Your world has been forever changed...........

I assume the color/texture match was perfect?

Is that a factory wheel? I thought they were ony available with 16'' wheel or an optional 18" wheel.

John, I don't think I posted anything disagreeable? Do you remember the brand and part # of the Mitsubishi starter. The relay is the only way to go to cure a lot of current (not voltage) problems. You will make sure you get a good flow of I and E to the starter solenoid. You will save the switch (from burning up) also. I nstalled a headlamp (headlight switch) relay kit on my 87 SE. This kept me from burning up a $175.00 switch.

16 or 18" front wheel?

The most inexpensive tool you can own is a test light. When you have a "no start" condiriion touch the properly grounded test ligh to the start terminal of the starter to see if it lights when you press the starter button. If it lights the problem is the starter or improperly grounded starter. I install shakeproof washers on all ground connections. If there is no light,start going backwards on the circuit until you get a "light on" condition with the test light. I assume you have a wiring diagram and are competent enough to use it? If so,you will find your problem. If you need more help me pm me for my cell and shop #s.

This crusty old man walks into the local Lutheran church one weekday morning and is greeted by the church secretary. "can I help you sir" ? "You sure as hell can, I want to join this Damn Church" the old man replies. "I"m sorry I must have misunderstood you,what did you just say"? Replied the secretary. " You heard me,I want to join this damn church" ! Shouted the old man. The secretary said "Sir I will be right back". The secretary went to get the pastor. As they were returning the pastor assured the secretary any language like that would not be tolerated. The pastor was very cordial to the old man and said" Sir, can I help you.What seems to be the problem"? The old man responded swearing and hollering "There is no damn problem. I just won $200 million in the lottery and I want to join this damn church and give some of my money to the church"! "I see" said the Pastor. "So is this bitch giving you a hard time" ?

It looks like a roll pin. 1/8" diameter? You can purchase a double roll pin that is probably better.

Gas n Go !! It looks ready to ride....

I wonder if it would work for me?

At least you filled it with something. You should hear about these Quick-lube places that would drain the gear oil on Saab 900s w/manual trans.,add 5 qts of oil and send them down the road!

You're o.k. For safety's sake , change the gearbox oil again in 100 mi.

It is rumoerd that The H-D black w/krinkle finish is the paint to use. HTH

Do I have a choice? I'll taks option "d" none of the above.................

Disconnect the shift linkage from the shift lever. Move the lever up and down.If it will not fall after raising the lever by hand. If it is not free, remove the pivot bolt and lubricate the bushin the bolt goes through. If it( shift lever) moves freely, suspect something inside the shifter housing. p.s. the shift lever bolt nut is a jam nut. The frame is threaded where the shift lever bolt goes through. My bike sat for 4 weeks waiting on a shift spring to find the shift lever pivot was sticking.

A good animal or bad animal ?

I have ridden both Buell and H-D. THERE IS NO COMPARISON !

The "Donner Party". Probably the worst documented event in U.S. history. I watched a documentary about this 20 yrs. ago on PBS. Every 5 min. I thought it couldn't get any worse but it did! Everyone needs to read or watch something about this tragedy. You will stop complaining about your daily discomforts.

When you say "pinning" I hope you mean "pinging" or spark knock. You had the dome of the pistons ceramic coated, how is this process performed?

Get one of these models with bars and be done with it.

You need to look under the plastic of these new Beemers. It looks like it was in a car crusher. There is NO space whatsoever. I don't think you could run a 22 ga. wire down the frame of these. Don't forget about the rear axle that will not stay together. Add to all that , the ugliest looking bikes being produced.

I saw your bike on eBay. Sorry to hear about losing your job. What did you do? Maybe someone in our group can help!

You could leave them with me! I would take good care of them for you.

A bargain like this would warrant keeping both!

It is likely the flasher unit. It is located at the rear outer edge of the relays(on the r.h.side of the bike) beneath the seat. It can be obtained at any automotive parts store. Take the old one with you, it probably has 552 stamped on the top.
