    Barry, the chrome saddlebag crash bars/mounting frame for the '86 - '92 DOES mount on to the black rear subframe on the '83 - '85 so if you have all of the chrome frame pieces then everything should bolt right up. You will also need the third chrome piece that goes across the back between the left and right saddlebag mounts for stability. You should also install the chrome pasenger grab bars as a convenience as your existing grab bars will not work. The black rear subframe should be the same. You will also have to use the turn signals from the newer saddlebags as the early '83 - '85 turn signals won't fit. I think you werre confusing people here as they normally refer to the '00 - '09 RSV as the 2nd beneration Venture. They refer to the First Generation as the '93 - '92 with the '93 - '85 as the 1st generation Mark (Mk) 1 and the '86 - '92 as the 1st gen Mk 2...

    Ummm, maybe replace the solenoid with an aftermarket one? I think it is a Ford type that people have been using...

    Uhhh, try to avoid "Drag Racing" type of shifting with 2nd. The problem usually doesn't occur until 30 - 50K or more, but the sooner you replace the thrust washer with the better one, the less other work that has to be done. Put it on your list of things to do in the next year or so...

    So far I';ve been very happy with Onstar, especially the cell phone feature. I only carry the basic service but it has reminded me a couple of times to reset the oil life monitor. For towing, I just use the Onstar telephone to call AAA...

    I agree! It goes from he edge of the fairing to the other edge of the fairing, and keeps the speakers dry in the rain as well as the rest of the dash. I want to get another one but with the vent installed...

    I agree, keep both. A couple of years ago I bought an '85 for parts, and now I'm gonna restore it...

    Well, you never want to turn a motorcycle rotor. Yes there is a minimum thickness but I'm not sure of it but you can usually find it in the TM. Bottom line, if the runout is OK and there are no major groves, keep using it unless you like paying around $150 or more for new rotors...

    Why, as a matter of fact I bought a set for mine, but for the MK2 brakes, as they are being changed over this winter along with the front shocks. Haven't tried them out but they seem decent enough...

    OK then, Rankmaster... Betcha I have you beat. I was 4 different ranks in one day! When I graduated from AIT I was an E3 and got a 2 grade promotion to E5. I also got Article 15'ed for missing bedcheck and waws busted from E3 to E2, so they repromoted me from E2 to E4. That Battery Commander didn't like me.

    You just WANT to see me divorced, don't you?!!?

    Actually, you can screw in a set of cheap aftermarket mirrors into the clutch and brake master cylanders! The brake even has the "backward" thread required for the installation...

    Man, that's as nice if not nicer than Goldie. His trailer looks a lot cooler and matches better than mine does! Tempting, very tempting...

    You ight want to check with Old Bull. He is parting out an '86 but not sure if he wants to part out the engine or not...
