    OK it is quite normal for the Mk1 1st Gen's temp gauge to read on the high side. It is quite normal for them to read high but they are not really overheating. That was one of the many minor things that got changed on the Mk2 1st gens. Just wanted to pass that bit of info on to you...

    OK I think I finally figured it out. I think putting the helmet on ther Garmin mount at the rest stops was putting that switch in that position...

    I encountered a really strange one on the road Saturday. We stopped for ggas and when I went to restart, it acted like my battery took a dump. We push started ok, but the voltmeter barely made it up to 12 volts. About a half hour down the road I just happened to notice that my Hi/Low beam switch was halfway inbetween the 2 settings, so I reset it. Almost immediately the voltmeter went up above 12 volts, and the problem was solved. Fine and dandy, but yesterday I smelled a very faint burnt electrical smell, and looked, and sure enough the darnn switch was halfway inbetween again, same basic symptom. Put switch back and everything is beautiful again. I may be accidently hitting the switch when clutching as we have been doing a lot of twisties these last 2 days... Just wanted to make you aware of a potential problem source!

    I won't be doing the switch over until this winter but if you aren't fixed before then let me know...

    The "spmething's loose" may be a broken solder connection on the main connector inside the unit where it mounts to the circuit board, or a connector in the unit. If you have a friend who has electronic skills perhaps he or she can resaolder all the co nnections for you. This is the most common reason for the class units to malfunction...

    Well, obviously you have one good horn and one bad horn. The previous post is good information and your horn switch is obviously not working as one of your horns work. Hmmm, maybe it's a good time to switch to Steibel air horns...

    OK we are really psyched up for this weekend!! I have discovered that I really need a heel/toe shifter with the Markland floorboards I installed. Anyone got an extra 1st gen shifter lever?? Maybe I can have the arm cut off and welded onto my shifter. Brakes are bled and it did make a difference. Trailer got inspected yesterday so we are good to go. Sleepy, yes I did look at some of the pictures and you did an awesome job!! That stretch 1st gen S'Cool bus is outrageous!! Uhhh, nice legs on the driver... Waterloo Phil, yes we will have to ride as soon as we get back! Weekdays are good for us as well so we don't have to wait for the weekend. Everyone else, thanks for the well wishes. This group is awesome!!

    Way to go, DT!!! Doesn't it make you feel great to be of help to someone?!!? I totally agree with "Pay It Forward" and practice it whenever I can as well. What goes around comes around. You have made the world just a little bit better to live in...

    The horn switch supplies ground to the horns when pressed. If you are seeing 12 volts on both wires while still connected to the horn, that is normal as the voltage just goes thru the horn and out the other side until ground appears. When ground appears (horn button pushed) current is drawn, and the hot side is 12 volts and the other side is 0 volts, ground...

    OK found it and it will be sent this afternoon. You probably won't see it for a while due to "Custioms" but don't worry about the postage, I'm sure it's not much.
  22. bongobobny
    I have one left, I think. PM me your address and I'll get it out tomorrow..,.

    If it is a "Ventureline" the brackets with the big rectangular holes (diamond shaped that the backrest bracket goes thru and are secured by clevis pins) mount to both the bracket that the helmet locks are mounted on, and to the saddlebag crash bars on that rectangular area where the black plastic end caps are mounted. if you really need a picture I'll see what I can do but I'm kind of busy gettrin g ready for Asheville...

    Thanks, everybody!! We are really looking forward to leaving this Satrurday for a two week ad-Venture! Brakes need bleeding before I go anywhere but we'll handle it! Really looking forward to seeing a few old friends and meeting some new ones as well! The Piggybacker seems to pull very well but I wish I would have had time to put a swivel hitch on. Big Tom, you betcha we will go riding when we get back! We will be back on the 15th but that weekend is booked solid. We will put something together as soon as possible...
