Check the classified. I have left and right black and gold fairings in good shape from an 86 that will fit.
Thank you for the response. Where do you live? Could you provide pictures if you are looking to sell them. Might just take both and have a spare or sell extra to make up some of the cost for shipping.
I'm in Colorado zip 81006

Where can I find body parts for this motorcycle? Needing the left Fairing and a few additional parts which I've found online minus the left fairing. What years would fit?

There are 2 bolts holding the starter in place, 1 nut holding the wire on. Then there are 2 allan nuts on the header pipe. Take all these off and out she comes. Only have to do the one header pipe.
Awesome, thank you. Figure it out as I was digging into it. What sucks is after getting it out and all the disassembly I found it was the battery.
Benefit to the process. I found the radiator fluid was full of debris from over the years. Rather get this all finished before its road worthy than after.

Hey all, ok so checked everything mentioned and all checked out except for the starter. Seems to be froze up. Without a complete disassembly is there a way to pull it out easier. I've pulled radiator hoses and got bolts out, but having a tough time removing starter.

First things first eh. Check battery, you did that. When you push the starter what voltage does the battery show. Next, check all the fuses to make sure there is power going through them, so check the load side connector. Also check the main fuse. Then post what you have found.
Thank you for the response. I will check volts tomorrow and get back to you on that. The battery is good for sure. Just thinking the power is stopping somewhere..

If you jumpered over the starter solenoid on the large cable/wire that comes directly from the positive post of the battery, basically eliminating the solenoid from the circuit completely, and the starter did not engage and attempt to roll the engine over then, IMHO, you either have a bad/low battery, a bad connection in the circuit or a faulty starter. If the starter makes a clunk noise when you jumper like that and no engine rolling over, it is possible you have a locked engine = if this is were to happen and I were working on it I would put a wrench on the rotor bolt on the end of the crank (stator side) and see if I could roll it over by hand..
Thank for the response. I had jumped the solenoid and checked the motor for it being seized. It rotated just fine. Replaced fuse box with a new one and secured all new wire connections with new fuses. Still no cranking and still no sound from say fuel pump. I charged battery completely and had it tested. It was good, just sat for a while. So that's good too. The next thing is to check the stater. Is there a good way to do this?
Thanks for the input and ideas.

Hello, New here to the Forum.
I traded for an 87 venture royale. Got it home and have been tinkering with it looking for things that need replaced and fixed. The first is getting it started. The battery is charged, the headlight dims when pressing the start switch, but not getting any cranking over. Not even hearing the fuel pump starting. Tried the Arc from from solenoid and nothing happened.
The previous guy had a friend drop bike while riding it and messed up the body. My buddy started pulling all parts to repair the broken fender, boxes and more. Honestly I am almost thinking he had disconnected something, but not sure.
Would like to get it running to try and figure out what else I need to start searching for.
Any suggestions?
