Installed Show Chrome Celestar Radiator Grill

[Globewalker]

Installed Show Chrome Celestar Radiator Grill Model 61-108 on my 07 RSTD

 

Many vendors selling it list it being compatible with the Venture only.

The ebay seller swore it would be the same as the RSTD – that they have the same radiator setup.

Since I got a good deal (half price of new) I figured I would take a chance.

Well it wasn’t exactly a direct fit, but it was doable.

So I am not sure if the same minor mod is required for the Venture also or just for the RSTD - but I suspect they would have the same radiator setup.

 

Basically though, I just had to do a fair amount of bending on the top two tabs and wallow out the bottom two tab holes a bit more. A little trial and error but got it to work.

Attached are pics of what it took and the finished look.

Hope it helps if anyone else tries to install one..

 

And now I run across this Wagner grill on the forum.. now that really looks nice.. but too late

Looks great! How much are they?

[Globewalker]

They are about $120 to $130 new

I know J&P Cycles has them, Cruiser Customizing, maybe JCW

I got lucky and found it on ebay for $65 w/ shp from an individual

Thanks

They don't install any easier on the Venture. I think the grill was designed for the older Royal Stars, from the mid-90's.

It was no easy install on my 08 but when done it was a nice touch!
