Leon,

I hate to be anti-Canadian (after all they did not side with the US on the
Iraqi thingy...but we won't go there :-)) but we're all going to Virginy.
How about you dial in the compas to point south with a little east. We

very easily have 20 Loops there.

that weekend. Leon Karlak

Gary,

You going to get time to come to the Virginia

Rally at the end of June?
Why

don't you and Tom shovel the snow from the drive

and ride down. I'll be

there.....Andy Hill, Charlie (I think) too. Should

be a good Loop turn
out.

Subject: RE: Head Light


Leon and Allen , Email me your addresses and I

will send you some

relays.
JC Whitney sells a REAL GOOD quality H-4 lamp

assembly . It is sold as

the one with a leaded crystal lens. I use old

Cibie H'lights and they

are near impossible to find . The Whitney light

looks for all the world

to have been made by the Cibie company or FOR

them. It has real high

quality glass and exceptional silvering. The

light is priced well below

the Hella lamp that is actually not as well made

(IMHO).

By all means do the relay conversion and as

already suggested a

separate feed to the bat is a real good idea .

Since the control voltage

for the relay coils is coming from the original

headlight supply there

will still be no worry of leaving the light on

by accident.

Take the time to clean and lube the 169 switch

in any event. Most of

the 169 failures stem from dirty contacts and/or

a plunger spring that

has lost it's strength due to rust or heating.

Clean all traces of

corrosion and lube with a bit of anti sieze on

the cotact surfaces and

pivot points. The 169 will serve many years if

maintained or it can go

up in a whiff as soon as lack of maintenance

catches up with you.
