FromJust for the hell of it. See what the shipping cost would be. From Ohio to missouri. Lmao

I'm always looking for the left turn in front of me. I don't ride in the blind spots if I can help it. I try to ride invisible. Cause I know they are not looking for me. This Guy was at a stop in the left turn lane. I slowed down watching him just sitting there. I got to the intersection and gassed to go through it. That's when he pulled out in front of me and stopped. Only going 25/30 mph. Hit Head on. 4th and main downtown Joplin.

That would be to kool. Need to see if @luvmy40 still has that 83 . We were talking about before the snow hit Us all. Just getting it from Ohio to missouri is problem.

Quick picture at the impound . Still started first time. Forks bent , plastic busted up. Impound guys are bikers too. Parked it in the garage till I get back to get it.. ty @cowpuc

Sad news on 3/19/2021 the blond beauty has been wrecked. Left turn got me in a intersection in downtown Joplin, missouri. Head on with a full size truck. I slow down watching him . He was sitting still till I got to intersection then he pulled out in front of me. Me and Nana are still sore from the crash. Front tire almost touching radiator. Will post the picture of it . ASAP THANK YOU GUYS for the help with her she was a beautiful bike. Oh yeah was getting 33.7 MPG that day. Lmao @saddlebum @cowpuc @Pasta Burner @Squidley

Thank you. @saddlebum I was looking at that. Thinking it was binding there. That will save a headache later on. Started a new store last night in Springfield MO. A 100 miles away. In the rain. Put the windshield from the 83 on it. Cut it down an inch and half to two inches. Was nice being able to see over the top. Again in the rain looking for a motel to take a nap. All are full. Got one in a small town. Mileage up to 33mph in the rain. Cruise control still not setting the speed. Going to clean up switches on the grip. Limited on time, tools and a place to do it.

39k original miles , The PO just rode it around town or to work and back. Just didn't go anywhere on it. It's was to big and heavy for him. Wanted something smaller. As for windshield I put the windshield from the 83 VR.on on it. I already cut it down so I can look over the top of it. Did it last night. To windy today. 55 - 60mph gust . I got everything working except the cruise control. All the lights the working on it. Been looking it over. The clutch switch is a little loose. It did jump once while in gear . Been going by the rules of KISS. and it's been simple stuff to fix. Soldered the class controls. Changed some fuses and lights. Changed the windshield. Seafoam in 3 tanks of gas. Getting 29mph into the wind. I did turn The ldle down. For now. @cowpuc

The motor on my 83. Blew after a 600 mile drive home. Started to get hot getting off the highway. Rode it home about 10mile. We we're tied and it was raining. My fault. Got a 87VR on Friday. May not help but someone posted a 83 motor same day for 250. FB marketplace in springfield missouri

Happy birthday to you Bother. Thank you for the sight and all your help with my bikes.

@luvmy40I want thank for opportunities to get the bike you have up north where it's been snowed in since I first talked about getting it. Bought a 87VR . Wife seen it 13mins. After it was posted. Got it Friday morning after we got off work. He was only 15 miles away from me and no snow. Lol. Had to get it. You wouldn't believe how hard we tried to get up there to get it. Thank you again VID_20210306_105725.mp4

Got to do the windshield. It's like looking through a 1000 spider 🕸️ web when the lights hits it. Can't see anything . To short to see over the top. 5'8 I was able to get my old one from the 83 . Can I use it. I already cut 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 off the top . Still to short. Would sit on a boostersit to see over top. Will be buffing one out this week. The 87 windshield is spiraled bad. Does it have a coating on it.

.Question about gas mileage? Getting 26.3 a gallon. Ran seafoam in two tanks of gas. Did let it idle alot to charge the battery. When I was messing with the lights and class stuff. (Radio playing). When riding after it warm up. I was getting a higher idle about 2500 rpm. While at a stop light. Normal idle has been 0900 rpm. Runs and rides good on the highway. Couldn't get the cruise control to work. My old cruise control was a thumb clamp on the grip. I got to read the manual to see what I am doing wrong. Lights up unable to set speed.

Update fixed everything soldered the controls they have a bad solder on the back it look bad .,*+. All the lights working no idiot lights on all the fluids are full . No leaks.Time to go for another ride. And thank you guys for all your help couldn't have done it without you.

I got power going to the computer now. I had to solder the dash computer on my 83 . No dim light. Changed the bulb and was about to start chasing wire. Then my friends on here squared me away. I don't do anything I'm not 100% sure of till I post it. I wait till One the guru tells me what to do. Going to test it with jump wire first. Waiting on a Buddy to get home. He solder better than me.

Okay dash lights working now. So suspension class control I need solder it. And cruise control couldn't see it to set it. Buddy's not home to get his soldering iron. Is there a link for the repair.

Update fixed the tail light. It was the connection in the fuse box. CB works now. To bright to see the dash lights. Are they on the same circuit as the tail light? Now I got figure out the suspension.

I had to solder on last bike cause of head light problems. There's a motor on FB market place in springfield missouri. For $250. Been looking for one 3mo. Now one pops up. And I am broke.

Yeah I think I may need to solder it. Got power going to it . Now I have to do the dashboard lights

VID_20210306_105725.mp4 VID_20210306_105725.mp4 Here is a walk around video.

I sure will. It's a good looking bike.

Bought it yesterday 3/6/21. Rode it home in the freezing rain 🌧️. PO didn't much about bikes. Just rode it around town. What I know so far is. It runs and rides good. In the freezing rain 🌧️. Lol No tail lights . Changed bulbs. Put a flashlight in it. To get it home. Got brake lights work. No dash lights. Computer, everything else works . Suspension adjustment not coming on . Or CB. No power to that side. Getting a test light now. 39k miles garage keeper by both PO.

I have always done this with every bike I have ever had. I love the older bikes. Especially the 80's. Got a 87vr yesterday. Bought the 83 3/10/2020 . Just basic stuff to fix it. No 2 gear. Put 4k miles and wore out the back tire. Till I blew the motor. My bad. Paid $360. Was told to buy it from @cowpucback then. Fixed it with y'all's help @saddlebum @larrydr @cowpuc. And everyone else on here . Thank you all for the help. Got a new one work on. Going to start a post on it now. Have not really looked it over. Just rode it home. In the cold freezing rain 🌧️. With no gear. That's how bad I wanted other Venture.
