting used to the 2000. And... I really like red bikes! I lucked out with the trailer. The colour matches the lower saddle bag paint. I still have to wire it up and register but I'm looking forward to a good trip this summer!

    Hi, I need to replace my 2000 venture windshield and was hoping to ask some questions on the F4. I normally like to be able to see over the top of the shield in the rain. I bought the bike last fall, still have my 84, first rain I almost had an accident. Light rain, 4 lane highway, left lane, highway turning into the setting sun, I couldn't see a thing. I was lucky to be able to pull over to the shoulder without getting pinged. The last person said he was having trouble seeing in the rain. Is there a difference between shields or is it the plexus he was using? I found the difference between my 84 shield and the 2000 OEM shield is the 2000 shield allows water to collect on the inside of the shield, I guess because it does not have the top curve that the 84 shield has. Again, I have heard some conflicting reports and it looks like this shield does not have the top curve. I have also heard that bugs come through the vent when open, has anyone been able to install some kind of screen on this or is it not something to worry about? Yes, I know bugs are protein. How hard is it to cut the shield down if I feel I need to be able to see above the shield? Lastly, clutch whine, I have read that some people have lessened the noise from clutch whine by changing to different windshields. Has anyone experienced this with the F4? These are very cool shields and I like a lot of the features. I just want know more before I order. I live in Canada and shipping and duty costs can add up. For the ones that bought these shields recently, how do you find them now? Thanks very much, Tom

    Thanks, Yes, I looked at those. There is a dealer in Winnipeg. I just liked style and width etc. of the other one.

    Thanks but its the width more then the length I am looking at. I kinda want my trailer, either the same width or narrower then my bike.
  14. tomephil
    Thanks Rick, I was thinking of a fibreglass trailer (or camper). I'm looking at a narrow trailer and the lady told me it was 39 inches total width which sounds good too.
  15. tomephil
    Yea, I agree Bob, I need one to get there first.

    Hi all, I am currently looking an extended trip to eastern North America this summer and need either a pull behind or camper trailer. Still don't know which way to go but I found a cargo trailer on Ebay that looks good and I was hoping someone could give me some feedback on these trailers. It is a Liberty GL Motorcycle Trailer from America's best trailers. The link is below. Does anyone have this trailer or have had dealings with the company? Thanks, Tom http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiberglass-Motorcycle-Trailers-Tow-Pull-Cargo-Behind-Harley-Goldwing-Bike-Etc-/170832291220?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c665e594&vxp=mtr
