TCI needed

[Russ]

If you just happen to see any 2nd gen or tour deluxe hard bags:fingers-crossed-emo would you please let me know.

Thanks!!!

Walter

 

I'll keep an eye out. I think it's mostly first gen stuff, though. from what I've been told, all this is the former inventory from a gentleman named Al Westfall that used to work on Ventures and Goldwings, and when he passed away, this junkyard purchased everything he had. If anyone else has requests, though, I'd be happy to look for ya. Never know what ya might get lucky with.

I would like to thank all of you who have gave ideas and direction no finding a TCI I resoldered the 12 joints between the heat sink nuts and the outside connecters and plugged it back in and loand behold it fired right up putting it back together now and going for a ride to make sure that was the problem. Thank You Dave:thumbsup:

ok, I went out there today, and after two hours of waiting for the guy with the key to get there, I got into the magic bus. biggest problem is that there's goldwing stuff mixed up in with everything else, but here's a list of what I did see (Sorry guys, no TCI boxes):

 

-Right saddlebag (right hand side as sitting on bike) for '83-85

-left and right fairing halves, no colors don't match

-Venture cruise module (that mounts under left fairing) w/ handlebar assembly (the doohicky with the kill switch, starter switch, and cruise control switch)

-Radiator Grill cover

-trunk luggage rack (possibly from a GW, but looked more like the one off my 1st Gen)

-plastic housing insert for right fairing (that plastic jobber that the cb and class mount into)

- various starters (once again, possibly from GW's, but there's about 20 of them in there)

-plastic surround thingy that goes around the ignition switch, you know, the thingie with the venture cruise lights and on/off button on it

-Various Wiring harnesses (all in a pile, looked like the mess that bongobobny was working out)

-box full of oil filters (grab bag. boxes with filters in them are labeled w/ part numbers, but no clue what they go to)

- Baker Air wings (looked like complete set, but don't quote me on it. they're smoke colored, once again, possibly off a GW)

-random brake caliper and carb rebuild kits, K&L brand

-Several New in box fuel petcocks (not Venture, but yamaha branded)

-older GW trunk (one of the removable ones with the handle on top)

-bunch of carb sets (didn't see any for Venture, though.)

-exhaust pieces (I think Venture, but once again, don't quote me on it.)

- False tank cover

-passenger armrests and driver backrest ( sorry, no longer available. they came home with me)

 

That's just what I can remember. was a bit warm in there and was on a mission trying to find those TCI boxes. next time I'll hopefully remember to take a camera and get pictures of stuff so maybe I can give ya'll a better idea of what's there. and hopefully I won't have a 4 year old with me trying to pick up everything he can see.

If it were going to my bike, I'd say sure, however those armrests and the backrest are going to be taking a trip to Michigan for our friendly neighborhood cephalopod. and I'm willing to bet he's going to have to flex that fabricating muscle of his to make it all work as I really think that the mounting hardware on these are GW. But just to let ya see what that backrest looks like...

nope that mounting braket is for a first gen althoough you are missing the mounts that bolt to the sid eof the bike, if you need pics pm me and I'll send them to you. Thats what i have on my90 vr. The backrest itself is a little different from mine but that could be just a recoverd piece.

I've actually got the mounting brackets with it. but they don't look the same as the ones on my '86. here's the brackets along with the passenger armrests.

Those mounting brackets are for an 83 to 85 Venture.

If the luggage rack is in decent shape and would fit an '88 Venture I would be interested.

Hello Squidley,

 

I had a similar problem with my 87. I found a used TCI Box that works great. You might want to check out a place called Slicks Great Lakes Salvage. This is where I got my used box from and it has been working great ever since. Maybe I got lucky but that place a good supply of parts. The address is 519 Mason St, Mason, MI 48854. I hope this info helped.

Thanks for the info Todd, Dave actually fixed his TCI himself as he had a cold solder joint in it. Matter of fact he's here at the house tonight on the bike, I will keep that salvage yard in memory though...Thanks Bud
