    Below the headlight. There are two "pins" on the fairing that push into the grommets.

    Also a dab of petroleum jelly on the oval shaped rubber grommets helps too.

    Sounds like it's time to file a dispute with Paypal...

    Here's how I had to "adjust" mine...

    There is a trick to putting the risers on the bike. (And it is easier with a second pair of hands!) After you remove the hold down caps pull the bars back just enough to slide the risers in from the side. DO NOT move the handlebars out of the way, put the risers on and then try to pull the handle bars back enough to come over the top of the risers! The cables are not that long. Some will tell you they had trouble with the throttle cable(s) binding, after riser install. I guess I was lucky, 'cause I had no problems at all. Oh, the risers WILL hit the chrome or black fuel cap cover by the ignition switch. The black ones will deform enough so as not to be a problem. The chrome ones are stiffer and will not give. I have the chrome on on my bike and chose to modify mine. I have a picture some where and if I can find it I'll add it to this post later.

    Gee with 25,000 miles on my bike, when the weather gets better, I need to bring it up there so you can demonstrate how it's done...

    A little more info; For my house I have a 10,500/7500 generator. It runs the whole house, although I hear it protest when the wife fires up the 1250 Watt microwave. The 1200 Watt was suppose to be a "get-by" measure, for my son's house. In bad weather he comes to our house (Those that have met him will understand). So, really all I was trying to do was keep the pipes at his house from freezing in case of a power outage. The 'fridge really doesn't matter, he eats at our house:Laugh:.

    Thanks for the responses!!! I forgot to mention that when hooked back to the "house power" the system worked perfectly. On the polarity issue, I made sure the generator was the same as the house, black (hot) to black, White(neutral) to white and bare(ground) to ground. Thank goodness so far we have not lost commercial power. Anybody want a deal on a 1200 watt (Wally World) generator with only an hour or so in the clock?

    In anticipation of today's ice storm (thank goodness at our house it was not as bad as predicted!) I bought a 1200 watt generator to, if needed, power the natural gas fired central heating system at my son's house. The Coleman system is a 1995, 120VAC system that has no pilot light. To be sure we could count on it, I cut the furnace loose from the house power and hooked it up to the generator. When I turned it on it loaded the little generator, but according to the voltage meter on the generator it held 120 volts. The system ran about 30 seconds and I heard the generator unload. My 1st thought was it tripped the breaker on the generator, but that was not the case. I checked the furnace and the green LED, on the circuit board, was flashing rapidly. There is no code listed for that! I turned the power off to the furnace, waited about 15 seconds and turned it back on. The Green LED came on solid and that the little, what I think is called a purge fan, came on and ran about 20, or so, seconds. I heard the generator load up a little because of what I suspect was the ignitor coming on. This lasted about 5 seconds and then a click which I suspected was the gas valve being activated. With that every stopped and the green LED went to flashing rapidly again. I repeated this a couple of times with the same results. I thought well maybe the generator is not able to keep up and the voltage is dropping too low. It seems just the opposite to be the case. With the click that shuts down the furnace the volt meter on the generator "Jumps" up to about 130 or so. Any Ideas? I have not been able to find a tag that tells me what wattage the furnace should require. I would have thought starting the air handler fan would be the largest hurdle, but I have a similar fan from a long since dead system from our house, which I use as a shop fan in the summer. The little generator starts and runs it just fine.

    Was on the way to ordering the fleece lined ones until I saw the note that fleece is non-removable. That is a deal breaker, this far south...

    SilverStar has a filament just like any other incandescent light bulb. The HID (High intensity discharge) bulb does not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_discharge_lamp Our bikes take the 9003 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=427889&highlight=9003#post427889

    Pins on the relay. Those numbers are cast in the plastic next to the spade connectors. BTW:2cents: http://venturerider.org/forum/showth...762#post420762

    Been considering this set, anyone tried them? http://twowheelsound.com/inc/sdetail/1090

    Don't know about the trike part, but American Modern (amig.com) beat everybody I called, at renewal time, on my two bikes. So I dumped the lizard and progressive for one policy with AMIG. ($613.00/year)

    I have a pair, and like them. They are NOT for summer riding in my part of the world though!!! IMHO they are not for a lot of walking either. Not a lot of arch support. BUT for riding in cooler temps they are fine.
