    Well, I have an idea about how to fix the CB, and probably modify the wiring to include the 86-93 left handle with the PTT button & the rider controller. The only reason that stopped to go to J&M is (That is the weakest side of J&M) you need two modules to have all functionallity. The CB module is very complete, but only has a connection for an audio device: MP3, XM Radio, you named then connect it. Now, the other is the radio AM/FM, MP3, etc... (At this step of technology, everything should be on the same box) However, I spent more in e-bay that the price of the J&M and the module. Stupid obsession to have everything original way. I deserve to have the bike painted pink & orange.... :sick::sick::sick:

    Really I love to enhance features & keep my bike on good shape. But really to get parts from responsable sources looks to be impossible. A year ago I got a wiring cabling from a 1986 VR, toghether with their fairing and structure in order to prepare to migrate it due to the headlight problem on the 83-85s with low visibility. This year I spent a lot trying to get as original as I can with an original CB radio, rider handle control and another accesories. Full FIASCO!!! CB doesn't work, CLASS reports E-4, and plastic broken. Good thing is as Electronic Engineer, I will go through this, but the only idea to re-ensamble everything back, put the OEM CB back not connected yet to the Amplifier, until I can go through this really make me seek, overall when I wast a full weekend putting all the pieces togheter. I start to believe that cheaper & better should be install a J&M system, and forget everything else. Even trying to get the 6 pin cable wiring was a PITA!!! (pain in the a...) Thanks a lot to all the supposed salers of tested parts.

    I have progressives on the front, and I never put more than 7 psi on the fronts. If I do that, I can fell the street on my hands as if I'm riding on top of a rock. (Flintstone's bike) And the back, with the standard one, allways take two o three times more than the front ones. Regards,

    Ok, That has a lot of sense. I had problems with the CLASS (Needs to be resawder), and all that I can do right now is change the regulator from 2 to 4 when have a passanger, and last year I put progressive springs on the front, and I get about 5 to 7 pounds on the front. May be is too much pressure on the front goint out in the back? Also, the pressure on the rear shock continously change. I have to recheck the rear circuit obviously. Thanks a lot.:cool10:

    Yesterday as first time on the second year I have the bike, I noticed that there was some oily cover on the area of the rear fender close to the plate holder. Is the rubber hose that is on the area comming from the engine or some other part? I never noticed that before, but is this a meaning the the engine is sending oil out? or this is normal for the bikes? Thanks for any opinions, :detective:

    Do you have battery still? I mean, if you hook up a voltmeter, what do you read? Check what do you read with a voltmeter on your fuse box? Go forward one by one. Probably you blow a general fuse, like to ones on the first gen has. I have no experience with the second ones, but I already lived this on the first ones. Regards,

    Your best bet is going to be: Go to an audio car store. Check what are they willing to do in your bike. If that doesn't work, then put an hitch tow on your bike, attach a car with all the audio system already install and tow it. The upgrade I did was install 4" polypropilene cone and works perfect. Of course, I don't try to hear any opera on my bike. Regards, calperin southfield, mi
