heeeeeeerrrrRRRRS THE PIX.

My Alt lasted... mmm, 140k miles B4 issues started. Charge the battery. Before pulling the Alt, use compressed air in the back of the Alt. start the bike, use a small hammer and tap the Alt & check the amp guage/light. Might break lose the brushes thus knowing it is the brushes. I did this and got 6...

Thanx for the reply, but after looking, I'm not sure where they are. Possible to send me a pic or 2?

I happen to have a bare frame, can get pix tomorrow.

My girl wanted the previous nights camping receipt, it was in my left pocket. I pulled it out & it billowed open and out of my hand. It floundered a couple times behind the windshield and I missed it every time. It caught wind and went rearward. Woops, GONE! .. .. so I thought. Several minutes later...

20% chance of rain means a free quick bike wash.

IF.. its the mounting screws/bolts they're slotless.
Dremel a slot for a screwdriver.
If not, a quick fix I use is 2 part epoxy under the head, first raising the head as high as possible. Future removal/replacement of bolts the epoxy is easily removed.

Congratulations! I won a raffle once - back in 1970. It was a drawing held by the US Selective Service and I was drawn as #8 ... won a 2-year tour with all expenses paid, starting in Jan 1971! I think my SS raffle was fixed. Number 287 and designated as 1H. Decades later found what 1H stood for. . .

I also am in gratitude for info here.
Thanks.

Donations?
PayPal "GIFT" it works for me.

Symptoms similar to my Alt dying, tho I don't have Cruise.
Jump charged it to ride home. Found it needed new brushes. $5.00 repair.

I use Liquid Wrench to get the bead slippery when mounting, maybe that's what's clumping, but again I use very little. Battlax's can be a bit ornery at times, I may have sprayed a little extra. I'll be changing it soon so I'll be looking on the inside what's going on. ===== FOLLOW UP ===== Removed ...

.. .. I'd be riding a 20 mile stretch of dual-carriageway to my work, come up behind an HGV (semi) thats doing 50mph, and I just didn't have the power to safely overtake!!! There would be cagers steaming past at 80mph, so I'd have to wait whilst patiently peering in my mirror for a massive gap to a...

Interesting pix.
I wonder if it's possible my bridging across the seam causes the covers to move and fall off via high frequency vibes & thumps?

I wish I could help you, all I can say is try what I tried, I just traced out the wires, tightened, crimped and checked every connection I could that would possibly relate to that circuitry. Hobo TO ANYONE... OLDER POST but I'm still looking for the solution. I believe this started around 175K mile...

2 Austones down, another to soon go on...in about 5k miles. I get about 80,000 miles from them. I do repack the splines around 40k. While back someone wrote, when in turns the Austone wanted the bike upright ASAP, couldn't get it off fast enough. WELL past few weeks I've been testing that post, its ...

Yup. Simple drill-out using a mortising bit & a little Dremel rheeming, it slipped right in.
IT'S FUN when you have more tools than needed.

Thanks again.

$5.00???
Last month I seen somewhere they were $6.95 + "expensive box" shipping.

I take it these covers only fit the 1500, as was reason for title change & relocation. I don't know the other Wings setups.

Some odd reason I keep losing the chrome Saddlebag screw covers/caps. OH, they are on tight, I even bend the 2 tabs so they are tighter, but walk(?) they do. So after buying 2 covers it got to the point, why keep spending money when I can make JUST FINE replacements from soda can bottoms. The CHROM...

In days of old, I made finger splints from plastic milk jugs. Propane torch & the mold was a broom stick. Other items? Assembled odd shapes with duct tape & used 2 or 3 layers of Jersey Gloves to hold it around the mold. Final tweeking was done with a quick spot melting. Sure the part was rough but ...

Few years back I added a couple wires to the left bar and like others had similar refitment issues.
What I did was Dremel out a little more space for these wires. Sloppy looking sure but unseen on the outside.
