I just wanted to let everyone know. That I also bought Earl's fuse box kit. And I'm a very happy customer. It was a very complete kit. Everything you needed to do the job. Straightforward instructions. Easy to follow. Step by step. Told you exactly what you needed to do. Even included his phone number if you got lost and didn't understand. Something but there was really no need for that. Like I said, the kit. Included everything you needed, plus extra parts. I took his tip on tanning. The wires. I wished I could figure out how to post pictures. I did take some. Of the finished product. But I'm not smart enough to do that. Earl also gave me some pointers on rebuilding the rear brake caliper. Which came in handy when I did that? He's an all around great guy. I saw somewhere on the forum here to just buy parts for the fuse box, Let me tell you this. Don't do that buy Earl's kit. It's all top quality stuff. It'll save you a lot of headaches. Is instructions are great? It's a complete kit. You get everything you need, plus more. It'll save you a lot of time. And a lot of headaches. And a lot of money . Glen Murra

I know this is kind of an old subject, looking at the date. But I've had Gold Wings I now. I purchased the 1989 Yamaha Ventura Royale. So I know just what you have to do when you have. Those type of oil filters and covers to take off. When you change the oil, the first thing you need is a six point socket. So you don't round the Bolt off. That's the most important thing you can do. Then when you put it back on, don't tighten the heck out of it. The six point socket will keep it from rounding off. Don't use a 12 point socket. If you're going to use a wrench, use a 12 point wrench. Don't over tighten it. Same thing with the drain plug? Change washer on the drain plug every time you drain the oil. When you do that, you don't need to over tighten it. If you'd like to buy one of those fancy adapter deals for spin on oil filter, that's a great thing. But in my books, you're just throwing away your money. Just get a six point socket and a six point wrench. And you'll be just fine. Use a little common sense. And if you happen to buy a used bike and it's on there a little tight, Hit it with a hammer first. That'll loosen it up.
