Not sure how much this will help, but here is a screen grab from the tech library SIDE STAND SWITCH.pdf

These two links to the tech forum may be of help.

Sorry but the Stebel harness was not one of my products. It should be a very simple harness. Connect the OEM plug to a relay to energize the coil and run a fused line from the battery to one side the Normally Open (NO) contact of the relay and connect the input for the Stebel to the other side of the NO contact. Push the horn button and the relay closes making the horn blow. The tricky bit is making sure the relay is rated for the current needed for the Stebel horn, size the wire and fuse accordingly for the current needed by the horn. I could build one, but not having a Venture around to determine what connector is needed or estimate the length or wire needed, I would need some help in the form of pictures of the horn connector, and estimate of length of wire needed to get from the battery to the new horn.

Greg, Most of the folks on this thread show as having an expired membership, so they cannot reply and most likely are not even seeing them. Your posts are showing just fine, I am always interested in fixes to hear about potential fixes to known problems, although I am no longer riding, but I keep reviewing posts in case I can help somehow from my experiences.

Yes your message has ben posted, please post the details of your fix.

From DR Google I found this, How do I tell what size Mikuni carb I have? Measure the inside diameter of the carb on the engine side. Maybe this helps. Found this here on page 82, of the full manual, not the supplements. https://www.venturerider.org/manuals/1996-2001 Royal Star LIT-11616-VZ-01.pdf

The bike does have a temp sensor, that turns the fan on and turns the light on. There is a fairly easy test that can be done with each one, see the tech section for a copy of the repair manual that tells how to test it. I have attached a PDF of the pages from the manual that should help. Troubleshooting temp sensor.pdf

That may fit behind the battery, to hold the cable that was supplied with the bike to use as a helmet lock. I forget where the cable was locked to when securing the helmet(s), I am not sure I ever used mine.

No

so here is the picture, I have no idea, except maybe it is a cover for the lock mechanism in the saddle bags on a tour deluxe. I do not recall ever seeing anything like that on my 98 Tour Classic with soft bags. Do not recall if there were covers over the saddle bag locks on my Venture.

May be because you are listed as a trial member, but normally you can just up load from your computer. PM sent.

No the rear shock is not air over hydraulic on the original Royal Stars, the air over hydraulic shocks started with the 1999 Venture and was only used on the Ventures from 1999 to 2013 and the Tour DeLuxe 2005 to 2010. For the front shocks the max pressure is 7 psi and you needed to use a zero loss pump, normally they look like an over sized syringe. I am not sure who makes or sells them now a days. You used to be able to find them at Harley dealers.

Probably take more than a toggle switch, some of the wires carry a lot of current and the heat produced would likely destroy a toggle switch, in cases like that best to use a toggle switch to actuate a relay that is rated for the current. On my 98 Royal Star Tour Classic the ignition switch was located on the left front just behind the radiator so it got plenty hot. My ignition switch went bad while the bike was under warranty so the local shop replaced it for free. I am not sure if new switch modules are still available or not for that year bike, if they are I would replace it, if not look up Dion Hinskey here on the forum, he makes ignition bypasses for the 1999 to 2013 Ventures, he may be able to help with one for your year and model.
