    83 1200t cdi

    Okay. So this is what I know... I stopped in on Friday or Thursday to find out when I might be coming up in the list and while we were visiting I don't know if he has actually looked at it or has been thinking about it. His quote to me was, " I'm thinking it's the TCI unit. How bet you when I get down there and disconnect it we get rid of the open ground that shorting everything else out." He said he's on it for sure this week. I told him, "Look, I have my work and I have this bike. I really neeeeeed this bike!"

    I really appreciate this help sniper. I have no idea yet if that's what he's going to find out this is. I'm still at the mercy of what he tells me. I can hang parts and replace things but I'm not a motorcycle mechanic that's for sure! Pretty sure they won't be working tomorrow or Tuesday so I'll be back as soon as I know something more than that you guys are Simply Amazing

    You will be better served with an aftermarket unit as there ain't no new factory ones to be found!! Ignitech makes a programmable one that works very well for many of us. There is also another manufacturer that makes one that has its own built in response curve for spark advance when accelerating.

     

    Keep in mind that the '83 TCI is entirely different from the '84 thru '89 units as far as the vacuum advance, they are 180 degrees out of phase from the other years due to where they take the vacuum information from for the boost sensor. You can, however, use an '84 through '89 if you replumb the vacuum to the boost sensor from the carbs to manifold vacuum, which is in exact opposites from each other, the reason why the advance is 180 degrees out of phase with the following years...

     

    Buying a used unit off of eBay is a crap shoot as even though they may work, it doers not mean they work 100% right! Some of them can cause a misfire at higher rpms...

     

    Ok, this leads me to a question. Would you replumb for greater availability of the 84-89 in the future? It's a 35,000 mile Gen 1.

    The new slipstream windshield arrived. I know I saw a link about plastic repair I thought I saved it I can't find it anywhere. Someone have that link handy? Also , can anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't use white Flex Seal to spray the inside of my headlight mount for more light?

    I'm a, "sure it ain't pretty but it does exactly what need it to do." kinda guy. The tub inside my left side has been modified at least 3 times. It's little more than a frame at this point. Been scrubbing plastic parts while the bike is with a mechanic. Lots of cracks to mend. I'm starting wonder if I can turn my Bluetooth up over the rattling that all that plastic must make?

    When out touring I use a tank bag for easy access to certain things (wallet, food). I have RAM mounts on the clutch & brake levers where I run the GPS & Phones but you can just as easily add a cup holder to the ram mounts.

    I guess I don't know what a RAM mount is

    A while back I was riding an 80 Goldwing with a Windjammer on it. One of the things that I really loved about the Jammer was that you could access pockets on fly and I was able to mount my phone over the gas cap cover. I don't see how to get access 2 pocket of say a cigar or pack of cigarettes or where do you mount the phone so you can see it or GPS and pick music? Where do you put a piece of candy or something that you can get to without parking first?
