today is big day for the GS750. Putting the forks back together, already rebuilt the calipers, and master cylinder. Reassembling the cluster, reassembling the triple clamp, installing the new bars. Replacing a bunch of burned up wire, oil change, and last re-installing the header. I got my BFH and channel locks so I am ready!!
Pictures to come later

EDIT: Doh, you answered my question in the post above this one, that'll teach me to read the entire thread before I go posting.

Originally posted by Allie View PostThank ye! there's already a rubber pad where the camera mounts to the tripod part, but I put some more rubber between the tripod and the training wheel just to be safe - if you look closely you'll see a little black peeking out. I took a short test run and am super pleased with the results. You can't see the guages or anything, but the view is nice and the picture quality is fairly steady and clear for a digi cam. The wind noise, however, is fierce and it's there at anything above .9974 mph. tape over the mic holes does nothing to quiet it, if anything it makes it more annoying. I'm not sure what to do about that one .

Replaced speedo finally!
Old one
New one, $32 with shipping. I finally got a super deal on ebay! Here is a shot before she was mounted. Works perfectly, and had only 3000 less miles than previous

Here's a link to the test video I shot, turn the sound down and don't fall asleep

The old speedo served me well for about 2000 miles in that condition. Feel I got super lucky finding a replacement for $32, delivered.
Thanks for reading and Happy Fourth!

Lol. Well, if the multimeter was right it was only about 2.5, 2.5, and 4.5 volts on a 200v AC setting and way more ohms than it should have been. I'm still glad I replaced the R/R anyway but it makes me wonder if maybe the PO never bothered to check out this site before telling me he had to replace it. I'm sure glad I found you guys.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace
