I received my new to me 1992 1500 SE on Monday and I've been going over it and am learning a lot. There are a couple questions that I haven't found the answers for so here they are.
I noticed that the right hand passenger storage compartment on my bike will not open. The previous owners said that's the way the bike was built and that even though there is a release latch it is not meant to be a storage compartment and was just put there to match the other side. I find this strange but is that in fact the case? I'm wondering if they needed the space because the release lever for the passenger foot pedals is just below the compartment. Anyway I do not sit back there but I am curious about it. When showing the bike to my friends everyone always tries to open that compartment and it's sort of strange to tell them it's just there for show.
Number 2 - I was surprised to find that I don't have any rear speakers even though the enclosures are there. Again the PO said they were not there when he purchased the bike. I also note that there is no fader control on the radio which seems to suggest there might have been an upgraded radio that came with rear speakers? Does this radio have an output for a second set of speakers or would I need to run them in parallel with the existing set? Again this is not something that I'm planning to do but I am curious about it and if speakers can be added without hacking into the existing wiring I may consider it. I did remove the top of the left side enclosure and there is no sign of speaker wires.
BTW I did use the search button and came up empty on both questions but sorry if this has been asked before.
Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.
Thanks
