Yes NCB, I am also thinking his bike was modified. Also, according to the wiring diagram, when the turn signal switch is activated, the marker...
Downloaded the gen6 service manual and took a look at the wiring diagram. It shows three wires on the front signal lights, ground, marker and...
OK, not like my gen5. What year? I will try to look at the wiring diagram in the shop manual if I can find it.
If you only have 2 wires on your front signal lights, then they are not marker lights. The voltage is either on or off. The bulbs have two...

NCB, thank you for all the great info you have posted on this thread. I for one have learned from you. IMO you are a master bile restorer. The...

I have gotten 10 years out of a bike battery, and it was still working. Depends on how well it was charged and stored in the off season. I always...

Norcal, it is looking great. Usually just look using my cell phone, but this weekend I used the laptop and I could see a whole new level of...
Yes, I realize that. I have been following the thread from the beginning.
My first oil and filter change on gen5. Not bad, but I think I will be ordering some extra push pins.
This bike is looking really good. How lucky you are to assemble what is basically a new machine. Most of us just end up putting the same old...
