    Yamaha Venture Royale Relay Help Needed

    Two wires go to a turn signal flasher and it isn't necessary to use an OEM I think. Perhaps cut the wires going into the OEM unit and use a $5 turn signal relay and put spade connectors on the wires or solder them to the new relay. I used standard or heavy duty relays on all my bike builds...

    Flooding in Kerr County Texas

    We just stayed in the HTR TX Hill Country RV Resort, have stayed in the Johnson Creek RV Resort in Hunt many times and the Old River Road RV Resort south of town. All are on rivers. Wow... saw a number of RVs that were swept away in the flooding.

    Flooding in Kerr County Texas

    Medina County where I live has seen fairly heavy rains but the Medina River hasn't seen flooding like they had on the Guadalupe in Kerr county. Our lake could use the a bunch more water as it is seriously low. We are about 50 miles away. Got this last night just after midnight: The National...

    Yamaha Fork Seal Kit?

    The models with the "C" on the end are California spec; that is, there are differences in the carburetion primarily and typically almost 99 percent of parts are the same and the Cali model will have smog related additions.

    Jacking points on CSC GL1800 Trike 2009

    If you lift the front for service to the front wheel, be careful about the location of the oil filter. It is easily damaged. Don't ask how I know as I have already learned this lesson.

    How much rake?

    I suspect that a person looking at a 5 degree or 7 degree rake will not consider one more cool than the other. I have a raked front end (it is between 4 and 6 degrees; can't remember) and I have never thought of my Goldwing front end adding to its cool look.

    New From Central NY

    Welcome from sunny Texas Hill Country. Guess you are likely familiar with Lackland AFB. I worked on the training annex for a few years after moving down here to Texas many years ago (civilian employee). I frequently played golf at the Lackland GC and Kelly AFB GC (gone now).

    INDIAN ?

    Wonder with all the tariff stuff if Honda or other overseas bike builder will consider putting factories back in the USA? See the TV ads for Mitsubishi bragging they are assembled in the USA so no worry about tariffs and Mitsubishi says they have lowered the MSRP on various models. Not sure...

    INDIAN ?

    This seems to be a trend. Young folk are not interested in motorcycles these days as they were when i was a kid. I think that is why some of the companies like Honda are building automatic transmission bikes because kids don't know how to use a clutch and manual transmission. Not sure if this...

    Yamaha Venture Trike Pipe Recomendations?

    I had a 2001 RSV MM Edition and put slipons bought at JC Whitney. At the time I worked for a start up in Austin with an inside covered garage and all the folks owned expensive high end cars with alarm system they would set WHILE IN A CLOSED PARKING AREA. I loved to ride through and rev and set...

    Emergency Start Procedures for GL1800 Encore Trike

    I found all these instructions perhaps not applicable to an 06 GL1800 trike. What year Goldwings do these apply to and is only a CSC thing?

    TINTED CAR WINDOWS

    I also like to have eye contact with vehicles at intersections or pulling out and always watch their tires to make sure they are not rolling even a little bit. Texas Tint Laws In Texas, vehicle window tint laws specify the visible light transmission (VLT) percentages allowed for different...
