Does anyone have an extra "Part 21"?

Does anyone have an extra "Part 21"?

I agree w/fastpakr-take the part from the clutch switch & use it on the brake,then unplug wires from clutch(mine are in headlight shell-80-850).Now bike will start w/o pulling in clutch.Hope this helps.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't required.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm suggesting - use the clutch switch components to make the brake light switch work properly to get through inspection.

Ah okay, kewl!

Wait, that won't work because the bums were looking for the clutch lockout device the last time I took it in.
I'll try it since they already passed that part of the inspection though hehe...Thanks!!! I didn't know there was a little "Part 21" inside that part of the bike!!!

ROCKIN!!
:D

width matters too as that is what helps hold it square in the area where it goes and also then to help it slide back and forth.[/quote]

You're damn right it does! :wink: :lol: :lol:

Seriously dood, instead of butchering or modifying your bike and removing features there is no need to remove simply take 10 minutes and just make the little piece and be done with it.

If you lived closer to me I'd whip one out for you tonight.
Should take all of 5 to 10 minutes to make that part.
 
WEll, the piss poor weather in Maryland is (ONCE FRICKIN AGAIN) delaying my ability to repair the switch.

And due to my wife, fabrication of the piece was out of the question last night. Why does it seem that the only place I get anything bloody done is at work 40 miles from home!?!

Seriously, if someone had told me that being married required constant attentive support of your spouse I would have seriously reconsidered marriage. :roll:

At this rate i'm going to have to start finding ways to steal away and get stuff taken care of.
 
Might be time to just cut the check and order a whole new switch buddy.

Sounds like time is in even shorter order than money in your life right now :(

I feel for you man. But you gotta do what you gotta do you know?

I hope it all pans out OK.

HAH! :lol:

Just wait until you have KIDS! You think the wife wants attention... 8O Then there is the bills that the kids generate. There is no stopping it now. I look back to when I was single and I wonder what I did with all the spare time. I used to wash my bike EVERY saturday morning and go for a ride, just for the he!! of it... Now I'm lucky if I can find time to change oil in my vehicles just to keep them running right... Wash my bike, what's that? :)

Ok, seriously, Detman, I just found I had to get super organized and schedule things and think about where to find the time I needed. It's not always easy (never?!), but you will get better at the juggling act. Try sending your wife to the movies with her friends, or on a night out or similar. I get more done when my wife goes out for the night, even though I have to do the houshold stuff and get kids in bed myself than when we are working together. Man, there is nothing like a few hours of peace and quiet in the garage to make you feel right again...

Yes, I'm scared of having a kid after experiencing what life is like with an adult around me 24-7.

Eventually I know it will come to pass as the wife is eager to start a family.
:roll:

But, I will improve on my "Time Management" skills by finding her things to keep her busy. :lol:

Rock on!
 
UPDATE!!!!

UPDATE!!!!

WOOHOO!!! IT'S FIXED!!!

I followed your instructions Hoomgar, but I used the metal arms of a broken clock we have here at work.

I took my dykes and clipped the flat part of the clock arm into a rectangle.
Then I bent it to shape with my needle nose pliers and fit it over the spring in the switch. I superglued the spring to the little peg that it sits on to reduce any risk of the spring falling out whilst upside down during installation. I also put a drop on the metal-slider piece that I made from teh clock arm. The whole piece was good to go.
I streched out the spring a little to give it some extra tension inside the handlebar and installed.

VIOLA!!! Worked out just fine!
AND best of all...it cost nothing!!

:D :D :D :D

I'm going to see if I can get out of here early and go get my bike reinspected again.

:D :D
