Re: BMW windshield rubber well-nuts

Sorry 'bout that. I think I got P/N: 93495A250.
The original ones were less than 3/4" long, so these were the closest.

AFDirt,
Excellent! How do you like them? I have a set I was gonna install, but the old lights are still working.

Re: No more Petri dish over my tachometer

AFDirt, You might want to try reversing the LED's in the sockets... yeah it does make a difference (polarity-wise), it's covered in some older threads. Aside from that, make sure the plugs are getting power (multimeter check). If all appears correct, maybe put power to the LED's to see if they work ...

Nice! I've only used Heli-coils, but am glad there's a reference in case I can only find Timeserts.

Re: New Horn Recommendation

I installed a Stebel Nautilus Compact last year. It's one of the best safety upgrades I've done to my bike! It will also fit in the stock horn location, you'll just need to fabricate a small bracket for it.

Good luck with the search!

My Grandfather had an electromagnet to de-gauss watch parts, so I used that. Worked GREAT!
Even if the tape wasn't the one you intended to de-magnify (or was just a little too close).

Thanks Mark,
I'll see about getting one of these modified by the local machine shop. (They do good work and charge next to nothing.)

Thanks again!

Re: My Auto-Lite 4164 bottom plug solution

That's a nice solution...

I was wondering if I could get the measurements, outside diameter and how far down/up the socket you ground for clearance.

Thanks

Re: R1150R transportation - Van option?

It's do-able, I loaded my RR in the back of a smallish Ryder Box van. One of the best things I can suggest is to get the best tie-downs you can afford. Length and capacity are the most important criteria for selecting tie-downs. I'd recommend the ratcheting type as apposed to the friction-type tie-d...

The problem is the stock wiring. It's waaay too small to handle the amperage a Stebel (or anything aftermarket for that matter) would require.
