  1. That could be possible, Over the operating temperature range of a bike I don't know what temp range sensor would be right. What is the temp inside the headlight at 20 deg F vs 120 deg F in the sun.?
  2. I am thinking in the neighborhood of $5-10 per circuit monitored. An air wound coil of wire and a reed switch with NC contacts, and a LED indicator, maybe a resistor depending on the LED used with some wire and terminals to connect it all up. Hey squeaky, give me a call.
  3. And the back seat can fold down to make more room for storage.
  4. If your HID is connected the same as mine is where there is a separate fused power wire to the battery, then the signal to turn the hid on or off is pulled from either the high or low beam wires to the headlight. If you have dirty contacts in the Hi/Lo switch it might be breaking the connection while the switch is moving and that momentary break will tell the HID to turn off. Clean your Hi/Lo beam selector switch.
  5. :sign yeah that: Nope, It would be on whether the headlight was blown or not. Aircraft current sensors are kind of pricey:mo money: But that would work. I have come up with a simple circuit to light a LED if the bulb burns out. This circuit I have in mind would not work with LED tail/brake lights without modifications. The same circuit would/could monitor; High beam Low beam Brake light Tail Light. It would be a PITA to monitor turn signals. What I do not know, is anything about the wire routing of a 2nd gen to determine how hard it would be to hook up. I would need a local guinea pig so I could figure out connection points.
  6. It sho do look interesting. Has a smaller engine than the Ventures. I like the creamsicle color, but I would be worried about a bunch of ventures chasing me down the road thinking I was ice cream.
  7. It can be done because the 1st gens will tell you if a brake light or tail light or either high or low beam headlight, are out. The first gens even have a circuit so that if a headlight element burns out it will automatically instantly switch to the other headlight element regardless of hi/lo beam selector switch position. It is possible to build a circuit that would monitor for burned out bulbs. I have an idea how to do it, I will have to do some cipherin to see if I can come with something easy enough for the average person to build.
  8. What kind of lights are you running? Or did you short something?
  9. Looks like the old chat without the bugs, that works is back.. Thanks Don.
  10. Actually I thought the stock back lighting looked yellow even with the brightness all the way up, With the new 15 LED white towers that I used the dash is very white and that gives it a whole different look that I like. If you go with the 5 LED bulbs, it may be a little dim. I am happy with the brightness of my four 15 LED towers. FYI If you use colored back lighting, any markings in that color will be nearly invisible. As far as best price, there are some bad LED products out there, I have never been disappointed by SuperBrightLEDs.com, but they are not cheap.
  11. DOH!! I just ran out and took apart my cruise display. You are right. The cruise bulbs are not 194 wedges. I guess I have to order more LEDs and have some 194s I wont use yet........... I have 2 styles of the 74s ordered to see which I like better. A bright set and a less bright set. bright is great in the daytime but can be distracting at night.
  12. The problem is, the part with the serial number on it is considered the gun. Even if all other parts have been removed. So yes you can legally send all of the parts except for the one with the serial no.
  13. Just my thoughts added in RED.
  14. You just mentioned it. I'm sure someone will be right over.......
  15. Did you check both connectors to the dash to be sure they are plugged in tight and clean? There is a black wire in one of the 2 connectors, run a temporary jumper from that wire to the battery negative and see what that does for your issues.
  16. Hmmmmmmm......... That sounds like a plan; I poured and finished concrete steps, replaced all of the seals in my sprayer, sprayed weed killer on the whole drive way. I think I can handle apple pie and rum balls while keeping the concrete wet and the neighborhood rug rats off of it.
  17. I would also have to wonder just how long the motor ran before it was noticed that the oil was gone???
  18. Whew! For one I'm not involved........
  19. Can one be allergic to ones self?.........
  20. I'm thinking a jar of Apple Pie and a tub of rum balls will go just wonderfully together...... You can keep all of those berry concoctions, I'm allergic to most berries.
  21. But he already took the "safe" route and shipped FFL to FFL. Yes you could just put it in a flat rate box and it will most likely get there ok. BUT if the box is lost, or damaged to the point of opening, forget about trying to get reimbursed for the contents that you lied about.
  22. OK now that I am in the middle of typing out the explanation for how this works I can see where I was a little off in my previous post. I will go back and edit it. This relay is a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) Most relays of this style are SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) with the contacts normally open. Pin 30 is the common Pin 87 is Normally Open Pin 87A is Normally Closed. (this pin does not exist on most relays of this style) Since this coil is polarity sensitive. Pins 85 is the negative side of the coil. Pin 86 is the positive side of the coil. So pin 30 gets the white wire coming from the EAND relay. Pin 87A gets the white wire that goes to the AD solenoids. Pin 87 does not get anything connected to it, it is not needed in this application. Pin 85 is the negative side of the coil so it gets connected to the black wire which is ground Pin 86 is the positive side of the coil so it gets connected to the yellow wire which is the power coming from the brake switches. When you activate either brake, it sends power on the yellow wire. This power will cause the EAND relay to close and the time delay relay to start timing but do noting yet. The EAND relay contacts will connect power from the brown Signal circuit to the white AD wire. Since you are breaking the white wire that went to the AD solenoids and connecting it to the NC contacts on the TD relay that power will continue on thru the TD relay to the AD solenoids. Once the 10 second delay has elapsed the TD relay will energize which will cause the NC contacts to open turning off the AD solenoids. NOW I should have you throughly confused...........I am........was...........is:whistling:
  23. When I had to ship a handgun back to the factory, I was told at that time that it must go UPS next day air. Next day air has the fewest number of people touching the package and the least chance of it growing legs. That was many years ago. I do not know if that was a legal requirement, or the gun factory requirement, or just UPS requirement.
  24. A fifth means 1/5 of 1 us gallon or 26.5oz. 750ml is 25.4oz 1 pint is 16oz Enter shopping mode..........
