Do You Have a Unique "Venture Royale" Accessory?

[GolfVenture]

Ok, I just received this from ebay today. The guy bought it a few months after he bought his New 83 Venture, but never wore the buckle.

 

 

Whos got one of these?

I also have something that I think is unique but is not an accessory.

 

A couple months ago I picked up this set of carbs off of fleabay.

The seller stated that he acquired them from a vocational tech school. Yamaha donated a Venture for them to work on. I belive the bike must have been a test mule.

 

On the first photo you can see a top brace that connects the left and right banks.

Note also that they used only a single pull system with no return cable.

Slides are metal. Different routing to deliver gas to all carbs.

 

2nd photo note the heavy duty rod that connects left bank to right bank. It has a screw and lock nut on the fat end. Elimiates any confusion when sinking carbs, you don't have two screws side by side.

 

3rd pic notice coasting enricheners have been deleted.

Much different brace connecting left bank to right bank.

Also notice the drain ports are dramatically larger than the plastic port we have now. Much easier to get rid any size piece of crap in your carb.

 

4th pic better view of coasting enrichener delete and larger drain port.

 

5th pic close up of screw and lock nut. Also note vacuum port like all 83's had.

 

I forgot to take a picture of slide covers which pilot circuit screw is just below.

On our production bikes you will see a steel ball that is next to the pilot screw.

It seals the bleed pipe circuit. On these carbs there is a screw next to the pilot screw, remove it

and I believe that would be the bleed pipe circuit that you can adjust.

 

I'm debating on putting them into service or keep them as a momento. Then I can

look at them and remember when. After I get too old to ride.

 

Sorry for being long winded.

 

 

 

 

Well, finally figured out the pictures, they are out of sequence to my comments, but you can figure it out.
