hi , how do I go about ordering some decals etc., need to be shipped to Israel where I have the only 1st gen venture in the country!

hi there, I have been riding for 57 years and have had 53 different types of bikes. I live in Israel and import bikes that are 30 years and older bikes as that is what the law here allows. (collector bikes) and there is 118% tax to boot. After reading your site I decides to sell my 80' gli gold wing and up grade to a venture..... After much research I found an 83' venture from a guy in Michigan who claimed that his bike was in excellent condition , paid him $300 over nada .. after about 1.5 months at a cost of$7946 it arrived...... When I got to see the bike after clearing from port it looked great from far BUT as I got closer I saw that the rear tire had maybe10% left, the fairing was cracked, the battery needed replacing & no oil in the front forks, doesn't idle and even tho' there was pressure on the brake pedal and lever no brakes! Compressor does not work nd the bike runs on 3 cylinders mostly I need advice on how to solve the 3 cylinder problem. I had a BMW K100 with the same problem-solved by replacing coils. I read in the forum about TCI problems - does this apply to 83' models? Is it recommended to disconnect the brake proportional valve in order to improve braking? Any advice will be welcome. Brian ok ..........that's enough CRYING for now after all I have imported for friends 21 bikes and this is the first one that I have been caught:(
