REMOVING THE FRONT FER-RING OF A 83 XVZ12TDK

With front off the 83 it is much easier to handle , and not near as top heavy ..

I find a 50 - percent difference in a slow speed and parking lot situation .

I plan  to install a handle bar mount setup .

I have done changes like this in other bikes , there are plenty of guys who do ride older bikes and want to have the weight on top gone . 

i don't know how much the 2012 and newer Yamaha Venture cost in the USA , but here in Manitoba I need to come up with $14000 - $16000 plus   

I guess for me it comes down to making changes or go to a different bike

Hi ..campfire 12   & .saddlebum thanks for the reply 

I will send pictures as the project moves along .

The project needs to be done right , so it will take some time .

At this point I am doing the measuring to make brackets / adapters  and  digital conversion  for the electronics.

Looking for a Yamaha tack and speedometer , I  know that the 1995 XV1100 Virago has one that could to made to fit ( same size front wheel )
