Sad thing chopping and modding up such a rare bike. I couldn't ever do that to mine, in fact I just put a down payment down on another one that's super clean. Looking forward to picking it up.

I get my parts from eBay and usually don't have any problem finding them. I just picked up at my second Venture 2 days ago. I got a great deal on it but I have to go through the thing. Before I could get her on the road

I have the exact same carburetor setup as you and I'm experiencing a little bit of a strange issue. I have the idle down, perfect. Choke and all that. But I'm bogging down about quarter throttle. Not 100 percent sure but I'm thinking it's something to do with the accelerator pump, not giving enough fuel. Almost like the idle jet has a delay before it switches to main as stupid as that sounds. Advice would be appreciated Especially when it comes to tuning air fuel.

I've got one of these. It's as good a bike as you say! The air-ride suspension control is dead, so I'll take a look under as you suggest, but is there a way to just add a medium amount of air to the rear suspension and just leave it?

That bike was alot of fun. I quickly realized I put way to many miles on in a year to have a sporty so I upgraded to a road glide. But that bike was serviced on point and never gave me trouble! Make sure it's on a tender in the winter though

Looks great i have the same bike i love it changing the seat was a big game changer and i agree the stock pipes are terrible i put a Vance and Hines 2 into 1 on it people are way more aware of me now stock pipes are wayyy to quiet. My tail light is out on the right side you wouldn’t happen to know what size bulb to get would you? I looked at the manual it didn’t say which size it is

@@amarmuratagic7834 I'm 6'4" about 230ish...i have this same bike and right now i still have the mid controls that came on it. Forward controls are at the top of my list. I've been struggling to find some after market ones that aren't as over priced as the ones harley sells.

From the brief view of the clutch setup you should have a little free play, just a couple millimetres. It should not snap back tight against the persh.
