It may be an 03, but it's no different than a 2013 but with maybe less miles.

Asheville?

I paid $2300.00 for my '06 a few years ago, but it was close to 100K on the odometer. Otherwise in nearly mint condition.

Yes, the Gen1 MK1 had linked bakes. Rear and right front(IIRC) on the pedal and the left front on the grip. @skydoc_17 sells a delinking kit. If you already have R6 calipers on the front you are ahead of the game. Those, Earl's delinking kit and a higher flow front MC will make a world of difference in the stopping power. I don't remember if you want a Gen1 MK2 front MC or a Gen2 front MC. Earl will chime in on this, hopefully.

@HeatherFeather for the air suspension computer I ended up re-soldering all joints internal and it works great now. Also mine was obviously attempted to be fixed by a previous owner without luck and they ended up cutting the air lines and installing schrader valves. Once I spliced all that back together the computer was timing out. Took the compressor apart, cleaned and lightly oiled with pneumatic oil, same with the selenoid bank and fixed the timeout issue. looks like R6 calipers up front. I didn’t see it mentioned in the thread so just an FYI the bike has a linked braking system. (Unless of course the gen 1 didn’t do that, someone correct me if I’m wrong)

I’ve seen prices all over the spectrum. That may be slightly high but not bad.

Hello all. I was originally looking at a Goldwing than a friend recommended a Venture. I am considering buying this one and wanted advice on price and what I should look out for? I am not affiliated with seller so this isnt an advertisement, sorry dont want it coming off wrong! https://www.facebook.com/share/14x2FZ8Ywk/

Very nice bike. Never ridden one but they are loved by many. Hope you heel up and get back on it soon.

Hi all, just checking in as it’s been a while. Got a new to me toy in the spring so the VR has gotten little miles this season 😕. Honestly I was going to get rid of the girl for a dresser more favorable to my short leg dilemma, but went a different route and decided to keep her. Looked at a Beautiful Roadmaster, just couldn’t come to terms on price with the seller. Ended up making the move to add some more Italian to the garage and picked up a MG California Vintage! Gotta say I absolutely love it 😍. Season was great until about a month ago during a Moto rally camping event I tripped over a tent line and broke my ankle in a vole hole 🩼🩼. So now I’m home recovering from surgery with loads of time on my hands to accomplish those winter projects and not the mobility to execute 😭. Anyway, hope y’all are having a great season, and with any luck I’ll still get in a few fall rides. here’s a few pics of my new toy

I'd like to pique your experience for a custom setup if you don't mind. The forum won't let me message you, but I'm also on Starbike and facebook groups posting about my recently purchased black Eluder

Failed quote.. how delete? lol

Thank you! I've been on the Star bike forum a while. Bought an Eluder a couple months ago

I thought who was on 1st.

I can't wait but I got a lot of riding before then.

Was unable to get my hands on a truck that required a good lengthy road test.

Yeh kinda sucks. Will have to see what next year has to offer. Nice pics BTW.

Where are you?

Here are a few pictures I took!

@saddlebum sorry to hear this!!
