vertical mount rear turn signals w/ jesse bags??

[josephgreer]

Greetings all... I'm getting ready to mount an older generation of Jesse Bags (thanks for the great deal wonholly!) on my A12 and would like to hear how other riders with Jesse's have relocated the rear turn signals. Gracias!! - Joe A12 RoboThumper ---------------------------

Of course, it had to happen. Things were going waaay too smoothly with my valve adjustment. Only the left in. and ex. needed replacement. I had just removed the intake shim, and was working on the stubborn exhaust when I read that I should use a fine jeweller's screwdriver to lift the shim. I couldn't persuade the cup to rotate so the slot was accessible, so I took the smallest screwdriver I had and was working it when it slipped out of my fingers and into "the Abyss". This is what I get for not knowing the difference between STUFFING the rag in there and simply DRAPING it over the gaping hole. I moved the rag to get at the cup better and lost the screwdriver down the hole. I got my mini-maglight and spotted the thing hanging precariously between the cam chains. Took a long retrieval magnet and poked it down there, (it was sitting upside down, with blade up) and all that did was allow it to slip down out of sight. I now have a jewellers screwdriver way down deep in my engine. What do I do now? =gc= __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

You may want to try another tool made for grabbing stuff in tight spots. It looks like your magnet deal but has a pushbutton on one end and 3 little fingers that pop out and open up as you push the button. As you release the button, the fingers will retract and grab the item. Napa has them. If that don't work, you can take off the left side cover and expose the bottom of the cam chain. It is detailed on doohickey repair help sites. Best of luck. The only true expert is the one that has made all the mistakes. Larry
