I have several electrical meters & testers.
My post was for those who don't have said equipment and how to check the system in a minimalistic manor.

"Of course, I got the don't you dare stare." Sooo...you got 'THE LOOK' huh. :D I got THE LOOK (and verbal disdain) also the first & only time I mentioned to a yard sale woman I was needing garage rags. Can you imagine if we were still in the Wild Wild West? Shot at the mere mention of rags. :shock:...

Must be going round, MINE ALSO 3 weeks ago. CLICK... no lights, wait... click then nothing. Shorted across the battery posts, very weak spark. So I got a jump and let the car charge the bike battery for 5 minutes. It started right up and road it home. Amp meter showed 14.3 so Alt was good. At home p...

1991 1500, same here it LOOKS like it's 1/3 tooth off.

It's the tires Dead End near the center-line tread design.
Air goes in and out with a POP. Much like exhaust valves closing.
Ride on some micro-grooved roads and the noise is gone.
Eventually you'll get used to it.

THAT WIRING, OY VIE!!!
5th grade you say?
That grade I say NAY,
more like 3rd, all day!

Word to DIY'fers on Ceramic Beads. The large bag of low cost beads are random in size. ONLY the smallest of bead will make the 90 degree turn in the stems. Small pain separating out the little ones. I don't have a screen to screen out the larger beads so needle nose pliers AND PATIENCE :shock: is t...

Car tires up front were used in the late 40s thru early 60s on HD's and Injuns. That's a lot of extra centrifugal weight to be turning with mere handlebars. That fad waned, thankfully. Being a rear motorcycle tire, they have considerably more thread depth which equates to more miles . The guys that ...

Being an X-Painter I have several white T-Shirts. Makes great hole covers where them Long Legged Screws love to run and hide. Old dish & bath towels, bed sheets, table cloth covers work well also. JUST suggesting. ;) Garage & Yard sales usually sell used towel & bed stuff REALLY cheap. BUT!!! don't ...

Trailer was on bike. Found a 30 amp fuse blown under the seat everything works now just have to figure out why the fuse went Accidental short while wiring the trailer wires. Fuse was weak & ready to go. Any extra load, it's a gonner. SUGGESTION: IF you don't have a Amp meter... put a 25 Amp fuse in...

My Wing is Beige, it blends in most backgrounds, especially concrete. :shock: I'm kicking around the idea of a vinyl wrap. Now & then I'll wear Mossy Oak shirt and/or pants, so why not go the full boat and do up the bike & trailer. If there's a minor tear the paints base color of Beige has that pret...

Your immigration laws consider us Australians (and other nationalities), as aliens, - so watch out or we will come and get you and mix you in with the algae!!!!!

REALLY!?
We got Guido. Who you got, Crock Dundee?

First, we should NEVER use human food as a vehicle fuel especially when algae is still being produced in our oceans. Algae farms speed up this production and takes up zero land real estate. Progress is constantly being made to speed up algae growth. Besides all that, algae farms is a new industry fo...

20% chance? Heck even at 50% chance I'll still ride, tho I'll look at the current radar and plan a route around it. Of course I'll check that my rain gear is aboard. I also have in the trunk 'side tucked' 3 compact umbrellas from Goodwill $2 each. Price is toss-able & donate-able. ;) . .

We have found that extra bunge straps and cargo net have come in very handy. OH, SO TRUE. 1/2 dozen 30" B-Cords & now a small jar of mini b-cords. The smaller one's I seem to give away more than I use when someone is in need. I have 2 small & 1 larger stretch nets on the bike almost all the time. T...

Eagerly awaiting your pics. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks

Took a look at the parts today... NOT gonna happen.
All the 'Online measuring' before ordering parts was fruitless.
Still wasn't enough room behind to clear the valve cover.

DANG they looked good.

3/4" or 19mm DEEP socket with 3 inch extension.
A 2 ft. pipe that fits snug on the ratchet handle. Pipe is lighter than solid steel breaker bar.
I kept a hydraulic jacks 2 piece slip handle (1 inside the other), such a space saver.

All the way down is 1st. Neutral is 1/2 up from 1st, 1/2 down from 2nd. Up for 2 3 4 5. If the oil was old, thick, dark, dirty, add some SeaFoam to the oil before changing it. Read directions for how much. The 'shift drum' might be gunked up. After 225K miles mine was & SeaFoam worked well. . .

Our Bailey is standard size Beagle with longer legs and he barely fits on the passenger seat. I have his leash SLIP TIED to the trunk rack. Just tight enough so he knows he can't move too far but in case we go down it will slip out. When he turns he bumps my back. I also use two 5 ft rods that I bun...

Might be a challenge on these heads...

I've gone through a few different designs. Most will not clamp tight enough onto the engine guard and start slipping. Only solution is once your sasyfied drill a hole and insert a screw. This sux when selling the bike, that hole looks terrrrrable. There's one that clamps onto both top & bottom bars ...

Thanks, everyone. I found a mechanic nearby who has given me great confidence, even if we have to pull the engine.

Where are you located?
And where is this CONFIDENCE mechanic? Or is that CONFIDENTIAL?

I KNOW... i know, we're all at fault once in a while.
Gas cap on crooked?

The PHONE needs to be filled in.
Then (oddly) scroll up to SEND EMAIL.
