    I often get weird noises when I ride,,,,,, but then I look around, realize who's ahead of me and behind me, and all my worries are gone!!!!!

    Turns out,,, that maybe,,, just maybe the new split washer was a wee bit thicker than the old split washer, which then would make the second gear set run a little close, even on the original gear set, so in order to get rid of the problem I removed the engaging dogs on the smaller gear which seemed to be causing the problem. Now all is quiet and Wayne is very happy,,,,, at this point,,, I haven't told him this yet and he wasn't able to see it because I had the motor back together before he got here. Now 2nd is quiet, Wayne is happy and the 1st gen has a coaster gear so so that 2nd gens and others can have a legal chance to keep up,,,,,,,,, anybody looking to do this mod???? don't come to me, for I'm down the highway and over the hill, for I think someone may be looking to make big kill. Actually I only removed about 30 mil to get the gears to clear and now all works just fine. Thanks all for your input and concern. Like the good book says: work and pray. And oh the picture???? Yah, well that's another story!!

    I would think that you're pushing Jeff, even with re-enforcing. Those lights will catch a fair bit of wind and have enough weight to jiggle around some through vibration and pot holes. I would like to see them mounted to something steel if it was up to me to decide.

    yep,,, just weld it on, problem solved. Actually a little Locktite does wonders,,,, make sure it completely clean of grease and dirt.

    Ya you must have bought a 2nd gen,,,,, now if you had bought a 1st gen, you wouldn't be posting here,,, you'd still be trying to find your way home from the long ride... Welcome to the forum.

    Turns out,, now that we have it all apart, that second gear doesn't clear completely in neutral,, it seems to be fine when in gear, the dogs clear, but in neutral it doesn't quite clear. So now what, do we bend the forks to accommodate, file a wee bit off the dogs so that they clear, or stick it back together and take out the hearing aids? We presently have Dingy's gear set and forks installed. Why would this happen? What would have changed? Should we change back to the original gear set? We mic'd them both and they seem to be the same,,, pretty hard to tell on casting, but they are close.

    I took the clutch out to see if anything un-towards was happening in that area. So that gives me some sense of where all this comes from. The sound comes from inside the tranny and it could be either the forks or gears touching..... guess it's coming out,,, wish us well.
  16. Marcarl
    We used the gears sent by Dingy, but did not change the forks seeing as we could see nothing wrong with the ones that were in there to start with. And everything seemed to work fine on the bench before we put the bolts back in. It only makes the noise (sounds like a bolt hitting something in rotation) in neutral, and only when the clutch engages, whether the lever is in or out. So we can put it in gear and the noise goes away, slip it into neutral and all is well, wait for the slight friction to start turning the tranny and it returns.

    http://www.roadbikemag.com/home/breaking-news-polaris-acquires-indian/ Should be an interesting match-up.

    Some of your issue may not be in the cord at all,,,, it may lie in the connections between the controls and the amplifier itself. You can see these when you lift the control panel out of the bike. They need to be brought a little closer together, I did 3 bikes now, just by adding washers under the connectors and solved their problems.

    Boy, that bag is almost big enough to fit a squid into. Looks good though,,, should help out just fine, Me thinks.

    Actually snitched it from my wife's bouquet that I got for her 3 weeks ago, and they were on for less than 1/2 price,,,, well at least they lasted 'til the next morning when she got up to see them,,,,,,,, should be well dried by June.

    I'm gone today, but will work on this next week,,,,, need to finish laying out the ride route, and a few other things,,,,, and then ask if they will really allow you to eat there Charlie. They'll ask for your history and whether you have have any bad habits,,,,, like not showing up at appointed times or not at all,,,,, so I'll have to see if I can formulate the response without lying and yet get you some food. Anyways,,, you still have not answered the question: why are you so stuck on Angels?

    For me, during the day a bright light showing is very important, so I use high beam only and my driving lights. Using low beam during the day only gives others another color to look at, there is no real light showing, just pay attention to MCs coming towards you, and you'll notice what I'm saying. During the dark hours, the amount of light is not near as important to be seen, just any light will actually show up, but now it becomes paramount us to see. For this reason it's very important to have the headlight aimed properly. If it's aimed too low, you have a shortened line of sight and if it's too high it's all washed out. Along with this is the fact that we'll p*ss off others if our lights are too high.
