I did'nt want to take of the tank yet. I'll try the wiggle. From seeing what I can it all need to be recoverd anyway. There is a plastic cover that fits over the harness end leaving all the plug connections exposed to the full brunt of forward motion. So I guess it looks like sooner rather than later.
I wasn't shure where the flasher was. I figured ther or in that plastic can under the seat. both are jamed packed.
Thanks

It seems pretty sturdy and comfortable for the small amount of time I rode on it. I weigh 180 and the spring shock supported me fine over some pretty good bumps.
Bob, Thanks for the picts of the seat, everyone now and in the future will appreciate seeing it. Tons better looking than our BMW type rubber one. As far as your carb crank breather. Get any carb breather off ebay that is 42 mm as yours will have the hole in it, heres the one I got its about 8 bucks plus they have the original style on fleabay also: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300727369576...84.m1497.l2648

then just take the crank case hose and termanate it with any style of air breather filter you can get at any auto store. I would not want my crank breather going directly in the carb. not sure what they were thinking with this solution. Your jets could get contaminated with sludge and clogged not to mention other potential minor issues like oil in your carb. You could check out my photo album or skullworkz posts to see what we did. EPA crap, thinking they were going to burn off excess oil and fumes. besides the carb is sucking air and will potentally suck a bunch of oil right into your carb on a hot day on a hard run when your oil is thin and hot.:confused1:
You're Welcome, Pics show I've got a lot more cleaning to do. Thanks for the tips on the breather I'll check ot the links.
Don't hesitate to offer any more advice as I can use all I can get.
Bob: Sweet Bike! I love the new seat and gas tank. Th flasher is in the fake oil can under the seat. My bike started doing the same thing with the turn lights staying on but not flashing, there was a short in the flasher when I wiggled the wires on the flasher they started working. I went to the auto store and got a generic flasher and took the circuit board out of it and saudered it in replacement of the stock one just using the stock flasher housing. They work fine now but flash twice as fast, I don't mind though I figure I'm more visible that way, try wiggling the wires on the flasher and see if that makes them come on.
I looked in the can. on mine the starter relay is the first thing you see and it's pretty easy to fool with. the rest of the stuff is in there pretty tight. Is this the way yours is? I can't really tell from looing in there where the flasher is. Should I take the whole can off and remove all the parts?
Mine has a foam or rubber piece with cutouts to hold the different electronic parts, the flasher was just a small black round piece about the size of a normal car flasher but instead of prongs to plug it in directly to a fuse panel it had wires running off it, it looks cramped in there but everything should slide out and stay in place and slide back in pretty easy.
Thanks Babyswiss, mine has what looks like a bracket holding things together that's integral to the can mounting bracket. I think I will find out what's in side it this week end. I work 2/8's and 2/12's with three days off. Along with a off grid solar project I've got going I'll have plenty to keep me busy for awhile looks like.
Thanks again Goodbar, have an air filter coming. Can get a crank case breather from work. I'll post picks when I get that done.

Goodbar, did you get your saddle bags on eBay?
