    When I had my first gen it came with a big tall wide windshield. I hated it. I traded with a member at Potato Creek for a smaller one and was able to look over it. For me that was great. The wind did increase a little but I liked that as well.

    I would check/replace your spark plugs and wires first. If they are original they could be the problem. Easiest job first. The controller or tci/cdi is located under the battery box. If you can remove it and check those connections and clean em up that might make it right. It is a flatish rectangular box. They are expensive to buy if you can find one and ebay ones are risky. And the 83 is a box of its own, no other year will work if memory serves me right. Some also remove the box and dry it. They do get damp over the years and corroded. Once cleaned up some have mounted it on top of the air filter I believe. The coil for that cylinder could be shot too.

    That looks bright and should get the attention of those behind ya! Very nice.

    You should hear what it sounds like with headsets on! I do know that it blasted out the horns as well.....cause the lady that was coming to visit my lane (with me beside her) sure stopped and turned just enough for me to miss her when I blasted! Ft.Collins close call.

    I really doubt I will get this on before I leave. I am workng nights tonight and tomorrow then off we go. I will bring it with me and let you play with it Brad! Maybe tomorrow I can try and put it on...still waiting for the last bit of paper for my trailer. If that comes, then priority will be getting that licensed.

    I also loose fitted it to the back of my Piggybacker and it looks good there too! Maybe I will order another one for good measure. But, not now, and I dont know how long the deal is for.

    This item just came this evening. No extra charges for me this time coming across the border! Looks good, it will fit the trunk with the rack on it (2nd gen). Black is a very close match. Feels kinda cheap but then ya gotta remember it is only plastic. The cable is not the longest but should be doable. This does look good just holding it in position. There are no instructions on wiring or mounting so I have to figure that out. It may not get done in time for the trip....I will take it with me for folks to look at. For the price....I believe it is a good compromise to the way more expensive Yamaha spoiler.

    mawonline.com is the cheapest and yes they are much better.

    Its used mostly in cages. It is slicker....therefore more conserving I guess. Plays havock on bike wet clutches.
  12. sarges46
    You're not by any chance using "energy conserving" oil are you? Cant use that stuff as it causes clutches to slip.

    What about the connections at the blinker thingy....dang I cant think of the name! Horn.....fuse too weak and blowing all the time? Pun not intended!..."I know these rascals too":rotf:
  16. sarges46
    Hmmm.....sold it for 18500!:rotf: Ya right...honestly just havent done it yet.
  17. sarges46
    Ok, I'll bite, just ordered one...lets see what it looks like. Report later when it comes.

    I could have a look up here for ya if you wish. Lets make that....I will have a look up here.....this seems to be a problem for our folks south...maybe our stores still have em. You could change the whole fuse box to the new style stab fuses. There is some tech stuff on that I believe.

    It could be nothing that a resolder job on the puter in the display wont fix. Thats all I can think of at this hour! Sorry. Maybe a sensor inside is not going up with the oil level?

    And if you drop one of those nuts they go right to the middle of the engine and are lost forever! I am now riding with no.....er......nuts holding my seat and that is no problem! Now get the laughing done with folks!

    Sounds like the front headset plug in.
  22. sarges46
    Which is not bad ifin ya had to make a sharp left turn!

    They sound like the same size...I just quickly measured with the cooler still on it and my eyes might not have seen exactly. My cooler is fairly small and fits with room for a bigger one...which I will check to see if one our other ones will fit.
  24. sarges46
    Jack What are the dimensions of the rack for yours...mine is 14 1/4" wide and 21 1/2" long on the xl piggybacker. Thats inside measurements.
