    SNOW

    bongobobny replied to FROG MAN's topic in Watering Hole

    We got over a foot of wet yucky snow last night. Had to snow blow this afternoon and found out the hard way I forgot to put away the garden hose last weekend...

    2 bolts. Done deal!
  10. bongobobny
    It's been done by a few members, and here's the deal. It's pretty much direct bolt on, but you have to switch rotors as they are a different kind. You need to install the newer brake calipers as well as your old ones won't fit, but that's pretty much the main reason to upgrade, for the beter brakes. If possible, switch master cylanders in both the front and rear as the bigger calipers use a little more volume of brake fluid, but your Mk1 masters wil work, but not 100% efficient. I would strongly suggest rebuilding the shocks first, and if you can afford it, install progresswive springs. You may as well go all the way and upgrade the rear brake as well. You have to change the caliper holder, but it is poretty much bolt on. As far as the electric anti dive, it is triggered thru a relay by the brake light signal. I'm finally getting around to doing mine this winter...

    Yup, confirmed! Confirmed WHAT I'm not sure, but confirmed...

    You will also notice an improvement in hot starting with the Odessy! Glad things are going good again, now get out there and ride instead of reading this post!!!

    If so, I am in need of the "Low Fluid" magnetic reed switch assembly. I'm rebuilding a couple of them, and on one the O ring for the switch was "glued" on and I sort of destroyed the switch. The float is fine. If you have one, I can make use of it...

    Jonas, Big Tom lives in the western part of New York state, near Buffalo/Niagara Falls. I live south of him. We will be meeting up with you on Friday if that's the route you are taking. We wil most likely meet up with several Canadians as well. We wil hit Oberlin late Friday afternoon. Should take about 6 hours to get there. Looking forward to meeting you!

    Becky and I quit some 20 years ago and even now I sometimes am a smoker in my dreams. Happend maybe every other month or so... Way to go, you two!!! Betcha you are starting to notice just how bad they smell!

    Your neutral light problem is most likely dirty contacts on the gear imndicator switch. It's a rotary type switch with a contact for each gear position. Without the neutral signal the bike will never start (probably the reason it sat for years). Consult the service manual for proper procedures for removal. There is an electronic PDF file of the manual on this site. I'm assuming that the green neutral light does not light as well...

    The signal from the brake light fires a relay that engages the anti dive solenoid. Soooo, just splice a line into your brake lights to the primary of a relay with the other side of the primary coil to ground. One end of the relay contacts goes to the battery, and the other relay contact goes to the anti dive unit. Easy enough? IMHO the conversion is well worth the time but you should change over the rear as well to include the rear master cylander for maximum benefit. Anti dive is a good thing to have, but so is progressive springs. To my knowledge the springs are the same from the mk1 and mk2...

    Hey Big Tom, looks like you and me gotta go to 'lil Brother's shopping some time soon...

    A couple of the Ontario members have seen that rig up close and personal. Definately a show stopper!!!
  21. bongobobny
    Wow, thanks for the heads up about 4 rooms being left, Dave! Just made our reservations for Friday and Saturday. Soooo, I guess that means we're committed and have to show up this time... Man, there could be quite the group ride coming from Ontario and New York!
  22. bongobobny
    You could do like I did on mine, and use some wide adhesive chrome molding available at most auto accessories store...
  23. bongobobny
    Ditto here, Thom! Found it in my mailbox and am super pleased with it!! Great going, I will be proud to wear it!

    Hey, thanks for that tip! I just bought a digital video camrea that uses SD and HCSD cards, and just got a 4G card but haven't tried it yet. Looks like a trip to Wally World is in order...

    I think you did just fine thanking us, Yama Mama. We really don't expect the world to be handed to us on a silver platter, nor do we ask anything of anyone, other than what you have already done, which is to recognize us for what we are, just an ordinary person who chose to serve our great nation. I served in the Army from 1967 to 1970 and was in Vietnam from July of 1967 to June of 1770 with the 101st Airborne Division. I also want to thank my fellow Veterans for serving their country with pride!
