Jay not sure if you found one yet but I just came across this listing on e-bay :https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-Yamaha-Royal-Star-Venture-XVZ-1300-XVZ13TF-Clarion-radio-CB-box-JC-215R/154226818597?hash=item23e8a27e25:g:ISMAAOSwwz1fykTR . Ron

I was swapping out motors when I found the high output stator was burned. The motor that I was installing in the bike had a stator that looked new when I pulled the cover so I just stuck with it. Ron

I tried the high output stator several years ago and will never use it again. I pull the cover off after only about 12,000 miles on it and it was already burnt half way up the stator from the heat. I got a shindengen rectifier from http://roadstercycle.com/ and matched it with a stock stator, been running this set-up for about 45,000 miles with no issues. I have an volt meter installed and with this set-up I run with 14.2 volts consistently. I ordered the The Super Mosfet Kit FH020AA this kit only uses the three stator wires coming to the rectifier and includes a harness that goes directly to the battery, make sure if you order it you get a good measurement of the length needed to reach your battery once you route the wires. To answer your question about whether they are the same units or not, they are not. The ones for $22.99 is a cheap knockoff unit. Ron

My brother in law bought a trunk off of Ebay to put on his nomad, when it arrived there was no key for it. He contacted the seller and was told that he didn't have a key for it. I had a couple of key blanks for a venture so I took a tumbler out of one of the helmet locks and inserted the blank into it and measured, marked, filed and continued until no lock tabs protruded from the tumbler. I then took that blank to a hardware store and had them cut both sides of the second blank from the one that I had filed, the key works great. It takes time and is tedious but you only need to file one side of the blank then have a new one cut with both sides matching your filed key. Took me about 45 minutes or so to file it. Hope this helps. Good luck. Ron

If you change your own tires shinko 777HD is the way to go. I previously used commander II tires and liked them. This year after reading post on here about the shinko 777HD I decided to give them a try since I change my own tires. They have the best grip of any tire that I have tried on my bike. I just changed out my rear tire after 8,000 miles, and the front should last through two rears. I was getting between 15,000 and 16,000 miles on the commander II's, so it really all comes down to what you are looking for. Ron

Glad it appears to be healing and back to normal. Ron

I installed a shindegon rectifier from ROADSTERCYCLE.COM, it doesn't cause unnecessary heat like the original shunt style rectifier's do. My bike charges more consistant than ever 14.2 volts. Ron

I Know this is a old thread just figured that I would post here instead of starting a new thread. My 99 venture fuel gauge blinks right after fill-up and continues for about 40 miles, after that it works normal until I refill it. I checked the manual and the blinks show a bad sending unit. I tested the wires, replaced the sending unit and even tried another dash assembly and still have the same result. Wondering if anyone had this issue and if so what were the fixes. Thanks, Ron

Looks like Tina and I will have to wait another year to attend this rally. Both our jobs are now requiring 14 day quarantine for anyone visiting north Carolina. Hope all that attend has a great time. Ron

Tina and I made it home around 2:00. Had a great time as usual. Missed all of those that couldn't make it. Hopefully things will be back to normal next year so we can all get together. Ron

We are heading out around 1:00, hope to be there between 8 and 9 tonight. Ron

You have to purchase a DRD or speedo healer to adjust the sensor reading. Ron

Vacation planned and room booked, hope it's still on. Ron

I installed these https://www.denniskirk.com/khrome-werks/chrome-10-in-bagger-bobber-ape-hangers-1-in-handlebars-300200.p5900142.prd/5900142.sku along with 1 1/2" risers. The bike is much more comfortable now.

I have about 25,000 miles on the on that you repaired for me. I had a hagon shock on after mine went and before you started to repair these shocks, but i like the way the bike rides and handles beter with your repaired shock than the hagon. Thanks again ron

All four cylinders should heat up about the same. After about thirty seconds or so you shouldn't be able to touch the pipe coming out of the heads on any of the cylinders. I think that your pilot circuits are still plugged up. Also the settings on the pilot screws are not usually the same. I had mine adjusted with an exhaust analyzer and they were all different, the front two screws seems to need to be out further than the rear ones. Sometimes the pilot circuits are tough to get cleaned. If you are cleaning them with spray cleaner you have to remove the pilot jet and pilot screws, spray cleaner through it followed by air and repeat until you get a steady stream of spray flowing through. Ron

Prayers for your family and your brother. Ron

I installed these, Khrome Werks Chrome 10 in. Bagger Bobber Ape Hangers 1 in. Handlebars - 300200 on my 1999 Venture. I also had to install the 1 1/2" riser with them as they are wider at the bottom than the stock bars. I replaced my throttle cables with used Royal Star Tour Deluxe cables off of e-bay. This allows a lot of adjustability to suit different riders. I am 5'11'' and the change made a great improvement for me, there is still plenty of room to roll the bars even further forward if need be. everything else will be long enough you may just have to reroute to fit. Ron

Don, Prayers for a speedy recovery and good test results. Ron

Thanks for hosting this again, Tina and I are looking forward to it. Ron

My nephew was a victim of child abuse from his mother’s boyfriend at the time. He received some injuries that he will never completely recover from. B.A.C.A. comes around at least once or twice a year since he was released from the hospital. They also escorted him home from the hospital as well as many visits to him while at the hospital. He really gets excited to see them each and every time that they show up. They have put on a few barbeques for the family as well as arranged some outings for them to attend. Can’t really say enough good things about our local B.A.C.A. Ron

Better safe than sorry, you don't want issues down the road. Ron

Tina and I look forward to this every year, looks like the weekend of the 20th might be the only one that I would be able to get off work to attend. Ron
