  1. I didnt know if it was direct wired 220. Didnt think of that until after I got to rambeling.
  2. Last pair of tires I mounted on the RSV had the opposite problem. It was hard to get beads out to seat. Take a cargo strap and put around tire and ratchet down some, it will spread the bead a little. then shoot the air to it. soon as the tire seats the beads release the strap. On is the easy part, a couple well placed tires spoons while working it around and your good. but still a neat idea I might have to try.
  3. You can ride Sat Steve and tell us your woes. Did you try a hammer? On a serious note, un plug it an maybe turn the,switch on while un plugged. Then switch of and replug in and see if it might work. Ops just thought it could be 220 and direct wired also huh.

    Added Lighting

    Light added to my bike
  5. Do you have the passing lights installed? If so just draw your power off the relay for those. You do have a relay installed on them rite?
  6. Inside the light, if its a h-3 halogen bulb there is a ground wire that screws to the housing back. Mine does not allways make a good contact, and last time I had it appart I had to add a washer to make it get good contact.
  7. The plastic replacement cost is just astronomical on these bikes. And add about $70-90 bucks an hour to repair things and it dont take long to get to 60% of what a like, kind bike. It sucks for sure.
  8. LOL A fellow RSV owner bought one of my by-pass relays. I am in Fla and he in Wisconson. So I put his part in the mail. It goes across Fla, up to Wi. Then to NJ then back to Wi at least once before the fellow got it. I guess I was just glad I was not paying by the mile.
  9. If I was going to mess around reworking fuel delivery, I would adapt fuel injection from a v-max probably.
  10. My reds aare on with tail lights and do not flash, change colors or ossilate. Will not be mistaken for LEO. You dont have a white helmet also do you?
  11. I bought a length of red ones off e-bay. I made a bracket for under the saddlebags and mounted the lights and they operate as running and turn. A couple short strips under the gas tank mounted and on a switch so if get hassled, I can turn them off.
  12. If you go used engin, have them go ahead and put a new timing belt on that one. The 100k plus milage car I dont think I would go that route. Good luck which ever way you go.
  13. If a second gen was involved, I would guess a puked shock. But if the can-am was parked there I dunno. Last can-am I rode the oil went in the gas.
  14. Intermitent crap drives me nuts. Maybe the shield on the coax wasnt in the connector good or something. Crazy stuff happens, and sometimes its just the way it is.
  15. It does take a developed touch on the crimp type pliers to get a good connection. Squeezing for all its worth is not allways a better connection.
  16. Dont have a job to go to anymore, rite now. Worked a bunch of holidays while active duty Air Force.
  17. I try hard NOT to go to Doc. (See Pucs thread) So its OK for LEO's to write a ticket and you fund the courts just to prove them wrong. Thats part of why I decided to just pay the ticket instead of fund the court and the lawyers boat payment. Like insurance, its the lesser of 2 evils I guess.
  18. Chubby cup Chubby Cups | Hog Cups you can just. Flip the cam lever and rotate the holder out of way of lid to gain access. She loves hers. My backrest has a pouch on the back and its held on by velcro. There are bags made,that go on the rear crash bars for storage also. But definatly not easy to get to while riding.
  19. I have a hot tub outside. Perminate type I guess you might call it. It has a cover on it and I would think if you had a cover on the soft sided ones it should hold the moisture in. Now the inside of the cover get pretty wet for sure. Im sure you are also aware that the portable jobs are probably 110v and cost more to run and wont have quite the pumps etc the 220v jobs do.
  20. So you belived the story of the injection stuff being for pictures huh. You sure it was'nt seafoam? I will have to remember the picture story next time I inject the turkey before cookin it. Hope they can nail down whats goin on and get a plan of atta k.
  21. I mounted my Stebel up front. I figured it would put it a little closer to the possible offender. Took old horn out and installed air horn. Then a few months back I found this pretty loud "beep" type horn from sick speed. It works pretty dang good in conjunction with the stebel.
  22. I make a ignition by-pass relay, just so the switch does not carry the entire load across it. I also can make a "keyless" by-pass set up if that is what you want. I have them for sale in the member vendor section (standard relay). Or drop me a PM for any questions. Its a plug and play outfit.
  23. High performance car. Low performance driver. Thats partially the reason whyn Vipers came out at first you got a car cont f rol class thru Skip Barber racing school.
  24. Wait a dogone minute here. Why would you want to take an extra noise maker off? If 1 horn is good why would w not be better? If loud pipes possibly save lives (so I have read) why wouldn loud horns?
