    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.

      Yeah, I may have to do that if I want to get everything working 100%

        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.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
