Hi Ben,
Looks like a reasonable facsimile of a Venturer in Macho Maroon

Thankyou Mike..I appreciate your comments...I do not have the lowers . I do love the look of the completed pkg with the lowers,but from what i have been hearing they really do not add anything to the overall weather protection the fairing itself already provides..in fact i have heard they detract from the bike in real crosswinds...so i have mixed opinions on adding them...at this point i am not...i did ride through a few mins of a moderately heavy rain and i didnt get wet at all ...Originally posted by MPittma100 View Post

As you can see this is not a true replication of the Venturer...Kurt does not do pinstriping ...and in all the years i have been alive i have never ever cared for pinstiping...i used to pull it off my cars .And the tuning fork logos just look better than the original YAMAHA badges.. So it may not be 100% true to form ..I am more than happy with it...I have real wind and rain protection that i never had with the Plexisttar 2..so folks This is a huge win!!!Last edited by madmax-im; 08-28-2016, 08:46 PM.1980 XS650G Special-Two

Wow, happy birthday to you!
Do the new blue lights come on with the key like the tail and running lights or are they wired into the instrument lights and come on with the headlight after the engine starts?-- Scott

Ben,
Your bike looks really nice! Very "refreshed" ...
Glad it turned out the way you wanted!
Kurt did a wonderful job, and it's easy to see that you're very pleased with the results.
A word of caution, though ...
Now that you've been given a little taste of ...
Be extra careful, or the desire for bling may consume you!
