Need R Mirror '83

[Kiwiroyale]

G'day,

 

I had something fall on the R mirror breaking it at the fixing.

 

Were these mirrors specific to this machine? I can't find anything similar here in NZ, help please.

Yes, the Venture mirrors are unique to the Venture, however, each master cylinder has a threaded hole (under a plastic plug) for standard Yamaha mirror stalks. The right hand threaded hole is left hand threaded (typical of most Yamaha mirrors.

Some have installed ordinary stalk type mirrors on the master cylinders. Others have adapted other mirrors to the aluminum mounting base of the stock mirrors.

There are some Venture mirrors on eBay. One of the cheapest, is a set of both right and left mirrors, for a starting bid of $10.99US! The seller is incorrect when he states this set is for 1986-1993 Ventures, for all First Gen Venture, 1983-1993 are identical.
