Good work there, lots of good old elbow grease on your part too. Looking forward to seeing it done as I'm sure you are too. Larry

I've had a Stebel horn with no hose attached for 5 years and no problems with anything getting in there. It still works as good as the day it was installed, thou some of the "chrome" has faded and worn off. Larry

I know where you're going there since I too am restoring and sorting out minor problems getting my "new to me" 83 Standard back into tip top shape. Yesterday I replaced the thermostat and all of the "O" Rings between the pump and bypass valve. Still dealing with rear brakes but hopefully that'll be solved soon too. Am I hooked too? And I haven't even ridden this bike yet. No insurance or tags yet. I doubt I will do either till spring Larry

Be sure the steering bearings are checked as well. If the truck hit hard enough it may have dented a braring race. You can check that by lifting the front wheel off the ground and then turning the handlebars left and right while feeling for any rough dented spots. Gotta hate idiots like that thou. Larry

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing them. Larry

My condolences to you and your family as well. May your Dad rest in peace. Cherish those memories of him that you all had over the years. Larry

Any luck? There is a big Yamaha dealer located in Houghton. Maybe there's others closer. Larry

Happy Birthday Bob. Any new birthday is a good one. Keep em coming friend. Larry

I'd completely forgotten about building you a special adapter for the Pit Bull jack. I didn't record the changes I made for you so would you mind answering my pm to you so that any future customers with a Pit Bull jack can get the proper size adapter from me? Larry

83 Standard. Looking into cleaning up a rats nest of wiring and would like to have some input on whether I should eliminate the cb/intercom system. If I do I would add in a conventional am/fm radio in its place for those times the wife might want to hear some tunes. For me I'd never use either of them due to poor hearing. Considering the bike I thought keeping it simple would be the way to go. Thoughts pro & con are welcome. Larry

Post Retirement September Trip To Mt. Rushmore
Carbon_One replied to bongobobny's topic in Watering Hole
Bob you'll litterly be riding by my area going to your sisters. If your're hooking up with Jay I'll be there too.Have a safe trip. Larry -
I'd put connectors for any wiring going to the trunk/auxilary lights. And then put shrink tubing over that to keep water out. If you have to take it apart, all you need to do is cut the shrink tube off and then replace it when reassembling it later. Larry

Happy Birthday Patti. Hope you have a great day today. Larry BTW: you share this special day with my son as well. To be 39 again. Hahaha dreaming

Yep they're just north of the border near Vancouver I think. Somewhere not far from there anyhow. If I ever get up that way I intend to stop in at the factory and say Hi to Darlene and the crew there. Larry

Maybe add a side car to one of those relics Yammer. Ragtop just posted a link to one maybe not too far from you. Larry

You faired a lot better than a friend of mine did hitting a turkey. He hit a full grown big one and ended up going down on his Suzuki. He had all his gear on so other than a few bruises he was OK . Bike was another story but was repairable so the end result was ok. Larry
