So glad to find someone doing work to a venture. Have an 06 with 160000 kms. Had in every province except NL and alaska to cali. Looking forward to more videos. Wish i had ur talent
Better late than never. Oh, the lovely mikuni carb "won't run after rebuild" issue! I have been down this road many many many times. These mikuni carbs are so simple too. Mine, and maybe yours, has a screw that sits on top of the needle jet circuit, inside the fuel bowl. Big brass sucker. It threads into a D shaped passage. But a teeny little pin is needed to hold the D shape in position. What happens is when you take the carbs apart, the pin falls out or backs out JUST enough so when you tighten that screw later, it spins the nozzle a fraction of a millimeter out of position. Had the same issue on 2 different sets of carbs. Now that I watch those pins, never had the drama again.
@@myfavoritecolorisrage tha k ypu for the info! I did eventually find that when I was working on a friend's venture like a year later and was smacking myself over it 😆 I did get mine running and put about 17k miles on the bike before I got my victory a few months back
I put a stratoliner 18 inch 130 front wheel on my bike, made the handling a lot easier. The cheaper fix is to put a 130 tire up front. I have a 2008 and love it. Also add a Barnett clutch and pressure plate, bike runs amazingly well. Yours is a beautiful bike. I named mine Beaut. BTW, you are freakin amazing, that carb rebuild build was epic.
I bought a 2005 royal star tour deluxe this morning. with 27000 miles on it. I am upgrading my 1997 royal star with over 80000 miles on it. I hope you enjoy the bike.
Last time I made a comment my bike was running. Took it back cause of the same problem, they were pissed and over tightened all the nuts, bolts can't get them loose .may have to cut them off. This is the way most people make money in Texas, by ripping you off. karma, Power sports Austin

@shuttersplainin8728 thanks I had figured it out but I still appreciate the response
Good job !@!!!!!
I have a 05 Yamaha Royal Star Touring Delux 1300.I love her and her name is Burtha😅
@@jeffcox2645 love the name! It's very fitting for how big these are!
Get the dynatek 3000 you will feel the difference
cool name!
Nice work. Carbs kinda spook me, I know I could foul it up🤔😁🤬😞
They are less intimidating than some other things...its really not too terrible once you get the hang of it
looking at one for sale here locally....this bike might actually be big enough for me. other cruisers feel small to me. seriously....

Try getting some leverage by using a longer bar tool and spray with pb blaster about 10 minutes before onto the bolts the best you can
Bike is beautiful. Don’t paint her.
Her paint is chipping off so it's gonna have to be done eventually
