    1983 Venture Royal
  1. Back in April I was coming back from East Tennessee and rode for about 6 hours in the pouring rain. My Frog Toggs kept. me nice and dry. I gave about $45 for mine.
  2. First of all, thank you for your responses. Where can I get the stainless steel braided line with the correct fittings on them. Next, what year did it change from MK1 to MK2?
  3. I have been trying to get the brakes on my '83 to the point that I feel safe riding it for quite some time now. I've read many posts about the brakes and understand that the brakes on this model are a know problem. I have not de-linked them yet. last night I decided to just concentrate on the front brake. I bleed it and feel that I have all the air out of the lines. But the brake lever still feels very spongy. I am thinking about disconnecting the anti-dive and see if it makes a difference. What are the pro's and con's to doing this?
  4. I want to thank everyone that helped me to solve my problem with my headlight. I re-soldered the circuit board in my dash panel and my headlight now works and I no longer have all those false warning indicators. You guys are awesome.
  5. Thank gdserlin, I'll let you all know what I find out.
  6. kic, Thank you so much. Let me check a few things out and if I find that it is the lighting unit, I will most certainly take you up on your offer.
  7. sgn, Thank you so much. That will be a great help. I do have intermittent problems on the display. This may solve all my problems.
  8. bongobobny, I have the skydoc fuse block installed but I will check the voltage. Thank you.
  9. Well, it looks like I have my work cut out for me. I guess I'll start pulling things off so I can get to all the wiring. There is nobody close to me to borrow a reserve lighting unit from so I'll just try to check it and go from there.
  10. Thank you for the replies. When I checked the battery I got 12.9 volts. I will take the cables off the batter and clean them real good. How do I get to the circuit board in the dash?
  11. The headlight on my '83 VR has quit working. I pulled the bulb out and checked it and it seemed to be ok. I bought a new one anyway and it doesn't work either. I checked the voltage at the plug. Using the green wire as the common; with switch on low beam I got 7 volts at the black wire and 4.25 volts at the yellow wire. With the switch on high beam I got 1.9 volts at the black wire and 1.8 volts at the yellow wire. I took the dimmer switch apart and sprayed contact cleaner on the switch. No change in voltage. All of the other lights work fine. Where should I go from here?
  12. Thank you KIC. Do you know how much to put in each tube?
