Newbie here.

[Yeti]

New here, just saying high. My GF picked up a 1982 with only 3,900 miles on it last year as her very first bike. I think I love it more then she does. :D

But she had a little spill on the bike [she's fine] that I'm trying to take care of in the tech forum. :'(

Before the get off.





After the get off but I'll spare you the pictures of the tank. :'(

Welcome. I just got a Vision too. Sat for 12 years. I rode it Sat and while turning around on gravel the front tire locked up. Looks like some brake work is in order. I broke my LF turn lens and scratched the upper fairing all to hell. The bike survived 28 yrs without a scratch and i have it for a week and it's all banged up. Anyway, good luck with yours!

You can probably find a set of gauges on eBay but they will be as old as the ones you just trashed.  There is the possibility of the Vapor unit from TrailTech, like Treedragon is using.  Pretty universal unit and not too spendy.

Also do a search in the archives for the system that David (YellowJoacket) is using.  Looks pretty nice.

That's probably okay with her as long as you don't love the bike more than you do _her_...  8*)

Bummer.   Glad she's okay.   Bikes can be fixed, and don't bleed.

Also take care of that rear-brake tension-bar mounting bolt thingie before you or she ride it again, okay?   See Lucky's sticky-post in the Tech forum.   Hate to see one of you have another spill on the heels of this one, and if those bolts fail, it could be disastrous for bike or rider.

I love that World's Largest Soup Kettle.  Where is that exactly?

Nice luggage rack on the Vision, too.   I've been looking for one like that.

Anyway, welcome aboard, and good luck with the repairs.
