[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 205450, member: 4617"] Another day of not working on the bike, but did have a good afternoon at the local theatre watching a live production of "Grease". Lots of good tunes and an interesting take on the 1978 movie and 1971 live theatre production. Lots of gray hairs on hand. Not all was lost. Picked up the new timing belt tensioners, 15 wt fork oil, and some deionized water to mix new antifreeze. Have all the necessary parts to install and put the front end back together starting tomorrow morning. Picking up the new plugs tomorrow afternoon. Also ordered a 90 amp alternator from DB Electrical. Have read that the alternator is a weak point of the 1500 electrical system. Will travel with the 40 amp I take off as a spare - doesn't take up that much space. Was looking on line at 1500 issues and apparently there was a relay used in the fuel pump circuit on the '88-'89 15002, but Honda rewired the later models so there is no relay in this circuit. This has been known to impact on the ECU so I will be looking into the change to assess what I need and where do you put a relay if installed. Work starts tomorrow morning. Hope to have front end all buttoned up by Saturday night. Cheers [/QUOTE]
