    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It's raining today too. Stupid!

Here is a pic of my right hand controls. It's the only pic I have on file. I can take more pics if needed. My right hand controls are also metal while my left side is plastic. Should it be like that?

That's a push/pull throttle for VM carbs.

Makes sense. That's why there's two holes for the throttle cables. Any idea which bike it came off of? The wires bolt right into the wiring harness.
 
Congratulations on the job. One more piece of advice if I could...don't give out the work number to anyone who doesn't need to contact you in case of emergency and that includes your girlfriend. It will be the fastest way to upset people.

Gotcha! Speaking of the GF, haven't seen her ever since I couldn't get the bike to start. And it was all because I was out of gas. :rolleyes: Whatever. :D

I should have the correct right hand control on my way soon thanks to sschering. My brand new helmet should be here tomorrow according to FedEx's ETA. My chain guard should be here this Friday thanks to JimmyD. And I got horns on the way from Baatfam.

Exciting stuff! Seriously... Nearly a COMPLETE bike. :dancing:

I need an armored jacket! Not sure if my 1970's leather jacket will hold up or not...

Loudest. Helmet. Ever.

That was my first lid, it SCREAMS at 60+. Ear plugs/headphones are a must.

Dammit. :(

But this helmet is basically brand new and was cheap so I jumped on it. Better than wearing my crash damaged KBC VR-2 though. :rolleyes:
