    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Molded rubber bulb holder

I need at least one molded rubber bulb holder for the tach light. I'll buy one, or six, whatever is necessary.

In the picture, I was standing over the front wheel. The green sheet is covering my gas tank. If the picture is viewed correctly, you can see two round holes in the white back of the tach at 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock. You can see the corner of the front master cylinder on the left.

Those holes are for the bulb holders for the tach lights (2).

In between the two holes, there is one new bulb in an old holder just hanging by it's two wires.

Those 'molded' bulb holders are only available as part of the gauges wiring loom. You could splice in some others robbed off another loom, but I think it would be better sourcing another loom.
 
Rob, if you're good with a soldering iron then it's a simple matter to cut, shrink tube, twist and solder. If you're not then replace it.

It can be difficult to remove those sockets after they've be in there for 30 plus years.
 
Giving them a little dab of WD40 or other thin oil and then using a very small flat tip to go around them and break the seal works relatively good.

By breaking the seal with the screw driver, the oil will wick in as you go around..thus making them easier to slip out of the housings.
