Condor Posted July 20, 2015 #26 Posted July 20, 2015 Stable? Oh come on..... So it wasn't spelled correctly.

It may have been clear in your mind but I didn't know or understand what you were getting at. It was not a comment on spelling by any means. I haven't seen or read any threads on horns. Didn't really appreciate the "tone" of that either..... Edited July 21, 2015 by Great White

cimmer Posted July 21, 2015 #31 Posted July 21, 2015 The item circled in red on the orginal post, is where the helmet lock goes on a 1990 and newer Venture as they moved it from the rear of the bike to the front of the bars. Most likely the bars came off of a 90 or newer bike. If you check the travel trunk rack on the back of the bike, you should find the two helmet locks. Hope that helps. Rick F.
KISA Posted July 21, 2015 #32 Posted July 21, 2015 At me the signal costs under the top trunk. Instead of the compressor. The wife is frightened))))

syscrusher Posted July 21, 2015 #34 Posted July 21, 2015 On my 92 they`re for Helmet locks, This was my thinking, for my '93, but I meant to look to be sure.

The bike was an 86, but it is possible the bars are not as it was a bit of a junkyard dog. Top box and rack was gone by the time I got to it. The 85 top rack I have for it does have helmet locks on it, but I have a couple spares also. Might put the spares on there just so it looks right. Googled a couple 90-92 pics and some of them do indeed show helmet locks on the lower bars. Not all, but some. 92 with locks: http://www.2040-motos.com/_content/cars/images/40/3240/001.jpg 92 without: http://www.bluedogbrewing.com.au/images/cp7.JPG Very odd that some did and some didn't.

MasterGuns Posted July 21, 2015 #36 Posted July 21, 2015 Depends on which Yamaha plant in Japan the bike was manufactured at; either the plant at Kawashima Jo or Yamaguishi Jo.
Karaboo Posted July 21, 2015 #37 Posted July 21, 2015 My 1990 has the helmet locks below the trunk. It does not have the bracket on the bars. I don't think I would hang a helmet above a hot muffler if they were on the bars.
MasterGuns Posted July 21, 2015 #38 Posted July 21, 2015 The 1990 I just junked had fold down small floor boards (not pegs) mounted in this location. The boards were flat, approx 3" X 4", and had "YAMAHA" stamped into them.

The boards were flat, approx 3" X 4", and had "YAMAHA" stamped into them. If you still have them, you could probably sell them to someone her eon the board I would think. Sounds like hard to come by items.
Prairiehammer Posted July 27, 2015 #40 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Regarding the original inquiry about the tabs on the front of the saddlebag guards: Yes those tabs are where the helmet locks were mounted on SOME 1991-1993. My 1991 has helmet locks under the trunk, but a friend's 1991 (below) has the helmet locks on the saddlebag guards. As for the aftermarket passenger foot risers that are mounted to the front of the saddlebag guards; those were manufactured by Kriss and were called "Starsteps". Kriss made them for Ventures and for Gold Wings. Yamaha offered them as an official Yamaha VentureLine accessory (ABA-1NLCD-20-00). The VentureLine version of the Kriss Starsteps has the Venture Vivaldi "V" engraved into the bottom of the foot riser. The non-VentureLine Kriss Starsteps have a "shooting star" logo cast into the step bottom. I have a set of VentureLine Starsteps, shown here on my 1990. I have since transferred them to the 1991. Debbie finds those Starsteps quite useful, allowing for different foot positions. Edited July 27, 2015 by Prairiehammer
Great White Posted July 27, 2015 Author #41 Posted July 27, 2015 Woowee! Thats somw serious bar "grindage" in pic #2..
dna9656 Posted July 29, 2015 #42 Posted July 29, 2015 They are for mounting the factory (?) back rest in place. I have seen helmet locks at this location too.
Chaharly Posted August 10, 2015 #43 Posted August 10, 2015 Here's one with "something" in that spot: http://www.powersportsinventory.com/photo/15532_1989-yamaha-venture-royale.jpg Can't tell what it is though.... Looks like a passenger heel guard
Prairiehammer Posted August 10, 2015 #44 Posted August 10, 2015 Looks like a passenger heel guard See my post above (post #40). They are aftermarket passenger foot risers.
Chaharly Posted August 10, 2015 #45 Posted August 10, 2015 See my post above (post #40). They are aftermarket passenger foot risers. Saw that after I posted. I really oughta learn to read these posts all the way through:Bunny: That's a cool idea for giving your kids or a vertically challenged passenger. When I was young dad always made risers so we could ride on the back of the Goldwing legally
