    Ruffy I'm sending it out after the post office opens this morning. And am tossing in a mini toggle switch I have here on hand as well. djh3 the stainless stock I use is .004 thick. The size of the bracket is 1" wide and 3" long with a bend at 3/4" from the square end. The one I'm using with the rocker and LED light is slightly longer. The LED is from RadioShack part # 276 - 0085. This paticular LED light matches the bikes green lights well, is bright enough to be seen in daylight yet not so bright its blinding at night. It's actually less bright than the cruise control light, netural, or turn signal lights. My set up with this switch and indicator light uses the switch as a relay ground when turned on. So the (-) negative end of the led attaches to the relay side of the switch and the (+) positive side I ran a line to the fairing connecting to a key on power source. Hope this helps, Larry

    Here's the type I use. http://www.gamainc.com/site/pics/941/128525/430731/591876/66A8-02.jpg They're also available with red or green led lights. http://www.weisd.com/store2/nteswitch/NTEWaterproofSwitch.php http://www.weisd.com/store2/nteswitch/54-200W.jpg

    Ruffy I've made a few of these mounts for the trike gas tank conversions I build. And used a rubber covered rocker switch along with a LED light to indicate when the fuel pump was on. I also have one made with just a hole for a mini toggle switch I'm not using I'll give to you if you want it. Made of stainless steel and sandwiched by the handlebar switch box Larry

    RSTDdog is right here. I had forgotten Joe used the RSV luggage rack to mount his trunk. Larry

    It's all really quite simple IMO. As either a seller or buyer you need to communicate both ways so that both sides know what's going on. If there's a problem then it needs addressing ASP letting the other person know whats what. Like Squeeze & Eck says there may well be a time you get burnt but those times are the exception rather than the rule. In that case you just chalk it up and move along. I guess I've been lucky thus far as I haven't had any bad dealings with the members here or at other sites I frequent. At least that's been my experience so far. Take the high road & treat people like you would want them to treat you and it'll work out in the end. Larry

    Yep I have one of the Wally world Slime kits I think it is. Haven't used it on my bike yet but did air up a couple low tires for others with it. Seemed to do the job OK and din't take long pumping air either. Larry

    Did you check to see if Pinwall Cycle has one? Or a complete switch housing? Look for his ad on the home page. Larry

    Nice innovation done there Mike. Larry

    I carry a plug kit and air compressor on the bike. If I pick up a nail I'll do the repair on the spot. That'll either be permanent or at the least a temp till I can get to a shop for a new tire if needed. Larry

    Best wishes in his recovery. Being a 20 year old is in his favor for a speedy & full healing. Larry

    Joe ( star4772 ) added a set to his RSTD, but also added a Wing trunk. Here's his post -- http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69186&highlight=trunk Larry

    Another possibility is to wire the relay into the oil pressure system. Lights will be off until the engine is running under pressure. On my bike I simply added in a reservoir mounted 3 gang switch box and manually turn on/off the lights as needed. I have a LED set of lights mounted on the riser clamps that come on when those lights are in use so at a glance I know if I forgot to turn them on or not. Larry

    I can only imagine the amount of corrosion inside the bike as well. Even the frame. So in the end is it going to really be worth the trouble and expense of doing a restoration? Myself I'd just write it off as a loss and go from there. Larry

    Here's the type of relay to get as per Bob's suggestion -- http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Dorman-Conduct-Tite-4-pin-30-Amps-12-Volts-universal-relay/_/N-2659?itemIdentifier=203873_0_0_ They can be found at any auto supply store. Larry

    Prayers for you and family. At least now you know she no longer is suffering from that dreaded disease. Larry

    How well do they light up the road? Are they a wide scattered pattern or are they like spot lights with some down the road reach? Larry

    Interesting? If propane is a cheaper and better coolant then why don't the manufactures use it instead of the others normally used? Larry

    That was one cool video. Larry

    Did you check the fuse? It's located under the left side cover below the seat. Larry
