Well, I started riding before I had a license so the previous bike list is too long to bother with. I'll just post my current bikes/projects.
1983 Yamaha Venture:
Bought from the first owner with 15k on it. Rode it a summer and enjoyed it. But I can't leave anything alone so the first winter:
Vmax engine transplant
Vmax carbs and Vboost manifold.
Ignitek electronic ignition to program the curve and controls the Vboost manifold.
1986 venture front forks.
Progressive fork springs
R1"gold dot" brake calipers
1986 Venture royal electrical system, stripped out things like radio and Cb, but kept the air ride suspension and cruise control
2002 Venture royal transmission, all gears and shift drums. Stronger and better ratios, revised shift sector that doesn't drop shift pins
1986 inst cluster (needed for cruise and it has a few nice features the 83 didn't)
Vmax rear diff (lower ratio). Combined with the 2002 Royal star trans, 1-3 are a touch lower, 4 is the same, 5 becomes a deep overdrive. %th is so deep, there's no point shifting up unless you're over 100 kph or it will "labor" under throttle
1986 Venture royal air shock
1986 rear side boxes (bigger)
1985 top box. Same size as the 86 boxes, but it comes off like the 83-85 top boxes. 86+ is boltedto the bike. It's a nice feature at the hotel when you can just pull the box off like a suitcase and head into your room.
Yamaha R1 rear mufflers.
Went from 99 hp to 150 hp.
Yeah, it moves. you whack open the throttle and you better be upright and pointed where you want to go becuase when that vboost manifold opensup a 5000 rpm, the rear wheel is either going to break loose and leave a rubber snake or the bike is going to go into "warp speed" and things very far away get very close very fast. If you're cornering and you whack too much throttle, you better be ready to "dirt bike slide" a 1000 lb bike! LOL!
The other bike is my 1989 Fj1200:
I waned one in high school, but couldn't afford it. So this is a "bucket list" item. modifications in progress:
FZ1 rear swingarm, shortened to fit.
FZR1000 rear wheel
FZR750R front wheel
Kerker slip ons.
Oil filter adapter kit (removes the cartridge filter for a conventional screw on one)
Custom rear shock. I took a CBR600 RR shock, tore it open, changed ti to a remote reservoir, added remotepreload adjuster from a zg14 and slipped on an Fj1200 spring. Valving and fine tuning to be done once the bike is back on the road. Couple shock pics:
It's a work in progress, but that's pretty much it for mechanical changes. The rest is paint and finish....
