rehabing my 88

[robclark63]

Well I have been working on my 88 Venture Royale and am sort of at a standstill at the moment so I cleaned up the garage and thought I would post up some pics...I wish I had some before pics, but I usually don't take pics until too late, but anyway here are some...http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74469&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74470&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74471&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74472&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74473&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74474&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74475&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74476&stc=1&d=1362348631http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=74477&stc=1&d=1362348631

 

 

Well the bike is cleaning up very nice and I finally tracked down all my cowling that rests inside the fairing. I have also been doing a little fiberglass work on the fairing...I found that hanging it makes life easier when rebuilding pieces. I did my rear wheel bearings, drive shaft, and put on a new E3, new clutch slave, all fluids and was working on the bright work with a little marvel mystery...

 

I am getting ready to delink the brakes and put the R1 caliper conversion on and also am going to replace the rear caliper too...I want to set the valves and I need to replace a fork seal too.

 

I couldn't resist putting up a pic of my other toy too. I built that about 8 years ago...I got out of bikes and into VW's and now I am back into bikes..

 

Anyway, I figured on a cold Sunday you guys might want to look at some pics. Enjoy:cool10:

 

Sorry the pics are all scattered...I am not sure how to just put them into thumbnails...

Kind of the same thing as I'm doing to an 86, except that Wizard765 took all the pictures.

While you're that far into it, I'd consider replacing the thermostat cover (the plastic neck that is prone to warpage), and seals and o rings associated with that water pump plumbing area.

 

And probably reflow the soldering points for the CLASS system.

 

What year bug? As I recall, the 1971 model was the first with the louver/vent behind the rear windows.

Looks like what I am just finishing up right now.My project

 

I am just waiting to get a trailer hitch, and a good cleaning when the weather warms up a little. but otherwise I should be finishing most of it tomorrow .

Since I just did this, here are a couple of most useful posts I found made by dingy on how to make attachments work for you. Thanks Gary...

Already did the CLASS system...Thanks for the heads up on the water pump parts..

 

My bug is a 72 super...In 71 the super came out but still had the flat windshield and carried that over to 72 also...
