We want to keep the bike. We got it for free so investing some money is fine. Thanks for the tip about the rear brakes.

Episode 5 of our renovation video-series: https://youtu.be/BMC0wVqWmFQ We got some quotes about re-chroming the parts of the Yamaha. Prices varies between $1500 and $2500. That's a lot of money..... We're looking at some other options. Have a safe weekend! Peter

I found the drawings of the brackets, thanks guys!

Thanks for mentioning this. I have to check that. These pipes are from 2017. OEM-number says 'no Cat'.

Thanks! I read some info about the clamps.

Does anybody know if these mufflers will fit? They have a 45mm en 65mm mounting end. Partnrs. OEM 64900240 en 64900239. Peter

Just a pile of wood.......😇

Well, here's the whole story. My colleague Marco passed away at the end of May 2021 at the age of 56. He left me this motorcycle. Together with a friend we decided to fix the bike. Technically the bike is 100%, engine, gearbox, clutch and brakes are fine. There is a lot going on, especially optically, because the Yamaha has been outside under a tarp for years, near the sea. A lot of chrome has been affected and there are steel brackets where no paint can be found at all. We will have it partly re-chromed and powder coated. We want to paint the bike in twotone, probably red/black. Our goal, well sort of. Engine and engine parts will be black matt. Long way to go: Mufflers (if someone has these laying around, please contact me): No paint left at all: Used to be chrome:

Compliments are always welcome.......

Well, it started with one nut........ Full story follows next week. Have a great weekend! July 1..... August 20......

Thanks! This will work.

Must be one of the two connectors on the right.

I'm working on my 2005 Yamaha Royal Star Venture XVZ 1300 TF. Does anyone knows how much oil the back shock is holding? Peter

Hi guys. I'm Peter from the Netherlands. Got myself a 2005 Yamaha Royal Star Venture XVZ 1300 TF with 18000mls. More or less in bad condition: lot's of surface rust. Was stored outside under a tarp 2 miles from the sea for 5 years. Motor and gear are perfect. Well, we got something to do this winter.
