If I get a new vehicle, there's a good chance I will get one too. Being made locally helps that decision.

Its been a long winter

I wasn't aware of the COP's until this thread. It appears that my car, a 2005 merc Marquis uses them. A new set of 8 for my merc coats $50 (aftermarket Orion brand). The ones I've seen looking at this seem to all use the same 2 prong connector. Resistor wattage, err on the high side when in doubt. I inherited my father's old Simpson VOM. Same as I used in tech school during HS years. Should be accurate enough. 20,000 ohm internal impedance if I remember right? So what are the chances that the 2nd gen could use the same COP as my car? spark=spark=spark I ran an old 650 Triumph on a Suzuki coil from a junk bin when I couldn't find one of the correct Lucas coils. Notes from two ebay listing on a COP (for example) Primary Resistance 0.620 ohms / 0.5 ohms Secondary Resistance 5.6K ohms / 5.43K Turns Ratio 66:1 / 68/1 Honda MC thread on doing a conversion: http://www.rc51forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6482 http://www.ngk.de/en/technology-in-detail/ignition-coils/design-of-an-ignition-coil/design-of-a-pencil-coil-single-spark-coil-coil-on-plug/

So who is going to try these on a 2nd gen RSV or RSTD ? I wonder if figuring out what kind of resistor is needed is as simple as measuring the resistance of a stock coil/plugwire combo ? Are the connectors the same (that would be too lucky) as the 1st gen /vmax? The kit price isn't too bad considering everything is there ready to go. http://www.densoautoparts.com/direct-ignition-coils-cop

nice one Buddy. I get the urge to get a small convertible every summer. If I didn't haul a couple large dogs around with me, I probably would.

Just rub some Rogaine in every day. When it gets over a foot long, then tie the edges up in braids, and dye a green steak down the middle for effect.

go to paypal, login. put his email in the send money to box at the very top, then under that the amount you are sending. You can optionally add a note, and a ship-to address if different from the one paypal has on file Thats all there is to it

Happy Retirement Day to those of us everywhere so endowed...

congrats guys..

good one... btw, there is a link to the picture in the first post, but there is an access denied message, so its likely just viewable by members of that forum.

This is the first I recall anyone mentioning an aircraft pump being suitable. I probably missed the thread. could you post a link? thx

Quote V7goose from an earlier thread. 2. If the pump is actually bad, you can then simply disconnect the fuel line from the top of the fuel filter and move it to the carburetor input (bypassing the fuel filter and the fuel pump). This will allow you to ride the bike until you get a replacement pump.

Ruffy, If the Katy deal falls through, there is a consignment dealer here who has a small variety of bikes. 1 or 2 might interest you. http://www.blackmountaincycles.com/pages/motorcycles-for-sale.php

those bells must really work !!!! but, its hard to imagine a thin sheet of road ice being able to do that ??

Sometimes everything doesn't go as planned. With help from friends things can turn around.

But the guy says he will make one for any Star model.

I liked the origonal 2nd gen seat with the Rick Butler mod done to it on my now departed RSV.

It was still snowing at 7am this morning. But, 1pm and 40F here in north Georgia now. Put the RSTD on a battery charger and will take it for a short spin on Friday. I've got a new/used Ultimate seat to try out. Supposed to be in the 50's Friday. Snow here will soon be a memory. There not much left in my yard. Got about 4inches worth I'd guess. The panic that set in was a wonder to behold.

got it. will get the kit out to you next week

pm me. I will need any shims used 2.70mm and smaller replaced, or the tool replaced if broken, plus postage.
