KIC Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Well I was able to stop by and see the 87 Venture that was being parted out while I was up in Phoenix. The bike was definitely rougher than the pictures show. The impact really damaged a lot of the bike. The force and velocity appeared to force a lot of parts forward breaking and twisting stuff. The guy only would take cash and his prices was so-so. I was able to get a few parts for my 87 though. The biggest score for me was the set of 3 matching pouches, two for the front and the matching on the rear. ( If anybody needs a dark grey rear pouch, I have one). I also scored a good seat and a new radiator chrome cover. The fairings were trashed, upper and lower. the right side of the engine is trashed. the rear bags were trashed. There is a good speedo console with 38,000 miles. He will sell the left rear hard bag complete ($70.00). He wouldn't just sell the top. No aftermarket chrome. The CB/Class console is complete but all except one screw hole is busted, but could be fixed easily. He wants $80.00 for the whole unit. There is a full set of carb, but they will need to be thoroughly cleaned as the air filter is not screwed on, but on top to (slightly ) protect from rain etc. Sorry I couldn't come through with some of the parts you guys needed, but the bike was so rough.... Hope this helps somebody. I most likely will have to go back there for work, so if anybody wants something, let me know.

Pegasus1300 Posted September 28, 2012 Share #9 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Thanx for checking Bill. I already have a bag lid that needs painting and don't need the whole bag.I'm glad you could get the parts that you needed so it wasn't a total waste.Do you know what happened in the wreck?

KIC Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted September 28, 2012 No... it looks like he bought it at an auction. it is a small motorcycle shop with a small "junk yard" in the back. The bike just looks like it took a hard front end hit at speed. The blunt force velocity really forced parts forward. The rear trunk opened, ripping out the latches on the lower trunk and the back rest was forced forward and popped out of the upper brackets.

KIC Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted September 29, 2012 If you look at the pictures, the headlight and gold frame appeared OK, the silver/chrome frame was broken. Which part did you need ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
