Interesting indeed. Not that I ever called mine a Royale, so you think someone stuck that emblem on it? So here's my Vin, 1/83, JYA26H004DA000441, any help here? It certainly seems to be the original color, and some side pieces have stickers inside them stating 83 as well.

I found a slow leak, turned out to be very thin small nail. Take old windex bottle, squirt some dishsoap in it (good squirt), add water, drench the wheel and valve core. Sit for an hour, re-squirt if needed, but keep it all wet. Even the smallest leak will bubble. If it's the rim seal, oh well, you know. Something else, fix as you see fit.

Mine is an 83 Royale, and it's Maroon, definitely not Yellow

Looks great, just in time for Fall Weather riding

You don't have that installed yet. I figured you'd be complaining by now that you can't get the air out of the system. Good luck

My 83 doesn't have a compressor, and yes it does have a radio on the left compartment. Very similar to mine. Looks like a good deal IMO.

Congrats, and Prayers Up always Someone going to be spoiled.....

I replaced mine on my 83, not a bad project all all. What gets frustrating is bleeding the air out of the system.

I replaced the fuel filter, and has been good ever since. Totally start there, nothing to lose.

Best wishes to mom to be, and all you:2133: Hope she delivers today, a 9/11 baby will have an extra special place in many hearts.

X2, I've never had a problem with them either. Things happen, I'd email or call them.

I'm pretty sure if you install Google Chrome on your computer (and that is my favorite internet browser anyway), that you can use their Google Docs, to open Word documents for free. Going and buying Microsoft Word isn't like it used to be. No more CD's, it's download and pay for subscriptions. Edit: Actually you have to convert the file first. HOWEVER, here is a link to download free Viewers for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint should you want https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001169.htm

http://www.ebaystores.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc I'd message the seller and ask if he had any, He is known for many parts, and most certainly does not list each one of them. I agree, 17 is high, I've been missing one for a couple years.

Ask Pinwall on Ebay, they seem to have many Venture parts.

Around here, in the city are all these bike lanes. We do ride bikes right

I still bet you had to go change your underwear. Glad it's good, I still wouldn't make a habit of it

And someone told me Maroon was fastest Beautiful bike you have, Hope you got a nice ride in.

Cash is King. Good luck.

My 83 has a similar OEM kit like this. http://www.2040-parts.com/1984-yamaha-venture-royale-tool-kit-i48835/

If the torsion bar is where the spindle is, that holds the wheel on, and it's cracked or needed a weld back to the frame, I sure wouldn't drive 480 miles. Stop at a truck stop, they'll weld it quickly for you.

I like it. Have you found a good mounting point? If you get it, please give us an update

Hmmm, I see nothing. Is there a link in the thread or a pic? I'm on a desktop using Chrome.

To each his own. As much as us Gen 1, and 2 folks wanted a bike with a radiator, that wasn't so hot at the stoplights, I'll admit, I saw a few kinda nasty posts. But, also, find someone that bought a 3rd Gen, dropped 25k plus, and is willing to say they regret it. Although they might ALL very much like them, and I certainly would like to own one, I just don't ride enough to justify it. I think it is too early in the process to get true results as into if the 1st time buyers, buy again. But, back to the 2nd gen. If you like it, why would you want to change?

I put one on my 83, and it works great. I'll admit, I have it ziptied in the air so it doesn't rattle against any frame. I really like seeing the gas.

It was already complete. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/dorman-help--4422/performance-16477/engine-16841/filters-16562/fuel-filter-16704/fuel-filter-replacement-elements-screens-18492/b224f33beee4/dorman-help-glass-fuel-filter/55240/4528741/2005/gmc/yukon-xl-1500?q=glass+fuel+filter&pos=0 I thought mine had a few different end connections, but still, basically this. I still like it, and easy to see. Pain in the butt to install.
