    The rotor I listed above has been sold........

    Yeah, I'd suggest replacing the kill switch too. It's worn and probably only making very lite contact. Any pressure at all and the contact is lost. However.... before doing the replacement spray some contact cleaner in there and toggle the switch back and forth a bunch. It may just be dirty..?? On the charging issue. I don't know of any wiring close to the shift spline coming out of the stator cover. That hole is seperate from anything on the inside of the stator. There is a neutral switch on the inside that does have a grond to it, but I don't think that would have anything to do with the charging circutry???

    A lot of people don't know that they are dealing with ABS. I use ABS Weld and glass roving. Same result, but not nearly as messy... And.... All ABS cracks eventually...

    Maybe in WV it's considered a motorcycle, but here in CA, although it's considered a MC the rider doesn't need to have an MC indorsement to legally ride. I'm sure each state's VC's are different, and probably 60 interpretations for all 50 states....

    Rocket called last night, and after we stopped BS'ing I went outside and was treated to a lightening display like I've never seen in these parts for close to 40 years.. It constantly thundered for over a half hour. I know in the midwest this is probably a drop in the bucket, but around here it's non-existant... until last night. We generally get one cold storm the first part of June and it dumps 6" to a foot on snow in the Sierras, but this one was warm and came right out of the south. Amazing stuff for a California Boy....

    I yam...I yam.... and it is a PITA like Bob said. But I'm getting there...

    Tanks guys... that's what I needed to know.......

    Since I'm too lazy to go out and check myself I thought I'd pop the question. When removing the rear upper frame assembly, do I need to worry about it being a part of the support holding the frame together, and will it make things go very bad...very quickly if not supporting the chasis. Tom Patterson's old '90 parts bike took a shot to the rear and bent up the trunk mount and frame, and lo-and-behold I actually have another upper... to replace the bent one. The rest of the frame looks pretty straight. I just wanted to make sure that the whole rig doesn't go ka-plooey when I take out that last bolt....

    I'm looking at one of the big pictures and it's a grill, not a griddle, and it looks like it would be a PITA keeping it clean. Unless you only did hot dogs.... I think I'd opt for a regular 2 burner and pick up one of those cast iron griddles with the ridges in it for grilling.

    Sure looks like one to me.... Wish there were more pics. Just make sure it's all there. Maybe someone will chime in that know a little bit more about it... Squeeze!!! where are you???

    Take a deep breath... now exhale slowly... The group buy has ended as of last night. I've shot an email off to the builder, and should be getting enough braces to cover everyone's order. It shouldn't take very long and expect to ship within 10 to 14 days barring any 'murphs'.

    I missed the folding set. I tried to pick up a set of TP sockets from Harbor Frieght, and the one size...#25... that fits the TP on the diaphragm cover wasn't included in the set. So I went and bouight them for more money :mo money:somewhere else. Can't remember where.

    Owning an '83 that only shows a needle width above horizontal in the green is a miracle in itself. I'd suspect the temp being much hotter than indicated and fan kicking in. You might have a faulty temp guage.. Try letting the bike idle on the center stand until the fan kicks in and note the reading. It should kick in just below the red zone.

    I think anything would be better than 20-25 year old fork springs, and progressives are kinda nice...

    Joe, unlike the brakes the clutch is a direct hydralic system. With all things being good, there's no reason why you would need to pump the lever to get the clutch to do it's job... unless the rubber cup is worn in the master piston. Probably time for a rebuild. OMHO....

    Buy one from Piggy Backer or Harbor Frieght and have Bushtec painted on the side.

    I've heard of some members wrapping copper wire to form a gasket. I needed one for the '83 because when I installed the MAC's I buggered one of them up, and the local independant sold me one that looked like silver 'oakum', and it's working fine. I was told that the Yamaha OEM's are now in that material. Those copper exhaust sleeve gaskets hardly ever appear on Ebay. MOF I've only seen one set on ebay....ever, and I bought them. I contacted Sirus, as they sell the other type header ring gaskets, and they didn't even know what I was talking about... If anyone on the board knows of an aftermarket source I'm sure we'd all like to know about it....

    Now that's interesting.....

    You're gonna have to loosen the front headers in order to give you enough wiggle room to get the collector off. Are you sure the leak is coming from the collector and not one of the gasket clamps being loose?

    I've been using www.IOBit.com Advanced System Care. It's free and very good. Keeps my system happy... There's a big difference between a system tuner, and a virus firewall. For those of you not running any type of virus protection, I wish you well. If you get email, it's sorta like playing russian roulette.
