  1. If you can use a multi-meter I bet we can walk you thru this. My main power wire for the orginal lights is what I used for my power to the relay. Then run a power wire from the battery to a fused power source for the light switch.
  2. I am currently looking for a cargo type trailer and have noticed a few ads that said "no pay pal payment" Didnt know why but guess now I do.
  3. The ones I have seen moslty are reciever type. I wouldnt put a scooter on one. They simply wobble in the single point of the reciever. There are some I have seen that attach in 2 places on the bumper of trailer and have a ramp I assume to get the bike up. I havent seen anyone load or unload on from it.
  4. You would have been in BAD shape if he would have downshifted ya there on the straight running 80 mph. Man them games have improved since the old Pong days huh.

  6. I think maybe you are reading about 2 different "by-pass" One is the ignition switch by-pass which as been mentioned for a temp fix to get home. The other "by-pass" would be the by pass of the high beam so the lights will remain on no matter which beam is selected. My relay is energized when the swich is turned on. thats what controls the power to it, not the headlight switch. Only a coupl amps go thru the ignition switch or the headlight swich in this hook up. Hear is a pic of my fuse holder (glass type) when not connected to a relay. If you look you will see it got so hot from running high voltage thru it all the time it melted the holder. How it still made a connection I have no idea. Also attached is a explanation and diagrham for a relay hook up.
  7. I have noticed mine I thought was slow loading once in awhile and especially on yahoo mail. But I figured it was my machine, as every so often it will give me some kind of "scrips running error" or "scrips slowing" stuff up warning.
  8. Thanks to my brothers in all branches. USAF 78-96 I really enjoyed my time in the service and while I was there I looked at it as "a job". I knew it was something better than that but for me it was just what I was to be doing I guess. If I didnt like it I guess I wouldnt have stayed and made it a career. Heaven knows the pay sure aint that great.
  9. Bob so you now have the GW the Venture and the Kawa 800? You going for the group rate insurance? Nice looking rig there. Went for a ride Sun with the sort of local dealer tha handles Victory's. Damn now I'm struggling with that nucance again. Grrrr.
  10. I took a couple of college welding courses while active duty AF. By the time I went in service (78-96) the "good" GI bill was gone and you had to put money in and Uncle matched it. Well being a struggling mariied airman there just wasnt spare cash to put away for that. As of now I'm like one english class and a math I think from a Assoc degree. Dont know that I'll ever do anything with it.
  11. Hard for me to say as of now. I dont have a work schedule for next year. Then there would be the question, "do I ride up to meet up? Or do I load the pick up with the toll box to help out? Guess it would depend on what and who needed to do what.
  12. They will probably sell thousands of them. That way folks can keep buying T-Shirts and actually RIDE a HD branded motorcycle. Personally I'd go for a used Buell.
  13. I have used both of those oils in this bike and my 900 Vulcan. I have been using the Shell Rotella T6 in this bike for the most part. I had enough Mobil 1 for a couple oil changes stored up when I bought this bike. Other than that I have used the Shell Rotella. In the summer down here in Fla I will use a quart of the 20w50 and the rest the T6 to give it a little more viscosity. If the oil has the JASMO spec on it it meets the manufactures requirments.
  14. I would ck the permatex/locktite site and see what it sayz. There are different blues and ed spec. Blue is a good all around. I have read dont use it on anything abs the screws go into. It eats it up.
  15. I use a 6mm snap on long ball allen. It gets the ratchet out far enough you can get a swing on it.
  16. I have just stock RK muffs. I run them for a few months, then get tired of the racket and put the Yamaha OEMs back on for awhile. The vance and hines I head on vids do sound nice. But like you I wouldnt want to refinance my house for a pair either. Keep an eye on craigs list, you may get lucky.
  17. I contacted him awhile back and he was working some parts sourcing issues out. I ended up finding a used edsets one and bought it. Like I said I have yet to make a phone call on it other than in a parking lot and as I started to leave the lot the wife said she couldnt hear me very well. I think I need to figure out some adjustments or something.
  18. You need to either use a bluetooth headset or a special cable to plug into the GPS that goes to the intercom system. I bought an edsets one and so far havent had very good sucess with it. A member here makes a simular unit Buddy Rich. Mine has worked OK at a stand still but not so when moving. I may have not figured out exactly how to set things up for it though.
  19. Looks like one of them math questions from high scool about 2 trais traveling across america at x speed an y z speed who gets where when.
  20. I can tell you shorts are not the answer. I have taken a quick couple of trips to the corner stor and it aint the ticket. Lol Seriously though I see lots of folks here in Fla ride in shorts. Ill run the mile or so to the store but thatss about it.
  21. I figure I just ride @ my pace. Then when I get to where we are goig I dont have to be in line for the john. I know my HD guys carry cell phones, so on the off chance they brake down before they get there they can call me.
  22. Well I ordered some parts for a winter project on this subject. I ordered a mic for a lap top that plugs into a 3.5mm jack and I ordered a 5 pin connector. I'll try to remember to take some pics and post when I get it done or as I go along. Let you all know how it works if it does. LOL
  23. So if I understand what your saying is a group of 3 or more people gathered can be considered a "gang" or "criminal group". Perfect, when the politicians get together and pass some dumb a$$ law get the cops to arrest them. Most of them have lined thier pockets with our money by stealing/cheating/ kniving someone out of it. Thefore it was a crime and they are doing criminal activities.
  24. I have put over 12K on my current set of Michelien Commander 2's. The front is the 130 as thats all they make in something close for our scoots. I havent noticed any difference to speak of one way or the other. Maybe a tad on the slow speed, but I also raised the forks in the triple tree to lower it a bit to help with the same issues. I just put over 5300 miles on it in about a month. Long trip up to Canada that was solo and mostly all highway and 1500 of that was last week in the mountinas a bit, some interstate and some back highways. All is good.
  25. I would try poping the rad cap while you have them off.
