Chaharly Posted December 31, 2011 #1 Posted December 31, 2011 I sold my 85 Venture Royale with the two tone brown paint about 2 years ago, and basically completely quit using the site. Well im back in the Venture saddle again Im purchasing 2 identical 2 tone gold 83 Royales. I purchased both with a total price of $1000!!! One has 65,000 miles and the other has 28,000. The one with 28k doesnt drive because the carburator is plugged, and I intend to ride the one with 65K home. I believe i came across a great deal. The one with more miles needs a speedometer cable and 2nd gear is out of it, which i intend to repair. It also has a bad rear master cylinder. It has the Radio deck and CB with the electronic air shocks, but the back one you have to pump up with a compressor. The one with less miles needs a few pieces to put back together, a carb rebuild (which i intend to do). I will also replace the 2nd gear clip in this transmission too, before it can go bad. It also needs a rear master cylinder and a rear tire. Neither of these bikes has cruise, which I intend to fix. But i plan on putting the better of the two parts onto one bike with less miles and have 1 really nice venture, and the other a "bad weather venture" or sell it for more than what i bought both bikes for. I have a few pictures of the bikes, if anyone wants to see.

elmicko Posted December 31, 2011 #9 Posted December 31, 2011 They both look like they're in pretty good shape to me. Congratulations!
Pegasus1300 Posted December 31, 2011 #10 Posted December 31, 2011 Blond is beautiful,I have an 87 Blondie in the garage.Are the cruises not working or they are not there? If I remember correctly the TuTone Golds in 83 were Royales and should have the cruise as standard as well as the radios,tho CB was an option. Welcome back to the family and good luck with those 2 babes.
bongobobny Posted December 31, 2011 #12 Posted December 31, 2011 Welcome back Chaharly!! Yup, you done good fer sure! The only thing to watch with the '83s is a known frame issue where the rear shock mounts. If the rear all of a sudden feels mushy that's probably where the problem lies. Also, your TCI can only be changed with another from an '83. Happy riding!

Welcome back to the family and good luck with those 2 babes. They are the royales, but i guess the 83s werent made with the cruise, hopefully theres a spot in the original wiring harness so i can install it
dingy Posted December 31, 2011 #14 Posted December 31, 2011 They are the royales, but i guess the 83s werent made with the cruise, hopefully theres a spot in the original wiring harness so i can install it There is no provision in the 83 harness for any of the extra cruise circuits. Gary
