I am certain, Sir, that I detect the scent of a package of Cheese Nips in your saddlebags.

........and if you don't hand them over, post haste, I'll be forced to lift my leg on your tire!

Aw...  thanks!

I was there this afternoon.  I didn't see you around and it was quiet so I didn't want to wake you in case you were napping, so I left.

Side note...  CRAZY amount of loose connectors on this thing...  The primary case bolts were almost all loose.  The gas tank bolt under the seat was missing.  There was only one of two seat bolts on it.  There are threaded holes all over it that are missing bolts.  No idea what they were or if they were important but I'm working on it.  CHECK YOUR FASTENERS!!!  I know it's common convo to check them, but it can't be overstated enough.

I got cocky once a few years ago and just assumed I'd know when I had a loose fastener that was important, until I found my steering head bolt physically loose and turnable by finger tips...

Oh, and I discovered that it did have either a trailer or sidecar at some point...  there is a 4-pin flat trailer wire connector hiding under the tool box cover... unless someone tells me that was stock?!  It's a good, clean install...

Decent work for a carpenter, when are you coming up to measure my deck and talk about the work your doing for me on that....

I did consider it...  Still am. My local dealer is pretty good, may even have one...  But that hole is threaded and I can tell there as something once there so I used it.

This is the latest version:

Did you think to order part #92037 and put it into the hole I marked and see if that helps I know your a Master Carpenter but sometimes......you just need a little help......

My wiring passes through the same area and I just retape it every year.

For now, 'til I get some wire wrap around it...

It wasn't obvious either.  Just coincidentally caught my eye... those pretty, colourful wires weren't showing, there was chewed up electrical tape covering them.  It was the frayed ugly tape that caught my eye.  I took a few ripped pieces off and notices the wires underneath had been pinched but not broken.

Quick question...  I just discovered that there is a bracket/harness missing that clamps the wiring harness that feeds into the headlight.  REALLY glad I noticed because the wiring bundle was being pinched at the steering lock...  pending disaster.

Anyone have a pic of what actually belongs there?  (1500, left side frame at steering head)

I'm a big fan of staying true to stock for stuff like that, but I may just fab somethign anyway...  just want to know what it actually looks like.

 :o Sussex...  LOL

No...  A client's house. Out measuring jobs today...  One of the very few days that my job and the weather work together for me to be able to ride during the day!

Which probably means it will start raining around 4-ish...

No...  Instead I go to a web site, pay premium dollar in U.S. Funds, add shipping, and end up with probably not much better than what you have, if any.  :-\

I do like it though...  Wicked strong, but ya I could have done it way cheaper.

And wait...  I think I got it when our dollar was actually HIGHER than the U.S. Dollar!

I wouldn't have had to go anywhere. I have a ton of that crap around the house...
