Holly Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted June 11, 2023 after going over the bike and putting a few miles on it, i am setting it aside till i have more time, suspension appears to be locked up, possibly running on 3 cylinders, brakes, and other small issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledj Posted June 12, 2023 Share #8 Posted June 12, 2023 I've 2 Ventures. A first gen and a second. The first gen has been sitting for 6 or 7 years now, and I'd give it a going over and sell it because I don't ride it anymore, but decided to keep it and get it going when I retire. Still have 4 or 5 years left. I don't want to get rid of it 'cause I remember what a fantastic bike it was to ride. Great power and handling for a sport touring bike, but my second gen is more comfortable for cruising. My tushie loves the pillow top seat, too. Point being: Don't give up on that first gen.......A good running one is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted June 14, 2023 Uncledj, this is my second 1st gen, that is why i bought it, loved riding it! I also have a second gen, 05 tour deluxe and a 04 vstar 1100 that are rideable, have 2 maxims as projects along with the 88, just too much at the moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share #10 Posted July 16, 2023 Anyone ever put a 2nd gen engine in a first gen? I have a wrecked tour deluxe and was wondering if I can make the engine fit an 88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
