My '85 that I bought new in '86, original paint

Does that mean that the luggage rack is still available? Please let me know.

Thanks for the reply, let me know about the throttle assembly when you get a chance. I'll come up with a list of the other items needed.

I'm in need of the radiator side covers, throttle assembly, and a few other things.

Might be interested in the clutch & brake levers. What's the condition & price of both? Thanks...Bill

Thanks Sean, I had a hard time making out the diagram posted so I went directly to partzilla where the diagram is slightly different for an 85. Looking more closely at the one posted here it appears to be #46. I'll shoot you a pm and take you up on the used ones that you have.

Thanks Eggo, I believe what I'm needing is #48, which are the front bushings that hold the faux tank to the bike up front. Never ordered from partzilla before, appears that it is $7.95 for 2, am I correct?

Thanks for the reply Sean. Nearest dealer for me is an hour away, any ballpark on what they run? On a side note, the carbs for my '85 are at Danny's, I'm the guy with the old school 4 into 2 V&H headers that bought the individual K&N pod filters.

Looking for a source for the grommets on the faux tank and other misc pieces. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...BEWW

Yes they are, but if listed for a vmax the asking price is substantially higher. As an example, I was able to purchase one listed for an '84 Venture for less than $8 shipped. I'll have to paint it but otherwise appears unscratched and has the same part number cast inside.

Right about now I'm feeling like a genius and wanted to share my discovery. I've started to restore the '85 that I purchased new in my youth. Been wanting to replace the gouged up cover for years and finally starting searching the 'bay for one. What they're asking for one in mediocre shape seems...
