    Solinoid rapid clicking but starter not turning over

    Certainly not out of the realm of possibility that a bad connection to the battery or solenoid could be the problem. Either the positive or the ground side should be checked for secure, clean, uncorroded connection

    Is it just me

    Untold hours observing the Moon. Spend some time with Jupiter. Watching the Galilean Moon dance, transits, shadow transits, occultations, can be endlessly entertaining. But you refer only to solar system objects. There's a whole lot more up there than just the Moon and planets. Under a dark sky...

    Yeah, they are definitely conversation starters.

    1st Gen V-Max 86 Vmax

    I had a good buddy with an M109. As @Fire-medic says, he was "easily dispatched" with my well-sorted 94.

    Phoenix dragstrip to be demolished

    Went there for years when it was still called Firebird. Haven't been in a while. Hadn't heard about this! Thanks for the bad news. 😩

    Is it just me

    Copernicus lived out his days under house arrest after the Cathlolic church found his science refuted the long-held belief that the earth was the center of "creation". Galileo suffered the same fate (house arrest) after proving Copernicus right with his feeble telescope. Interesting story...

    Now let's imagine what a Webb Ultra Deep Field is gonna show. (Actually, it'll just be more galaxies, only even more unimaginably distant from our little Milky Way, and Closer to the Edge to paraphrase Yes)

    Is it just me

    For the record, I have been a passionate amateur astronomer more than two decades. I have literally a room full of astronomical gear with instruments ranging in aperture from 50 to 300mm. I have spent countless hours under dark, dry desert skies peering upward. I have detailed logs of...

    Waste YOUR time??? First of all, the random, disjointed, usually irrelevant posts that you make here on a daily basis have wasted everybody’s time. Unless they’ve gotten wise and don’t bother to open them… Secondly, the link you provided above supports what I said in post #10! Not sure how...

    Problem is, it’s pretty easy to disagree with somebody who is wrong most of the time. If you spew wrong information, expect disagreement. I don’t care if you don’t care, but wrong is still wrong. Get it right before you get it wrong.

    I really wish you would stop spreading misinformation. I belong to several Goldwing forums and am quite active on at least two of them. 75, 76, 77 were essentially identical. The first real changes came in 78 and they were performance related. Not sure where you came up with the factoid that...

    What are these design problems of which you speak? This is news to me.

    I’ll never have one newer than my 78.

    Too bad he’s not asking 500 bucks. Bit of trivia here, I lived in a rented cottage on Lake Weir in the “thriving metropolis” of Ocklawaha for a number of years. I remember being rudely awakened from a hung over slumber one Saturday morning by the sound of what seemed to be World War III right...

    Carb covers cleaning

    Oven cleaner is also very effective at removing that clearcoat.

    Exactly! I installed that kit on my ‘86 and I am very, very happy with it.

    Have you obtained or are you prepared to fabricate adapters for the calipers selected?

    Other Project Done

    Motorcycle customization, I realize, is a very personal thing. Purely subjective and reliant on the whims of the owner. But I am definitely not seeing where you changed the personality and character this motorcycle from a cafe to a cruiser. All you did was replace the cans and handlebars. By...
