My Gizmo uses extruded U-nuts, of the 10-24 variety. Some of them were getting to be in bad shape, since I've been taking the fenders off and on a lot. I found...
In my research of the Gizmo, I've seen reference to wheel bearing problems, so I pulled the wheels off last week sometime. Front wheels only, since the back...
Hi Fred; When you are tightening those nuts, is this putting pressure on the center bushing portion of the wheel sealed bearing? I noticed that my Gizmo (#29,...
Robert, From what I've been able to determine, the axle carries, from the inside out, a spacer, the inner race of the bearing, a longer spacer, the inner race...
I am in the process of purchasing a used Gizmo from a good friend. Just picked up a new motor from Carl to put in it, since a small short was inadvertently...
Hi Fred and all; The tires are hard to find because the rims are 12" diameter. The P145/70 is also a very narrow tire. For my windows, I roll them up using a...
hey, that's great! Another Gizmo on the road and active to the group too. What number Gizmo is it? I understand the VIN carries the serial number in the last...
My wife found a great drink holder on gimbals at Boater's World for about twelve american dollars. It has three ways to mount, with a tubing clamp, a velcro...
Not sure what the number is, Ill look at the VIN the next time I get out to get that motor in. The Gizmo wont be going far from its current location here in...
Hi Chris, Did you replace the motor because something was burned out or did you not have a motor? Your old motor is very likely still worth something. Give Jim...
It looks like what happened was a ground wire that runs between the rear suspension and the motor casing got pinched at some point and shorted on the motor. At...
Does any one else have the problem of having high beam being dim compared to low beam? Since my NORM circuit is out and being re-engineered I decided to spend...
Hi David; I just tested my Gizmo and it is hard to see the power difference between regular beam and high beam. What I did notice is that high beam has the...
I'm on flat ground and haven't taken the Gizmo out at night yet. Once, but it wasn't quite night, maybe just dusk. I'll have to flick the high-beam switch to...
I seem to recall Carl or someone saying that they thought the headlight was upside down too. It is, however, right side up. I pulled it out, lifted the velcro...
Our experience with installing the head lights is that the "high" beam is just aimed higher, and actually puts out almost the same wattage as the low beam. It...
This isn't velcro, but it's much higher grip strength, called 3M Dual Lock. Gracie's Stuff on eBay has the best prices, about a quarter per piece (perhaps more...
It was on Sylvania's website that I found the wattages. Even at close range against a wall where beam spread is minimal the high beam is significantly dimmer....

Hi Fred, The color of LED should match the lense color. Unlike an incadescent bulb, LEDs put out only one color (or just a very few colors like the white ones)...
Oh, I forgot to mention that I had to carve the bottom edge of the stop light reflector to accomodate the heat sink on the 3W Luxeon LED. Before I did the glue...
Hey Fred, I replaced my rear bulbs with red LEDs with no issues. I just removed the bulbs and looked at the light number. In the case of the rear brake and...
I've read about that sort of thing. The Gizmo I have (and many others, but not all?) have a "smart-blinker" circuit which is programmable/computer controlled...
... wrote: [snip] ... pull the ... [snip] Andy's point is valid. My Gizmo has a SmartBlink unit which blinks the brake light a few times before it is on steady...
The turn signal LEDs arrived today and I installed them forthwith. The amber is clearly visible through the lenses, with no problem at all. I got cheap ones...
... Look at http://2003gizmo.blogspot.com/ and click on the picture to enlarge it. The first two are with the 3W LED tail light. While the picture doesn't show...
I've been dragging my feet on changing out the taillight and brake light on number thirty, but finished part of the project today. My friend sells motorcycle...
Fred, Those look great. I would think that with those you won't have any legal issues with license plate lighting if you went with the LED brake & tail lights....
I have a reputation to uphold on the Xebra Yahoo group and the Gizmo makes it all the more easy to accomplish. Today's travels took me just about 13 miles,...
