smlogan Posted December 4, 2014 #1 Posted December 4, 2014 I am in the process of modifying a 09 venture. I currently own a 96 that has been severely upgraded...everything short of the vmax rear end cause I cant find one reasonable and I will never sell that bike. I have removed the lower fairing and installed barons big bar. While I like the venture I cant like the football helmets to protect your feet.. they gotta go. Trouble is there is a bunch of electrical contained there. Has anybody else done this? I know lots of people try and upgrade the tour for the bags and comfort of the venture but I cant find where people have modified the other way. I removed the AIS and the massive air box and installed 4 K&N filters so I have some real estate avail. Comments
Angelo Posted December 4, 2014 #2 Posted December 4, 2014 I rode mine with the lower fairings off and the extra air flow into the intake made it run like crap, no power and backfire at 35+ mph.

smlogan Posted December 4, 2014 Author #4 Posted December 4, 2014 I did the filters like I did on the 96 and it runs really strong. The 4 independent filters under the tank eliminate the turbulence and forced air. Its all about the junk that I don't want to lose in the fairings like the cruise and sound equipment. Pic attached of modified filters.
djh3 Posted December 4, 2014 #5 Posted December 4, 2014 Yes I am on the Delphi forums and one of the admins over there lives in Phoenix of someplace like that. Anyways he has removed the lowers and relocated all the "junk" thats hidden. He may beable to help you out. [h=2]TankerHank is his name. Try here[/h]
bongobobny Posted December 4, 2014 #6 Posted December 4, 2014 I am interested in the lower fairing outer pieces if you want to sell them...
slowrollwv Posted December 4, 2014 #7 Posted December 4, 2014 i know a guy in AZ that did the mod you are talking about. Get hold of Tankerhank on the Royal Star Venture and Tour Delux forum.
smlogan Posted December 4, 2014 Author #8 Posted December 4, 2014 Lol mostly busted up when it was originally dropped, nothing was worth saving
smlogan Posted December 4, 2014 Author #9 Posted December 4, 2014 tried to get through to tankerhawk but Delphi is at best difficult. Is there a site where he regularly posts I might contact him at
ragtop69gs Posted December 5, 2014 #10 Posted December 5, 2014 tried to get through to tankerhawk but Delphi is at best difficult. Is there a site where he regularly posts I might contact him at I talked with Tank 2 summers ago, about this mod, lots of work extending wires and tucking things in. Most of the stuff was put into the upper fairing. Somewhere in these 3 hard drives is an email he sent me detailing the process. If I can locate it I'll send you a copy.
