Hey thats exactly what I thought, If George Jetson rode a motorcycle it would be the Victory Vision. It would have to be be a performer to be that ugly. I can appreciate performance but I don't know if I could get used to people laughing at my bike every where I rode.

I recently bought a part on ebay, (Lower fairing vent Louver ),from an ebay vendor, cmstexas. The seller did not offer any shipping options other than USPS Prioity mail for $6.80 which I thought was a little expensive. But, I needed the part more than the $6.80 shipping so I bid on item anyway and won it. I paid for item and shipping via paypal and part showed up in two days very neatly packaged in a box you could have put fifty of them in. Opened the box and item is rattling around in huge box with one wrap of tiny bubble wrap, and a small piece of brown slick sided shipping paper,(But, not enough to cushion item from rattling around in box). So as soon as packaged arrived and being a dutiful E-bayer I left, as e-bay request Honest feedback which read. Positive option "Item arrived quickly and was as described but shipping expensive. " next day, today....................................... I get E-bay e-mail from this seller four paragraphs chewing me out because I complained about his shipping charge amoung other things he ranted about: "Shipping cost was clearly stated in listing" Yes it was but, seller did not offer any less expensive shipping options. I've been riding for the last 10k miles with this part missing I would not have had a problem waiting an extra day or so for cheaper shipping cost. "With the cost of packageing materials he lost money" :fiddle::fiddle: I don't doubt it shipping a 6 ounce item in a 30 pound box, I don't know what he paid for the box, roll of brown shipping paper and the bubble wrap but I use free newspaper which works just as good, I've shipped the same item with no problems in an padded envelope. for a fraction of the shipping cost. My business experience tells me that if he is losing money doing business, maybe he should rethink the way he is doing business. :Im not listening to:Im not listening to

I'm sorry, how can I help you. I had to shut down while on trip to Sturgis and out west because I could not get internet access in the remote area of the country where I was traveling. I was gone for about a month. If there is anything that you are looking for I will make sure to give you my undivided attention if i can help you with anything you need. I thought i had contacted everyone and explained the circumstances. -

Radiator fan
Dragonslayer replied to Dragonslayer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thanks ya'll for your help. I found the problem a blown 10A fan fuse and I KNOW WHY IT BLEW. Whenever your working on your bike and you drop a screw or a bolt or a washer. Then you look and look and can not find it. When you finally give up convinced the screw fell into a black hole and disappered forever. Well one of those black holes is located in the fan shroud. Evidently I had dropped a bolt that got caught up in the fan shroud and happened to get wedged in a possition where it locked the fan blade.When the fan wanted to run like it was supposed to, and couldn't it popped a fuse just like it was suppossed to to keep from burning the fan motor out.

Paypal would be fine I'm thinking $20.00 should cover shipping package won't be heavy but it will be a fairly large box. Paypal $95.00 total part and shipping to my account at charlesgraham4867@comcast.net soon as payment received I'll have it on the way. -

I've got both the left and right side lower fairings but I would not say either one was in good shape both have cracked or broken places and would need to be repaired and repainted but they are fixable. I'll sell them for $5.00 a piece, plus shipping. -

I bought the 1200 off ebay as a parts bike and it was not running, and had no title. But, I put a good battery in it and it turned over easily and all the systems seemed to work well. But, I never saw it running or have ridden it so I have no history with the second gear. As I started parting out the motorcycle all the parts seemed to be in good mechanical shape and working order except for dirty and in need of some clean-up. In the process of parting it out I took the stator cover off and found the stator completely fried which would explain it not running. The above is the exact circumstances of the motor as far I know but I make no other promises or claims about the motor I was just planning to part the motor out as needed for parts. Your welcome to inspect the engine since you live relatively close. Or Ill be glad to remove whatever parts you may be interest in . I do however, have history with the 1300. It was on my bike and running before I replaced it with a 1990 low mileage motor I found for a pretty good deal $550.00 including shipping. At the time my starter clutch had gone out which was the reason I swapped the motor out. -

Bongo, I've got both halves of the upper fairings they are in good shape but will need to be repainted. Some previouse owner sparypainted Red on Red Fairings with flat black and did not do a good job of it. I'll make you a special deal for being so kind to send me the gremlin bell. -

Sorry the TCI sold on ebay FYI it went for $104.00 I'll sell the entire engine less starter, carbs and the stator is bad for $250 You pick it up or $325.00 delivered. It turned over easily before I started parting it out, Odommeter was showing a little over 50K miles. Or I have a 87, 1300 less Carbs and starter and Stator and cover. 1300 has a bad starter clutch. 80k miles for $175 you pick up $250.00 delivered.
