No, i bought the SL from our MPP’s grandson (Dave Mackenzie is a huge Mopar guy and his shop was like a museum!). I just meant I bought another bike…
I have a 2002 Kawi Concours I’d sell you. Already stripped naked and runs like a champ! lol
Picking the bumper skin up this afternoon. I’ll drop it off at Cochrane Autobody later this afternoon and hopefully have it back by the weekend for rebuild.
Buying another bike from Dave – 80ish Yamaha 650 Maxim.
Should just need a little love to get her cleaned up and running. No pics, as I haven’t picked it up yet.
The grille came in already! It looks great!

So now that I’ve got my “new to me” grille and trim ring looking good, I just bought a present for the truck. I felt I needed to give her a treat since her injury:

That’s a crazy price for seals! I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $40 for seals and dust covers combined.
Can’t remember any other Japanese models because it’s been so long since I’ve had any… Haven’t really torn into the old Honda SL yet and it’s so old, likely not a good comparison to anything. lol
Kawis I’ve had have 1 ground that attaches on the ignition coil nut. Only other ground goes to the battery post. There’s a “more power” mod that grounds one of the igniter grounds back to the battery instead of the frame (or wherever it goes…think it’s just where it’s bolted somewhere through a random part).
From what I’ve seen all accessories (lights, signals, horn, etc) have their own ground (male/female) connection.
There may have been a male lead from the battery that connected to that female lead… If it’s (-ve), wouldn’t hurt to run a lead from the battery with a male connector to see what happens and if anything isn’t working.
Nice! I give 5 star ratings to places that screw up, but have great customer service and fix issues immediately.
Got the grille, trim ring and lower panel painted flat black. All turned out great, except for the trim ring… I’ll have to sand that down and try again.
Also going to try to JB Weld the tabs back on the headlamp this weekend, when I can leave it for a day to cure.
Did they send the wrong ones? I haven’t had that happen yet – I always order older stuff through FortNine and newer through my local Kawi dealer, Cycle One.
I think we’re going to wait till summer – warmer temps and less bugs… Wanna bring the dog along, so I’ll be taking the new Taco. Old one should be sold by then.
