Hi, Do you have the right and front lowers ? I would be interested in buying them as long as they are not cracked / broken. Scratches are ok as I will be repainting. Also, do you have the chrome strip for the windshield? Stuart

How far have you driven on Reserve Fuel?
Stuart replied to Du-Rron's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I had no choice one day as I misjudged my fuel, I went 83 KM (about 50 miles) on reserve and still had a dribble of gas left in the tank. I did slow it down to conserve fuel ,, 100 km hr (60mph) -
Hi everyone, I am in need of a right and left front lower for my 2008 venture royale. Same lowers on the Royal star. Is anyone scrapping a bike where these parts are not cracked or broken and you would like to sell them? I do not care about colour (as long as they are not cracked/broken) as I will be repainting bike. Thank you everyone. Stuart 604 862 1273

Hi Everyone, I have a 2008 Venture Royale. I was doing some basic service/checks and noticed I have sludge in my water reservoir bottle. Looks like it has been leaking for awhile now ,, can not tell if water is in the oil (engine). Bike runs great but I did lay it down and it was on its side for awhile (hit a deer). Is it possible oil got in the water because the bike was on its side for awhile, or is the most likely culprit water pump (as it does look like it has been leaking for a while). Is a water pump / seals easy to replace or am I off to the Dealer? Thank you everyone!! Stuart

Hi, I just got my bike back from the shop. It turns out it was my drive shaft / rear end. They put in a brand new one and ALL of my noises have gone away. No whining, no third gear noises ,, nothing. It was expensive but I should not have this problem again as I hear it is very rare to have the rear end go.

Gave up on Monsters and bought RK pipes
Stuart replied to Bert2006's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hi, HD RK mufflers are made that way and the good news is if you can not see through them at all, they have never been touched or altered. If you like more sound you can actually put a screw driver / or other device into the pipe and knock open one of the four corners (many write ups on this). I have RK mufflers on my bike and find the sound to be exactly what I was looking for ,, not too loud. But if you open them up then on long rides you may find that roar getting to you after awhile. So definitely hang onto your OEM mufflers. -
LA Choppers / Barons Ovals are loud and raspy. They are also a very skinny pipe (if you like that). I put on HD RK mufflers and I really like them as they have a nice sound and they are not obnoxious. I just had to make up a bracket but it was simple to do. I think this site even has a sound clip for the RK mufflers.

How much should I expect to pay?
Stuart replied to Bert2006's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I am late to this thread but I paid 60.00 Canadian to have mine made. If anyone in Canada needs some I can now get them cut cheaper, as there is no cost to make the template. -
K&N will allow a bit more air but the real benefit is they last a lifetime. I have put them in both my bikes and once or twice a year I clean/recharge the air filters. Great investment and worth every penny.

Michellan Commander II for Venture
Stuart replied to Sleeperhawk's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
AGREED I went with the 130 Michelin Commander II for the front and I love it ! No problems what so ever and even better news is that you can not tell you went from a 150 to a 130, as the Michelin fits well size wise (meaning it does not look skinny or out of place).
