  2. Haven't found any wire problems yet. I got digital meter but confused how to use it. Having the rectifier tested, I'll know by tomorrow. PS wish you guys had a trade post, have some items like intercommunication for riding...
  3. Hey Guys and Girls that ride Baggers or wieght of bike ecceeding 800lbs, or R15 in the back. Im sure when you first started riding a bike or one with new tires your confidence in the tires that came with the bike kinda felt un easy. Hope I explained that properly lol. Well when some one Introduces a new product for your bike you may feel sceptical, wich in this case me!! But theres no feeling than trusting your tires to grip the road when leaning around those tight turns. Well Im not in to that any more, Im more in to long distance since my work takes me out of town alot its cheeper to ride. I use to go through two sets per summer. thats 25k miles 2 years in a row.. Now hardley that, just to work when out of town. My RSV has a VW 165 70 15 on the rear, it rides comfortable and smother than a bike tire to me and I can ride over 70mph consistantly through the rain. I can still lean just not as low.. and easyer at stops to keep upright.. I also broke the air shock and that is actualy helpfull in my case. just a little fix flat in it to give me some support. it sits real nice.. bye the way Black Betty has almost 87k
  4. Sorry Guy's just got to the library, Got two hrs..lol Bike is a 99 Yamaha Venture and as I said I toolk off the trunk and rack with arm grabs, kept pass seat. went from that champaine green to flat and satin black with a nice green accent on the valve covers. I made the mistake of cutting some wires witch left the lighting on when the radio was turned off, but added a kill switch to the radio so thats done. Yes a volks wagon 165, 15 on the back and as I said got 15 plus k on it and still has about 10k left maybe less maybe more. it rates for 44 lbs I like to lean in to the exit turns so I put 35 to 37 and check it evry time I leave the house. tell me how to show you a pick and would be glad to do so. Get a lot of complements, not on the paint so much but on the back tire and the street glide look. Well on to my elect prob is that some how when I bought the new battery on the road, it did not charge it died after an hour of riding. As REDRIVER asked Electric or Fuel related? I lost lights signal and both red light from left to right at the pannel showed up. Yesturday some one put a DC check on it and read 1161 to 1247 and jumped back and forth while idle. Thinking its the rectifier, Aftermarket 35$ dealer 110.00$ mmmm.. Im riding Black Betty but wont go far, My friends were deployed last week so I have know one to call on that can tow her back. Chief Englin USS Truman will return in 9months we hope.
  5. Fustrated with some of your Post's.. Im some what poor, Dont have the funds for a dealer to charge me 200 just to find a prob. Im not that nieve. I broke down couple weeks ago 200 miles from home, thank god I have freinds to come get my broke but..lol so an hour later Im back on the road and broke down again same prob , Just shut dow no power. well its home now battery charged , just dont trust it to take a long trip. to bad to, I miss getting away... Wish I could show you guys this bike, doesnt look like it should.. its flat blk with green valve covers, all done with raddle can paint..lol under 50.00$ and I took off the trunk and all the bells and wistles.. when Im more familier with whats going on, Ill show a pic or two. Oh yea I got a car tire on the back and its been there for over 15k miles and still got tread..
