ctraylor Posted October 31, 2006 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2006 My trunk has the holes to mount a trunk rack on top of the trunk but I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know where I can locate one? Thanks, Curtis Traylor Mountain Home, AR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted October 31, 2006 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2006 Curtis, If your looking for a stock one from that era then ebay is going to be your best bet. They dont go cheap so be prepared to pay around the $150.00 mark for one. Here is on I have on my '99 and I have done some measuring and it apperars that it will fit on the 1st gens also, but just barely. http://www.jpcycles.com/productdetail.aspx?PID=ZZ71104&cs=Metric&GID=742066FC-B604-4794-81D5-A4AAC6056D6C&store=&page=&search= Here is an auction on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/82-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-XVZ-1200-Backrest-Luggage-Box_W0QQitemZ190045914099QQihZ009QQcategoryZ84147QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Good luck in the quest!

86er Posted October 31, 2006 Share #3 Posted October 31, 2006 I looked for about a year and a half for one for my '86. I finaly found one at a local Honda/Yami dealer that they said someone had ordered for an 1800 wing a didn't pick up. I like the look (it's a little smaller than what I've seen on most 1st Gens) and they let me have it for $75, but I don't think it's a stock wing rack. Most of the wing racks I have seen are of flat stock and mine has round rails. My bike never had a rack and I had to drill the mounting holes, so if you already have the holes it may not fit anyway. But you might try a dealer. I just looked at the EBay link that Squidley posted and in the description they say that the rack is not included and they are selling it seperately. Here are acouple of pics of my bike. I'll try and get a better picture of the rack later and add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted October 31, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2006 Good catch Todd....it isn't included, but he's definitely way out of the ballpark on the price without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86er Posted November 1, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2006 Good catch Todd....it isn't included, but he's definitely way out of the ballpark on the price without it I figured you just missed that line, Brad. And you're right, over $150 for a box with a crack and four holes in it ?!?!? :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted November 1, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 1, 2006 ...get in line. Seems to me you were just saying there was no line on the Ebay auctions. So shouldn't your comment be "Show me the money" (quote from Swifty). Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted November 3, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 3, 2006 Curtis I also think the ones for the 83-84 are differant from the 85 and up. The trunk is smaller on the 83/84 than on the 85 and up. Now I sit back and wait to get it.....lol. I may have been wrong before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86er Posted November 3, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 3, 2006 I don't know if 83 will fit or not but here is one getting parted out on EBay and it has a rack: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/yamaha-xvz12-venture-royal-1984-Signal-more-parts_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35594QQihZ017QQitemZ270049389040QQrdZ1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted November 23, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 23, 2006 If anyone is still looking for a trunk rack, there is one on E-bay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Venture-Chrome-Trunk-Rack_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ84147QQihZ006QQitemZ160052953491QQrdZ1 It's listed as for a 99 up, but it looks like it would fit the 86-93 1st Gen.

Yammer Dan Posted November 23, 2006 Share #12 Posted November 23, 2006 Skid put one on his 86 that looks as good as orginal. Forgot what he paid for it but it really came out nice.
