VR TO FJR1300 FINAL DRIVE SWAP!
THESE PICS SHOW HOW I MODIFIED AND INSTALLED A 2003 FJR1300 FINAL DRIVE ON TO MY 1987 VENTURE ROYALE. AFTER PUTTING ALMOST 10,000 MILES ON MY 87'VR I DESIDED THAT THIS BIKE HAD WAY TO MUCH "TOP END" I WANTED IT TO PULL BETTER THRU SPEEDS UP TO 80 MPH. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU AFTER THIS SWAP, SHE PULLS BETTER NOW! THE RED ARROW SHOWS WHERE I HAD TO ADD A .054" SHIM SO THE FJR1300 FINAL DRIVE WOULD BE PERPINDICULAR TO THE DRIVE SHAFT.- Updated

VR TO R1 BRAKE SWAP PART 2!
AFTER ADDING THE R1 BRAKE CALIPERS TO THE FRONT OF MY VR I SCORED A GREAT DEAL ON EBAY FOR A 2001 R6 RIGHT FRONT CALIPER AND A REAR BRAKE LINE FROM A 2003 YAMAHA V-MAX. I ADDED THEM BOTH TO THE REAR OF MY 87' VR. I FOUND THAT THE REAR MASTER CYLINDER WAS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE EXTRA BREAKING POWER OF THE NEW CALIPER SO I REBUILT IT. I ALSO ADDED A "SPEED BLEEDER" TO THE NEW CALIPER AND IN 3 MINUTES I HAD THAT REAR BREAKING SYSTEM BLED!- Updated
