Thanks Mike. I was also thinking about going this route. Wondering if I need to solder the connection after it is crimped. It is a (stock) crimped connection rite now. Thinking... if I go this route I'll need to heat it up to get the original off. Or use it as the flat stock to sister (marry) the 2 ...

Hey CrystalPistol. Why wouldn't it work on your tester. Not enough rpms? My Rigid drill says 2100 rpms on it. I thought That might be too fast. (over revving)But we run our tacs 2000 to get a good reading. So I figured it is fine.

So. If the battery holds at 12.3.4 Not 12.6 Is it bad? (also) I think it's a combination of bad ground-battery and alternator. I got the new ground and hot wire. I will be gettin another AWM battery. and rebuilt LAtrical Alternator when it gets back from California. YES... I just noticed the ground ...

I fabricated a thing to spin the alternator for the bench test. I got a 2 x 3. a Hole saw. a Hurricane shutter anchor stud and my small bench grinder to grind the extra point of the screw that stuck out and then to grind the slug down to fit the inside the alternator to spin with the screw gun. When...

Thanks for your input Mike. When I quit drinking I had to distance myself from the crowd I was running with. So I'm on my own at least for now. I like the Idea of marrying flat stock to the ground lug. Straps are pretty cheap I'll be replacing it While I'm waiting on the new Alternator. When I got t...

Thanks Bruce. you must be reading my mind. I just fired up the computer to ask about how to do a bench test, and what direction I should spin it, once I fabricate something to spin it with my drill. LOL. I did put it back on the bike today and jumped the exciter to my extra accessory posts hot side ...

Thanks thebruce and charkiehorse. I think I might have tried Auto zone last time. They won't test it because it has no pully. I was thinking about making a rubber attachment to put on a screw gun before taking it to anyone.. Bruce It is easy to put back on and try to jump It to the Positive battery ...

Hey all. So I'm changing out my LAterical 95 amp Alternator AGAIN. I have a message out to LAterical to send me ANOTHER ONE. The first one lasted 3 years So it was out of warrantee. This one only lasted 9 months. So that being within the 1 year warrantee. Hopefully they won't give me a run around ge...

Yep.Thats why one of the covers is missing. I lost my charging ability the other day (again) Good news is.. This time I purchased the 3 year replacement plan (amazon) It's time to see if Lacterical will honor it. It seems to be getting real hot down there at the alternator.

There is a mount bracket that goes on the frame. other than that.. it has hose clamps and zip ties...THEY CAME WITH THE BIKe 5 YEARS AGO I didn't mount them but i did add zip ties..lol

a haaaaa....GOOD TO KNOW...Thanks AGAIN. I always cringe at the thought of removing the brake/clutch fluid reservoir's. I always go through my EXTENSIVE screw driver collection to TRY to find the best fitting PHILLIPS. because for some reason they always get damaged. I guess my extensive collection,...

my little horn compressor fit on the left side of the battery box (area) with zip ties. You can only get to that when the battery is out. I think that might have been a tool bag spot. I don't those tools. I have real sets.

When you get the tire off. Do yourself and your rim a favor. Take it to a bike shop and let them change it over. The rear tire is thick and really hard to get off and on the rim. I mangled my rim doing it. It's amazing it is holding the bead/air. I will never do it again. I will gladly pay someone $...

Yes. you need to take the hitch off. Just remember when you are removing the tire. Separate the wheel from the hub before dropping it down. Mine dropped down and got jammed stuck. I had a hell of a time getting it off. you have to pull it to the left to get it off the hub before there will be enough...

Yes Majickman. I still have those things. I just couldn't get myself to throw them away. I have a rice junkyard down here. But, when I originally bought that 1100 His Mechanic blew up the motor and he didn't own up to it. It ended up costing me $600 for 1/2 a different motor. So I will NOT be giving...

I landed in North Port in 1985. Moved down to the Keys (Islamorada Key) after Hurricane Andrew for 8 years.Now in Port Charlotte. Stay in Touch. I'll be here. I don't plan on moving all my stuff again. I will die in this house.lol

I need to ride up there so you can sinc my carbs. My guy said he could. still purs pretty good but they've never been the same. and when I get on it. I get a backfire when shifting. (before the exhaust leak)

UPDATE.. I got my side emblem on. Took some time getting the old dried out sticky tape off. (WD-40) Is always the answer to that dilemma (sticky glued stuff). Then alcohol to ungreased the WD-40..(DID NOT HURT THE PAINT) Thanks for helping me find it (cycle max) $35 IMG_20200510_193249115.jpg IMG_20...

IMG_20200511_081357595.jpg IMG_20200511_081537222.jpg I must have bounced/scratched my exhaust pipe. I have a small hole in it. It doesn't really bother me because I kind of like hearing it a little better. Is it a bad thing to not fix it? I think I remember years ago with car engines that it can b...

I didn't realize you replied. Yes it is a sit on top stereo console. I never used it, because it blocked my view. But it came with that faring package. Do You Want it? I've been protecting it for years. I'd like to get rid of all of it. But I've been waiting for someone that will actually be using t...

If you're interested in a low heat alternative, one can just use ABS primer and cement, applied to the inside of the panel to be repaired, to make a fairly durable bond. ABS cement is just ABS plastic held in liquid form by a quickly evaporating solvent, (acetone). You can utilize electrical tape t...

I was wondering why I got 2 notices on this 2 year old thread. Then I see a new question on it. I get it now. But I'm glad I checked them because I didn't know the LEGGO thing. GOOD TO KNOW for the future. Be Careful out there. Especially if you live in Florida Like Me. It's Gater Mating Season. ***...

I have these parts for a VETTER TOURING PACKAGE that I forgot to give to the guy that bought my GL1100. if anybody wants them. Let me know

Well You only see one side at a time, I'll just be happy to get that one back on. It probably WILL drive me nuts. lol
