the one on this bike we bought at auction is toast. it sat for 30 yrs, after the dealership closed, and I bet it was a trade-in back then because of this failure. The rubber boot was ripped, and when he pulled it back to look inside, large metal pieces fell out.

Everything else has just been the usual issues, caused from sitting...rusty tank, rotten rubber, old fluids. Hooked it up to a battery source, and all the gauges powered, lights lit, horn honked, etc.
Thanks!
