I have always liked these bikes. I have a 1986 Goldwing aspencade that is in mint condition. I like the older bikes. When you get this bike running you will have a great machine. Good luck and have fun. I am sure you know there is a forum with lots of great info on these bikes. You are a handy guy.
Yes, I always wanted one of these. Ive owned many bikes. This is my 1st Venture Royale. They are new to me. I really like the smooth ride. My 79 and 84 goldwings didnt have half as many issues as this thing. These old ventures seem somewhat problematic, but I still like them. Yes Ive been all over the web sites and service manual for info. This was almost a basket case. alot of issues but I think Im getting close. if the pistons and rings are bad, I might quit. Thanks
