    But can I reuse the new gasket and crush washer after a week or so of being on the bike?

    Not sure you do have what I need! I know my 83 doesn't have the shift indicator on it. My 84 did. But Thanks anyway.

    I"m doing the clutch slave cyl and figured I'd tackle the gear indicator issue while I was in there. Mine reads 4th gear for everything except 5th That part was not really planned cause I didn't even realize the switch was in there!! Anyway, I did the testing as per the manual and I guess the switch is bad. Any body got a GOOD shift indicator switch they want to part with? How much is a new one here in Canada? I really dont' want to try building up the contacts with solder like I read in one thread...I"d rather just change the switch. If I go ahead and do the slave cyl. and put the cover back on....do I have to order another gasket and crush washer to do the switch later or can I just re-use the "new" ones I would have just put in?

    Thanks for the suggests and offers folks. There are several local shops with the rectangular ones. I had checked princess Auto, CTC, Nappa, Parts Source....and nobody had the 1" round convex mirrors. Smallest they had was 1 3/4" I think I'll go with the rectangular. I just want to eliminate the blind spot.

    I'm only getting about 135 miles to a tank. I haven't checked the actual mpg but I know it is BAD!!!!

    I would be interested also. Depending on $$$$

    They were looking good until they wanted $25 for shipping! Thanks Evan! CTC has them so I think I'll check them out.

    I like curves...but not the ones you have to slow down to 15 mph to negotiate! If I can cruiise along at about 45 mph and enjoy some twisties at that speed then life is good. Too tight = too much work!

    Trader posted a topic in Watering Hole

    Hey Bongobobny! So how was Americade? I've never been there but I can imagine that it is hundreds of vendor booths. But besides that, what's there? Anything out of the ordinary to share? Inquiring minds want to know!

    It was on the news the other night that some places are considering banning texting and walking. People tend to walk into the street without looking....walk into doors etc. It showed a girl walking into a street sign !

    Playing with a GPS while riding or driving is as bad as texting! program your destination BEFORE you ride. In Ontario, there is a $225 ticket for anyone using any kind of electronic device while driving. Hands free phone is OK...but no hand held, no playing with GPS, no texting. Needless to say, people still do it

    If mine aren't already in the mail Bob has my go ahead to send them to you instead...I'll get a set later!
  15. Trader
    yeah...that's it! As long as those two days are Saturday or Sunday. You guys are starting to scare me!

    Link doesn't work. Sad to see...for a rider of any age.

    Let us know how you make out. I'm sure others like myself would be interested in replacing the foggy sight glass on ours.

    I've checked my diaphrams for pin holes and haven't seen any...but it almost sounds like it would be worth changing them out "just because". I have a set I was going to put in when I completely rebuild the carbs over this winter. Maybe I should change them out now?
  19. Trader
    but no cassette!? sorry, you know SOMEBODY had to do it.

    hope they have more power than the BBB around here. If you have a problem they give them a negative feedback. They Don't help resove the problem at all...just warn the next guy. At least that was my experience a few years ago in Hamilton.

    I want to put convex mirrors on the top outside corner of the OEM mirrors. I"m thinking the 2 inch convex might be too big but I haven't been able to find anything smaller. For a 1st Gen Mk II Any suggestions? I'd suggest it is so I can keep an eye on the 2nd gens behind me...but I am looking for help here so I guess I'd better not.

    Oh that is just SOOOO old! But still good!

    Jayceesfolly had the same thing happen on his newly painted bike. OUCH. He posted some pics on here from his experience last summer.

    seems to be the most common failure of these seats. Both my 83 and 84 had split in the same spot. The 84 was repaired with a "caulking" type of material like Pegasus1300 is refering to. It was black so didn't show. The 83 is awaiting my attention:whistling:
