    Thanks to Everbody

    Much Thanks to TopCat and Dbeard for there help. That did it, I sanded the point where the housing met the bars and bingo, fired right up. I got to ride today for the first time in 8 months, it was awsome and all my mods worked the way I hoped.

          Complete luggage set $65.00

          That pic is before the paint other stuff but the bags are straight from home depot, They are bolted to the stock venturer mounting brackets for the yamaha bags. and yes they work great, kinda has an adventure bike look.

            Glad you got her going. That's a beautiful bike. So where's the pics with the new paint and bags? We can't live vicariously through you without the pics!
            I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

                  Mack IS spot on. Also make sure ALL other ground locationd sre free of paint and shiney.
