asigetic Posted February 13, 2012 #1 Posted February 13, 2012 Does any body know if a 1986 Venture Royale Passenger Foot Rests would fit a 1984 venture Royale without any modifications and are they just bolt on. Thanks in advance and does anybody have a set for sale in nice shape.
mmaleney Posted February 13, 2012 #2 Posted February 13, 2012 I have three sets for the 83 85 I beleve I have two sets for the 86 on, not sure if the 86 will fit the 83 86 venture. Just so you know the 83 set's look nothing like the 86 on, I can sent you a photo of what I have if you like. Mike
bongobobny Posted February 13, 2012 #3 Posted February 13, 2012 They are pretty much plug and play EXCEPT you have to fabricate a set of hangers for the exhaust, and buy longer bolts, and use some of the parts from the passenger footpeg setup. What you need to use are those big flat washers and the larger bolts that have a point on them. A long time ago I did an article on the conversion with pictures but I think it got lost in the shuffle. It may have been before the great crash of '07 or whatever year it was... If you find a set, and one of the best places to look is on Fleabay, and need further info I will be glad to help you out.

Mike I bought a set from an 86 cuz I was told I could make them work, and that's fine since I can fabricate well enough. I would like to see the difference between the two and thx for the pics if ya find them I would like some direction/tips on what all I need to do to make the MKII's passenger footrests work if somebody has worled this out already...TY:fingers-crossed-emo
mmaleney Posted February 14, 2012 #5 Posted February 14, 2012 Give me a day or so i shouls be able to get a picture of what the 83 set look like, you can find a picture of the 86 set on ebay they are very common.
iwhoss270 Posted February 14, 2012 #6 Posted February 14, 2012 No rush but I'll check this thread for your pics, I have a set from an '86 (I believe) I gat from Ebay last month... just want to see the difference so I have some Idea on the mods I will need to make... THX mmaleney
bongobobny Posted February 14, 2012 #7 Posted February 14, 2012 It's actually a very easy mod. The hardest part is fabricating a set of hangers for the exhaust. I used 1" wide aluminum stock on mine. If I get a chance later on this week or next week I'll take some pictures for you...
dingy Posted February 15, 2012 #8 Posted February 15, 2012 Here are a few pictures and a drawing of the muffler hanger needed. These are MKII brackets on an 83 frame & mufflers. (I think, know its an 83 frame) Gary
iwhoss270 Posted February 15, 2012 #9 Posted February 15, 2012 are the greatest dingy, bongobob, all Y'all are so helpful. so I was already going to have to fab some brackets/ exhaust hangers cuz I found some slash cut cobra exhaust that sound amazing.. so if I understand I just bolt the 86 foot rests on like stock and then work out my exhaust hangers. sweet that helps a lot guys, THX again HOSS
bongobobny Posted February 15, 2012 #10 Posted February 15, 2012 They do bolt up but you need longer bolts, and the one in the center needs a washer. I used the bolt that was holding the sxhaust and the big washer in front of the rubber insert on the stock pegs...
iwhoss270 Posted February 18, 2012 #11 Posted February 18, 2012 thx Bob, that clears up the hardware issue too. HOSS
