((but I've been thinking there must be a better design for the crash bar that will provide enough clearance to also protect the upper corner of the fairing that always gets damaged in a tip over. The part of the guard that was scraped flat would not be necessary, just the part that bolts to the frame and supports the chin fairing mounts.)) Clive...I'm with you on this. Would like a better crash bar design as well.... david

To refresh memories: I had very little space between the fairing and the handlebars compared to others who had same handlebar setup with Baron's extensions. So I decided to do something about that. Tried putting spacers of various sorts between bars and fairing and that didn't work as they would disappear on rough roads. So took fairing apart again this morning....and put a lock washer and spacer on the two frame bolts that the inner fairing goes over...giving me about a 1/4 inch spacing off the frame at the bolt. Put everything back together and now have this... Nice improvement and solid. Gained more space than I expected and no issues putting everything back together. Then decided to install my Christmas present to myself. They are small for the price paid. But if they work as advertised, My legs will be happy next summer in the desert heat! Now I need to figure out why I can't get a Scorpion helmet in my travel trunk while others can...same year bike and helmet. Weird. But this is what makes riding and owning a scoot fun....figuring out the why's and whynots... Happy New Year to all and please.....BE SAFE!!! david

Lots of good memories, there!!! Thanks...

Thank you, Larry, for your words and thoughts. We do tend to get carried away in life and forget the most important things!! Wishing you a healthy and safe New Year!!

Thanks for the great write up! I have two cams...GoPro and JVC. Mounting issues with both. Agreed... The Ram mounts are good but vibration isn't. Thanks for info on windshield vibration... That was going to be next for me. Helmet mounting is next.... Don't like GoPro look on head either.... But want mic input as well. Waiting to hear/see your results! Oh.....B&H is a good group of people. Bought most of my broadcast video stuff from them over past twenty years... Never a complaint.

Just found this thread! A little slow down here in the desert... Well done... Enjoyed the pics!

James, Great find! We have to ride when I'm up in Phoenix! David

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to my extended family! Bless us all....said Tiny Tim

Merry Christmas to all...... Blessings for a safe and healthy New Year!!

PMJI, http://www.harborfreight.com/7-function-digital-multimeter-90899.html I think this is what the Pucster was referring to....

I was thinking...because it can....

I have same bulb... No issues so far

I don't know how the reflector is mounted but I would think if something is broken, a dab of epoxy should fix it. The connector worries me......why did it melt??? david

Two things come to mind. 1: Check for broken wires inside the wiring loom by the clutch. IE...wiggle the wires and see if the radio plays or not. Maybe using the clutch is moving the radio wiring somewhere causing a short or a wire to be loose. 2: The clutch handle also turns off the cruise control. So there may be some circuit somewhere that interfaces with the cruise/radio power or the signal circuit between the radio and amp circuits??? They may have a common junction point in the wiring harness. Weird...right? Find that and you will find a short somewhere. Does your cruise work? Thinking out loud here...[/color]

Congrats, Bill! I'm a couple years behind you but feel the same way. Love my 89! Now all I need to find is a monkey.... Grins!

Yikes! So sorry to see this happen! On the positive side...bigger and better comes to mind.... Glad all are well....

LOL! I know this is an older thread...but the responses are so good.....grins.

Smiling for you!

Yep...it is a lead acid battery so the proper charger will do the job on it....just gotta be careful with it.

Nanci, I'm beginning to have similar issues with my thumb joint...so am following this thread with eager eyes. And like Jonas, I still haven't got around to picking my bib design...sigh!!

I was thinking that bike will be going by so fast, no one will see the three spoke wheels...! Not sure about the seating position for my bod, though.

Me too. Just re-read the reviews on the Coronado Trail (Devils Highway). Since I've now ridden it from north to south, I can say it is a challenging ride! This spring, think we have to do this again...but from south to north. Whee!

Supposed to be 22 this morning, guess I got up to late at 7:15! We bit chilly for us. Another hard freeze for tonight as well. Glad I got the oranges off the tree yesterday! Good to see someone camping and fishing. Glad you had a good time Captain!

:sign yeah that:
