Replacing broken rubber turn signal stalks - Page 5

 
They come through the mounting stud. I guess the picture is without
wires.


Mount stud on the left and on the right is where it is attached inside
the rubber part. There is a screw... This is exactly the part that
break. If your blikers are just like mine were (with longer stalk),
there should be a rubber part right where it attach to the bike, about
2cm wide, then the stalk. Every time, this rubber part broke (snapped
right on the mount stud -left side-) and the bliker would dangle. The
stalk was always fine.

My current street bike has the same part, however completely different
blinkers. When the rubbers broke, I had trouble finding this rubber
locally, so I got the entire blinker (about 5usd) and dumped
everything but this part.


around 1USD = 1.75BRL, or 57cents for 1 Real

I would guess shipping around 10USD...

These parts are aftermarket and they are part of the top selling bike
of all time (the mighty Honda CG125, too bad you guys at U.S. never
got it, it is the closest thing as "indestructible motorcycle" there
is out there), with millions sold around the world. This site doesn't
do enough justice for it's qualities:

From that site, this is the biggest understatement of the century.
Real life is much worse... :)

"They continued to use oil even after it had turned into goo," Inagaki
said, "and the paper filter elements in the air cleaners would become
solid as a dirt wall from all the dust. The drive chains would be
stretched out to their maximum adjustable lengths, and were worn and
torn from hitting the chain case. The examples of such abuse went on
and on. One after another, we saw spectacles we'd never even imagined
possible from our home base in Japan."

A co-worker didn't know you were supposed to oil the chain.  He had a
fine spray of iron oxide all over the rear of his motorcycle.  I told
him I wouldn't take his new computer to his home unless he walked across
the street, bought a can of chain lube and USED it before we left.

He went on to make pots of money and marry a big-name anchorlady.
Smarts comes in many forms.

Smart is *highly* overrated. The real smart guys are the ones that
everybody else think they aren't. These are the ones that work less
and make more money. I'm getting tired of being regarded as "smart"
and having the odd all-nighters projects *all* assigned to me, the
"dumb" folks that work with me seldom stay after 5pm. I'm owing a
translation job and I can't for the life of my loved ones stand
turning the computer at home, but I will get it done, eventually. :)

I need vacations again, or riding my CG for a few thousand miles, or
even run away screaming...




ouch! talk about my reality right over there!

Also: zombieware: they see the light of the day, but they are only
trouble, you'd better had them killed right away, they refuse to get
completely "live"!

"If you want something done, give the job to the guy who's already
busy."  Bastards.  If I'd been smarter I would have made a point of
always grabbing the wrong end of the screwdriver.


Last actual 'vacation' I took I called the office once a day to find out
if we'd won the contract.  Pay phone, before cells.  We lost.  Feh.


You might not want to.  Google 'Trygve Lode" for an interesting
experience.


Governments too :-(
