  1. Maybe its a different globe than this one we are on. Venus and Mars are both getting warmer...........
  2. If using something to seal the pinholes, do not coat the whole diaphragm, use a small brush or something to just seal the holes. This way you do not stiffen the whole thing. Sealing the holes with anything is still only a temporary fix, plan on getting new diaphragms in the not real distant future.
  3. I have my HID triggered by the brake light. It is pretty hard to get very far without touching one of the brakes. it is set up so that once on it stays on till the ignition is turned off. I had looked into options of triggering off the side stand switch, charging voltage, a separate manual switch, the neutral light, even spark detection, and of course a simple 10 second delay relay. For me the brake light was the easiest and most reliable choice.
  4. Yes you did. Summer has been canceled due to a lack of interest. Well either that or that @saddlebum up north O da border leaving the back door open again, yet, still.........
  5. Yes this could be related. Take apart the clutch switch and clean the contacts. Also make sure that the switch is able to move freely its full distance.
  6. MMMmmmmmm......... RUM Balls.............
  7. Well there is my mug showing in a couple of Dingys pics. That could be part of the problem too.
  8. One down. One of those projects on the bench is finished. I am now a little closer to starting in on this one.
  9. You must work fast. I have never been able to clean the exterior of a vehicle in under 2 days.
  10. I like the other manuals better. I am doing my bikes first ever valve check at 58,000 miles, so half are still in spec.
  11. OOPIE!!!!! Someone dared me......... Said it couldn't be done....... You know I can't resiste a good challenge...... Are you saying I gots to do some sneakin and hiden at Dons......... But at least it woke you up and got your fingers back to typin.......
  12. Which kit from Skydoc? Did you put in the kit that includes a full disk to replace the half disk from the factory? If so then you will end up with the wire, 2 big washers and the half disk left over. If you put in just the new spring. then the wire retainer should have been put back in. If you upgraded to the full clutch disk, the friction zone feels very different from what you are used to. The clutch will not grab until the last little bit of lever travel, and it will grab quickly with very little movement of the lever. It does take some getting used to because it is a very different feel.
  13. Are you saying that this is the first time the clutch actually worked and hooked up with no slip?
  14. Did you use a drill bit MADE for drilling plastic. It really does make a difference.
  15. X-Rays are to inexpensive by themselvs.......
  16. OUCH!!!! The truth sure hurts........
  17. Check for power in the wires (not the clips) on both sides of the ignition fuse. Those glass fuse clips are notorious for bad connections.
  18. I would love to, but it is up to the doc.
  19. I see NO bling bling. I guess he still don't get it.
  20. Its hard to believe. With all of the chow hounds in this bunch only 30 RSVPs so far.
  21. Its getting closer. This last weekend I finally started my winter maintenance and upgrades. OK so I got a late start. There is still a good chance that I will be in the cage this year. That just means that there is more room to pack my world famous RUM Balls. Don't forget to sign up for FOOD!!!!!!!!!! at the Quaker Steak and Lube on Friday. Ol @cowpuc must have fell asleep at the keyboard again.......
  22. Everyone knows that cheese is a very important ingredient to a really good PIZZA. And Wisconsin, THE Dairy State, has the very best cheese bar none. It is always a Wisconsin cheese maker that wins the cheese competitions every year. Just because someone may have been first, does not make them best. Dang it, now I am hungry again....... Maybe we need to set up a traveling PIZZA tasting tour.
  23. Careful, he might want it back......
  24. Or were the holes trying to compensate for the clip on the needs being in the wrong place??? We will likely never know unless you can track down the PO and ask him.
  25. Here is one option. http://www.delcity.net/store/Heat-Shrink-Solder-Butt-Connectors/p_805408.h_801829.t_1.r_IF1003?mkwid=o5S86NUr&crid=38094426869&gclid=Cj0KEQjwpM2pBRChsZCzm_CU0t4BEiQAxDVFmlKRxVXNijWwa_dadFFTTpmJ4EaPi7DUiPkVFE0cycMaAr-g8P8HAQ There are a bunch of places to get similar splices. You want a type that has built in solder so that it solders the wires together as it is shrinking. These will give you a water tight soldered connection with no soldering knowledge or ability. OR Go out and get a soldering iron and supplies, You have to start the learning process somewhere.
