That's a screen cap of the OEM parts page for a 2014 Super Tenere at Rocky Mountain ATV. When I wrote the parts numbers down in my original post, I transposed a "9" for an "8" on the part number for the head. That'll teach me to type without my glasses. Otherwise, the parts numbers you posted...

They may have. Out of force of habit, I checked the parts numbers for a 2014, which is the year of my bike. I wouldn't have thought that a part like that was superseded, but the difference in part numbers sure suggests that it was.

You can order them from Rocky Mountain ATV. If I'm reading the parts diagram correctly, the part numbers are: 14B-28396-00-00 Head $8.57 each 2TK-21757-00-00 Washer, Special 1 $2.91 each It looks like you need one head and two washers for each complete screw assembly...

Sheetrock is an advantage in that it's fire retardant, and it looks way nicer when it's finished, But for my workshop I just think it's overkill, plus it's heavy. And I've hung and finished so much drywall in my life that any reason not to do it sounds good to me. Summer in NC is starting to...

Do you mean sheeting, or sheathing? My current plan is to finish the interior with OSB, rather than drywall. I've seen those diesel heaters on a lot of the "van life" youtube channels, and they seem like a good option. Probably better that the old kerosene heater I used to use at my house...

Thanks, Tenforeplay. I'd also prefer mineral wool batts over fiberglass; I think I put about five miles of that stuff in my old house where I re-did all the wiring, insulation and drywall, and I don't fancy working with it again. I didn't know anything about houses when I started that...

@Mak10, you seem pretty familiar with building techniques, so maybe you can provide some guidance for me. I have a 12' x 20' prefab shed set up above ground on block pillars. At the moment the shed has neither power nor insulation. It's the standard 2x4 wall and rafter construction you find in...

I'm more inclined to think that corrosion on the contact points in a switch would cause a switch not to make contact and consequently not complete a circuit to make a horn go off. But since water with dissolved minerals in it (like rainwater) can provide an electrical path, I suspect that the...

Back in 2023 I was on a trip where I rode in pouring rain for the better part of an entire day. The next morning I had a weird electrical glitch where the ECU light came on, and the TCS shut off and couldn't be turned back on. The bike ran fine, and after it warmed up a bit during a ride, the...

I think the second figure from the left is meant to symbolize the futility of man's existence. That's really the only conclusion I can draw from a totem whose arms are so short that he could never reach his penis.

I hear you there, ZigZag. "Chaos Fatigue" is a very real thing. All you can do is disconnect and go for a ride.

Yeah, that's the same one I watched, the one that was reposted on the New York Post site. That looks more like about 40' from the bridge surface to the water than the 20' that was in the Post headline. I've been in floods, and watched a lot of flood footage from all over, and I've never seen...

Grateful Dead-A-Doodle-Do!

Anyone here know American Sign Language? The position of the fingers made me think of that.

I've been watching some of the video taken in Texas, and I've never seen river levels rise that fast. I watched one that was reposted by the New York Post; it doesn't identify where in Texas it was taken, but you can actually watch the wave of flood water sweep down the river and then the river...
