    Thanks for the correction Phil, I didn't know that about alarm switches. So then he needs a normally open magnet switch? Dan

    You STILL suffering from that day cold, Peg? I could have sworn a couple of months ago you were gonna get sick tomorrow and have to go to the doc's up in Oberlin (you know that socialized medicine, you can't go to your own doc whos close!). So we're not gonna see you this year? Dan

    That's all I use in mine, works great and is cost-effective.

    I'll be coming from the opposite way Bob, but have a safe ride and we'll see you there! Dan

    You want it to be a normally closed switch, so the contacts are made when you remove the magnet, and open when the magnet is attached. Run the + wire thru the switch, and they should work. No, you don't need that shim. Dan

    Got some pics there? Only 2 types of switches, Normally Open and Normally Closed. The description is of a switch in it's normal position with the contacts either open or closed. You need a Normally Closed momentary contact switch for the trunk lid. Sounds like you might have a maintained contact switch. Try pushing the button and hear if it clicks. If it does, it's probably maintained. Here's a pic of one like you need. Dan

    Welcome to the country Jonas! Glad you finally made it and look forward to meeting you this weekend. Dan

    That looks like the same thing I have in my cabinet except I don't have the actuating solenoid and the electronics that control it. Some modifications need to be done to the bike in order for it to fit, it raises the carbs about an inch. My personal opinion, a little stout on the price, I paid a hundred bucks for mine, but then again, didn't get the other stuff with it. I'm just going to use a manual control Dan

    The struggle will be worth it in the end, and you will know and have confidence in every part on there. Did the same last year, you will have your ups and downs but keep at it! Dan

    Yeah Peg, no one here is watching any of this! Dan

    Only take one wrap around, try to get the ends as close together as possible. maybe just a tad bigger than the pipe, as the clamp will compress the copper as it tightens. The original gaskets are what we call "sacrificial", meaning they will decompose in the presence of the corrosive exhaust gasses over time. Mileage is a part of it, but so is age. Give it a try and see what happens. Dan

    Look on 2nd page, "Improving gas Mileage" by 5bikes.

    These are just the diaphragms themselves, not the whole complete unit. Most of the time you can just replace the diaphragms unless the tubes themselves are damaged. Also while you have them out, do a search for the 5bikes mod, which involves removing the white plastic washer on the needle and replacing it with a couple SS washers to improve your gas mileage and running.

    Oberlin, hopefully not too close to Stardbogs room! Dan

    Wow George, if he does all that, he'll never get to ride this summer! LOL Dan

    If you're coming across 70, we'll be leaving Indy around 10 or 11 on Friday morning, not sure if we're taking 36 across or going the freeway route yet. 6 or 7 hours by the way of 36, or 5 or 6 going freeway. Dan

    If you have a thinning gasket, wrap a piece of solid #14 copper wire around the pipe with the gasket. If it's shot, pull it off, make a new one out of solid #10 copper wire and re-install. Might have to snug them up a couple times, as the wire will soften and mold itself to the shape of the clamp after a few heat soak sessions. I've got a couple of new ones left from my rebuild, probably worth their weight in gold now, as I think I only paid about 10 bucks each for them. Dan

    Need to remember that store and then not bid on anything when it comes up on flea-bay.........

    Sounds to me like you might have a blockage in the coolant stream; or for some reason, the flow at higher rpms might be collapsing a hose. If it heats up that quickly, the coolant definately isn't flowing.

    Next time we get together, I'll have the wife turn around and take some pics of you guys as we're pulling away from ya!

    That's a good looking bike Raiki, and you will certainly be able to outrun and outride that Goldwing! That's the reason these bikes were built in the first place! Have fun with your trip, make sure to post your pictures up here so we can see. We love to see the different countries from a riders view. Like your house, too! Dan
  23. Dano
    That's why we're here!
  24. Dano
    He IS working!

    Color of the bike and those shoulders of the driver sure look familiar!
