Can it be removed???

[LordZarkon]

I'm looking at a used '06 Royal Star.... I've always been a fan of the Venture line, ever since they came out in '83. But what really DOESN'T do it for me is that fugly shroud that goes over the air intakes and blocks air across the legs. My question is: can that gawd-awful thing be removed without jacking up something else or affecting the engine intake? Like does it also support something else, etc.?

Thanks to any and all.

There are chrome air intakes available. You might still be able to find the OEM ones with a search. They aren't cheap though - $400 for a set.

If you're talking about the lowers, I've seen pics from a couple of members who have removed them. Doesn't seem to create any problems with airflow, and looks nice. You'll need to McGuiver a few things, but with a little creativity it can be done...

i believe the cruise control stuff is in there. an accessory fuse block is in the right one. not sure what else.

He did it to his 06 Venture, but he also modified the intakes and I think he rejeted to get it all just the way he wanted it

 

Hank is pretty creative, he also managed to stuff a Venture motor into a 96 style Standard Royal Star a number of years ago.
