haven't found a utube vid or anything on removing the rear trunk how difficult is it I see only 2 nuts inside the trunk at back and 4 tiny ones in center that don't look like they could hold anything down?1987 vr

Thanks that answers the weight question ,will have to have carrier strrengthened to add tank to where the trunk went.

Sorry should have noted that bike is attatched to a sidecar so dont have to worry about being top heavy only how much weight the carrier for the box can take

anyone know how much weight the trunk rack can take.i want to remove trunk and add a 10 gallon auxillary tank

how do i get hold of sky doc17,i believe he's the fellow selling better clutch parts.i tried sending pm but putting skydoc17 in address wouldnt go through.

thank you that's perfect

fuel pump not running where is it and how hard is it to change do i have to take the gas tank out?

my suspension panel is blank except for a P in upper right hand corner i have engine running in neutral and pushing buttons does nothing owners manual doesnt really say exactly what to do it did work before but i dont remember the sequence i used if there is one i tried with engine off and key on and nothing on panel.

will an 87 fit for your 86

my clutch is slipping when in 5th gear and nailing it.what clutch plates are you guys replacing stock with? the lever is not adjustable and although i've never had a problem with any other machines it seems to be a long pull to get to the levers,also the pull is very hard almost harley like which seems wrong with a hydraulic clutch?. i was averaging 38mpg with the rig all of a sudden it dropped to 30 and the clutch slip seems to occur at high speed,could it be slipping even at lower speeds and not feel like it to cause a 25% drop in mpg? are there adjustable levers available for the vr? thanks

1987 with 36k with sidecar was averaging 38-40 all of a sudden dropped to 21, 26.2, 31.7, 28.6 , 29 no long idling no excessive speed rig coasts fine no brake drag i thought if there is a return line do to fuel pump maybe it broke or was leaking but there is no gas smell or residue. is there a return line line and any suggestions to look for for milage drop could it be clutch?doesnt seem to be slipping.

i put cree 10 watt lights on my ninja 250 that are incredible as far as visibility to cars go. since installation no one haspulled in front of me.i just recieved a set of cree 18 watt to install on the venture sidecar. will be adding a osram european halogen to the headlight.these european bulbs are different then the usa silverlights and are stock wattage but throw much more light.

i am anal about filling my gas tanks on all my vehicles i find filling the venture to be very time consuming to fill all the way to top is there a secondary vent on the tank that may be clogged it leaves at least 1/2 gallon to be filled when it first hits the filler neck as it goes down soooooo slowly?

im not sure wich is which as far as reserve vs on as the arrow is missing

I think the shift linkage is ok I think the mount is bent outward causing the angle????

VERY HARD SHIFTING LOOKS LIKE THERES QUITE AN ANGLE ON THE SHIFT LINKAGE.THE TOP OF THE LINKAGE IS FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BIKE THAN THE BOTTOM http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/Rip_Parsells/library/?sort=3&page=1

thanks got one off ebay

yes right one is there,thas because its on the sidecar side and they couldn't get to it to lose it or throw it away.

Rubber tab on left side missing too

Will that fit an 87? And thanks

TOP 4 PICSSHOW THE GAS CAP AND LACK OF MOUTING FOR TANK COVER OR TONGUE FOR SEAT http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/Rip_Parsells/library/?sort=3&page=1#/user/Rip_Parsells/library/?sort=3&page=1&_suid=140882393155608237592975671055

http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/Ri...24408773640923 anyone near montvale nj (last exit north on gsp?i'd like to see a first gen bike that is stock as far as plastic goes. i have no experience with this bike but i know it's not right.i'll provide pics soon but tank cover doesn't have the place for the bolt to screw in and there is no place for the seat tongue to go under the left side fairing has a big piece missing the side covers don't want to stay on at speed because theres no rubber band and i don't know where theyde attach to.any help would be appreciated http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/Ri...96352592153043 as you'll see the mounting for the bolt on the tank cover is missing as is the 2 mounting places for the left sidecover. i can fashion a plate to come out to meet the top tang for the sidecover the lower tang is missing the metal to connect to,the metal is broken off to the frame. but the tank cover i'm at a loss to figure as i don't see where it was in the first place on this bike.Ido see where it is on your bike but can't see how it would mount to mine if i had the bracket also the grommet for the tang on the tank cover is shot dry rot and top part missing so tab has nothing to hang on to.i'm sure these are not available as is most parts for the bike.again any help will be appreciated Take off your seat..it looks like it's mounted to far forward or maybe not. But should help you see where the tab should be! The top plastic tank cover hooks under the tripple tree and then pulls back to cover the battery and tank fill. The rear lip goes under the front edge of the seat...There is a good size metal brace with a small tab and a screw hole on it.... hope this helps, david Attached ImagesIMG_20140823_105311_108A.jpg (185.4 KB, 3 views)IMG_20140823_105358_481A.jpg (178.5 KB, 3 views)IMG_20140823_105415_045A.jpg (161.8 KB, 3 views) Thanks ,nothing under the seat no bracket no nut to screw a bolt into. Its empty flat metal
