If you are looking for OEM mufflers, there are always a few for sale on eBay.

If you are looking for aftermarket mufflers, two manufacturers (maybe more) made mufflers for the Venture back in the day. MAC and Jardine were probably the most ubiquitous, but are not commonly found today. Again, check eBay.

 

Here are some new MAC mufflers on eBay, right now:

And another set here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-Yamaha-Venture-Royal-Turn-Down-Slip-On-Mufflers-Chrome-Exhaust-004-4315-/291034447720?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AVenture+Royale&hash=item43c3013f68&vxp=mtr

 

And here is a used set of OEM from a 1993 for just $25, 'Buy it Now'.

Don't forget the Harley Road King pipes. Very affordable($25-$40) and not too difficult to fit on Venture. That's what I have and really enjoy the sound. Had Macs before, although they sound good they were too loud for me on a 300-500 mile day. Here's a nice pair, don't know how far from you. http://rmn.craigslist.org/mpo/4412645839.html

Hey Auggie,

Be careful if you decide to go with the MAC's or the Jardine pipes. The length of the exhaust tube was shorter on the 1983 to 1985 bikes as opposed to the 1986 to 1993 bikes. The listing on Ebay is a bit misleading. ONE set of pipes WILL NOT fit both the MKI and MKII VR's. Just an FYI. :thumbsup2:

I can not speak about the MAC as I have never had them, but on MAC's Catalog, MAC Performance says that their muffler is made to fit 1983-1993 Ventures.

I do have a set of Jardines on my '83. I got those Jardines from a friend who had them mounted on his 1987 Venture. Unbolted them from his '87 and bolted them onto my '83. No problem. :confused24:

Yes the center stand is still usable. You will have to make a transition pipe on each side. Here is a side pic of mine with the RK's.
