    Snow Rollers in Ohio

    There are hundreds of these in at a soccer field I went by today at lunch. They are somewhat rare, conditions need to be in a tight range of several parameters for them to form. There are trails behind them where they rolled across ground. It was about 34 deg. F. over the weekend at times...

    I will need to get at least a pair of custom throttle cables made for the RSV/Venture/VMax Hybrid project. The bike is using a 2nd gen frame with a 1st gen motor in it. Venture 2nd gen motors were dogs. I am considering eliminating the throttle junction block interface and running new...

    2nd oil drain bolt on 1200/1300 blocks

    While cleaning block up today for my winter project bike, I took some pictures of the 2nd drain plug on the 1200/1300 blocks. On the left side, directly under the middle drive cover there is a 14mm head bolt that goes into block and drains an oil pocket. This pocket appears to serve as a...

    Anyone need a very nice set of pistons, rings & rods??

    I got a set of pistons on ebay that seller said were for a 1300 motor. They supposedly came out of a very low mileage motor, they were very clean so I got them. It was worth it to me to get them just for the rings. They are very nice, but they are 1200 VMax pistons. Probably be a loose fit in...

    Looking for a broken transmission gear set

    Any one have a tranny gear set out of a VMax they would part with cheaply? Looks like VMax's have the 2nd gear issue same as early Ventures, which would leave other gears usable. I am interested in seeing if gears are swappable with Ventures. Looks like 4th & 5th are a little better in the...

    ABS brakes on a 1st Gen Venture ???? Tweety Wants them !!

    Getting closer to winter and I have been mulling over the idea of fitting a set of ABS brakes to Tweety for its annual winter upgrade. Not as far fetched as it may seem. The technology is out there and proven. It is just a matter of integrating an existing system onto a 1st gen Venture...
