New To Me 86 VR

[Rocket]

Recently I bought locally, an 86 VR. The P.O. was trying to sell it to me, for about 1.5 yrs & it came with a Corbon seat w/ backrest in addition to the stock seat.

 

I finally caved in, when during a call back home, a neighbour wanted me to pick up another Venture. This bike is for an Ontario trip next year, which I am to go with him on, from the wet coast. He has been looking after my place for the last 3 yrs, while I am in Wainwright. He is making this a "Bucket List" trip & don't want to do it, on an air cooled bike.

 

So the work on it begins.

$3500. with the Corbon. I have the piece that came off the upper left & will use the plastex on it, while the fairing is off to get at the flex lines. As I don't have a lot of plastic work or re-paint to do, I gave him his minimum. He was the 2nd owner of the scoot & it was always shop serviced, while he had it. He wanted someone, that knows these bikes to have it & he is now bike shopping.

 

The owner he got it from, put in a K&N filter, rivco spin on adapter, that I found so far.
