My bracket broke :(

definitely have to look out for each other....     

Our network worked pretty good when Henry had his deer strike on the southern part of skyline dr also.


good karma goes a long way....  pay it forward whenever you get a chance.



KOokaloo!

Yea, I remember that, what's it been, 10-15 years now?  What a mess. Didn't he cut the deer in half?  Even though hurt, he was still very very lucky.
Those bloody pictures....aggggghh.

Remember Nobby's ignition problem on his 89 FJ several years ago. Calvin took off of work, went and got his trailer, picked up Nobby and his bike. He took him home and changed all mater of parts, fed him and let Nobby ride his 97 to boone the next day. Once Calvin and Nobby's bike showed up in Boone a pit crew of folks had it running in minutes. I'd like to see another group more willing to help a brother out....

I remember a few years ago when Marsh offered to send me his fuel pump when mine died the day before I was to ride to Indy for the first ever Moto GP races.

Great folks indeed!!!!!

i cant find it in my clymers manual, can i just take the bracket off by itself? or do i have to take other things off while its on a center stand or something?
thanks for the help!

also, what do think this was for?

[Pat Conlon]

You can take your right side bracket off without removing the swing arm pivot bolt. Just take the nut off. (Note: it's different to remove the left side bracket, you have to remove the swing arm pivot bolt)
IOW everything should just unbolt and the bracket will come off
You need to unbolt the rear brake master cylinder (just unbolt and let it hang, don't disconnect the lines) and stoplight switch and remove all the NOS switches and pressure gauge

I suspect the red NOS switch and light on the left side is for a bottle heater.  Cheers

I was going to guess either the smoke screen or the oil slick...   but Pat is probably right.

woohoo!

I was equally curious as to what all those switches are for.  Three switches and a guage?  I'm guessing the same as Pat.  Interesting place to put them though. 

[Carterc]

yah i really have to reach to get them, and why would you take your hand off the throttle to hit the nos? isnt that counter productive?

[Scooterbob]

Exactly. I would never run NOS on a bike, but if I did I would put it a lot closer. Maybe it was l.e.d. lights?

[Pat Conlon]

Heh heh, no Chris you don't reach down.
When the giggle gas hits you don't even think of taking your hands off the bars.
The bottle heater on the left is used intermittently it draws a lot of wattage, the gas and fuel switches on the right (assuming a wet system) activate the system and are set to "on" before the run. The gauge reads bottle pressure.

There should be a button on the left handgrip which fires the system. Don't see it?  I bet your horn doesn't work huh?
The horn button is the most convenient button to hot wire for a NOS system.

[Carterc]

THATS WHY MY HORN DOESNT WORK!?!?
