Saw a black early 80's venture parked in front of a house on my way through the little town of Howard, NY around 2pm on the 6/11/08. Also saw a two tone blue later 80's model on rt 36 in Hornell, NY a week or so ago, forgot to ask about that one until now.

I am considering a J&M Model HS8154 headset for a 3/4 helmet ( I have an '88 Venture Royale). Is this a decent quality product? I have seen it mentioned here a few times. I am probably looking to use it with the CB more than anything else...just to communicate with others I am riding with. And then probably only looking to use it on a limited basis. I ride solo most of the time so not really looking to communicate with passengers. If anyone has other suggestions let me know.......and if you know make, model etc. I would appreciate it. I have seen the recommendations to shop at WingStuff but as a Canadian I will pay a premium in shipping, duties etc. to get it here. So suggestions for that would be appreciated too. Thanks! rez

for a new Venture, Yamaha/Suzuki/Polaris of Louisville has 2, one '07 Blue/Black, and one '08 Black Cherry/Black. I hadn't really kept up with the color changes or the few "cosmetic" changes on the later models. I saw that Stratcat's '07 Midnight has pillow seats, as do both on the dealer floor. I also noticed the brake/clutch levers are a little beefier than mine too. I was looking on the Star website and saw there's no Midnight model for '08, but an S model instead. Is that the Silver/Silver model? Guess I'm a little behind on the few changes they've made. I stopped at the dealer here in E'town this week to get some oil and the parts guy told me that he's heard rumblings of some changes engine-wise for the Venture, and he kinda thought it maybe was going to be tied to the new V-max that's coming out this summer.

Greetings all. I've been sending emails to Flatout Motorcycles in Indianapolis, Indiana but getting no response. I tried to ring them once, but it was too late in the night here in Australia to wait around for them to open up in their morning. I want to know if they have a 2008 rear shock for a 2004 RSV that I can buy from them through their website. You may know from other posts of mine that my shock crapped itself, and after shopping around I've settled on a genuine CURRENT model replacement. A fellow Aussie member lockdoc said he bought a 2005 one from Flatout for his 2004, and It's been suggested to me that I go for a 2008 model unit due to apparently better modifications. Now, herein lies my problem. THEY WON'T TALK TO ME! Is there somebody on this forum who lives nearby to flatout who can give them a ring on 317-890-9110 and ask them to respond to my emails, or email me so I know we're talking? If whoever is in a position to do so would like to PM me, I'll supply my email address for relaying to them. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I'm in a bit of a rut. Needless to say I can land a genuine unit in Australia from America, far cheaper than I can buy it here at home. Crazy, but true. -
I found the following bike on the local site the other day. Tell me if you think it's worth trying to get running. If not it might make someone a great parts bike!! http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=2585824&cat=&lpid= It must be an '83 model. Dave

Can anybody tell me how to identify a California emission model Venture from a non-emission one? I imagine it has some extra evaporative canisters and plumbing on it. Are the emission goodies visible without pulling plastic? Any help would be appreciated. -
Clay18 and I decided that it was time for a new "Venture". We had a tough time deciding what "model" to get. Check out the link to see what "model" we chose. share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0GaOGrNy2YuPg Lauri

Hi everyone, I'm seriously considering trading in my DL1000 V-strom to purchase a Venture so my wife can go on trips with me. I saw one this last weekend at the Seattle International Motorcycle Show, was *very* interested but had some questions the sales people weren't too keen on asking. Can't really say I blame them, but I was wondering if your group would mind answering a few of the questions they didn't have an answer for.. 1. Has there been any significant changes to the Venture for the past 4 years? 2. What is the most common problem with this model, and what is the usual fix? 3. How much additional current is available for items such as heated clothing, GPS etc.? 4. If there was one thing you wish you could do to improve the Venture what would it be? Lastly, this would be an every-day rider (well ok 9-10 months out of the year). Any big maintenance issues to be concerned about outside routine maintenance? Thanks for your time. It's basically a toss-up between this bike and a Gold Wing.

I have not yet purchased an RSV. I saw the first one that I think I have ever seen last Saturday. But they interest me, and I have been doing some research on here and looking at a lot of pictures. So I have some questions. 1. Do all the RSV's come with driving lights - those two lights on either side of the headlight? Some have them and some do not. The one I saw also had visors over the driving lights. Are these lights add-on accessories? 2. I have noticed a difference in the passenger backrests as well. The one I saw had a very nice passenger backrest with arms on it for the passenger to lean back and relax. But I notice a lot of them do not have this. So is this particular type of back rest another add-on, or was it peculiar to certain model years? 3. The particular model I saw also had a light bar/air foil on top of the top box on the back. I presume that that IS an add-on. 4. I have read that RSV's have 12 volt accessory outlets for heated vests, for example. But the 2004 model I saw did not have any outlets. So what is going on here? Can some one answer these questions?

I just renewed the insurance on my RSV. When I bought it (second-hand) the previous owner said it was a 2003 model. Took him on his word. I've since found out - through this forum - that it's a 2004 model. She's white, apparently that makes it 2004. The insurance company is trying to tell me that it can tell from the VIN that it was manufactured in 2003. This may be so, but does that make it a 2003 or 2004 model. See my avatar. She's definately white. VIN is JYAVP09254A000058 and was sold new in Australia on 04/05/2004. (That's the fourth day of May for you Yanks). So, what year model do you reckon I own? I'd like to straighten out the insurance company.

Is your speedo different? Is it KMH up top (printed) and MPH below in the LCD part? Or is it the reverse like the US model.

I am in the market for a touring bike and have the opportunity to purchase a low mileage 2003 Venture. Is there anything I should know about this particular model year or marque? The bike is fully loaded and sounds like a great deal. Any gotchas for the 2003s?
