    take your muffler off and measure the pipe size which if my memory serves me right is 1 3/4 inch and you are looking for a pipe with a 20 degree bend in it. you local Napa or auto parts store should have the piece of pipe already done up. just paint it or take it in somewhere to get it chromed. the pipe is around 12 inches long and i mounted a set of road kings on my 86. the stock yamaha clamps held the pipe to the collector and a couple of harley clamps held the road kings to the extension pipe. i fabricated a couple of brackets to hang the road kings to my saddlebag rails . cheers, Scott

    my accident in sept 2007, i had 55 watt silverstar bulb on low beam, and two 50 watt halogen driving lights were on, when a lady coming from the other direction made a left turn in front of me, and she said she never seen me. not allowed to run high beam in traffic here.

    1st gens were way ahead of their time. with a litlle routine maintenance they run flawless. any old bike or car needs a little TLC. i loved the style of the first gen, futuristic, different shape, sleek, and goes like stink. i am sure you will not be dissapointed with either 1st or 2nd gen, they both have cassete players. cheers, Scott

    hey Randy what is the p1aa bulb and is this what you use for high/low beam? where can i buy one to try? mine is an 86, so i have the bucket you used. the running lights are 50 watts each and do light up the road better than the high beam. cheers, Scott

    i am running the silverstar 9003, but i was wondering if anyone is running anything a little better. on highbeam i find it does not cast better lighting that i would like. i do have driving lamps and they help, but i would like to improve high beam.

Cheers, Scott

    glad it worked out for you Swifty. how many did you have to do? i really only needed to do about 5, but was being real fussy and brought a few more to the middle of the specs. all the rest were still dialed in. thanks for the chart Swifty, i know other members will find it useful when the time comes.. Lynn, this is not the loaner kit that we have seen in previous posts, but it has so far travelled quite a bit around Ontario, Canada. it has not made it to the U.S. yet! let me know when you need to borrow it, and i will send it your way. the loaner kit has a full assortment of shims, my mini kit has 16 shims (assorted sizes) take a shim and drop your old one back in. the shim removal tool is in the bag also. cheers, Scott

    there is a product called Plastex. if you have a good pin, the kit has this plastercene type rubber that you heat up and you can make a mold of a good pin. then you pour in the powder and add the glue(kinda like a crazy glue) and the next day you pop out a pin that can be glued back onto the sidepanel. i was missing a couple and that is how i made my repair. a small kit from Plastex goes for around 20 bucks should easily do 4 pins. cheers, Scott

    congrats on the new addition. we have had the same bike 83 500 cherry red since 84 in our stable. oil changes, tires, brakes and one starteer solenoid, very reliable and fun to ride. my daughter now wants to learn to ride this summer. cheers, Scott

    very nice job, and the attached pdf file with all the calculations is awesome. your setup is a very nice system. about three years ago, i did a homemade heated fleece jacket for my wife who does not like the cold. on my first try i only had wire running down sleeves and back up for each arm, the rest of the wire on the back and front. she complained of arms not warm enough and her back was hot. rerouted the wires so that there are four runs of wire like you have done in the arms, and i had less runs up and down the back. my setup uses a cigarette lighter plug on the back of the bike and she just plugs it in and has been very happy with the warmth. my cost was around 20 bucks for a wire only kit that someone was selling on ebay. now she is toasty warm and doesnt complain about our rides in cool weather. cheers, Scott
