Heck just run you a wire over to the battery to ground it.

Seafoam has Naptha and some IPA (alchol) something else. The Berrymans has worked well for me. I aint drinkin the stuff, just pouring it int the tank and running it thru. Just sayin

Where have you got it installed? Then maybe we can point you in a direction to ground.

Sloroll maybe?

Most of the time 5-8 over posted on GPS if its on the bike. If I dont have the GPS I'm probably about the same indicated maybe 10 over. Whatever feels comfortable for you for conditions.

Yea well thats what I meant anyways. But right area. I'm not sure I took that piece off when I did the valves. I think I just disconnected the hose, clamped it off and got it out of the way. So that water running around that little pan thing is supposed to cool up there?

Is it in this pic? #2

I have some of those alcohol pads to clean like before you get a shot. I have used them or you can just use a piece of paper towel with alcohol and install. Its a bugger thought to get your mitts in there.

Not that I know of. When I did the valve adjustment on mine and had to service the antifreeze (second gen you have to drain to do the job) Folks here just recomended any approved for alum radiators. They did say stay away from the Dexcool I think. I just used Autozone pre mixed.

I knew the 2nd gens had the rear wear issue, but had not read that on the 1st gens, I just bought a pair of kevlars for the rear of my 2nd gen.

How come that thing aint got asold sign on it. I would maybe drain old gas, fill her up with some fresh and 6oz or so maybe a bit more of seafoam or berrymans b12 and ride a tank through and see if it dont run better. then a carb sync and prob be pretty dang good. As has been mentioned some things will need addresses weather itwas a 89 or 2009. Tires, hyd fluids flush and fill and maybe a set of plugs and oil change. But heck if you can do the work your only looking at maybe $300.

Us to cary a screwdriver in glove box on my GM stuff. Solenoid always seemed to fail at wrong time. Easy to change though.

We have kicked the idea around. I like the idea of a toyhauler, but she wants the garage area seperate from main living quarters. Show us some more inside pics when you get a chance. Looks good. Congrats.

Need to ask in 1st gen, But Im going to guess thats just getting broke in.

I forgot about the econo bake Earl Shive shops. We dont have any where I live so they kind of slip your mind. My 900 vulcan I took the fairing to a friend that owns a body shop. He closely mathed the paint with some house of color paints. I took him a side cover off that bike to match up to.

So if you are using the intercom, does it cut in and out like the radio? Shoot @ $135 I would almost be leaning towards just going with the Sena SMH 10. But thats me

Beach- aint that the truth. If more folks would live closer to thier means I dont think the econmoy would have been so messed up. I dont mean you cant finance anything, just be smart about it. Dont figure your montly payments to the last dollar. Because I can asure you something will go south, then your over extended. Loads of years back probably 10 or more we refinanced the house as rates dropped etc. So was good time. When we refiananced the mortgage compny tried really hard for us to take out more money like up to 110% of what house was valued at. Thats just plain stupid to loan more than what something is valued at in my book. No wonder FANNY mac or whatever it was went upside down. Im not a finance major, but that there just dont make sense, no what I mean Vern?

Well at least if you know there is no reserve you can watch for the odometer to hit your say 160 miles and just stop.

Got to love the auto spell thing on phones. One day at me sons place we spent an hour I bet him reading off a web siteb with screwy auto spell statements.

Hmm A slingshot with a slanted nose.

Yea those connecors look really good.

Made a head gasket for an outboard out of a pop can once.

A couple years back I was doing the insurance look around thing. So applied online to like 5. When I finally picked one they were going to bump my cost because of to many inquireies. So your rooked either way. We have a couple credit cards and a couple store credit cards. The "major" credit cards we use for travel or a big item. Usually try to get it paid off ASAP. May not be in next month but depending on how much as soon as we can. But its a racket to be sure.

Well it points that way dont it. Dont know you skills, but maybe pull the unit out and open the cover. See if you can find a chaffed wire or maybe a loose wire on the circuit board.

I have done a fair amount of do it yourself painting on race cars and trailers. I had a 07 Vulcan 900 I put a bat wing fairing on. I thought about painting it myself and did some reading up. To get the paint to look decent its about a 3 step process under controled conditions. You need a correct mixture of hardeners in the paint, and there will be a seperate clear coat and it will have hardeners also. If you go with a OEM color Color Rite is about the only place you can get paint to match. You probably need at least a quart of color and whatever of clear. Your probably $200 in paint. Now if you get the parts off and dings fixed, see if you have a local colege or trade/tech school with auto body class. They will sometimes do it for cost of materials and a small fee. Not saying you cant do it but it is a bit more involved than spray and go. Being you have a bag hurt bad. Maybe when you get it fixed, go to local Autozone and find an auto touch up spray bomb you like and see ifyou can get a finish you like. Worst case you dont like and sand down and give it a try with something else. Good luck.
