Yeah, it's been missing for a while now, I think Kreg had something to do with it!

Well my "IT" hasn't arrived yet, but we are talking about US customs from the super terrorist country of Canada (Humor Folks, nothing more).....can't wait to see it! Hey is it my missing Cupcake hat!!??

Glad you Get er dun Walt, they really are nice as when I was using Gunboats '99 in the mornings going to work it really lit the road up

Thats a Hopnel Bib isn't it? Have you thought about contacting Hopnel and asking them where they get their material from?
-
I do like the looks of it and would love to ride one, but the price is outrageous!

Not silly Walt, when your heart becomes attached to anything, and it has to go to the next life, we will always grieve. We grieve for ourselves, and not for the ones that have passed. They are in a better place and we know that, but we are selfish in the fact that we want them for all times. The saddest day I remember was when my Dad had to put his 17 year old Beagle down. I have only seen him cry 2 times in my life, and that was one of them. They will all be there waiting for us when we cross over....all the best to you and the family Walt.

We almost ended up in that area by Chattanooga, Cleveland to be exact. I love TN and if I would have found work there with TVA we would be living there instead of Texas. Lots of awesome roads to ride and like mentioned friendly folks

Vic, I dont know if Leadwolf56 or I have them, I'm not sure if I had sent them to him for the 2010 rally in Potato Creek, Might want to check with him and I'll serch out the garage.

Bob, It's not uncommon for the fuel pumps to crap out on any year RSV. The fuel pump is under the left side battery cover, remove the cover and tap on it to see if you hear the clicking. If you dont there is a good possibility that the fuel pump is shot. Make sure that you drain the carb bowls so you can be sure that it will call for the fuel pump to pressurize the carbs.
-
1st thing I would insure is that you have spark on all the wires. Next would be to insure that all the carbs are getting fuel. Drain all the carbs and then refill them to insure that you dont have float stuck closed and that the fuel pump is operating. Other than that we would need a bit more info to troubleshoot deeper.

We had some good wind just North of you Keith, when I came in this morning I noticed a couple of trees snapped off along my work route.
-
Come on back over and bring Theresa with you, we'll do a mini MD here in Conroe

Looks like it just skirted us again, really needs to get further south.....all the best to you folks north.

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/snapvents.php This is the company and the vents that I have used in the past. I used the CC 3251 models, they work out pretty good and you could still use the Goldwing vent in the center part of the windshield and the round vents out towards the sides of the shield. if you have any questions PM or call.

You know the rules Jim....Pics!!
-
Send it down here to Texas, we need rain so bad it's not even funny. Driest it's been down here in 100 years, and wildfires all over the place.

I agree with Chickenhawk, I had E3's on my '89 and they were decent tires, but handling wise Avons have always been the best IMO. The Michelin Commanders were a VERY close second, I have never had an issue with Avon Venoms cracking.

On the way Gunk!
-
Happy Anniversary Joyce and Larry!!!

Dana, I posted in another thread you wrote on, come on over to my place, were in Conroe and we can get you hooked up easy. It's about 20 minutes or less of actual working time....but about 3 hours of BSing....so about 4 hours Just mapped it, about 100 miles from you to me.
-
Come on Gunk, we dont get to see you and Beth that often. Do we need to Make a working crew to get that done....you know that can happen.

Sorry you seem to be having troubles with this install Chris. As mentioned when several of us mentioned to solder the connections it's because quite a few of us have had issues with the connectors corroding and failing, thus leaving us stranded on the side of the road. I speak from experience on this, as I am one that had this failure. Now I will place this quote "Well, when these bikes are assembled you can't really tell where the parts might be because they are all assembled differently and there is no way to tell where the components might be placed." I am thinking this sounds a lot like what I mentioned when we talked. If this isn't my quote then my next statements wont matter except to clear any confusion for future members. I believe that we didn't have a clear understanding of what I meant. I never talked about component placement, I talked about the wiring harness and how it is wound around in the bike. There can be zipties placed in different spots either on the assembly line or by a dealer that had done work on the bike. This can greatly affect how much slack there is to solder the connections. Now mind you I HAVE done this to Gunboats '99 RSV, and I had to finagle the wires around a bit to get to a point where this could be accomplished. Unfortunately my rememberer isn't what it used to be and many times now I have to see situations and think on the fly. I wish you all the luck with your bike, unfortunately I'm not sure how much more help you'll get with it from the group...all the best.

Unfortunately I take it that it didn't go well after our conversation Sometimes the best thing to do is walk away for a day or 2, I have done that several times.
