Ah, guess Honda got smarter

Honda Service Manual has a listing for different bolt sizes as a general torque value. Find the bolt size and use that torque value.

J&M sells an inline volume control lower cord. Is that what you're referring to?

No, the FI bikes use a different controller

Under the trunk.......

Best wishes for you in the future. Don't be a stranger here.....

These are not Dunham brand, they are Duham gloves by KEMIMOTO.

They are called Secondary Air Supply Tube, presuming emission stuff.

My 1200 had been sitting for a while, I'd been doing a lot of going through (including timing belts). When I first got it going the tensioner was chirping (that's what I'd call it) and that was audible at idle. Since I thought they might have gone bad (wasn't doing it before), I ordered them and con...

Does the sound seem to come from the timing belt cover area?

Depending on the battery failure, I've had them drag a good battery down (voltage wise) where it can't be jumped. Take battery and get it load tested, it's a definitive answer!

Correct, no easy way....I'd remove the heat shield

You've described exactly what mine did last year. After hours chasing my tail, I took the battery out and it failed the load test. New battery and Bob's your uncle (fixed)....

If your weight and friend(s) can't make it work, I'd go searching for the fork cap tool. I think Motion Pro makes a tool for this operation, might check with them.

Somewhere I read about a liquid that can be applied to the wires where the insulation has been compromised. I can't elaborate more since I don't remember where I read it. Maybe google?

Your welcome.......!

The timing belts should be changed if their age is unknown, especially if it's been setting for a while.

Check for play in u-joint and check the wheel and drive splines.

For the rusty chrome, try water and crumpled aluminium foil rubbed on it, or try Evapo-rust.

The striping will be a hit or miss of finding, just lots of searching world wide. I've thought on mine if you could make them, but may be in over my head on that idea

Try this place?

SNIP Was absolutely not planning on swapping the pipes unless absolutely necessary. I really like how it sounds throughout the power band. I'm assuming there's a carburetor rebuild kit available? Also assuming that's in the DIY section for the 1100s? I'll check on jpcycles.com and look when I'm don...

Sounds like a bad battery, take it and get it load tested. That will confirm or deny battery condition.

I've read of others buying Harley mufflers for cheap and them working, might try a search for that?

Apply anti-seize to the exhaust nuts and bolts.
