    I'm not to smart when it comes to electronics, but logic tells me that this should be possible. I have an 85 VR with the radio\cassette, and intercom but no CB. I also have a Uniden Pro 510xl CB with a Mic-Master 'hands free' mic attachment that gives me the push to talk button. (these are used by truckers, mic on the ear, PTT on the gear shift, and takes the place of the mic on the CB). Can I wire all this into the bike amp to make it work through the intercom speakers and mic?

    I'll bet there's lots of interest in that fix.

    So what are Hyperchargers? Now don't give me that dumb look, on this site there is no such thing as a dumb question.

    I was sooo burning to give out this info, but nobody was asking. It was posted before but didn't seem to be good enough 'cause someone went and wiped the whole site clean as a whistle and it's gone. I'm sure it will come back someday, but in the meantime this is what I remember and have found out, works. Don't ask how I found out, but it wasn't light outside. If your scoot is down on it's right side, put out the kickstand, but don't count it. If it's on it's left side the kickstand will be under the scoot and not available until later in this procedure. Back your body up to the bike on the opposite side as the tires, grab hold of the grab rail or something solid ( depends on the bike in question) with your one hand and if your are two handed you can use the other on the steering gear, the downest one. Now put your rear into the bottom edge of the seat with your underpinings slightly bent, or more bent if they are too long, and focus on pushing your backside into the seat. As you push the scoot gets the message to get up, and it does. Hitting it, kicking at it, cussing it, throwing things at it will only infuriate it and it will just stay put. Best to practise procedure before a downer happens and you really need to do it fast. Go to the nearest meet and eat and while everybody else is eating you'll have lots of practise time and machines to practise with. After, when they come out and notice how you, all by yourself, have righted all the bikes, you'll also become a hero.

    Dry splines and final drive gears. Poor lighting from stock headlight \ Greatly improved with Silver Star bulb. Swing arm needing lubrication and\or install of zerks. Battery cables need to be upgraded for better hot starts , Squidley's fix.

    You'd be amazed at what you can do if you put your mind to it, all ya gotta do is do it, do it, do it.

    You don't have to walk far to be a moderator, don't even have to ride cross country although that seems to be the norm. You just have to keep us in line and yourself too. That should be easy.

    It's not every day that we get a close up of your, I mean, such a nice picture of your scoot. I put Vemons on mine and so far so good, try Zdeno's, buddy did better there than I did in town.

    The fix maybe easy. First adjust your mic(s) to a different position. These are very sensitive instruments and will pickup any noise at all. You may need to face them up, down, over, under or somewhere else. Trial and effort is the game. Secondly reroute the leads in your scoot. Sometimes this doesn't take a lot, just a movement of 2 in or so, other times you need to go from one side of the bike to the other. When you do this have the bike running, headsets on with the noise present, then start moving things around. If this don't get you anywhere try some filters.
