Re: Idiot v. Motorbikes, Rounds 3, 4, and 5

Re: 1980 r100rt electrical gremlins..
I'd check the earth wire to the regulator. Easy to do.
Dunno your history with airheads, but in case you are unaware, always disconnect the neg at the battery beffore you remove the front cover. You risk shorting the diode board...

Re: instrument fog
Are you using LED lights? I found the fogging was much worse.
Maybe a small bag of silica inside for a trial?
But to answer the question, maybe the way to go is to prevent the moisture getting in? Is the rubber gasket too compressed after 40 years?

Re: New Person

The only real option then was a Dunlop radial @ $250. They lasted about 5K km and in my first year on that bike I did...
