It seems that the old deck aint as rot free as I had thought. As I dug around it to get some measurements I noticed that the areas underground were rotted and/or very soft. Some of the surface decking was also soft, so........I plan on removing the old deck completely, which will be done before everyone arrives. I also revised the plans to make the new deck 22'x24'. Still a ground level deck, only longer now. Ill understand if this becomes a little more than what was planned for and you need to back out.

For the life of me I cant seem to recall if the front turn signal lights stay on all the time when running. I noticed them on for the first time today and now im wondering, especially since I have been having all these small electrical issues, are they supposed to be on all the time? Well??? Please help an old feeble minded bloke out.

We had a last minute impromptu meet and eat tonight at the Thurs bike night at Jerry's Sports Grille on Atlantic and Hodges. LetHimRide (Ken) and his wife, Georgia came to unveil their fully airbrushed 03. The artist did a remarkable job! KWTrains, Poppyrog and myself were there also. It was a balmy 65 deg out and there was maybe 100 bikes there. Sorry, but pics of Kens bike will be posted some time soon. OK, so I forgot to bring a camera...shoot me. Stalked a possible new member who rolled up on a white RSTD. Gave him a card and introduced him around and invited him to the site. I believe his name was Ron.

I have seen many different ways to mount flags. As a temporary measure I used a house bracket clamped to my bag racks to mount my 3x5 flag. Since I already have a trailer hitch, I plan on building a flag holder to mount into the receiver. Most likely it will be a piece of steel welded toa receiver, long enough to clear the trunk with a piece of pipe welded to the end to drop a pole into. Im sure that if you peruse the PGR site and make a request you will receive many ideas from them.

I called Signal Dynamics today to discuss the sensitivity of the voltage monitor and they confirmed my suspicions. It will read any drop within .5 volts (or something like that) and the light will definitely show a change. It is much more sensitive than the Kuryakyn gauge. At least now I know that the charging system is finally working properly. That occasional red light was driving me nuts. At least the beast fires right up now! Hopefully I wont have to push start it in front of the Harleys anymore. Im still going to rewire the driving lights and add LED turn and brake lights to reduce draw. Thanks to all who helped me through this issue, including the numerous phone calls, especially Muffinman, Squidly, Thom440, LetHimRide, Sleeperhawk, etc. Squeeze and Gibvel also provided valuable DMM guidance. Hmmmmm, does that now make me an electrical engineer?? (first one to call me sparky, dies) -
I got my tank bib from www.timberwolfleather.com It has 2 pockets and can be customized a bit.

Those huge behemoths of multi-level buildings that HD calls superplexes are filled to capacity with new and used HD's. I kinda wondered when the market would catch up to them. People arent really spending money so freely and the stock market is in a free fall.

It looks like the charging problem may be licked even though im still going to go ahead and rewire the passing light system. In my opening post I mentioned the LED gauge going to full red for a few minutes and I also wondered on the sensitivity of the new gauge. We went out for a ride today and the same thing happened...when the bike got hot the LED went to full red for a minute. We rode on to our destination and along the way, as we were in traffic it went full red a few more times. I stopped, shut the bike down then turned the key back on...yep, the intermittent red was the cooling fan coming on. As soon as it went off the bike went back to full green, same as when the passing lights are on. When this happened in the garage the DMM was still reading over 13V so it was still charging. The bike also fired right up at least 6 times tonight. So, at this point I tend to believe that the gauge is just a wee bit too sensitive. Ill know more after a few days of riding....... -
Well, it's about time!!!! Mini on wheels!!! a MiniVenture....
