Any luck with the pics?

If I ever get a Venture, I probably will

Thanks - I sent you a PM. My trial membership only lasts maybe 3 more weeks. Maybe we can chat PM - I am not far from Schertz.

Do you have any pics of the bike? I'd love to see it.

Any ideas as to what may cause this condition? Seems to me that it must be too lean, as in maybe a clogged jet, filter, fuel line, petcock, etc. Maybe? I appreciate opinions!

Anybody running a darkside tire setup here? I was very happy with the double-darkside on my Vulcan Nomad.

I am looking at purchasing an '87 VR that runs very well, but only on choke. What I mean is, the engine sounds strong and smooth. But it dies when off choke. Otherwise it looks very well cared for. 1) Worth buying if I get a good deal? 2) Am I looking at rebuilding carbs right off the bat? 3) Anything I can do without removing the carbs, just to see if I can get it running properly? Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome - I am considering the purchase of a Venture Royale 1300 and came here for info. I appreciate the help!
