2004 yamaha venture ..handle bars and backrest questions

[Twodog35]

since I have purchased my 2004 Yamaha royal star midnight venture I have done a few things to it, lowered the

back about 2-3", changed passenger backrest/seat height locations..

what I want to do now is 2 things.. I want to put 10"(roughly) mini apes on it. I like that location of bars better than

the stock ones. I am concerned about the fairing location compared to the handle bar mount. Has anyone put

10" mini apes on one of these? please let me know if you have.

 

2nd thing is looking for drivers backrest. there are some on ebay that I like. just want to confirm

that when I look up parts for my bike, is there any difference between a royal star midnight venture and just a royal

star venture????

 

 

thanks!

The only difference is the color and the Midnight has some extra chrome. All parts are interchangeable.

Yup!! What Don said! '99 to '13 ALL the same except for color or the amount of stock chrome depending on what "model" it is i.e Midnight, "S", etc.

 

The only issue you may encounter with different bars is having to install longer throttle cables, and clutch and brake hydraulic lines. Unless you are going very extreme, there should be enough free play in the wiring harness. I've heard about a couple of modifications on facebook concerning this exact subject...
