Dale124 Posted March 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2013 I am now in possession of my brand spanking new, 2013 Yamaha Royal Star Venture! YAY! I put a deposit on it about 6 weeks ago, then brought them a cheque for the balance 2 weeks ago, and this fine Friday morning, they brought me the bike. She looks great sitting in my garage. It will be a while til it is on the road, as we still have lots of snow here in Edmonton, but taking possession is a step in the right direction. I can't wait to take her out Dale. P.S. Does anyone know if there is license plate mounting hardware with a new bike? I picked up a plate this afternoon, but don't see any mounting hardware.

XV1100SE Posted March 1, 2013 Share #4 Posted March 1, 2013 usually the dealer will give you a cheap plastic plate holder. Definitely better options out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted March 2, 2013 Share #7 Posted March 2, 2013 Sneak a peek at the MP3 player in the saddle bag and let us know who makes it and if its got a par number besides yamaha if you can see it. Congrats, but this would be really hard man. To know its sitting there and you cant go out and play. thats got to be as bad as being sick on the weekend when you were a kid.

Dale124 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted March 2, 2013 I don't see where I can upload a picture to show you all. I looked for the "pictures and albums" link in my user c.p., but it is not there. Perhaps as a "trial member", we are unable to add photos.

Hopefully Yamaha will be sending the ipod and the I-simple solutions interface connector. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it!! Hey, Vasquelli,how long did it take for you to get your iPod and connector? Also, did you get 2 tiny little Allen nuts with a tiny Allen wrench in with your manual? I'm not sure what they are for. The dealer did not know either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
