These are hitting the bin a week from Thursday. Make an offer. RR

The tach is driven by the Gray wire connected from the TCI unit to what appears to be spark plug #2 coil. The tach is also power by a brown wire that supplies power to the tach and is fuse protected so you would want to check the fuse also to make sure it is ok. The Brown wire also supplies power to the brake switches. I hope this helps.. Rick F

Have you checked the owners manual to see what it recommends for air pressure in the rear shock? There should be one in the Library section of the forum on 1st Gens. Rick F.

Very nice looking bike! Like the color !!

Did similar mod but only one side hang on unit. Was going to do this for long time but when visiting @Marcarl and @XV1100SE to oversee them changing Don's clutch slave unit I finally decided to buy the side tool box which fit into my tow behind trailer.

Thanks Ben, Now I just need to take it out for a Ride. We are getting steady rain all this week for the forecast But supposed to clear on the weekend. I still need to put the Badging back on but will do a wet sand first then mount the badging then polish and wax. One question you maybe able to answer the 1300 came out of a 87 so it has not run for probably 8-10 years, I had it all apart but did not pull the Transmission or split the main case. Just Running the Engine and testing the clutch it seems to Shift Fine but have a hard time finding Neutral, I am hoping once I get it out on the road It will free up after getting the Oil circulating thru the Gears of the tranny.

I have a new connector on the way. I’ll post an update when I get it installed.

I think I might have found the problem.

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to replace plugs, final oil drive and coolant. They were all past due for service. Almost 8 years on the coolant, over 10K miles on the plugs. It was so refreshing today weather wise as well as working on my ‘07. Rear tires has been ordered. Took only 3 pics, because I was so into it. 🙏

Thanks for the replies, I installed a new starter solenoid, did not fix the problem, looked at the start button and it looks ok, connected the battery with the start button disconnected and still gettin power on with the ignition in the off position. Any advice on where to look next would be greatly appreciated.

Looks super. I am totally impressed.

Interesting thought, thanks.

If this seat is still available I am interested.

For what it's worth. I replaced the crank bearings on an 87 Honda XR600 once, and when re-assembling, I was very concerned that I couldn't shift the thing by hand. Went over it a few times but couldn't find an issue. I ended up putting it back together and it shifted fine. I never did figure out exactly why.

Hi Everyone I am pleased to announce the Venture Max HD is now complete and off the Lift, now I just some good weather to take it out on its maiden Voyage, and put a few Kms on the bike before heading to Laconia in the 15th. Here it is fully assembled and ready for the road. I have also added some photos of the Blacked out Signal lights and the rear Lights. Thanks for all your Support thru out this process I will update the post after I have my maiden Voyage. Thanks Herman

Should I charge my air ride system on my 1984 Venture XVZ1200. There is not an onboard compressor and I see a cap covering an air valve. If I'm supposed to add air how many PSI's do I add?
