😂 Thanks for your reply. From what I gather from the guy I got the bike from, it came factory with stereo, cb, etc. All of these features have since been removed and kind of hillbilly patched with homemade covers 😂 I'm mainly concerned with getting the air ride components and I've got to do more research on figuring out how to get it working or replaced. The front forks are a big issue as well, considered I live in a small town in central Alabama with a poor road maintenance schedule 😂 The factory stereo has since been replaced with a Kenwood stereo, and the remaining cavities on both sides are covered with plates that are screwed into the fairings. I would like to get the bike back presentable and clean

Thanks for the reply and info. I'm also still trying to figure out how to work everything on the forum so I apologize if I'm not working something right 😂.

Hey guys, I'm new to the group and recently picked up my first Venture. It's a 1993 Venture Royale 1300, and it has a few quirks that I'm looking for guidance and direction on how to remedy. The bike runs and had about 79000 miles on it, a little rougher cosmetically than I would like but I feel I got it at a decent price with all things considered. The biggest hang up for me is that it is missing most of its original accessories such as the cb radio, factory stereo and, most importantly to me, the air ride control unit. I've been browsing eBay, Craigslist, etc. trying to track some of these down but I am also finding it hard to find some info on these bikes. Do the 1st Gen components swap to the 2nd Gen, such as the accessories and plastics? I also have noticed that the front end on my bike has some pretty serious pogoing action going on and I have seen alot of members recommend the Progressive spring kit so I was wondering if it's truly a good option for the fork rebuild on my bike. Any info or direction would be greatly appreciated.
