1 & 2 (and hopefully 4 {Oh Brian, really? }) are correct...but (look closer) I see 3 as connected to the bottom of the long black vertical plastic channel/tube going up the side of the compressor to the intake port and nothing attached to the outlet (2). No?
Hey, I think you are right there Marty! And I believe the top port is the output of the compressor (going by memory here).
So Here I was thinking that I was done with the mods for this bike for a while.
Pulled the rear wheel and shock absorber then cleaned 40,000 miles of accumulated grime from the rear wheel, swing arm and associated links. Also changed diff fluid.Is doing that kinda crap really necessary? Rode mine to work and back today. Some how, lost an ear plug in the parking lot, and rode home without them. First time on the bike w/o them. WOW, the bike is mechanically much more involved than I ever heard before. Have bad hearing problems, so plugs are a necessity, but what I heard today on the ride home was really cool. I forgot how cool sounding I4's can be....Riding to work again tomorrow, as it gets twice the mileage of my car. Great weather here all week.... tp
Necessary? Absolutely not. Since I'm held captive in my shop while I'm making parts, I try to do something for myself during the time between machining cycles. It also gives me time and opportunity to figure out what parts I want to build for her and what modifications I'd like to make.Great, thanks. The tough part on this forum, is we don't know where anyone actually lives. Warm states, cold states. East, West, North, South?? Just communicated with a member on another forum who is currently under 5' of snow, and it's gonna be 78 here tomorrow. I'm not going to have time to tear apart my bike, as I ride it to work, and have never seen winter salt or sand n grime. I don't think it is a problem that needs addressing. Glad you are able to maintain your Connie in a way that she needs....

Come on down to Texas and enjoy our over 80,000 miles of roads to ride. . . Many at 75 to 80 MPH speed limits, too...

How did the service manual get stuck in the pole barn?
while not as much snow as NE it is pretty solid ice now all the way from the house to the PB......at least a foot or more solid....then when it melts it will be so freakn wet....good thing for traction control! LOL
