Steve S Posted January 17, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2022 Hello Venture Fans. I put a set of Yamaha Passing lamps on my bike today. I took the fairing off to wire them up and when I tried to put the fairing back on of course it wouldn't go on. I unbolted the passing lamp bar and reinstalled the fairing then the light bar. This got me to thinking (Scary I know) that my old Venture had an attachment to bolt the light bar to in order to remove the fairing. Am I correct on this or is my brain still scrambled from the last wreck in 11??? I would appreciate any input you might have. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted January 17, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2022 Yes, a couple of people used to made an adapter. Don’t know if anybody still does or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW Posted January 18, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2022 Steve, I haven't made the light bar spacer for at least 12 yrs. now. I will look out in the garage tomorrow I may have one of the original ones on a shelf out there, if so it's yours. BMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory is so bad I can't even remember what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReinyRooster Posted January 20, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 20, 2022 I might be interested in one of those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiny I am going to look into making one, but from the pictures I have seen, it will require a lathe and I no longer have one available to me. I hate it when my friends retire and I no longer have access to their fancy expensive tools... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasta Burner Posted January 21, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 21, 2022 Silly question here, I had to Google “passing lights” but when I discovered what they are I’m wondering why they are called that and what’s the differentiation between driving and passing lights?

They are called that way because they first became popular on the first gens, because they passed everything in sight and it was best to have lots of light on the scoot so those whose were being passed had enough time to notice what had taken place. Later they were used on the 2nd gen and then became known as driving lights, for reasons that should be self explainatory. At least that's what I heard and I got it right from the internets mouth so to speak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted January 21, 2022 Share #10 Posted January 21, 2022 I quit making them because I also lost access to a milling machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted February 4, 2022 Share #11 Posted February 4, 2022 Steve I was the other person that made the bracket you are looking for. I used 3/16 metal and bent it into a 90* "Z". The metal size was 3"x4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
