Unfortunately my lens has cracks and missing a piece, that why I hoping to find an aftermarket pc which was at a good price. The original is still available but the cost is more than I'm willing to pay. Thanks for the info as I still hope to find a good one and it would be cool to light it.

I got a reply from the supplier on the trunk kit and they have disscontinued this item, I guess you were right about the last one. That's the way the ball bouces sometimes. Thanks for the help!!

I have measured things up and I think this aftermarket unit will fit my '85. I tried to order it (since it has been indicated that it's the last one), but had trouble as there was no place to enter my Canadian address. I have e-mailed them and hope to find out more on Monday. I will post my results.

Thanks for the info! My brother has a '86 so I can see what/if there is a difference. I'll post my findings.

Can anyone tell me if there is an aftermarket replacement lens/reflector for the rear of the travel bag on the '85 Royal. I thought I saw one somewhere on the net but can't seem to find it now. I seem to recall it may have had some LED's in it as well. Any help would be appreciated!

On my 85 VR I can't turn this valve without using a pair of pliers. My brothers 88 has the same problem. Even the one we looked at at a local bike shop had this problem. Is this common? Can it be repaired? Dave

I think I will go and try some of this MMO. It seem to have worked for others and it's an easy thing to try. I did rebuild all the carbs and yes all the pilots were blocked. Even went over the #1 carb a second time to make sure it was okay and it is. I am hopeful with some treatment oil and some milage this thing will clear up. It's great if riding results in fixing!

After owning my '85 for about two years, I finally have it on the road (put on about 3000k) and it seems to run fine, but I don't have anything to compare the performance to as this is my first bike. Power wize I don't seem to have a problem overtaking a friend's '04 V star 1100. I do seem to have a weak #1 cyclinder because if I take off the spark plug wire at idle, there is no RPM change. I know it fires because if that is the only plug wire attached the cyclinder does fire. I did a compression test and it came in at just 130 (after 10 cranks) and up to 150 with some oil. The others seem to be at 150 -160 after only a few cranks. I checked valve clearance and they are right on. I'm thinking the rings are the problem. I read somewhere on this forum about using Sea Foam in the oil for sticky rings. Does this work? I think the bike sat for a number of years so it could be the problem. Is there any suggestions to trying this before I pull it apart?

This spring stuff sounds great! Can any of you tell me the best place to buy the springs and/or part numbers?
