*********the shop didnt find anything so i decided to resort to the little bit of eletrical enginneering that i know. Bigger wires can carry more load without as much resistance = less heat. I took my old stator, cut it all to peices, rewired it from 16/18 gauge wire to 12 gauge wire, installed it, and rode 400 miles in the last two days with a "hell yea" performance. Sure its just a band aid but it frucking works at city speed, high way speed and 140+mph. good enough for me. Wish i would have known that $800 dollars ago.***********

Glad to hear. Like you said though, too bad you had to waste the 800 clams.

Thanks guys! all i gotta say is damn it feels good to be back on the road. i rode another 150 miles today. Putting on a new tire tomorrow along with chain and rear sprocket  that shiz has been sitting in the garage since i had no need to install it while it was broke down. Planning to ride to virginia here in a couple weeks and hit the country twisties! and then stay with a friend at an all girls college

HC, good to hear that you are back on the street.
Diablo, perhaps you need a valve adjust..? If you were local I''d just swap the CCT for you. For some reason they are not too bad for me to replace... I''m not gloating, just saying.

oh boy, i think i know that college, have never been there though, but have met some of the young ladies. you better duct tape your schlong to your leg or you could get embarrassed walking around campus. Or the police may escort you and your "billy club" off the premises.

Thanks anyway man. I got the CCT in and will be replacing it this weekend. If it is still crying then a valve adjust will prolly be my next step. I''ll keep you guys posted.
CONGRATS HC! i hope mine works out half that good.

Well, my luck continues ... I replaced the CCT and the knocking sound just laughted back at me. I plan on taking the head off next to look at the valves. If I see nothing else then it will be living at my local honda dealer for the next little bit. I appreciate all of your help and advise.
Now, someone hold my hand while I cry for a little bit .
