Funny how that puckered feeling subsides sooooo quickly when the cager says "sorry" with that (ok here goes the blood pressure again) goofy smile on their face.......

Yes it is....LOL

"I think I'm too old to start going to jail at this point in my life! Andy " Had to laugh I use the same reasoning when I get into those predicament's

Sorry to hear and it is a real shame. Stupid part is the "I didn't see them" excuse and the "thats OK we all understand" response by the courts. I had a real interesting one the other day. I put a headlight modulator on my bike and the response from the cager community has been quite interesting to say the least. One guy pulls out around 2 car lengths in front of me drives maybe 2 car lengths and all of a sudden heads back to where he came from almost hitting the guy next to him. Now that tells me a few things, 1) Didn't look before pulling out in front of me and after seeing the blinking (modulating really) light and thought I was a cop with flashing headlight?. 2) didn't look before pulling back in.

If it has a carriage bolt head you could get a piece of aluminum flat stock from Home Depot and stack the sizes, some to fit in the groove for the square on the bottom of the bolt head and one to compress them into place.

I have not tried this yet but my brother swares by it: Wet surface with super glue, sprinkle on baking soda. Keep doing this to build up surface. When done you can sand, drill, or do anything you want to do to machine and dress up the repair (even paint) to a super smooth surface. It works super, just slop it on, let dry , sand and paint. Now as far as flexablility goes I also don't know. I would take a small "V" shaped chisel and open the crack up a bit to form a channel then follow the process. This would act more like a weld then a surface glue job. -
EBay they recover all they can from there clean them and put them on....

Here are some I added 1 under the seat and 1 inside the faring. I also added some switches into the plastic gas tank cover with led's. The switches are mini's but they are 30amp and are running through 30 amp relays so they should last a while and they have water tight connections so I can remove the cover to make removing the tank still easy to do. If you look close at the picture of the terminal near the battery you can see 2 relays I added for future use they are connected to the 2 switches on the right of the tank cover. There is a main 15 amp breaker on that one also. I also added 2 breakers in the faring for that terminal they are in the top left of the photo. one is a 10 amp the other is a 5 amp. The power for this one comes from the fuse block with a tap on the main and a 20 amp fuse. I included a photo of the type of fuse tap I used.

Re-attaching Tank Badges
PGunn replied to seforeman's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I bought a roll of it at Home Depot for around $12.00 it's in the row where they have the adhesives and I found it on the floor under the shelf. They have 2 different roll sizes a 6ft I believe and a 12ft I bought the 12ft roll. The tape if you don’t know is a dark gray with a red removable backing and it is a 3M product, I have yet to find anything that comes close to this stuff when correctly applied. I’m using the stuff to hold relays, buss terminals and like in place. Make sure to pick up a spray can of wax and grease remover also it really is needed to make sure the stuff sticks. It also takes 24 hours for it to really “set” once it is stuck down. -
If your lucky the headlight bucket is still there. Windjammer had an adapter that connected the faring light to the stock light connection. The connection is pulled out of the OEM bucket and the faring is plugged in under the bucket then a plastic plug that went into the OEM headlight bucket replacing the headlamp using the OEM parts to hold it into place. Don't toss out the faring or the mount people on EBay are looking for them when doing restores.

I hope to be at least for the first day. I will be in town the week before for a small class reunion and my plan was the next week with this but my daughter wants to come to Boston that week so I'm on the fence for the first day.....
-
Ok I checked the slides and there are no ball bearings so they should be greased.
-
Well not bad but nothing like a Sears Craftsman or like a my Kenedy but not to bad. I will need to grease them a some but really not bad. You can tell they are on balls but nothing like a high quality box. Worth the 150 I feel but at full price of 300 I would save my money for a better box.
-
I picked up one of these yesterday for my shed. The size is just right to keep the bike tools and "stuff" in and the price is right at $150.00.

I had a card with them a few years ago and was making payments on time and low and behold they call me one night and inform me I missed a payment. Well somehow my payment arrived 2 weeks late to them which I know for a fact didn't happen but you can't win so my interest went from 7% to 28%. Well the next day I sent a registered letter with the full payment to the Head of collections at Capital One informing him of my enclosed full payment on my account and to close my account because of what I believed to be shady business practices. Well the phone calls and apologies that followed were a nice attempt but sorry you bagged me once and that will never happen again. My advice on them... run as far and as fast as you can the other way.......

I have an 06 had real bad whine had a dealer replace the clutch basket with the "I" basket now it only whines when down shifting but pull in the clutch and it stops. One would think if it was the clutch gears they are enguaged all the time so why does it stop when the clutch releases, pressure released from the teeth....

New Idea for Air Filters
PGunn replied to dlhoulton's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
If these have mounting holes in the flange you could use my mod for the filter boxes and mount these in place of the hypercharges. -
Try this one, I took the "picture" version of the service manual and ran it through Adobe Pro 10 optical scan process and turned it into a text searchable pdf. All the security is gone from it also. https://sendnow.acrobat.com/?i=UiJies-4WtTSawScVI5e6Q

Brian thanks for the warning but in your word doc did you kill all the live links in it, turn it into plain text before uploading it? I have not looked as these are all pretty the same as the other phishing emails out there. Just asking because I have had worse happen to me when I was doing PC Support one guy sent me a whole 4 days of forwarded spam when I was on vacation. I thanked him in the kindest manors I could at the time....
