@HeatherFeather for the air suspension computer I ended up re-soldering all joints internal and it works great now. Also mine was obviously attempted to be fixed by a previous owner without luck and they ended up cutting the air lines and installing schrader valves. Once I spliced all that back together the computer was timing out. Took the compressor apart, cleaned and lightly oiled with pneumatic oil, same with the selenoid bank and fixed the timeout issue. looks like R6 calipers up front. I didn’t see it mentioned in the thread so just an FYI the bike has a linked braking system. (Unless of course the gen 1 didn’t do that, someone correct me if I’m wrong)

Hi all, just checking in as it’s been a while. Got a new to me toy in the spring so the VR has gotten little miles this season 😕. Honestly I was going to get rid of the girl for a dresser more favorable to my short leg dilemma, but went a different route and decided to keep her. Looked at a Beautiful Roadmaster, just couldn’t come to terms on price with the seller. Ended up making the move to add some more Italian to the garage and picked up a MG California Vintage! Gotta say I absolutely love it 😍. Season was great until about a month ago during a Moto rally camping event I tripped over a tent line and broke my ankle in a vole hole 🩼🩼. So now I’m home recovering from surgery with loads of time on my hands to accomplish those winter projects and not the mobility to execute 😭. Anyway, hope y’all are having a great season, and with any luck I’ll still get in a few fall rides. here’s a few pics of my new toy

Oil filter parts missing?
Pasta Burner replied to TTrax's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I went to the spin on filter adapter and couldn’t be happier. -
Been 45 and balmy here in Salt Lake but last week. If you notice because I have a corner lot I snow blow the street so Mr Plow doesn’t push it back into my drive apron

My entire dash is overlayed with wood paneling, not sure how well it’ll come off or what the under layer will look like. -

Yes if @Vickersguy doesn’t want it. Trying to be fair by first responses -

Sorry I got distracted and forgot about this. I think it’ll fit into a usps medium flat rate box. I think that’s around $25 -
Worked fine when I removed it a few months ago. Decided to go with an amped Bluetooth instead. Most hardware included but some got vacuumed away. Purging the garage.

So what is the purpose of the four little plugs on the front side of the trunk? They are a rectangle pattern in the trunk below the passenger backrest. I want to mount an amp there and unfortunately the holes are not the right dimension. Thinking about abs welding them and drilling holes where I need but want to know why they’re there first.

Interesting thing I wanted to ask about…my bike sometimes has struggles to start mainly because I need to do some maintenance on the choke. In the cold morning my buddy was like good luck getting her running, to everyone’s surprise half a crank and she purred like a lioness. Left it idling for like 1.5 hrs charging my phone and packing up. Shut her down to access the key and the battery didn’t have enough juice to kick back over. What would cause this? Weak stator? I did in hindsight also have the heated grips running, and playing music.
