Shot in the Dark

[Condor]

OK, you never know unless you ask. I need a piece of chrome for the '91. I don't care if it's bent, rusted, etc. As long as it's in one piece. It's number #11 in the attached pick of accessories. When I bought the bike it was already missing, and my guess, from the condition of the fairing, it was lost during the big drop?? Anyway I have the left side and could sure use the right side to keep the bike from falling over.... So if anyone has seen or might have one laying around on an old upper right, and would like to part with it, shoot me a price. Thanks.

I think those have been out of production for some time, your best bet would be Ebay, and good luck finding them, I havent seen any of those items, I have one of them on my first gen, they would be the chrome air inlets on the bottom side of the fairing, and I aint parting with them, I would like those chrome edge covers that you are looking for, I have only seen one bike with them.

Any of the VentureLine accessories have been out of production for a long time. I have been watching Ebay, and Hess4less did post two of them last year. One was on a fairing and the other was new in the baggy. I put a ridiculously high snipe bid on the NOS, and figured I no one would be as stupid as me, and I owned it... And was still outbid by a guy in Norway?? Disappointing to say the least. I just thought that maybe one of the VR members might have one laying around. Like I said it never hurts to ask.....

Jack,

 

Is that the piece right at the top edge of the bend in the fairing. Kinda curved at the top and about 6 inches long?

Yep, that's it.... What's your address.....

Don't even think about my feathered friend.

 

When I got my bike it was missing one of the trim pieces and the other one was falling off. (held on by double face tape) I found a used set on eBay and did a mod to get them mounted.

 

For the life of me I can't remember which side was missing or which side I had left over. I'll do some digging tomorrow and see if I can find the extra one. If I can find it and it's the one you need it's yours.

[Condor]

Got my fingers and toes crossed....

[Snaggletooth]

That's probably a good idea considering what I have to look though. LOL!

[Squeeze]

Mike, have Condor come over and locate the Part himself, you could give him precise Instructions how to organize your Stuff and overlook the whole Proces .... :whistling:

 

 

Yeah i know, it's a 50/50 Chance, but the best Bet so far ... :fingers-crossed-emo:fingers-crossed-emo

[Snaggletooth]

I don't know Squeeze. I've heard stories about his garage. I think there was a picture once. I think it was a garage.

 

I think I'll stick with my storage system.

:crackup::crackup:very sophisticated System. Do you mind if i'd copy the Essentials ?

 

I remember the Garage Pic, that's why i recommended you to overlook the whole Process ...:bluesbrother:

Missing the same part on the left side of my bike. I have not been able to find one either.

[Snaggletooth]

Well Jack........I've been through about every storage box, zip lock baggie, tool box drawer, shelf, parts bin, my pockets and the trunk on my car.

 

Sorry man, I can't find it.

 

I have created a new storage bin labeled "Send to Condor" in case I find it.

Sigh.... Thanks for looking Mike.. Did you find anything interesting? I do every time I go on safari....

[warthogcrewchief]

I'm thinking that those who have the chrome piece only have the right side... Perhaps Yamaha only made right sides to screw with us??

Number 12 in chrome for the left side would easily find a home on my scoot should someone have an extra

[Pappa Bear]

I am looking for the chrome fairing vents.. Love those

[Pappa Bear]

Bling!!!!!

[Yammer Dan]

I hate to throw false hopes in here but I have think a set of those. Are they all the same size. Don't seem to remember them being that long. Earl (Skydoc)And I were making plans for them and I just haven't got to it.

And I'm not going looking til it gets warmer out there.

:rotfl::rotfl: Well..... now my coworker just gave me a goofy look when I busted out loud laughing on that one.

If that isn't my hubby to a tee.......

[Snaggletooth]

Well Deb.....at least he's organized. Must be a Midwest thing.

[warthogcrewchief]

I'm thinking it wouldn't be too hard to turn the front vent intakes into chrome ones (good chrome paint!).

 

Also, I wonder how hard it would be to fabricate new chrome covers like the ones y'all are looking for??

[Condor]

Shouldn't be too hard to have the plastic intakes chromed. I think there's someone on the board that either does it or knows someone who does. I have a set on the '83... #12 on the pic....that look sorta OK, but could use a rechrome. As far the #11 edge trims go, they may be a little tougher to make. They look like they're a chromed tin stamping. Attached is a pic of all the pages.

OK Jack, don't get your hopes up, but Goldie came with only one of them, but I can't remember which one. I made my own version using plastic adhesive chrome strip stock. I'll check tonite...
