Hi gang;
I remember seeing on one of the parts sites a chromed handlebar clamp. It was a solid one piece instead of the 2 smaller black pieces. Any ideas where I can find on of these again? Thanks, DrMark

I dom't know if this is what your looking for, but I believe it was an EMGO i got from my local shop>>stock item.

Thats what I was looking for. Something like this item.

Thanks, you said it was an EMGO product? I'll see if I can find one for my CB550.

What's that little red LED or switch on the left side of your headlight bucket? Nice looking bike - let's see more pics of it.

Is that a "Shift Light?"

More likely a high-beam indicator given the lack of idiot-lights.

chippyfive50 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 01, 2005, 07:52:23 PM »

it is on a 500,I will see if i can find where I got it. The little red button on my headlight bucket is the starter switch. When I put the new low and extra wide bars on (sorta like a 60's triumph) I put the coil power(on/off) , the headlight low/high/off, and the push starter button in the headlight bucket to clean up the bars(and eliminated the tunsignals and horn). The aftermarket tach only had one idiot light gel, so I made it the oil pressure light. Here are a few pics.......,

cheers...

Is the foot an optional extra (and where can I get a chrome plated one?)

Seriously, you have no speedo? Illegal in UK (I think)

It is a historical vehicle(see plates) over here in the colonies...."gee officer, back in the 20th century the didn't all come with spedos and turn signals..." hey mister, whats that lever thingy on the side of the motor....

That is one sweeeeeeeeeeeet bike... drool drool.

Very slick. I know here in the beer swilling North, people get away with running those little bike-computer speedos. Clip a sensor to a spoke, a sensor on the fender support and bob's your uncle. Instant speedo (and odometer, clock etc. etc.).

Mikesxs.com has what you're looking for. I've used two of them on my bikes. Price is reasonable and you can remove thje gold eagle if you wish.

pete,the clamp i saw is for a yamaha 650,will that fit the honda too?

Tim. · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2005, 11:22:44 AM »

I am sending them an email asking for dimensions. I'd pick one up myself - free shipping on $35 orders. Wonder what else they have...

dusterdude · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2005, 11:44:19 AM »

looks like they might have some cool stuff

chippyfive50 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2005, 07:54:25 PM »

DrMark · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2005, 08:48:34 AM »

Cycle Re Cycle is where I thought I saw them also.....but, I didn't see them listed there anymore. Should have bought one last year when I first thought about it....lol

http://www.wingthings-texas.com/gl1100.htm#DragSpecialties
lists that part, but says that it's discontinued.
they also list:

798-162 Upper Handlebar Clamp - $16.95 (picture)
Chromed upper handlebar clamp for '80-'83 models. Not for '83 Aspencade. Gold eagle emblem included. Sugg Retail $19.95

on that same page, which is supposed to be for the same years and models of goldwing, so presumably this should also fit.
(picture link goes to: http://www.wingthings-texas.com/UpperHandlebarClamp.jpg ). Gold eagle emblem may be included, but it's
not shown as being integral on the picture, so no scraping emblems should be required.

The auction says the emblem is riveted on - did you want the emblem on the clamp?

cben750f0 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 25, 2005, 05:17:00 PM »
