Looks like fun but $115K for the kit that you still have to build. If I build a plane my plan is for a KitFox S7 Supersport

I never tried to measure just how much current it takes to keep the reserve lighting module on a 1st gen happy.

I took the paint codes into my local paint supplier and he got that same glazed over look. Said he did not have anything to tell him what those colors were. But he also had no problem mixing up a pint of paint that matches perfectly. The computer scan got it close and then he tweaked it by eye. I could see no differences as he added a drop of this and a drop of that until it was just right.

Glad you are OK!!! Another thing to check real close. The right crash bar likes to flex back, crack the plastic elbow that comes out of the water pump, and then spring back to its normal position looking all innocent as if saying "Nope not me, I didn't crack that pipe :whistling:" All it takes is just the slightest dent and it will grow into coolant leak over time.

Interesting Not what I envisioned from your first description. But I like it

Me either.....

yes you can mount the new TCI on top of the air cleaner and leave the old one where it is. The factory wire harness is long enough to do this with no modifications. Does the 92 still have the issue with the 8 diodes that die of old age? Replacing these will never bring a bad TCI back to life, but if one of those 8 diodes fails it will take the TCI with it. Replacing them is a preventive measure. There are people that have opened up their TCI to change the diodes and found liquid water inside. Baking can remove the water. Skydoc_17 sells a kit with good instructions for replacing the factory glass fuse block with a modern one. Well worth it. That red/black wire is only the accessory circuit for the radio, no need to worry about that right now.

I have HID on my bike this being its 4th year. I love the light output and the power savings. My HID is 35 watts The stock halogen is 50/60 Watts. The LED H4s that I have looked at are 32/64 watts. I don't know if the HID is really "scattering" the light or not, all I know is I can see a lot farther down the road with HID than I could see with a halogen. So I am assuming the focal point must be right. I do carry the old halogen bulb on the bike so if the HID ever goes out it is just plug the old bulb back in. I would carry a spare headlight bulb regardless of what bulb technology I am using. I have had a headlight burn out at night on a very dark country road.

I have one jug of apple pie left in the fridge, right next to the Rum balls.

You forgot; Democrats Republicans Tea Party SEX Christmas Dirty rotten scoundrels There hows that?

So how well does it do lighting up the road at night at a distance.

Nope

You said that the PO installed a fan switch because in traffic the temp was getting up to the red. This is exactly how it is supposed to work. The fan comes on just as the needle hits the red. Take the switch out and let the bike run at its designed temperature. I know that some people think that getting near red is bad. in this case up to red is fine, into the red is an issue. Running the fan all of time when it is not needed will just make it wear out sooner and put a lot more strain on the electrical system. Learning which way to configure the vents for different heat requirements is important. There are vents that when open are designed to pull engine heat up to the rider for cold weather riding. There are also heat shields above the engine that may be missing.

My stock of free side stand plates is growing. This is just todays haul. I have more at home.

See, Just like GodLover, you can think about leaving but you never really can. Glad you are staying.

Glad you are staying, and that you have seen the light.

Start at the beginning. If the relay is clicking then the horn button circuits are working. So start at the battery. There should be a wire to a fuse, from the fuse to the relay. 1. Check for 12V at the fuse 2. Check for 12V at the relay. 3. Check for 12V coming out of the relay with the horn button pressed. 4. Check for 12 V on the + wire at the horn with the horn button pressed. 5. There should be a wire from the horn - to ground. Check this wire to see if there is 12V at the horn end with the button pressed. Report back.

Did it hurt?

But I would.......

I have not installed it yet, but I did buy a set of H3 HID bulbs to put into my driving lights. The HIDs are 35W the halogens are 55 so I will save a total of 40W and should have much more light. Since I have not installed them yet I do not know how they will focus.

Sheesh, the one time I behave myself........ I still get dragged in kicking and screaming. But I do vote in every single election no matter how small the issues or insignificant the office. I had that lesson early in my adult life, and learned it well. Ya know old Pucster, I'm gettin tired of hauling snow over the lake for you, its been a long winter, I was gonna give it a rest, but now we will just have to see if I still have one more left in me...... And this 60° and sunny stuff that is here right now, I'm gonna keep that on this side of the lake. :rasberry: :rasberry:

Only one Rum Ball??? I ate most of the box last time....... Slept real good.......

You know you really can not leave, You will be back, everyone comes back. Where else can you get this level of harassment from people that care?

If you are on the bottom edge of the recommended clearance you should adjust it while you are in there. The clearances get smaller with wear. If they get to small you can burn a valve.

Your welcome It was purely a good guess on my part. Now I will be curious to see how you like it at night. Lighting up the road is the bottom line.
