Thanks all, great information, and I kinda figured I had some horse-trading to do at the next swap meets in order to find stuff. Same with the old Wing, but thats the price we pay to ride the older iron. It also makes it fun, and I can park my $1000 "investment" next to a group of 20k Harleys, and have those guys asking me questions...lol. The link to the owners manual is gold, thanks a million Jeff. The wiring I think I'm going to leave that be for now, as I still have an alternate aftermarket setup on the helmets already. I wonder if the wife will ever figure out I took the batteries out...?

I recently purchased a 1986 Yamaha Venture, and am looking for a couple of things that it lacks from my previous Wing. Driver floorboards for one (with the heel / toe shifter) and a set of arm rests (folding if available) for the wife's seat. I've seen pics of bikes that have the boards, but am unable to locate any information on them. Granted, 25 years is too long for folks like Markland to keep stuff on their shelves, but if anyone has ANY information on MFG.'s or where to look, I'd appreciate it. A couple of other things I want to ask but hesitate since they will make me look REAL stupid. the cover on the left side of the fairing, over the radio, is that supposed to slide? Also, the previous owner has a baggie full of "intercom" equipment that is to be placed in our helmets. He never used them, and has no clue on how they work. Owners manual is also wrecked (ALL the pages are stuck together!) and I'm having no luck finding one on the web either. Any help will be appreciated! Tom Plaska
