I did heat shrink the splices and everything seemed to work fine for about 12 years. When I took it apart I could see corrosion where the wires failed. I also noticed that the loom was brittle and had failed. I'll look into using better waterproofing and a better heat resistant loom. Thanks

Ok, I installed a H/O stator about 12 years ago. On my last ride I lost electrical power and I limped the bike home. I traced the problem to the stator connections. I was lazy and didn't feel like fishing the wires up to the regulator and made a splice, that ultimately failed. I'm going to...

Two years before I retired from a California PD, I showed the powers to be how effective the Motoport gear was in comparison to the gear we were currently using, your basic horse riding breeches, standard duty shirt and leather jacket. The department purchased the police style Kevlar motor...

I have yet to see an accurate "4 feet of rain" prediction yet. Makes good news fodder. That's about all.

Think I'll take the wife hiking next week... :ph34r:

I guess you should have gotten a ticket, then you would have known what law you broke.

Get some of these:

Thanks for all of the comments. I really am happy I was able to find a good running RD. When I was 16 this was the bike to have...mommy said "NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY!" So I settled for a Honda Elsinore MT250...dual sport. I prolly won't be getting the chambers, as tempting as it sounds, going...

Purchased a pretty clean 1975 RD350 last week. 4900 miles and runs good. I plan on riding it for about a year before I tear it down and restore it. I already have started buying a few parts for it. It has the twin K&N filters that are going to replaced with the stock air filter set up. You...

+1 on HEAROS...but I use 'em because I'm a day sleeper....

I have no problem with my son getting the ticket for the windows adjacent to the driver being tinted. I warned him it would happen and it did. My issue is the new task force policy to make the citation non-correctable. In the past most, if not all equipment violations, are correctable. You...

I have recently become aware of a new disturbing program initiated by our friends at CHP (California Highway Patrol). It seems that CHP has formed a new task force dedicated to enforcing MECHANICAL violations. The program utilizes officers from multiple offices to saturate a specific area...

Wow....glad you figured that out. I was afraid the same thing could happen at high speed and it scares the beegeezuz out of me.....it there any way to bypass the switch?

I just got a nearly 10% raise....my 457 is kicking ass right now......positive cashflow.....have three international trips planned this year, and am going to retire 3 years earlier than I thought.....life is good....

Why do I find it so interesting that all the cop bashers aren't commenting on this thread? Just goes to prove that ATTITUDE plays a HUGE part in how you are treated....and I'm not talking about the cops attitude. 40 over the speed limit; 90 past a cop; 103 in a 55; 96 past a CHP; a judge...
