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.

How much of a PITA was that light to wire up?

No i dont think the stock 4into2 comes apart..aside from the crossover pipes. What about some header wrap to clean it up some? Just a thought. Im sure you should be able to sort that out..as Snowbeard, i think he recently dealt with ITS and i dont think that he had to have it inspected. Different laws in different states, but i think they send you a tagable title in which case there is no inspection involved, at least here.

now by tagable title? that means?

if it's an out of state title then it will need to be inspected. if they can get it titled in ca FOR ME then i'm good to go.

for the headlight it still uses h4 bulbs so there's that plug , and if you want to run a city light that they have for you then just run it into ground and then switched on.

Tagable...meaning its as good as the real title...from what ive read about it, they get a letter of title from a state that doesnt title vehicles our age. Then they send you a letter to show the DMV that explains what the letter of title is..thus rendering it completely legal.

Now...wtf is a city light?
 
And on top of that there are guys over in the Do The Ton forum im in that have Honda SOHC4s that early on had no VIN plate on them...and they get tags and plates all the time.
 
a city light is like a parking light. it's on these headlights. now you KNOW these don't have hids when I send them to you. lol. but they can fit hids and will have a nicely focused beam.



hmm. if they don't actually register it in cali I will be screwed. if it's titled in another state first or if it just says it's a-ok i'm gonna seriously doubt it'll work WITHOUT getting inspected by senor chp.

I will try getting ahold of them again.


i'm also seriously looking into the whole lien thing as my buddy owns a shop and will lien sell it to me for his costs. (like 100 bucks worth of paperwork)

true but if a bike never had one then it's cool , if the bike was supposed then uh oh. I wanna say like 1970 for bikes. but it may be earlier or later than that. i know at the latest it's 74.
 
Well there ya go! that may be your ticket...worse comes to worse and nothing works for ya...i'll be lookin for that motor...hehehe..but im sure you'll find something to work out. So they just have standard halogen bulbs in em now? and the housing is pretty strong and looks good? I saw the one on your bike and it looks sweet, but i didnt know if you had to mod anything to get it to work out.

NOICE... Now that's caffinated.... Bah I was about to grab the camera to upload the pics I took today but alas I can't find it. I think my mom has it in her room.... Got some other gauges?
 
Yeah those are stock 77 gauges..dunno if im gonna go with them or not...the only bonus is they go to 140MPH and they would allow me to move my ignition switch to the original position. BUT they are kinda bulky and are ugly when you pull the dummy light assembly off. I kinda like the way the gauges i got from you look with the center console stuff popped off of em.

What you dont like the orange?
Yes they are kind of ugly without the black plastic,kind of remind me of Darth Vader unmasked.
I think if you could re-route the wires a little and put a cap on the backs of the individual gauges maybe a little black paint and they would look good. Something I have thought of doing with mine anyway,if I ever get to fully cafenating my ride.
 
hey hey same mirrors I've got.


I need to get levers and front master off a newer gixxer
 
heh wait till you two pups get my age..i work on 4 or 5 and im fine for a week or so...but it will catch up with me after that. Not so much tiredness, but my body revolts, small aches and pains i have daily become BIG aches and pains.
 
I think my other problem is that I have to many projects, and I keep thinking up new ones. I blame it on A D D

I had considered that when i took them apart to clean them, but i dunno what to use to make a cap....just hosing them down with some paint might not be a bad look either...they dont look bad orange, as the bike on the Clymer manual looks sweet..but i think the orange would clash with my black and brass...lol
