Inquiry on K-750 wiring and gearbox, plus damper.
Vance Blosser replied to Trinidad's topic in Nuts 'n' Bolts
Good advice from all. If you are having trouble tracing a wire from one end of the harness to the other, another tool that can help is a cable tracker. It consists of 2 pieces, a signal generator that you clip to the wire, and a receiver that detects the signal and thus the wire. Harbor Freight carries one and they are available at other places too. I would try the other methods listed first as it avoids the expense (about $25 US) but if you aren't having luck this can help. Here's a link to the Harbor Freight one: https://www.harborfreight.com/cable-tracker-94181.html -
Terry Crawford also parts out old bikes and has a good stock of parts.

You did indeed succeed at making a nice looking rig!

Congratulations! I don't think they are making those speedos anymore. -

Ditto on the oil, WD40 doesn't hang around long. Also, if you still have it apart and want to brighten your speedo at night this is the time to do it. Remove the 2 green filters to get a whiter light, the filters remove at least 50% of the light. Also, replacing the incandescent bulbs with LEDs helps enormously but this can be done at any time. -
Sorry for the late reply, my browser had an issue and was NOT showing new pages. Becky was sent home on 12-31 and is doing pretty well. She speaks normally, just forgets a word now and then. She gets around pretty much on her own. She is having a week full of follow up appointments this week, and more in the weeks to come. She has some weakness on the left side but is able to use all limbs.

Thank you.

Becky was improving very well and had an excellent weekend. She had a follow up with her kidney specialist and they were satisfied enough that her next appointment was set for 4 months. However, on the way home she developed some numbness in her elbow which spread to her hand. I took her to the ER and told them I was suspicious of a stroke and this was shortly confirmed. Due to the fact that I got her there fairly quickly she was well within the window where a clot buster drug could help protect her brain and she was placed in the Intensive Care Unit. Yesterday she could speak but had aph

Thanks for the kind thoughts and wishes. We appreciate it.

The breathing issue worsened, called the doctor who referred us to the Urgent Care facility, who referred us to the emergency room. Turned out to be pulmonary edema caused by the discontinuance of the fluid pills. They restarted these and sent her home, her breathing has improved considerably but still has a way to go.

I'm not much for ranting but.... Harbor Freight is stupid!

As well they should. One of the worst things a store manager can do is give the company a bad reputation by disobeying policy. -
Improving slowly. Her kidney function is climbing but the toxins not removed cloud her mind. And she has picked up some kind of cough (not Covid, she was tested) that is slowing her progress, but she is headed in the right direction.

Sounds like you got a bad manager. The local store here would not let that missing box prevent them from ordering another. Good luck with your press. They come in very handy.
