Here we go!

1983 Venture Bobber build in progress. Have the diagrams for the wiring but I need schooled a little bit in what to cut and what not to cut. Even just as a reassurance before I end up in a electrical nightmare would be super. thanks for your consideration, DB

More pics soon to come!

Haha. Ok I'll let you know!! I have A LOT of parts for sale. Keeping hard cases, and side fairings. But everything else is for sale!

More progress... I stripped the bottom bolt head on the right fork so I will be needing a new one. Debating on keeping chrome rotor covers... thoughts? Powdercoating lower tubes this week. Any ideas where or how to stuff electrical?

Thanks Puc. I like your your idea of throwing all the electricals in a can. Any further ideas on that?

Finally

so it begins!

Hey guys and gals, Any Venture riders near me? Or is there a member map I can check out?? -DB

Praying to God our Father!

Awesome job!!! Electrically speaking, what do you have hooked up?

I've lived on that page for the past two weeks lol

Cool nice. Any sugestions on gas tanks?

thanks Puc! Any my suggestions on simple speedos?

Hey guys and gals. Has anyone bobbed a venture and had good success with it? How'd they drop the back with the tank and shaft? Venture handlebars are weird too! Any way to modify them?

Thanks! Very happy with the results.

Powercoat is a type of coating that that is applied in powder form then cooked to achieve a strong, durable, smooth finish. Sight glasses- 17.5mm diameter x 2.5mm thick. Best is from a watchmaker who will give you glass.. hope that helps! Anyone near me want their master cylinders, lower forks, brake calipers, or any other odd or end powdercoated I have a wide range of colors avaiable if you're interested!

(sorry one picture is upside down!!) Ok, so my bike is under construction right now. I have finished the plastic repairs, and I will be priming for paint shortly. My trim pieces and vents are painted. All my chrome is polished. Still working on getting my one side case open. Today was re-finishing my master cylinders.. They're not ready to install yet on the bike because I am waiting on sight glasses, and the one company sent me a clutch master rebuild instead of a brake master, so I have to get that squared away after the new year. next steps will be: - priming for paint -painting (black cherry pearl) -refinishing/rebuilding forks. -rebuilding slave cylinder -frame/engine recondition/tune up -installing new tires and battery - putting it all back together!!! Maybe I'll throw a Bike Party and get some help for the last couple of things for time's sake. -Alex

does anyone have sight glasses for these? if not, ok i know where to get them.

all finished!!

1st Gen. Master cylinder

Still have them available?

Is there a way to remove the locks with the case closed? I cannot get it open!

thanks! do you happen to have a link to replacement o-ring? Is there a way to do preventative maintenance for 2nd gear? I think 1980's just had second gear issues, no matter MAKE or MODEL haha

great! I will try that tonight.
