Chaharly Posted November 25, 2018 #1 Posted November 25, 2018 30+ dollars is simply too much, but i definitely need a road side vent. Anyone got one they'd be willing to part with? https://suncoastcyclesports.com/83-yamaha-venture-xvz1200-left-side-air-grill-vent-outlet-26h-2837v/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgpbq0-vv3gIVBZ7ACh39RwpVEAQYByABEgKJkPD_BwE
Condor Posted November 26, 2018 #2 Posted November 26, 2018 WOW!! I didn't know they were still available new. I lost my first one on the freeway about 15min after buying my first '83VR. Had to pick one up off eBay. Poor design with those keeper tabs on the sides easily breaking off and the thing getting legs. Afterwards I started gluing them in...
Venturous Randy Posted November 27, 2018 #3 Posted November 27, 2018 I found that a radar detector fit perfectly into that space and with using a remote on off power switch, it was not noticeable when coming up to a license checkpoint in VA with a Trooper standing right beside the bike. It also worked as good thru the bike plastic as I does thru a windshield. Randy
BlueSky Posted November 27, 2018 #4 Posted November 27, 2018 Those vents don't tend to hold up well. It will be hard to find some for sale that are complete and working. My 89 has two perfect ones, but I ain't selling! Ha!
bongobobny Posted November 28, 2018 #5 Posted November 28, 2018 I was looking at the picture of that new one and noticed it seems to have a busted fin... Sorry, many years ago I had a few of them but not anymore. I have seen people glue a plastic box inside there to hold sunglasses, etc. Those vents didn't do much...

saddlebum Posted December 8, 2018 #7 Posted December 8, 2018 Hey Chaharly pretty sure I have some. Not sure of the condition but will let you know for sure after I check. If I have a good one or at least a usable one its yours N/C accept maybe shipping cost unless we can find a cheaper way to get it to you.

saddlebum Posted December 21, 2018 #9 Posted December 21, 2018 Hey Chaharly I found one. Now just to get it to you. I will check with the post office to see what it will cost to send it to you. Hopefully not more than what it is worth. PM me your address and I will get things rolling. Unless you already found one that is.
saddlebum Posted December 26, 2018 #10 Posted December 26, 2018 just happen to look at the one in the link you posted. that is a used one and a closer look at the picture shows 3 lock tabs broken out. Anyway have not made it to the post office yet but it is sitting on my coffee table as a reminder that it has a destination.
saddlebum Posted December 28, 2018 #11 Posted December 28, 2018 Hey @Chaharly package sent to you. I'm told you should see it in 4-6 days.
