  1. It sure sounds like a scam to me. But it might be fun to mess with him some..........
  2. Top of the screen
  3. This is quite common. The hackers just keep hitting your email account with passwords till the account opens, they then use your email account to send out their spam. I have myself as a contact so that I will receive an email when this happens. Having invalid email addys will not slow this particular attack down, they are sending to ALL of your contacts good or bad they dont care. The fake addy will help with some of the malware driven attacks that are monitoring their activity. The good news is that this one did not attack your computer, just your email account. your computer does not even need to be turned on for this to happen. Whats bad is that Yahoo and the other free emails could stop this dead in its tracks if they wanted to. Simply by locking the account for 10 minutes if an incorrect password is entered 3 times. As is, the hackers can have their computer send many thousands of passwords per minute trying to find the one that works. With this simple change they could try 18 passwords per hour, They would never hit it.
  4. Sure there is, Just spend $12 and make another member named, maybe, motorcycle1300. and then you can make another balloon......
  5. Yesterday was interesting in WI, some places had 3+inches of rain, some had freezing rain, and some had over a foot of wet heavy snow. There are power outages every where. We will be happy to pack this one up and send on to the north and east,,,,,,,,,
  6. Well now that I had a plan that will work, I started to optimize it, I have reduced the PCB down to a single layer board. This will cut cost of the board by a bunch, I can now make it at home. 75540.pdf
  7. It should............ But I would have to spend some time looking at the wiring diagram to be sure.
  8. Your 10 days late with this.......
  9. Progress I have the circuit boards laid out, and some additional components on order. The PCB is only 1" wide X 2-3/8 long X 3/8 thick and will have 4 wires coming out of one end. It will not be bad to build with just 8 components, and 4 wires to solder down. The board house that I am going to use has a minimum order of 9 boards, so I may have some spares for interested parties. ASSUMING that this actually works as planned........ Warning do not try to make boards from these layouts, I have fixed a couple minor errors since I made these PDFs 75539.pdf
  10. NO NO, its stay away from the light, fear the light......
  11. I have also had success with a magnetic pickup tool. Some times you still need the pick to break the oil seal before the magnet will pull it out.
  12. And her leather boots that go all the way up??
  13. Lookin good Don Sorry I made so much work for you by giving you the lead.
  14. Well the load resistors should be here Thursday. I am going to try something different with the load resistor. Instead of hooking it up as one resistor per turn signal as recommended, (this means 4 resistors required one at each bulb) I am going to try it with one central resistor to handle the entire flasher system for both turn signals and 4 ways. I also ordered the parts to build my "super flasher". I do not like the brake flashers for this purpose, so I am designing and building my own flasher circuit so I can tailor it to this exact purpose. The plan is to have a flasher system hooked up so that whenever the horn is blowing, all of the non HID lights on the bike will be flashing at around 6-12 Hz. This should help the poor misguided person that just cut me off, figure out where the danger is, (or make me a target, not sure which:confused24:).
  15. I'm hoping that no news is good news....... Besides this needed a bump it was 3 pages back already......
  16. Interesting as it is, many RSV owners prefer the VMax gears and many of the VMax people prefer the RSV gears. You could get the VMax, do the gear swap and then sill have a complete vmax to sell, or play with.
  17. Hmmmmmm So you want RR to stay at the Oberlin but then you put your name in the hat to get away from the Oberlin............
  18. Set the bike up with the front wheel off the ground, You can then turn the steering slowly to feel for any tight spots. The stearing should also move freely from side to side with almost no pressure on the bars. If the bearings are warn there will be a slight indent feel around center. You can then also grab the front wheel and pull it forward and back to check for play in the head bearings. Orlin, Are you sure its the bike? There are no straight roads around you. You might be trying to go straight on a twisty road.
  19. Even better yet, If I win the raffle you can use my tent.
  20. A side stand on most any bike will not just fold up. Every side stand I have looked at uses the over center principal to keep the bike from rolling forward and off the stand. As the stand is moving back on its way up, it gets lower before it starts to go up. If the stand is down and you lean into a left turn, when the stand contacts the ground, first it will stop you from leaning any farther, then as it starts to move back and drops lower it will push the bike very hard toward the upright position. Unless you have both lightening reflexes and the safe space to switch from a left turn back to a right turn, you are going over on the right side of the bike. BUT, and there always seems to be one, all of the damage appears to be on the left side. If this was because of the side stand being down, the bike would have gone over on the right side. I watched a Harley do this in an intersection right in front of me once. It was spectacular.
  21. Easy test, turn the bike on, if the side stand is down the red warning light should be lit along with the side stand graphic on the display. Start the bike, put it in gear with the side stand still down, it should kill.
  22. Glad your OK. The worst part will be going up to the upper right corner and clicking on that "Donate" button.
  23. Glad to hear. Save those tools for the next guy that does that. NOW DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.
  24. I may need a glove to protect my hand, that is a lot of spankings.......
  25. This is the converter that I have It is rated for both incandescent and LED trailer lights. Not all converters can do both, some are incandescent only and some are LED only. Some don't mention it so you have to guess. This one is also an isolator, this means there is one more wire to hook up, this wire goes to the battery so that all power for the trailer lights comes from the battery and not the bikes electrical system.
