Pictures? I ask because if they are only cracked, it's an easy fix.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nwrksfnst Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share #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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nwrksfnst Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted January 31, 2018 Share #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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowrollwv Posted January 31, 2018 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
