    Hmm, guess I'll have to beat everyone in Indy to this one.... got a little track about 25 miles from me...... Dan

    Hope you can help. My factory radio (purchased and installed by me) has a mostly intermittent right speaker. I know it's the big blue connector for speaker output, as I can pull everything out, plug in the connector and it works. I tried shimming up the connector in the bucket to make a tighter connection when installed, but it's a crap shoot as to whether it works or not. Also, would like to make up a cable from CB to amp, got a factory cb without the harness. Or should I just go with a J&M? How much are they? Gettin' tired of yelling at these guys when we're on a ride! GREAT thread here guys, keep it going! Dan--- who is a Master Electrician but can't figure out those little circuits and gizmos!!!!

    So sorry to hear about your friends grand-daughter, Bob. Prayers for he and the family going out from us. Dan

    Heck Dan, I thought you already had them ground off! They must not know you too well! Dan

    You should be able to take the broken bolt to a good hardware (NOT Big Box) store and they can match it up for hardness and size. It should be exact same diameter so it fits snug back throught the mounting hole. If there is any play, the movement of the shock and links will eventually break the bolt again. Good luck, Dan Big Dude, just noticed you're down there by North Vernon, should be able to go to your local hardware guy and find it.

    Hey Earl, I got the easiest way for you to work with them. Real easy. Send them to me and I'll put them on my bike! Look at all that work I just saved ya! Honestly, I'm looking for a left side black grill, just found out my tabs were broke on that one. Dan

    I go up this way, then turn right for about 100 miles, then turn left and sweep up left for about 50 miles, then straight north for another 50 miles, turn right for about 20 miles, then turn left on Hawley and turn in at the second driveway! Skinny Squidley returns!

    And you were still being easy on it! Glad it was an easy fix. Now onto more important things, like, maybe riding! Dan

    Highway pegs

    Here's the set of standard 60 dollar pegs I put on mine. I'm 6'2 with a 34 inseam and these are fine for me. Dan

    That's why I've got a vboost in the cabinet to go on the bike one of these days.......

    Possibly coming from the clutch push rod seal, you'll have to remove the slave to see in there. Have you cleaned the area yet so you can see any new oil coming out? This may help in diagnosing. It would be that or the shifter shaft. Only other place could be the neutral indicator switch. It's all in the same area up in there. Good luck, Dan

    I bet he just went down to the public library and used theirs!!!!

    Dave, use a long pair of needle nose pliers to get in there and install your caps. Use the same clip rings to hold them on. Works for me! Dan

    Hey Spyderguy, I'm just outside Indy on I-74, only about 10 miles south of 70 at Mt. Comfort Rd. exit. I ride and 84 with a Saddlemans Travelcade seat, plus I still have the factory seat for comparison. Wish I would have seen this earlier, could have hooked up with you this past weekend. Perhaps we can meet up next weekend. Send me a PM if you're interested. Whereabouts you at? Dan

    I feel your pain as well, laid my 15 year old German Shepard to rest last fall. Dan

    I've got the vboost already, just gotta get those pesky cams..... Dan

    If you rode a 1st gen, he wouldn't be able to clock you at all! I'm just sayin'!!! LOL Dan

    As far as I know, it's been running fine since about a week after that. I believe one of the knuckles was stuck.
  21. Dano
    That was great, thanks for posting it! Dan

    Glad to hear you're OK, Carl. I've had the same happen to me with better results, as I happened to see the gentleman start to come over on me. I barely had time to announce with my air horn that I was there and take some action to avoid him. I even let him know I was displeased with a right boot kick to his front fender as I got away from him. I know, shouldn't have done that, but he was only a foot away and I mistakenly thought I could scoot him over! Good luck in getting her back together, hope you can ride to MD! Dan

    Hi Louich, sounds to me like the shifter shaft may be stuck as it goes thru the casing. Are you able to move it at all? How about rocking it back and forth with the motor off and the clutch released? Any action? Or is it that the gear indicator is not changing out of 1st, but the tranny is actually working OK? Dan

    Welcome to your new home, at least you have one of the best bikes on this site. We call the 83-85's MK1's (Mark 1) and the 86-93 MK2's both which are considered 1st gens. Those other bikes that some of these guys are riding we refer to as 2nd gens. They are slower, show their age faster, and are good bikes for the more "Gentile" riders on here! How many miles are on your bike? Do you know if the thrust washer and clips (2nd gear fix) have been replaced yet? There are several mods you can do to make your ride better, all listed under the tech section. Be sure, if you haven't already done it, to download the service manual also in the tech section. That way you can have ready access to a wealth (almost 1/2 of it correct!) of info right at your finger tips. Dan

    Sounds like a bike I'd be interested in if I had the extra dollars right now. Guess I'll just have to keep converting mine one step at a time.......:mo money: Dan
