    Actually, what I really want is a left and a right base and rubber boots to do a little experiment with. Anybody got any leftover pieces of 1st gen mirrors they would like to part with??

    Very similar to a lecture we saw at a marriage retreat about 10 years ago, only instead of boxes, it was blocks, and instead of wires, it was chains. My conclusion was men are blockheads and women's brains are in chains...

    Yup, definately good coffee sipping day!! I can't even get my shed door open to get scoot out if I wanted to... Check out M&E in Ft Erie next Saturday and come meet a few other local riders. No, we will be caging it for this event.

    I usually buy it at Autozone, but it's nice to hear you can get it a Wallyworld as well...

    Or, get an MP3 player with a built in FM tuner... Sony has a nice marine unit that goes for a little over $100, or get in touch with Condor. He deals in marine supplies.

    Yah, I enjoy the form letter emails but don't forward them either. Just don 't have the time...

    Keep in mind that the 450 mis the same basic unit and a couple hundred cheaper...

    OK, the R/Y wire gets connected up with the Blue wire for the meter lights on the dash after it goes out the connector with 6 wires in it. It comes back into the dash as the blue ire thru the same 6 pin connector. It also is connected to the Blue/Black wire that first comes from the engine "Start" switch where it is normally connected to the Red/Yellow wire unless you are starting the bike. That R/Y wire comes from the 10 amp "Ignition" fuse located on the fuse block. The Blue/Black wire also goes to the reserve lighting unit. The other wire for the high beam indicator, the yellow ire, comes from the reserve lighting unit. The Blue/White lead on the 18 pin computer monitor (of which 15 wires are used) is a sense line coming from the rear brake/tail lights. it comes from a 5 pin connector hich also carries the brake, tail, and turn signal lines. It goes from that 5 pin connector to a 3 pin connector for the tail light. If the "Fender mounted flashing lights" that you are referring to is mounted on a chrome fender protector, this is an aftermarket product that those lights were generally just hooked up to be running lights, although some brave souls hooked each side up as turn signals. They would generally be hooked into the "Blue" running lights line... Hope this gives you an area to look at. Keep in mind that connectors can develop corrosion and need to be inspected and cleaned. I assume you have tried troubleshooting of the high beam indicator via the Service manual and found no 12 volts on the yellow wire, so there was no need to ground the yellow wire to see if the indicator lights. Start by looking for 12 volts on the R/Y line coming to the handlebar start switch and go from there...

    I'll check into some of the other stuff for you later, but for now, the 4 way flasher has to be hooked up in order for the turn signals to work. The circuitry goes thru it to the turn signals...

    Although it would be a lot of work, you may consider buying an entire wiring harness from ebay. I really don't know of any pictural diagrams of the wiring harness, but some problems may not be wiring but bad solder joints on the dash, class connector, etc, or bad grounds. If wires were tacked on for accessories, as long as the wires were soldered on and taped up, then just cutting off the added wire should present no problem. Just tell us exactly what each problem is and I'm sure you will get plenty of help here! The wires are color coded by what they do as far as the main harness is concerned.

    An arm and a leg, Ed! You may want to consider the Zumo 450 which is a little cheaper but basically the same unit. Here's a link to the thread with links to other sites with prices... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20085

    Yah!

    I'm bumping this thread up for Mother who is in the market for a new one...
  21. bongobobny
    Yes it comes with a handlebar mount kit that either bolts onto the handlebar, or bolts onto the master cylander. Comes with both SAE and Metric bolts to do so as well!! You actually get two mount kits, one for handlebars, and another with a suction cup for the car as well. I don't think the 450 has the mounts...
  22. bongobobny
    Yes, but it DOES know exactly where you are...

    You guys are lucky, I can't even get Goldie out of thde shed yet as I can't get the door open...

    I had a '65 Corvair Monza 110 convertable! Fun to drive but POS for oil leaks. Spent twice as much on repairs than I paid in payments so I got rid of it after 4 months. Traded it in on a '66 Ford Galaxy 390 convertable that I kept for years!!

    Mr Zumo made his first mistake last night, sent us to a restaraunt that doesn't exist any more... Wife wants me to add a passenger on the back with a hot pink riding jacket!!
