I found a venture for my dad... an 86 w/ 32k miles. I've been doing a little work on it and while tearing it down for cleaning, I really like the look of it with the front faring (minus the windshield) and minus the rear center/top case. I did a little photoshopping and here is what I have so far... put a badlander seat or a lower profile seat, lower it a little and I think those ventures could be a pretty good looking bike. This picture isn't the actual bike, but just one I found to see what the bike could look like.
