Grey Green Orange White at Connector #20 for CB handle bar transceiver switch option. Just looked on wire chart.

Including it in the harness made sale & install of CB option on the Aspencade a easier deal.

Thanks!

Those four wires came from the CB radio switch.

Since the Aspencade did not come standard with a CB, so they either included them for both the SE and the Aspencade or they are for something else.

I temporarily hooked up my new Freeway Blaster (jumpers and wire nuts), gave it a quick toot and WOW...that sucker is loud. Woe is the driver I see creeping into my lane

As I am working on taking out an old OP auxiliary horn button, I took the bottom of the left-hand handlebar riser cover to remove the wire from the button and found 4 empty connectors. They are orange, green, white and gray (see attached photo). Anyone know right off hand what they are for? Thanks! ...

I thought they all had a piece of clear like thick tape there, like 3M paint protector stuff.

I think you are right, but some of them seem to wear off over time.

So, on the heatshields, since the charred parts were on the bottom edges of each piece, I decided to try and repaint them. I had a heck of a time trying to get the paint to match the existing (after 3 coats) and decided to leave them as they are for now. I even tried a sample piece of ABS and put 2 ...

I finally accepted that I was NEVER going to get where I hoped to be on this project a month ago. I found a trunk lid on Ebay that we reasonably priced and ordered it. It should be here on Thursday.

I, almost always, try to correct anything I find when I take things apart. Even though I didn't really have to, I took both of the heat shields off each side because they looked like there was some damage to the paint on the bottom edges. Boy was there :o On the front ones, basically, 3/4" of the bo...

MCrider has some really great videos for beginners to experienced. He also has a forum with a field guide to take to a parking lot and practice. I like McRider too, and support him via Patreon but Fast Eddie at Motojitsu.com has hundreds, if not thousands by now, videos and you can find so many gre...

Another "satisfied?" Saber Cycle customer? Not exactly satisfied, but they will fit my purpose...for now. I definitely have more places and space to install my highway pegs and LED lights! There was some chromed-over weld splatter on one of the welds. I had to drill out two of the three .362" holes...

That being the case, I guess I will just take one side off and if the dimensions are that far off I will return them. Well, the right side fit fine with no issues, but on the left side, I can't get any 2 holes out of the 3 to line up. Guess I'll have to either punch the holes out larger or do some ...

Oh, it'll fit your '99. (They all will fit between GL1500s).

Ordered it!

Good luck with those crap Saber Cycle guards...we've had other people here who bought those, and found they couldn't get them to fit, they were made so that one of the mounts was off by almost a whole inch (and of course, they'll tell you that it's your fault because you don't know what you're doin...

Yep, the F4 with a vent is great! Doubt I will ever buy anything different in the future

After literally months of trying to repair the cracks properly on my 99 Aspencade, I have accepted defeat and want to see if I can find a decent used one out there. The one I have has a part number 81123-MN5-3000, but I found one on Ebay that is part number 81125-MAM-6707C and the chart that pops up...

I found these, made by Add-On, on the Cyclemax website. https://www.cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/gl1500_engine_guards/79/1257 And these on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJBFHU0/?coliid=I37ZFRO3VLRL8M&colid=JINTQ66D8YJ6&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it And even these on Ebay with highway pegs installed ...

the group could stay tighter together and not out-range themselves Once the line of riders stretches out a few miles -- no hope to keep the tail with the lead . Staying tighter sounds like a good idea in general. Maybe a discussion with the entire group as we get started on our first day and reemph...

I like the loop ones because they offer better support for rider cruise boards and a place for my air horns to mount.cruise & horns.jpg

Yep, that exactly why I want them. I have had a heck of a time getting my added LEDs and highway pegs mounted!

I measured the gap between 1" bar and the valve covers. The right side was .235" and the left side was .416" measuring as far back as I could on each. The gap on the front of each was only a few thousandths different. I think I will just get a set of the old style from Amazon and if they won't work ...

This is the first tool review I have done, but I just had to mention this powerful little clamp. It is the strongest clamp of its size and type that I have ever seen! It is the only one like it that I will buy in the future, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0037JCJ9Q/?coliid=I258YWEL3I7RZH&colid=1TZP4OCPO...

You should look at an air brush. Maybe some youtube videos on blending clearcoat. The more trial and error times I try to fix what I have, the more this makes sense. I did also try another thing that somewhat surprised me with the results. After I used MEK to take out the wrinkled paint, I put down...

I would like to know the answer to your question as well. I sure would like to put them on my old girl!

I bought my current Wing from a guy on Craigslist and since it looked much nicer than the old 88 that I had sold, I mistakenly assumed that anything I saw on the outside was the extent of any issues the bike had. Yes, it ran fine but what I was to soon find out that almost anything that I took apart...

You cannot hand brush 3 stage paints. And most 2 stage metals, pearls and micas. You should look at an air brush. Maybe some youtube videos on blending clearcoat. Also look into Assilex sanding products. When I do clear blends, I prep the blend area with their 1500 grit product, code named Peach. Y...

For Viking. I found this very informative on diesel oil in motorcycles. https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oil.html

Great info! Thanks for sharing it!
