Drill a lot of small "Speed Holes" in the shield to let air filter calmly through to you?
Joking of course.

I don't have a cable lube tool, still was able to get it done. Removed the cables barrel ends and shoved the red straw, that comes with the spray can lube , into the cable. Ya it leaked a little but wrapping the cable & straw tightly with a little saran wrap slowed the leak. Also wrapped a rag aroun...

I also am looking for a Progressive replacement. TheBruce, if you think on it a little both shocks are pushing up reasonably equally unless the air pressure is ZERO or at full pressure. There is some unequal spring action but the swing-arm is rather stout as are the swing-arm bearings. The umteen mi...

1970s Honda 500-4 I made a thick acrylic windshield, stove softened it for the curve and mounted to the handlebars. Out on a night ride doing 50-ish and this crow decides my headlight needed attacking. No idea how fast he was cruising but he swooped up at the last moment and banged off the shield. S...

WOAH.. cobra in the tail light. Catches it then takes it next door and cooks it up. 'Cobra Dogs'

What CV-19? OH, that one. Road right though it like it never happened. :mrgreen: Only difference was had to bring a picnic lunch. Did a road side pic-nic table or out in some short grassy field. One time in a self serve car wash bay to get out of a passing shower otherwise we just packed on the 'mil...

3 or 4 years ago the clutch slave cylinder leaked out all the fluid, mama was with. She said is it tow truck time? NOPE, I got this. Motor at idle, duck walked it as fast as I could and dropped it in 1st gear... chug'a chug'a veroooom. we're movin. 25 miles from home took mostly expressway and back ...

To jump from $15 to $25 in just less than 6 weeks... looks like a little gouging going on.
I don't need these belts or idlers, I keep wearable's in stock.

I keep an eye on some items, never know when one needs 'X'.
Speaking of "stock", out gassing stuff (Eg: rubber) I double or triple bag.

Near "Price Gouging"?
Glad I bought 2 at the lower price for my stock.

Just be sure using a block of wood it doesn't have a nail, or other pointy thing, sticking out.

Cavemen seem to have gotten along without rules for their 'Clubs'.

Wood is used by most. Just saying, be sure the wood isn't touching any plastic. With wood on jack I've lifted the bike off it's center stand, rear tire still on the floor, it's strong enough but NOT preferable. BTW: Since I work alone I have the handlebars roped to the garage rafters, JUST IN CASE i...

OOOooohhhh, I didn't see the STACK of numbers.
Will look into it.
THANKS!

Yup, looked there first and checked other years.
46 BAG, SADDLEBAG (INNER) 81365-MAM-A80 Unavailable

I did try three different silicones all set too stiff.
I'm currently looking at a foam tube with a single spike.

I might give this a try, just bridge over the slot.

Now that OEM seals for the saddlebags are nonexistent has anyone found a suitable aftermarket replacement?
I've done the GOOGLE pictures rubber & foam seal profile search but they're either too small or way to big but in all basics they don't seem to be the right shape.

I've been riding all year for the 8 last years. The seldom used push button switches work but you have to push them R-E-A-L-L-Y S-L-O-W (like 2 full seconds slow each way) in and out. Apparently there's cold thicker grease in it somewhere where the cleaners and lubes cannot reach. For me the 4-ways ...

Does the 94' GL1500SE have steering stem bearing seals? If so, do they need to be replaced after re-packing the bearings? If they do need to be replaced. what are the seal PN's ? pc This should help ya. SEAL? I replace IF they're cut or torn. Lower bearing grease tells me how much dirt gets past th...

Thanks FM-USA. Would you be able to post a picture of that tool you made? I plan to use the tool only for accessing and retorqueing the steering head bearings, so I don't believe that it would need to tough enough to use an impact gun on. I don't plan to use an impact gun on that. Thanks. I don't u...

When grinding down and making your own tool from the 36 mm socket, would it be OK to use a regular socket (not impact)? I would guess that it would be less money. This is even lesser $$ .. .. :P Regular chrome socket is fine. Impact wall is thicker which fits the nut better. I used an 1-1/4" gas pi...

Hmmm.. I wonder how as your post was the first after 2009 date last post showing. I just went into my profile's settings. SOMEHOW the following got changed...

Dragging up a 10 year old post??? It's in the most INACCESSIBLE place on the bike. :evil: :evil: + :evil: Remove a radiator or the Carbs. Definitely some engineer forgot their coffee in the morning and a CEO must have been sleeping. There is room for a 90 degree elbow (either east/west direction).....

Hi FM-USA, Thanks for the tip. I'll lube the housing's. Happy New Year everyone, ezryder Few years ago, I did an extensive search for lowest & highest temperature grease. I found the (green) Silicone Caliper Grease works at -40 to +400 F-degrees. By mixing the grease with silicone spray you can adj...

While your IN that H-light housing, lube the hinge points.
Once in a while my adjustment takes a bump or 2 to set it.
