1st gen radio information
Condor replied to timgray's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Tim, I might?? have the guts from a radio out of Tom Patterson's old parts bike. It 'soaked' in a plastic tub full of rain water for about a year. I planed on tearing it down to salvage the face plate and buttons. It's not high on my to-do list, but if you want it when I get around to rendering it down you can have what's left.- 76 replies

Thought I'd taken one of the etching??? But apparently I didn't. But I did get one from the rear that sorta shows the eagle.

Actually it looks like it might be a pretty good deal....if it can be picked up at a store, and the store price is the same as the online price. By the time you add a cooler rack, chrome wheels and coupler, spare tire and holder, spare bearings, And... shipping... the price'll probably be right up there with a Piggy. It does look the same on the surface, but I'd like to see how the frame is put together...

Some of us take up more room than others in the saddle. We end up putting leg pressure against the cover and it will slide forward while riding. Don't ask me how I know that...

A 4xl Fieldsheer mesh is what I wear most of the time when the temps are up...like today 99 degs!!! Plenty of ventilation, and if things do get nippy the liner does it's job well...

MAC Muffler Contest

Here's a pic of a chin scoop sleeve. It's slightly bigger than the one used in the tab gromet. It ran about a buck from my local Yamaha dealer so they probably have the sleeve for the tab too. I'd get the sleeve, gromet, and screw and replace them all.

On your first pic it looks like your crush sleeve is also missing. You might want to replace it before tightening down on that screw and washer, or you're going to be doing a little ABS repair. That sleeve keeps pressure off the ABS tab, and the screw originally came with a washer.....

There's a couple of 1300 dashes on Ebay right now. Although I can't remember seeing one in KM's...

Sorry to hear about your friend. I bet the rear wheel locked up and he high-sided???

85 xvz12t class e5 error

Perhaps the Class Controller needs to be resoldered..... -
I have one set of MAC's left. I've gone thru the list of members that had indicated they were interested in an extra set, and still have this one set left. I thought I'd saved all the PM's and Emails, so if I missed you I apologize. Anyway, here's the deal. I figure the only equitable way to find a new home for the last set, and not offend anyone.... is to have a contest for all those that might be interested, So, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 50. To keep things on the up and up, only myself and Freebird know what that number is. The one coming the closest to that number gets the MAC's. The price will be $275 delivered to your door, which is still a pretty good deal as the new retail is $319+ shipping. The contest will run for a week. So for those of you that are interested, get your ESP hats on, and post your number, and good luck. BTW, only one number per member...

Now how in the 'H' can they lose a V-Max final. I picked up one listed on Ebay for a little more than that, but after talking with Squeeze it's tough to figure out if it's actually off a V-Max. Some of these Ebay sellers dealing with Venture parts like to label their things as V-Max even tho it came off a Venture. I have seen finals listed as V-Max and when I questions the seller I found it actually came off a 1stGen. '83-'93. Their excuse... 'Oh it'll fit'....and most of them don't know there's a difference. I think if I ever buy another V-Max final I want to be standing there watching them take it off the bike.... and even then it may be a Venture final that a V-Max owner has swaped out??? Go figure....

Ahah!... Bigger spring assist shocks... I would have never guessed....

I'm not familiar with that one. There's a MkII VentureLine backrest on Ebay right now. You'd probably be better off biding on it rather than trying to find something that'll fit that bracket.
