Still have to see how bad exhaust pipe is as the shop has been closed since Thursday(they didn't mention when on phone) so replacement is between BOTH sides from Florida(Fallen Cycle) for around $500U.S. or Brantford Ontario right side for $500Canadian. Guy owns Royal Star Venture but don't think he is member(name Raf v). Still have to also check to see if pipe is repairable.

@MarcarlNot sure which web site you checked but the 3 that I looked at had the part # 4XY-14730-10-00 right(my side) and 4XY-14730-00-00for left side. Price was from $700U.S. to $850U.S. Bike update: Starting to piss me off(excuse my french) because I asked them to go ahead with replacing rear tire and I figured they would call me to pick up Wednesday BUT NO they didn't contact me at all OR tell me they would be closed until Monday. Thought they might at-least tell me this so I could find exhaust to finish bike for now. Website said they were open Friday and Saturday but not when I phoned! So now have to wait till Monday. Not sure now whether to get both sides of exhaust from Recycle in Florida($400U.S.) and wait for shipping or the guy in Brantford ($500Can.) But still waiting for shop to get back to me about their searches.

A guy from Brantford Ontario says he has whole right side and I can have it for $500Can.But I want to check out the pipe before I commit as shop didn't contact me Wednesday so I could pick up bike. They were closed yesterday and today so I have to wait to see if they open tomorrow.

Thanks for reply! Just seem low for shipping but will double check tomorrow.

Has anyone had any experience with Fallen Cycles getting parts from? They are in Florida and say they have left & right exhaust I need to fix my bike. They say $300U.S.(parts) + $52 U.S. sipping(to Canada) ($375can $65can) Site was on e-bay but is confusing if both sides or 1 side(will check if reputable). Look in good shape with 30,00miles off 2009

Thanks anyways @Freebird just my luck! @Marcarl will check them out. @steamer will also check with him also.

2012 exhaust rotted off at muffler on 2012 Royal Star Venture. Took to shop to change tires and now need Y pipe on right side. Shop said it will be on "back order" and around $1000can + tax.

Thanks for reply!

Hey! You just earned the 'One Year In' badge! Just received this and was wondering what it means!

Just got a call from shop saying my head bearings need to be replaced(they self center) $55 for bearings and around 4hrs labor $99per hr. then called back to agree on replacing bearings and was informed that when removing muffler the pipe fell apart so need a new one. Cost is $1000 + tax and labor and is on BACKORDER. Calling around to see if can find used but no luck so far..Does anyone know if 08 would be the same as 2012 ( I think is the same but recycle shop needs to know)

Took bike in yesterday to get tires--rear rotor and brake pads changed. Should be done Wed. Forgot the area shop is in is still in part lock-down because of amount of Covid cases so had to use bushes out back to relieve our selves (with permission)(wash rooms were not available to us). Had to weld support tube onto tire clamp I have on trailer as it was bending from lack of support under clamp. On bike table I built it is on steel plate and trailer it is hanging off tongue that is only 6in wide so flexes.

Have a speedy recovery!!

Cleaned and organized trunk and saddle bags then cleaned with last of my F1 cleaner and polish.Organizing trunk worked out good but F1 polished wasn't cleaning like it should so tried out new cleaner polish (""goclean water-less wash& polish"") read write up and said it was seen on Dragon's Den or the other show. Canadian made. While I was out side I also tried it on my Dodge Dakota and Phantom's new Nissan Quashqui (Rogue) . Will check later tomorrow.

I have a shorter one I got from @Wizard765 a few years ago that is just a little over eye level . There doesn't seem to cause turbulence at all and only have to look up a little to see better when it rains. Taller one was horrible when driving in rain especially since I drove all the time to work etc. before I retired last year( 2012 with 108,000klms)

I would think it wouldn't be advisable with the Venture because most cagers don't give much room between each other to go between. It's not allowed here (Ontario Canada) and have never seen anytime that I could have gone between anyways.

I'm with luvmy40 and go with patch cord in aux plug-in with radio( can take off front fairing and y connect to plug there so radio panel can stay shut )I plan on doing this myself as I have a Sirius satellite radio I use. When FM stations fade out or want commercial free I switch to satellite. Cheaper and less work.

Was running out of F1 ceramic coating fluid and was pricey( didn't seem to live up to specks--seemed to shine up OK but attracted dust way too easily ) so looked into getting Shine Armor and same as F1(pricey and availability---US) So saw Go Clean Waterless Carwash which is Canadian based and arrived in couple days. Will be trying in a couple days.

Have an appointment to take bike in to replace front & rear tires and also rear rotor with pads on the 28th of June. Looking around $1200can total

Welcome back!! Also hoping to meet more people after this lock-down ends! Finally retired and now handicapped on what I can do!
