2008 Venture Swingarm/diff

[Biker Dash]

I found a listing for a complete 2008 Yammie Royal Star Venture swingarm/differential. Will this fit my 03 Max, or are there differences that will make it so it will not work? This is the listing here:
2008 Royal Star Venture swingarm/diff on Ebay

Not without some cutting/welding and either fab shock tabs or fab a mono bracket (and modify the fuel tank).

Ok, the differential itself... it would work on my bike though? (Do not know if they changed things after a certain year or not)

You won't have a shock mount already drilled and tapped. it will work if you want to drill/tap the hole for the stud. It is a 10% ratio change (like the venture units).

So, an older venture unit is what I am looking for? Such as this:

[one2dmax]

no, you want 86-93

Thank you. That helps immensely. Do you have such a diff on hand?

 

[one2dmax]

I should have though I think I am getting low. I probably can't compete with ebay prices though normally. Looking at $150 and up depending on condition.

I found only ONE on Ebay, and looking at the pics and the fact that it was hit in the ass end, I don't trust the unit, to be honest...

Wait... They just had what appears to be a new listing.
This is what I need?

Thank you. Then I will just need to look up the procedure and needed tools to do the swap!

14mm socket...

Thats all???

 

[davesax36]

For just a diff swap? Pretty much. You can drop the swingarm, too, so you'll need a 17mm and a 10mm for that.

 

[davesax36]

Nevermind...

 

[Biker Dash]

Nice! I got them tools lol

Now, I just need a guide for doing this. So I don't fuck it up lol

 

[davesax36]

I've done 3 of them. I can walk you through it. Or you can guess. It's pretty simple.

Not pulling the full swingarm. All I will be pulling off after the tire is pulled is the diff.

Placed my bid on the Venture diff today. Hopefully, I'll win the bidding, and have it here within a week or so.
