  1. If its drawing more than 10 amp YUP. And my experience is the fuse that goes inthe multimeter is not cheap.
  2. Sounds as though maybe the helmet is not fitting correctly possibly. I have the factory windshield and also a shorter one, and the boss has not complained about either and she wears a Bell Mag 8
  3. OK I use to have a site you copied the URL into the signature place. Now It appears I am using http://www.epgsoft.com/VisitedStatesMap/VisitedStatesMap.php You fill out your states, hit enter and it takes you to a page with your states traveled. You copy the picture to your computer and then edit it so it is within the format required. Then go to user CP and edit signature youll see a spot to insert it. There ya go clear as mud
  4. Maybe what is trying to be explained is, even though you have ground at the compressor, it is not enough so to speak for the amount of amps being used. Just for giggles connect and extra ground to the bolt on top of the trans if your working on that side of the bike where the right side OEM was. I just went thru horn He!! on mine. Ended up being a combo of things to include a bad connector @ the relay. I would say 30a for the horn would be a bit much. But if its on a dedicated feed thru a relay its feasible.
  5. Yea guys thats my usual plan of attack. KISS Start with battery, check volts and connections. Then work my way to the main fuse. When mine went bad it absolutly stunned me. Like I said I had just got off a 3K plus mile trip and never so much as had a slow start. Walked out to go to the store and nothing. Took me 2 days almost to figure it out. Where the main fuse is located it get some pretty nasty things thrown at it. The main power cable runs down there to the starter solinoid also. When you do get it corrected you still may want to consider the by-pass realy, and especially if the plug under the tank is burned up. Check this thread out.

    CCT Sighting

    I was thinking my drive way actually.
  7. Look in user CP them personal avatar. It should tell you what site you used to get the map in the first place. Then go there and update it.
  8. I make the kit your speaking of on the Delphi boards. Before going all out on the ignition switch its self being bad you need to do some systematic checking. First is the battery up to voltage? 12-13v. Check and clean the ground and power connections. Check the main fuse, use an OHM meter. The fuse is located on the left side, below the regular fuse box and you have to remove the floorboard to get to it. Yea I know real convenient huh. Also check the connections there at that relay point. Mine worked fine, got home from a 3000+ mile trip 2 days later went out to run to store and nothing. Main fuse was bad. There are a couple write ups around about cleaning the contacts up in the OEM switch to get a few more miles out of them. I would recommend installing the by-pass relay no matter what the out come may be.
  9. I can tell you what we use to do on "burp" or vent hoses on race cars that were like that. They almost always pushed stuff out and then you had a mess. Take a piece of cloth say 4"x4" and double it over. Then wrap around the hose and zip tie it. The cloth will capture most fluids if pushed out instead of them dripping down. Also in the routing of the hose, make sure there is a low spot somewhere before the outlet. If there is collection of any kind of fluid hopefully it would be there.
  10. Back in the 90's when I was still in the AF, my brother called me out of the blue. Had not heard from him in like 3-4yr. He says "you gonna be home in a couple weeks?" I said yea I'm not going any place. He tells me him and a couple buddies were riding out that way and he "might" slip by. You kind of had to know him he was probably 50 at that time. Anyways he had picked up like a 650 Yamaha twin with a windshield and luggage rack. him and his buddies had got layed off for a couple months from automotive related industry. So he hit the road. Several days later he calls and says "hey were in XYZ and be in around dinner time" Sure enough here they come. It was cool he just packed a few days clothes and said off we go.

    CCT Sighting

    I know where I would like to see a CCT.
  12. the FI on my 900 Vulcan was awesome. Turn key on, thumb switch, jumps to life. Wait a couple minutes for a bit of engine heat and away you go. No bucking coughing or high engine speed.
  13. Is it as big as the scratch would have been if you didnt adjust the bearings?
  14. Whats the name of your dealership again? Last time I seen that many bikes in one place there was food involved.
  15. The front of the air box there has a bracket. The hose goes kind of behind it and drips the goo down the leg fairing. Nice aint it?
  16. Malware bytes is a good free virus cleaner also. You may have to "restore" to an earlier date where you didnt have the trouble and then clean the garbage out and start from there. My internet explorer has been garbage ever since I got Win 7. So I am learning to use google chrome.
  17. I think M61A1MECH makes a trailer connector for the bike to trailer.
  18. June huh, Maybe it will be done being winter by then.
  19. Larry I have the front forks lowered about 3/4" in the triple tree. I get a tick over 6" at the bottom of the crash bars up front.
  20. Yea I forgot the tank bag when I sent you the PM yesterday. I have a Cortech which they dont make anymore. This one looks OK. I prefer the expandable ones. Mine is actually 2 separate bags you can put together and get like 30L of storage I think. If there is a Cycle Gear store by you they usually have a decent selection of bags for a good price. Mine is a magnetic. If you get a magnetic make sure it has a tether strap. A friend of mine bought one a couple years back and his magnets were not strong enough to hold it fast at highway speeds and it moved around on him.
  21. Coffey, I've done both ways. Flyin down the freeway making miles, and running backroads enjoying the sites. Sort of depends on what your planning to do.
  22. I like it, its blue. It is probably the "pre-venture" for 2016 anyways. Aint nothing wrong with a V-twin. My buddy made a 2500+ mile trek with us last year on one and I never worried about loosing him. Well other than he needed gas a bit earlier than I did.
  23. Yamaha FJ series bikes as well as Honda CB 900 & CBX I think is what I have found. The diameter is 25mm
  24. When you got time this may help you a bit. Its a page with history of the 386th BG Keep it up and Dale over at Wheels Through Time is going to be jealous.

    turbo

    Saw a tubo V-Max a couple years back. Well parts of it. It was an article in a magazine and most of the pics were of the bike smoking the rear tire. I can imagine why someone needs that much power on a bike. It was a magazine aimed towards the sporty bike set.
