    Bought bike for parts off Kijiji recently to get the main fairing parts to fix my 87 but when I went to pick-up (3 hours one way) better than average fairings was I ever depressed when the tarp was removed and half off left side was missing and right side broke. I still bought it for the rest to use as spare parts or maybe to trade for what I need.Salvaged a few other parts I needed and will hopefully will find the fairings at good reasonable price(E-Bay is ridiculous.

    Most might not recognize me after tomorrow night as I will be donating my pony tail to Wigs For Cancer victims. Been waiting for this for a while and it sort of short notice(only found out last Thurs at work)!Would have liked to have collected some donations also but as I said it was short notice and was not sure about parting with IT (hair) BUT it IS a GREAT cause.So wish me luck?(should be around 14" long)

    Thanks to oldguy(Will) from North Bay Ont for the free rad,rad cover and the radio mount plastic that he gave me to start fixing my damaged 87 Venture and the offer of accommodations(which we reluctantly turned down--friend felt uncomfortable accepting accommodations from someone he didn't know.). A friend and I rode up there(280miles one way) on Wed. and rode back on Thurs this week.What a nice LLLOOONNNGGG ride on a not so comfortable bike(2000 Road-star). Will start replacing these parts as soon as it cools down in garage. Still looking for rest of fairing pieces yet.Will keep looking tho and with luck might get back on road some day.

    oldguy(Will) is the one in North Bay that has the parts.He has a bike and parts he is selling but says I could have the extra pieces.So far he says he has a rad and the black dash parts for radio & C/B, he is checking to see what else but these are the 3 things for now.I'm not sure if you would be able to carry these without damage to the rad or mostly your seat. My friend from work say's he would be willing to go with me if necessary so we could have a ride.I'm not sure what to do yet.I am waiting to hear back.Thanks!!!!!!!!

    Finally got bike back from shop after replacing front and rear pulleys and drive belt on my 2000 Road Star. Boy do I miss my 87 Venture more and more!Have sunk more money and downtime into this bike in the 2 years I have owned in than the 7 years that I had the 87! Still looking to repair the87 but not too much luck in finding parts or parts bike--every time I do it is gone before I can contact about it,,then I hear that someone finds one really cheap later. I do have a line on a few parts but they are in North Bay and may have to take a ride on holidays to get them.

    Thanks guys and I wish my wife could see that it would be better to fix my 87 Venture Royale than sink all this money into a bike I just like and not into the bike I REALLY LOVE I also loved the shaft drive! Still looking for parts to fix it.

    Broke a second drive-belt on my Road star in a year &3months- a week ago Just got it back Fri. but now it needs new pulleys as they are worn and that is why the belt broke(mechanic).Got 30,000 or so on belt that broke spring of 09 and 20,000 or so on this one. Other shop says not to ride with the new belt and old pulleys and mechanic that changed it said I could?????????? Phantom wife says fix it (so no replacement bike to fix old 87\\for now)Have to wait till Tues. to see how long to get back pulley(on back order)Back pulley is $432can and front is $122 plus 3 1/2 hrs labor

    I have a 2000 Roadstar Silverado 1600 and love it(still miss riding my 87 Venture) It is an easy bike to work on and like was mentioned it is a low revving bike and does hit rev limiter too soon when having fun rides. All in all good bike --good luck!!!enjoy the ride!!

    Just checking in to see if you got my address and information I sent ?
  24. sleepy2
    Im fine with buying from you since you are one of the group and $.25 shouldn't be enough to make anyone change orders

    I agree they are GREAT horns as mine also saved my but a few times also. \unfortunately I went to use it one day last year and it sounded like a dying cow so I had to hook up old horns and you can hardly hear them over my exhaust while idling(have Vance@Hines on Roadstar) so am saving up to get another for my bike before it goes on the road again.
