    OK Guys here it goes... I just got a 1999 Royal Star Venture which looks like just came out of the show room with only 4270 original miles. Yup! You are reading right, ONLY 4270 original miles. Even better, the price tag ONLY $1650. I know, I know, you are asking what is the catch, well here it is... Two month ago the owner went to start it and heard a loud pop in the engine. Luckily he did not try again and rushed to diagnose the problem. After long search he discover the number 2 cylinder suffer a hydro lock. Connecting rod is bent and piston skirt got damaged by getting hit by cam counter balance. So far it looks like the cylinder is not damaged buy the only way to know will be when open. Talking to previous owner, he told me that a few days before he had totally redone the carbs, which makes me suspect the number tow carb floater must have gotten stock and hence the flood. Well, since I am in love with RS I couldn't pass the chance to have this beautiful bike for this amount of money and lunch myself into the challenge of fixing it. My question to you is what would you do? Would you try to fix the engine or just buy a low mileage engine and just swap them? (This sims so far the cheapest way) Have anyone done either one of these? I have read the books and the most difficult part seems to be the handling of the heavy engine? I'll be very thankful to hear from the wisdom of the GURUS here in this great forum. Looking forward to hear from the master, Humbly, Little Grasshopper JJ
