Buzzy's revival: '82 Heritage Special
- Thread starter Boog
- Start date
'Spose it depends on the shape of your head - I find a Bell Bullit comfy and it has a really wide aperture. Good for peripheral vision, though not as wide a Boog's. Got a deluxe edition one like this:
She got me an AHR (BLD-181). I do use the Torc face shields though.
Don't mention McQueen around my wife, she just gets that far away look. Her all time crush.Oh yeah.....you wanna drive and I'll take over shovelling 46th?
hehehehehe
Buzzy got new mirrors today. I was not happy at first with these 'universal' mirrors, they sent me to left hand mirrors. The shaft hole on the right is backwards threads like most other motorcycle mirrors. However, two bar mounts did come with the set and I used one of these for the right hand side.
It's nice to have 2 mirrors
I'm always checking who's behind me
Even in my car I don't want any surprises

Buzzy got a new bugscreen. It is a small, cheap bit
of kit, I'll let you know if spending my lunch money for two days was worth it.
....so you are saying that you are a squarehead Marty?
Funny, I always thought your origin was Swedish....
That is true in part and I know of no German ancestry. I have an alien head! Arai long oval fits best!origin was Swedish....
The rubbers dampers between the bezel and chrome cups need replacing.
Thanks, but I have one now. I just took it off when I put the large windscreen on.
@650Skull, you are so correct. Every chunk of rubber needs to be replaced. So far I've only done the side panel grommets and rear tire.
They are a bit fiddly but easy enough to do. I mentioned it because a lot of times people seem to leave them and then have the face plate screws fall out and that's a whole different ball game. Also you will find they will be a bit, i did say... bit.......less vibration and easier to read
@650Skull said it, but I'll put it another way. Worn dampers on the clocks will kill them.
There's one on the top and two on the bottom of each clock.
Buzzy has lost all eletrical while I am out of state with work. I can jump the starter terminals but no power to ignition.
The bike started after I filled up with fuel and then died as I stopped for a pedistrian.
All battery terminals are tight and clean. I opened the headlight bucket and found nothing wrong there
I'm with a workmate now and we are looking for a trailer to tow back home.

Have you checked your main fuse?
Also your bike should have a side stand safety switch. If a wire came off or the switch is broken that would kill your bike. I’m not the best electrical trouble shooter here, I’m just spit balling. But those would be my first things to check.
Where is the main fuse? I checked the 4 under the seat and they are good.
