  1. OK First, there is no horn relay. Second, 12 volts is always at the horn, the horn switch switches Ground on and off to the horn. With the ignition on and the horn wires connected, you should see 12 volts on both terminals. If you only see 12 volts on one terminal with both wires connected then you have an open on the horn. If both horns were dead I would look at the horn switch but if one is working then there is nothing wrong with the switch. Switch to air horns!! You need to add a relay. The existring horn wires can be used for the relay primary. Run a nice heavy gauge wire like 14 or 12 directly from the battery to the relay contact and then to the + on the horn from the other relay contact. Even brand new, the stock horn sounded like some Poindexter saying " uhhhh, excuse me..." whereas an air horn says "HEY!!!" Use the Wolo Bad Boy which is the same horn as the Steibel but cheaper. Carbon One makes a bracket to mount it if you are not the "McGuiver" type...
  2. Oh, only about a shed full...
  3. Just got my 3/4 inch bore master cylinder today. The smaller OD solves a few of the clearance issues I had! Can't wait to get it modified and in to the system! Hope the bore isn't too small, and I will have to go with a 13/16 bore...
  4. Yup!! The speedo housing is dry sans any grease that was put into it, and the speedo gear box on the wheel is also just packed with some grease, no pressure on it. ditto for the front axle and bearings. It does look like light weight oil such as fork oil, or also look for hydraulic brake leak but you should feel a certain amount of fade if that is the case...
  5. Nah!! Buy a bum a meal instead!! God is good and I pretty much want for nothing!
  6. Now THAT'S thinking out of the box!!!
  7. No, I'm trying to get rid of 1st gen parts. I'll try to get it into the mail tuesday...
  8. Hmm, that one mounts where the hang bar for the saddlebag bolts on. The rear part should be the same but I kind of doubt about the front part. The Sub frame for a MK2 is different and that saddlebag mount is not there on a MK2...
  9. If you can wait for me to finally get one shipped, I ashould be able to help you out Louis! You don't need the resovoir, right? I should have one already rebuilt...
  10. Becky and I have actually developed a taste for it!! You have to drink a few shots of it before you start to like it, and I advise sipping, not slamming...

  12. Once again, once you get it clean, SEAL IT!!!

  14. Pour some bleach down the vent to kill any bacteria. You can also pour vinegar afterwords which also kills germs and refreshes the smell...
  15. We're leaving here about 8 - 9 AM Saturday but that doesn't help you out any...
  16. Use a gallon of Mr. Clean, etc and a gallon of Clorox and a stiff broom to scrub with then power wash. Once you get it clean you should use a tinted sealer and paint your driveway...
  17. Welcome aboard!!! Best $12 a year you can ever spend!!

  21. The Charcoal Corral in Perry, NY. Biker friendly, is a combination of places including a pizza place, ice cream place (one of Big Tom's favorites!!), burger, hot dog and Italian sausage etc place, and dining room. Also has a drive in and minature golf!! Concerts in the summer months. Food is good and reasonable, just outside Letchworth State park which is another great place to visit...
  22. Yes it has some value as a collector piece to the right person but you won't be able to retire or take a vacation on it...
  23. Me too!! As a matter of fact, I actually read mine tonight just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong with my audio system, it was dead. Turned out to be the "backup" 10 amp fuse was blown but I swear I checked it the other day and it was good...
  24. You can tell the Japanese wrote that! Check out the spelling for illustration...
  25. There should be no difference between those rubber plugs for MK1 and MK2. Are you missing one?? Skydoc did a really neat mod with some amber lenses from an aircraft on his...
