Re: K N Part Number
Hello All; Just thought I would chime-in. The part number for the K N rubber top oval filter is RU-2450. Hopefully this helps.

RE: Sudden buzz
I think the numb fingers problem is due to prolonged gripping of the throttle, rather than buzz. I use a wrist throttle, or whatever it's called -- it's a metal strip 2 inches wide that wraps once around the grip and protrudes a few inches toward you. You rest your wrist on it and can operate the throttle with the heel of your hand, while relaxing your fingers. Lets you move your hand around and keeps it from getting numb. I got it at a Honda place -- they sell them for Wings. Gil H.
Re: Sudden buzz
A friend of mine has one of these for her bike. She has problems with her wrists and elbows and finds it works very well. It is not unsightly either.

More on KN's
Instead of just tying the crankase breather haphazard somewhere to the frame, you should attach one of those little porous stone filters to the end of it. You can get these at aquarium stores and also auto supply stores. This breather tube not only exhales but can inhale as well so you want the end filtered somehow. The porous stone will allow air flow as well as absorb any oil vapors spewed out by the engine. Simply replace the stone filter when you clean your KNs
Honda Hoot Americade
Hey GTS Fans, The Wife and I are going to the Honda Hoot on the Goldwing. staying at the Sleep Inn Biltmore. Look for the Jersey Tags, light green Wing. As for the Americade, might go up for the day. Met some great people last year (my first time). Rode around all day seeing Moose, Beaver and unlike Jersey, didn't see many cars or trucks, just alot of green and asphalt! Will be wearing my colors (Blue Knights). So long for now "CruzinTrooper"

Buzz Clock Grips Weights With the Buzz problem taking interesting ideas I just finished a 60 mile ride after making some adjustments. Stats 93 GTS. 15.6k of total miles on bike. New tires with about 1.5k miles on them. Shock settings by the book set in the lower areas of stiffness on the front. When purchased bike it was way to soft. Before today had the buzz from right grip around 4k rpm which indicates just above 60 mph. It was noticeable and the reason I wrapped solder wire in the groves in the bar end weights several months ago. Past listings covered moving the front brake up against the start switch housing to see the clock. Well, this buzz is frequency. Change the length you change the frequency. So I have moved the front brake housing up against the start switch housing. Moved the clutch up against the left light switch housing. Also added more .020 solder wire from being a depression to being a hump of about 1/8 inch high in the grove that is in the stock bar end weights on the right side only. I can see the clock and after this 60 mile ride the buzz has not vanished but has been very effectively reduced. Still the blood flow to fingers is hampered by the small diameter of the grips. Some ideas of increasing this will be made in the future. This combination may work for some. They can be changed or placed back is the good thing. Hope this works for others. Ken Swartz
