Ron,

I will send a wiring diagram - hopefully for that switch which may help figure out part of it anyway.

I will do that this evening.

Took the Atlas out for its last ride of the season. 6 months of hibernation 'til springtime.

Hibernation?

Does not compute...  Tongue

When we get the beautiful, sunny day in January, you'll regret not having it on the road.

   I agree. My Norton just loves cool air. Collector plates year round rock!

Went for a ride on the Goldthing, met a nice guy on a pristine CB1000.

Discovered that the battery in the 'wing is on the way out.

Washed the bike when I got home.

I went down to BCIC to register the B4 but they won't register it because the guy I bought it from didn't have a bill of sale from the guy he bought it from (his brother) back in 1998.  Luckily both are still available to do the paperwork.  Maybe next Saturday I'll have it on the  road....assuming no rain.

After trying to deal with my motorcycle parking problem I uncovered the XT and thought I'd see if it would start...fired right up so I took it up the road, never road it when I bought it, think it's moving up on the project list  Grin

Tinkered with the 83 today.... oil and filter change, cleaned the sump screen and swapped in some new sparkplugs.



Then I ran it with no exhaust pipes on it... love it! Wondering if someone makes Zoomy headers for bikes now....

Looking forward to seeing that one as well Chris.

We will have to snap a couple Coke caps and admire it at some point.

Thanks Barry but it might not be up to your garage standards, this was just a quick cosmetic cleanup...as you know these Turbo bikes are complicated and I didn't want to open a can of worms considering it ran well, so a little touch up here and there, new tires and brakes etc...so I'll have to park it at the end of the driveway when I swing by for a visit Smiley
