I'm confused... why wouldn't the bosch be compatible? the charging system
doesn't touch the starting system except via the battery.

The rule that you have to use a marelli VR with a Marelli gen is a rule of
thumb. Just a quick way to know you have a properly rated VR in the system.

unless I am wrong and there is some sort of voodoo magic going that I don't
know about.

The boot protectors eh. I have one that is rusted and cracked. But I was
looking at it and it doesn't look all that hard to make. I'll try when I get
some stainless tube



 Z,

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I was told if you have a Marelli
starter, you can't use a Bosch in it's place, something to do with the
electronics of the bike, perhaps a Marelli generator/regulator not being
compatible with a Bosch starter???? Just wanted to mention it just in
case. As for the junkyard, wish there was one this way! If you find
any of those old style "boot guards", those 1/2 moon shaped guards that
bolt onto the valve covers, let me know, I'd like a set!

Thanx!

says he has a bosch. SO saturday I went down and met up and he gave me
the
bosch starter. yes the solenoid goes UNDER the starter.

I ask him how much. He says "See if you can use it. then let me know and

we'll figure something out."

Bitchin.

I stuffed it in my tool roll and headed down to the buckaroo for a beer.

Down there I ran into greg field. I've known him for a while, so it
wasn't
like an odd thing. We get to yakking about my green ambo. And he says he
has
some stuff for me. Next thing I am down in a semi-junk yard/shop ownded
by a
friend of his. and we go digging for the stuff.

Hanging around a junkyard on a sunny afternoon, drinking beer and
talking
bikes. Yeahhh!

why keep having rallies at campgrounds? They should be held in
junkyards.
