I've got one on a 84 XVZ12 that I'm parting out I believe it is the same part if your interested make me an offer. I haven't listed that part on ebay yet.

I started parting oiut the 84 Yamaha Venture Royal XVZ12 I bought in Pa I have already listed some of the outer layer parts but anyone interested can have first shot at anything on the bike you can use before I list them on Ebay. Send me a list of what your interested in and I send pictures of what I have. Revised 7/11/08 Since my original post yesterday I got numerouse replies by way of thread post and PM. Most of the parts requested I have and are very useable. But, for a number of reasons responding to all the request got complicated quickly. One thing is I can't figure out how to attach photos to PM responses . So on the bottom of this post are pictures showing the current status of the disassemble process and picture of the parts That have not already been listed on Ebay. Currently I have about 35 items listed on ebay that are all linked by insert tags in the listings. Many of the request have been for the same items so now comes the delima of who to offer the part to. So in all fairness to everyone lets do it like this. 1st. Tell me what your looking for. I'll tell you if I have it, post pictures on the thread response rather than Private Message and whatever else I can tell you about the condition or useability of the part. Please keep all communication regarding availability of part, pictures and condition on the thread so everyone can see the same information rather than me having to answer the same question multiple times. Then if you want the part send me an offer for the part plus shipping or postage, by way of Private message. in case of multiple request for the same item I will offer the part to the person offering the most for it. So if you want it:mo money: As much as I'd like to offer these parts to all of you as a gifts, I did buy the bike as an investment to make a few bucks and I do need to cover my expenses of going to PA to get her and hauling her back to GA. However, I will donate to Venturerider.org 10% of whatever I sell as a result of this post. As far as the overall condition of the parts Plastic Body parts; Most of the plastic is in good shape considering the age of the bike however, whoever owned the bike in the past painted over the original red/darkred color with what appears to be flat black spray paint. So whoever buys the body parts will need to repaint whatever piece they are interested in so keep that in mind. Any and all of the flaws I've noticed so far are very fixable. The two lower front fairings have been substainly damaged. It appears that the bike has been living outdoors uncovered. Some of the chrome pieces have surface rust that can be easily cleaned.Some of the metal alloy pieces have signs of oxidation that I believe can be wire brushed clean in most cases. The bike was non running when I got her and has been sitting for a while. Last inspection sticker by the State Of NH is dated 6/30/02. I don't know anything about its history other than what I can see. Bike is showing 53K miles. When I put a battery in it everything came on and lit up and the engine turned over easily. I imagine since it's been sitting the carbs and electrical connections may need some attention. I will test any parts that I can to determine if they are good or not.

Yup shure enuff is, specially that there good looking feller standing next to you. I want to know about the ride home did you do all the rides you were telling me about when you left Gassaway, I did as much of the skyline and Blue Ridge as I could. What started out being a great ride after 10 to 12 hours of twisties a day it started becoming a little grueling. Whipped puppy dog by the time I got back.

If your priceing through a Yamaha Dealer I don't doubt price at all the damage is probably minor if it was major at the cost of Yamaha OEM parts and labor who knows what the price would be. Last time Insurance company totalled my bike and paid me off I had it back on the road with $37.00 worth of parts off ebay and about $25.00 worth of materials to repair plastic parts. New paint job was a few hundred in materials, and my time. Still alot cheaper than the $4,000 Insurance paid me. I've been paid off 4 times when Insurance totaled my bike with an 87 any time it get knocked over and there is damage to plastic they total bike. I've gotten pretty good at fixing broken plastic.

I know a great place when the time comes. Copperhead Lodge Motorcycle resort in Blairsville, Ga. They have an outdoor amphitheater stage right next to the swimming pool, great restuarant, Hotel rooms, cabins or tent camping right in the middle of great riding roads in N. Georgia, E. Tenneessee and Western N Carolina

From Skid-in to Ga via PA 1500 miles & Pics
Dragonslayer replied to Dragonslayer's topic in Watering Hole
OOOPS probably should remount the camera off the front mirror to get more of me and the bike in pics. But here's a pic of the bike from Daytona -
In have no idea where we will be staying other than we will be camping most of the way and snag a room along the way where we can to shower Ect. But I would like to meet up to coordinate the rides. We are planning all the rides you mentioned and it would be nice to hook up to do that together if possible.

The Dragon tail being in my home riding range, it is a frequent destination in my rides. I've been up and down the Dragon probably about 35 times without incident of any kind. Not to say it's not a challenging road most of the wrecks are about crotch rockets trying to set speed records. Posted speed limit is 35 and Strickly enforced. The last few times I've been there every third to fifth vehicle was law enforcement. Another problem is that they allow tractor/trailer trucks, dump trucks, Winnebago's, Farm equipment on the road so that you may come around a blind twisties and up against the tail end of a 5 MPH dump truck. :bang head:I haven't riden the other road you mention but look forward to doing so on Sturgis Trip this year. Atlanta to Sturgis and Back 2008 fur sur this year.

Getting together a group of Riders (so far 4) to do an Atlanta to Sturgis run first (two) WEEKS OF AUGUST. Planning to do trip mostly camping with a few motel shower stops when necessary. Ride intended to be mostly touring with little party. Ride initiator says the more the merrier. Anyone interested.

Cracker Barrell Restuarants are responsible for starting me playing the harmonica. Once when I was doing a lot of business travel by car. I stopped in one for a meal. By the cash register they were selling c harps for $3.00 a piece. I bought one and started playing it along with the radio as I was driving. One $3.00 C harp has turned into a full set of 12 Johnsons that are being upgraded one by one to better harps. Now I don't leave home without them. If you ever see me on the bike my harps will be in the trunk and a C harp in my pocket. They are much easier to carry on the bike than say a piano, set of drums or a guitar.:whistling:

I love to play every chance I get, usually in the clubs around here the bands will invite me up to do a couple of songs or at Karoke I'll get invited to accompany singers with the harp. Recently a guy heard me that has a recording studio and called me out of the blue to ask me if I would record the harmonica tracts on a CD they were producing. Soooooooooooooooooo, I spent one afternoon in the studio doing harp, background Vocals, and some spoken word tracts. It was a lot of fun. It probably won't make me rich or famous. But, I can now ad legitimately to my resume and business card: Recording Studio Artist along with: Emperior of The Universe Diabolical Genius Master of all I survey Published Author Legendary Lover Legend in my own mind
