Sorry for stupid questions

these will work right? and i can keep my tripple tree, just need to R2 the fork rods with lowers? 1987 Yamaha Venture 1300 86-93 MKII front suspension forks with triple tree

Hello all, I have a 83 royal that has most of the parts. Post what you want and ill send it to you most parts ill send for free if you pay shipping. I am looking for MKll lowers, as well as rotors to fit R6 calipers and master cylinder.

Has any one upgraded to HID headlights? is it worth it?

led screen for cams?

hello all, I have a 83 royal mostly intact. If any one needs parts. Im looking for MKll upper and lower forks.

Is there a thread that has pictures of parts for newbies? like speedo diff U-joint stuff like this? If not please start sending me pictures with names of parts. Gen 1 only for now please so I can start a thread. Email me at ttam4001@gmail.com thanks in advance -Matt-

when you make your way down here hit me up, im about a hour outside of Ruidoso

I'm in new mexico, it all depends on roughts amd time of day and magic for clear roads. But lower you go better it is.

Bought these, and progressive springs from SKYDOC. found a guy selling MKll forks, trying to get a hold of him but the sight is having problems for me with messaging. i also got a super brace. i think all thats left is MKll rotor and master cylnder for the r6 calipers right? along with SS lines.

03 04 05 YAMAHA YZF R6 06 07 08 09 06-09 R6S front brake calipers gold loaded will these work?

where is the best place to get steel braid break lines. Is this something that needs to be bought at a store or can I get generic ones off one of the websites? I found a set of MKll forks, looking into progressive springs (I should use OEM seal kit for it right?) . I also am getting a super brace. still looking for gold dot brakes, rotor and master cylinder. anything else I should look at or upgrade right away? Thank you all for your advice and expertise so far!

are the bolts different for MKll vs MKl? also do yall use locktight?

Im vary new to Ventures and motorcycles in general, is it possible to replace the carbs with EFI?

Are there any still for sale out there? how much was condor selling them for?

Is there a thread of what will fit? I don't have a whole lot of money to throw at wrong parts. Meaning major changes like the forks I posted.

here is what i found so far will these work? Yamaha 01 R6 OEM Forks For Parts Straight 03-09 YAMAHA YZFR6 YZF R6S R6 FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS MASTER CYLINDER OEM #1469

these are the faring's and guards I was referring to.

Thank you for the info, I have all these printed out and starting my research for parts. Don't worry about offending me, I'm a mechanic for the Airforce. nothing you can say will be new or offensive.

So here is my list of things to do/Buy. if you have any advice or are selling any of the big items please let me know. this is only my second bike. so I'm not sure what a lot of parts are called, or theory of operation. 1- MK2 (86-93) forks 2- side faring guards and radiator cover 3- Right 4- the black box on right handlebar (the sight glass is broken, I don't now if they sell replacement glass or if the whole diafram needs replaced) 5- I might split the engine due to a bad oil leak, so maybe R2 the thrust washer for 2nd gear. did they come out with a replacement washer? 6- left and right faring trimming 7- basic servicing fluids/filters (I know and can due air/oil) is there fuel or hydro filters? if so what oil/hydro is recommended? 8- Replacing brakes with 4 piston form Yamaha R1 or R6 9- Head light housing assy. thank you for replies in advance! Matt

Thank you, you have just sold me on buying a membership to this sight. this is the expertise I was looking for. Haven't scared me off, im really looking forward to getting this bike ready. and I will use this post as a starting point for my bike.

They look great thanks for the pics!!!

thanks, audio is important when I ride. But I have the wireless Bluetooth headphones that I connect to my phone and play Pandora. way less expensive than buying a helmet mounted audio. so rebuilding the stereo right now will take a back seat.

That's exactly what I was looking for thank you!! what kind of details are you looking for? I will be building one for my personal use, and the second will be a future project to try and turn a profit. Another question is other than ebay. where is the best sight to get parts. I found bikebandit.com but I don't know how trustworthy they are.

Hello, I'm new to this sight cause I am looking for experts in the venturing field. I recently bought a 1983 venture XVZ12TK and a venture royal XVZ12Dk. The venture is running but in bad shape with lots of broken farrings, wrong bolts everywhere. shouldn't cost me to much to get it up to touring ready. The royal is in worse shape. engine doesn't crank and is missing a lot of parts. My question is which one should I devote time and money into? Is the royal worth more refurbed, or should I just stick with the running one? thank you.
