    Ok all you electrical genius types. I am somewhat stumped here. I know how to test the stator using the AC voltage test and it seems to be fine. Is there a way to test the Regulator? I have an 84 VR. Is there a way to retrofit a MKII regulator? The plug has more wires in it than the 84. When I parked the bike for the winter it was charging fine. Over the winter I added a couple of relays (for horn and highway lights). A chrome bumper converted to LEDs and a 12v receptacle. So I'm wondering if I did something wrong but was very carefull with these installations. I soldered and heat shrank every joint etc. Is there a way to test for excessive drain while running? I had a "rebuilt Stator" that I got off eBay a couple of years ago and installed it. That didn't solve the problem. But it may not be a good one either. Any ideas?? Wayne

    hmmmm.. I'd need to make room to stand in so I could take a picture. My scoot was at MarCarl's for the winter and when I was ready to bring it home it took a day or so to make room for it. I have a very small 1 car garage full of RC airplanes and computer paraphernalia as well as a few tools. Robin (my wife) says it has lots of JUNK!! Wayne

    Bob: I changed the regulator but that didn't solve the problem. Carl is helping me Change the Stator tomorrow night. I have a spare rebuilt one so ordered the gaskets and hope they are in tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on the outcome. Wayne

    I have the opportunity to ride a few GL1200's every summer. I'm on an 84 VR and some of my friends are riding the GLs. I like my VR much better than the GL. It is like compairing the ride and handeling between a Cadillac and a Jaguar. The VR feels like a sport touring bike. Since mine is an 84 they have more storage capacity than I do but the 86 and up VR has more as well. Wayne

    Thanks Earl: That is what I needed to know. I believe about 6 months ago JC Whitney sold the last lighted one they had and those are no longer available. Wayne

    I hope someone out there can tell me this. Will the trunk reflector from an 86 up 1st Gen fit an 85 trunk? They LOOK the same. Wayne

    Great pics Craig: Taters.. That "shorter than you" person would be my wife Robin. She isn't on the site because she isn't very computer savvy. She does love to ride though and comes to every event we can make it to. Great times.. I really enjoy meeting people and putting faces to names etc. Bob you did good. Great food and easy to get to. Lots of room for parking. Good turn out. Am hoping to see more Americans at these events soon. The only glitch I had was following MarCarl while he argued with his GPS and we took a short tour of Western New York. LOL Wayne

    I have the passenger boards and exhaust from and 88 on my 84. The floorboards fit but you will still have to make a bracket or hanger for the exhaust. Bongobob helped me make aluminum brackets for mine. It was easy and works like a charm. Without the floorboards I think a longer bolt will do the trick. Wayne

    Hey Craig: Was good meeting you today. Looking forward to doing that again. You should come up to Carl's for the 23rd. I cannot find your pics and would love to see them. Wayne

    Thanks Bob: That should make it a bit easier to find one.. Wayne

    I have an 85 trunk that I want to put on my 84. I have the trunk and the bracket that holds it but I'm missing the bar that holds the antenna. Does anyone have one that will fit they'd be willing to part with? I was wondering if the Mk2 would be the same. 84 is shorter so won't reach past the edge of the trunk and is not attached the same way. Wayne

    That's seems ok except for the 45MPH max towing speed. I don't know if the 2nd gens can get up to that...

    Congratulations Gary and Mary.. This is AWESOME news. Really looking forward to meeting you Mary. Gary has mentioned that you like riding. This is also good news. May the Lord make this union very special. Wayne

    I have a hitch here for a MKII. I had purchased it for my 84 and won't fit but will fit yours. It is a Markland and in pretty good shape. Wayne

    I'd like to get 2. Then I have to find someone local to sew them on jackets... hmmm

    I believe almost any truck stop will have chrome centre caps that fit the 8" trailer wheels. The look exactly like the baby moons but there are a few other choices as well. Wayne

    Yep.. They sure don't look as pretty all torn down. Last winter both Marcarl and I had ours down to no plastic. Marcarl had his engine out as well. Looked pretty scary..
