GolfVenture Posted September 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2012 I've been busy dismantling my wrecked 91VR. Before I take this stuff to the dump, I'd though I would give the group a look. Some of you are pretty creative. If you want a closer look at a specific item, just point it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfVenture Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted September 5, 2012 I sure could use that front fender...............How Much????? I should have turned the fender around. I wasn't being all that careful. The back side is broken off, quite a ways up. If your really interested I can get a better picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabreco Posted September 5, 2012 Share #5 Posted September 5, 2012 Do you do any plastic welding? If so save the ABS plastic for either tab buildup of fills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted September 5, 2012 Share #6 Posted September 5, 2012 What is the condition of the chrome side bag and engine guard items? All road rashed, bent, and/or broken? -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Venture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keemez Posted September 5, 2012 Share #7 Posted September 5, 2012 If this machine had the trunk rack on the top and it wasn't wiped completely out I might be interested in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfVenture Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted September 5, 2012 What is the condition of the chrome side bag and engine guard items? All road rashed, bent, and/or broken? -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Venture The only usable piece is the left rear side bag guard. There is road rash on the part that extends out to the side. About 6 inches long and pretty bad. Then more road rash only not as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top of the trunk with the chrome rack is laying some where in the Nevada Desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabreco Posted September 5, 2012 Share #12 Posted September 5, 2012 So Brian, Have you given any thought to what to get to replace the 91? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted September 6, 2012 I would be interested in the trunk suports and handles. Thanks I took all of them off. When you say handles you probably mean the latches. What do you mean by the trunk supports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share #14 Posted September 6, 2012 So Brian, Have you given any thought to what to get to replace the 91? Actually I have an 89 VR with 26K miles in really nice conditionbut not as nice as the 91 VR was. The 91 VR was about a 9.5, the 89 VR is about 8.5 to 9.0 You can see it in my profile. I would have sold it this spring only the left 2 cylinders were not getting fuel so I kept it to fix later. Glad I kept it around. Miles (Million Mile Rider) came up and help me fix the carburator and put some other pieces together. It runs good now. But I won't be able to ride it till next year, for I have some more hand sugury and then therapy. I'm keeping most parts of the 91 VR for spare parts. I'm moving as must salvageable acessories to the 89 VR. It is already starting to look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted September 6, 2012 Do you do any plastic welding? If so save the ABS plastic for either tab buildup of fills. I've never done plastic welding. My limit of fixing plastic is to use PlasticX. I'll have to think about saving all that plastic. I'm going through my garages to organize and throw some stuff I've been keeping for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is already starting to look really nice. I did the same thing, I was lucky enough to find a clone 84 parts bike which had all the bling I needed. I stripped her down, crated the drivetrain & boxed all the parts. Best $600 I ever spent! Oh since you are online, do me a favor. LMK when you send out the Superbrace so I can keep an eye out for it. I will email you when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going through my garages to organize and throw some stuff I've been keeping for a long time. I posted a few how to videos using the Harbor freight plastic welder & a Dremel. Very simple to use even to piece 2 broken pieces together. I did all the faring cracks & tab rebuilding on my 84 & it is as strong as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
