Zzyzx Posted January 31, 2018 #2 Posted January 31, 2018 Check with Mike Eykamp "The Diamond Cut Guy" (Eusa1) might have one.

Pictures? I ask because if they are only cracked, it's an easy fix....
Nwrksfnst Posted January 31, 2018 Author #4 Posted January 31, 2018 Crack is an understatement there broken beyond repair, I took them to 3body shops and they all said replace not fixable due to parts missing..
Nwrksfnst Posted January 31, 2018 Author #5 Posted January 31, 2018 Thinking of replacing them with some Harley lower fairing just not sure if I would have to change the crash bars or not.. in order to mount them

Thinking of replacing them with some Harley lower fairing just not sure if I would have to change the crash bars or not.. in order to mount them Ah ok. That's different. If you go with the HD Ultra Classic lowers (don't know if they will fit), but the weak point for them is the vent that opens and closes. The plastic ring that the vent turns on breaks off.... Suggestion: Check EBay for lowers...get any color and repaint. Just as long as they are intact with only minor cracking....
bongobobny Posted January 31, 2018 #8 Posted January 31, 2018 Try eBay!!! To my knowledge, they are still available but new is big bucks! Here's an example, I need a good black one for mine... https://www.partzilla.com/product/yamaha/2C9-2835K-00-P0 I just checked eBay, none for sale today but you may want to try Pinwall, they have stripped down lots of Ventures. Yes, try Mike Eyecamp, EUSA1 on the site...

slowrollwv Posted January 31, 2018 #10 Posted January 31, 2018 If you can't find the lowers you can remove them all and not worry about them. A friend did just that on his Venture and it looks good.
