    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.

Did the pinstripes,do I wish I had the stick to it to do them by hand.Don't feel steady or patient enough to do the practice.Wimped out and bought stripes in other words.On to clear!
 
Whats going on here SVSooke? I thought I had seen it all, but taking your tins on a picnic? I think that might just require professional help!
 
Well I can't win can I?If I leave them on the grass I get asked what I use for fertilizer,put them on a sheet I'm wrong to:rolleyes:
 
Since the 750 is in a bit of a holding pattern I did some 1000 work:



Put in the "new" harness.Had to move the plate for the 83 750 fusebox down to clear the side cover.Then I found this out http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=211189 :-\\\

Put these in to,will wire them with a relay from Rustybronco,thanks again Dale.Looking at the wiring again I REALLY don't know why the other one burned down.Happens again I'm thinking I'll part the bike out.All the hassle getting this harness has just not been worth the heartache.

Well I think I MIGHT know what happened to the first harness.Was messing around with the horns and harness and I found a frame ground,had a :idea:.Went in to check the old harness,there's 2 grounds!!.Thinking either I put one in the wrong place of missed one entirely.I put both to the frame this time.Think I'm on the right track here?

The only reason I can think of for that harness melting was a current carrying wire somehow or another got shorted to ground.

I'll look through this thread later on tonight or tomorrow morning to refresh my memory. Mot too tired right now after spending 7-1/2 hours running 230V out to the garage.
 
Never did find something that looked pinched or burned on either pod.Of course that ground wire burning could have messed up whatever caused it.In any case I got all new switch gear a new harness so I can't see any reason for a repeat performance:pray:Cleaned up and started reattaching the wiring.Also found the place to put the relay for the for the horn.

Nestles quite nice in the frame on top of the horn mounting plate.Get a fuse holder and I have the rest of the stuff to finish it off.Started this to get the Martek rewired,that still isn't done.:-\\\

Well I decided he was right in the end,had Apex make me this one:

Think the 45 on the caliper end looks way better to.

Got a new reservoir to,just for Dale:D

Been busy with the 750 so the 1000 has been languishing so to reignite my interest I mocked up the 1000 bodywork.


Was going to redo the whole tank and tail.Looking at it today I think I'll just carefully sand these down and redo them with a can of 2K.

I think I put this the wrong way:eek:The "glovebox" piece doesn't fit right.

Screw set.

Sooke,

Where did you pick up this screw set? Is this just for the engine?
