It could also be in the way the wattage is measured. 600 Watts peak to peak is 300 Watts peak which is about 210 Watts RMS.

:cheeky: :whip: I'm feeling really stupid these days...........Earlier in this thread you will find me complaining about how hard it is to remove the headlight/turn signal brackets from the forks.....dropping the forks out, dropping the front wheel off.......
Maybe if I smarted up some, I would have read up on how to do this! (You dummy) You don't need to drop "everything" off the front end. You remove the top of the triple tree exposing the forks and SLIDING the brackets onto the forks! :whip: :rtfm:
Well.....if that isn't a lot easier than trying to manhandle those brackets in while shoving the forks back up from underneath.... :heat: :smilie_happy: :Awe: :cheeky:
:doh: :hihihi: LOL

Well I didn't know that, never done it and never seen it done or read how it's done so there. That's my excuse, but I know now :yes:

A rubber fork cover came in the mail today from a Member over at NGW!! :thanks:
All of the pieces are in to make the conversion! Now, to just get through this kidney operation and start back working on the bike! :whip:
(BTW, I went last Tuesday and the operation was not successful. Trying again this Tuesday. Hoping 2nd time is a charm because I don't feel real charmed right now!)

Last doctor procedure finished today! Pain is 1/2 of last week so the road to recovery is open!! In the meantime, while laying around in pain I have acquired a few items from Ebay and Amazon.com. Just received a trailer hitch for a Standard!! :yahoo:
Also, ordered some Flitz polish to see how well it will work on the valve covers without a buffing wheel.
(Worked pretty good!! Read about it here with pics..)

Finally on the mend and back to work on the project! (Thanks for the prayers guys!!) :thanks:
Much of the bike is apart and the engine is about ready to come out. While draining the radiator, I decided to check the water pump since I know it is original to the '83 engine with a bakelite impeller. Wasn't in bad shape 5 years ago when I put the engine in, but the bike has gained some 22,000 miles since then.
Check for any play and BEHOLD.....IT IS MOVING AROUND!! :rant:
Looks like I'm installing a new water pump while the engine is out...... :cheeky:

This sure is easiest time to do it with front of engine propped up.
The first one I did was with engine in the frame.
What a pain that can be.

If your going to rebuild the pump Gerry, try to pick up a metal impeller pump, I was going to rebuild this bake lite one until about five minutes ago. I noticed a very slight looseness of the impeller on the shaft and closer, I mean real close inspection revealed why. Barely visible hairline cracks.
