The last time my wife rode was about 27 years ago. I recently purchased an 89 VR. The one thing my wife dreads is the helmet hair. She has shoulder length hair and she kinda of rolls her hair into a ball then puts the helmet on. My questions is, in 27 years, has there been any new hair tricks for women who hates Helmet hair.

Ground clearance is too low. Draged the kick stand around corners while not pushing it hard.

I'll take a set for my 89 VR.

For helmets check out the Evoline helmet by Shark.

I agree with Wolfman*1
"Everyone who's had a problem needs to contact the Federal Consumer Protection Division. They're the ones who can force Metzler to do something. The more complaints, the faster metzler will be forced to do something."
Like Recall them.

New owner of an 89 Venture and looking for a trailer hitch. I've read many postings and took down sites of where to order one.
My ? is, is a trailer hitch interchangable from 86 to 93. My thoughts are that it should be.

I'm making a 1 way trip from Vacaville to Seattle on my 89 Venture. While I was visiting my daughter and granddaughter I purchased this 89 Venture. I plan on flying in Sat Sept 18th and riding back on either Sun or Monday. 1st stop is Corvallis Or where I have friends. Next day into Buckley Wa. You would have to make the solo return trip back.

ASk the company. Typically on a classic or antique car the classic/antique ins is cheaper becasue they feel you value the antique more and don't use them as everyday drivers. However, typically there is a mileage limit and you cannot drive it to work or shopping only to "exercise it" and take it to shows. You can usually get an agreed value coverage with this type of coverage very cheeplywhere both of you agree on the value of the bike and if its totaled that is what they pay period. No depreciation etc. I had 5 classic/antique cars and I had full coverage on my 33 Plymouth Street Rod of $25k for $132 year with zero deductible.. Mileage was limited to 2000 plus exercise miles and I exercised her often.
Ask them a lot of questions.
I just purchased an 89 Venture with just under 24K miles. I'm looking into insurance and was wondering what requirements meets a classic. Less than $500 worth of accessories? Let me see Driver Fool Boards, Heal Toe Shifter, Hwyway Floor Boards, Driver Back Rest, Chome Front Brake Calipler Cover, Crome Fairing Vent Covers. That be over $500.00. So that means my Venture does not qualify?

I just bought my 89 Venture in the Sacramento area. While searching for Ventures, I came across this Craigs List add. I conversed with the person and he says that his brace improved the handeling, tire wear, high speed, & cornering. I did not buy one for I am too new to the 1st Gen Venture. Here is the add. You friend might find it interesting.

Still have a Yamaha Venture Royale equiped with an OEM fork brace. You don't know what you're missing. New, performance upgrade fork brace. Improves handling in the twisties, smoothes out those potholes, reduces tire wear. If you own an '83 to 93 Yamaha Venture and haven't replaced the OEM fork brace with one of these you're missing the boat... $60 Cash'n'Carry. Can Priority Mail Flat Rate to anywhere in the US. for $5.00 bucks extra pre-pay'd by Paypal. Or you can buy a Super Brace on the net for $143.00 plus shipping. Email for payment details.

Looking for a part that Yamaha can no longer get.
in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

I tried to order this part from Yamaha and they said that this part is no longer available. I'm needing the small black washer (wierd sharpe) that slides over the threaded portion of the chrome bar of the entire radio module. The chrome bar is what you grip in order to lift the entire radio module out of the faring. I have an 89 VR. I'm hoping that someone might have an extra radio module unit that they are using for spare parts.
