Good to know this stuff. Thanks for the information.

[YAMAHA VENTURE BROCHURE Wanted]

I posted a Yamaha Accessories Brochure on General Tech Talk.

Take a look.

You can copy them and view with a photoviewer for a good closeup...

 

I don't mind at all. Good job.

Hi Rich, so did you get the Burgandy 84VR?

 

I got the 1984 Gold from forum menber Gone14S. He installed a 1300cc engine along with a lot of chrome goodies. It's a good looking ride and runs great. He did a great job on the installation. It's a clean machine for being 24 years old.

I've been called Rich (in name only), I've been called Reed (when getting chewed out) but I figured Chicoman was a good forum name since I live here.

Remember, don't call me late to dinner.

[Yamaha Goodies - Dial-Up Beware]

I found a Yamaha brochure from 1990 that lists accessories for the Venture, Virago and V-Max. The brochure is printed on coated stock and measures 17"X22" and is folded to 11"X17". I scanned the cover page and the two pages on the Venture accessories. The brochure doesn't list the price but it does give us an idea of what was available way back when.

Enjoy............

 

I just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum. My first post and I blew it.

Reed, just get out and ride her. The motor I put in her get's cranky if you don't pay any attention to her. She probly gets mad at all the otherbikes in he garge next to her.

As I said before Jack (Condor) is the man for anything you might want or need. Check with him before going on a wild goose chase for parts when needed. He is where I got the motor from.

 

I'll take the CBX though...lol

The bike is looking good. Got it registered and insured. A little heavier than my X but I"m getting used to it. Have always liked the looks and style of the Venture.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I've been lurking for a while reviewing different threads and picking up information here and there from the forum.

About a month ago I bought a 1984 Venture Royale from a forum member. This bike joins my 1982 CBX, 1988 ZX10 and 2002 Mean Streak. I've always liked the Venture as I had a 1984 I bought in 1990 that had a sidecar installed by the previous owner. The SC was color matched to the bike and could be unbolted in about 5 minutes. After about 6 months of riding with this rig I thought I knew how to handle it. I couldn't have been more wrong. Going around a slow speed curve in 1991 with my two young ones I lost control and hit an oncoming car. Completely my fault. Totaled the bike with a bent frame not to mention the damage to the fairing. The kids were not hurt altho I wasn't so lucky.

Anyway, I've always wanted another Venture and finally have one. I'll be asking a lot of questions in the future.

Sorry for the long introduction.
