    Yah! To my knowledge all the rims are the same but what do I know, I'm just the 800 lb gorilla in the room. I ended up using a buffing wheel with my rims while changing the tires. Brought the shine back, and then I masked and painted the black area gold to match the bike. Previously I ised a black magic marker to hide the chips in the paint. I have seen them corrode pretty bad and actually lift off the black...

    Yah, Goldie. May have found a buyer from church that also works with me, and besides I need the garage space! The '85 won't be started til next year, but I have been sort of working on it already as everything I do for Goldie I do a spare for the '85. Doing a complete frame up on that one...

    Yeah, but, I ain't got no computer in the garage...
  13. bongobobny
    I might, unless I gave it to Squidley along with the rear fender. I will have to check tomorrow...

    Hey!! I just noticed the service manual lies concerning the wire colors on the pickup coils!!! They list the orange wire as the center taps but in reality it is the black wire!!! Hmmmmm, back to square 1 with my ignition problem. Glad I noticed BEFORE I pulled my stator cover again after putting in the High Output stator before the harness incident...

    Gary (Dingy) is correct! Just came in from the garage where I was testing Vacuum advance modules ans double checked the colors, and 1 is Or, 2 is Gray, 3 is yellow, and 4 is white. Odd number cylinders are in the back, even numbers in the front. He is also correct about the modules and how different years work. The main difference between the 84-85 and '86-89 is the fact that one is designed for the 1200cc and the other is for the 1300. The difference in the curve is so slight that it does not make a noticable difference... BTW the coil primary from #2 coil feeds the tach, but in thoery it really shouldn't make any difference as the tach is just looking for the time duration between the cylinder firing to determine RPM, divided by 2 as it is a 4 cycle engine, not a 2 cycle...

    Suuuure!! Rub it in!!! It's gonna be in the 40's to 50's this week but no way am I taking the trike out until the salt gets washed off the roads! Even if the roads are dry there is always that fine salt powder that gets into everything!

    OK now I have to ask, are you using the right TCI? Not all TCI's are the same. An '83 will only work properly for an '83 due to the vacuum advance being 180 degrees out of phase from the rest of the years, the '84 - '89 are interchangeable but there is a slight difference in the advance curve for the '84 and '85 but all are interchangeable. The late MK2 '90 - up will only work on the late models as they went to a single pickup coil configuration. If you try one of those boxes on an earlirt model, the bike may fire up. or you will see spark on all cylinders, but the spark will be waaaay too fast, twice as many sparks per revolution. The reason I know this is I experienced the phenomonon when I accidently used one on my '84. Yes it is possible to mix up the coil inputs because the connectors are the same. If I get a chance later today I will give you the wire colors for the different cylinders. Number one cylinder on the left side is the plug on the rear, 2 is the plug on the front...

    Holy Cow, I was just thinking of Craig and seeing him at Kitchener just this afternoon! Prayers for a speedy recovery and hope they get to the root of the problem and fix it!

    Funny thing, Tom, that's EXACTLY what I thought as I read Freebird's post...

    Good point Goose, completely forgot about the dreaded rear shock blowout...

    Yayyyy!! Finally made our reservations! Thought I'd revive this thread in case someone else needs to reserve a room...

    Yah! Some of us have become very accustomed to the charactoristic George Jetson sound from the clutch. As long as the bike has been maintained it should last a very long time with little or no mechanical problems. The hardest part is deciding which chrome accessory to add next! The best thing is to get on it and ride it to decide if it fits you. They are big, and a tad top heavy and can be a bit hard to maneuver at very low speeds, but the learning curve is quick for that. You will be hard pressed to find a more comfortable scoot. Is the PO a member on this site??
  23. bongobobny
    Agreed! The only pot stirring done here is just in fun to bring a smile or two. This is the finest accumulation of loving and caring people that I am proud and honored to be a part of!!!

    You can also click on to the Meets and Eats Forum as not all of these get posted on the calendar. One of the biggest besides the International in Cody Wyoming is Freebird's Maintenance Day that Annie mentioned. It will be Jun 4th and it is a great time! Some people actually still work on bikes that day...

    Yah! I agree!! Wally world battery is not worth the powder to blow it to kingdom come! Buy a DEKA from Skydoc17! He gives a good price shipped and you will get it in a short time!!!
