  1. Installed the SpeedoHealer last summer. Speedometer originally read 8.5% high. I now have a GPS and find that the speedometer reads correctly. However, the odometer now reads 5% less than actual. Not a major drawback, but something to keep in mind.
  2. Mark, I've got a combustion analyzer that I use on boilers. But I don't know where these engines should run, plus If we stick the probe in either exhaust, we'll be reading two cylinders. Does anyone know what "% O2" (oxygen) readings are typical? (20.9% O2 in air). Also typical CO (carbon monoxide) in parts per million? Leland
  3. NO. If it was my bike, I would have Mark do it.
  4. Scott, I'm in Littleton, south of Southwest Plaza. I have a Morgan Carbtune and have set mine a couple of times, but I am no expert. Everything I know, I've learned on this site. But you are welcome to it. Leland
  5. TFD69, Thanks for the input, but like I said, I used a Powerlet plug, not a cigarette lighter plug. As stated before, the Powerlet (BMW style) plug was designed to be a current carrying device. Best regards, Leland
  6. Eck, If you go to www.powerlet.net , you will see all of their products and a description of the Powerlet (BMW) style plug. Now being used by Triumph and Ducati also. Like Powerlet saids, the cigarette lighter plug was never meant to be a current carrying device. These are. Thanks for your kind comments, Leland
  7. I've added a few accesories to my '06 RSTD. (Disregard picture date stamps) The first picture is Baron Sub Sonic Tach. I did not have to lengthen any wires to install. Second picture shows the Kuryakyn LED voltage meter. Following the advise of past posts here, I ran a dedicated (#16) wire from my relay contact to the meter. I wired the coil of the relay to the RSTD supplied accessory wiring lead (under seat), so the relay is made when the ignition switch is in "ACC" position. Meter shows one green light with the engine off and two green lights with the engine on - passing lamps on or off. Third picture is a Garmin Zumo and a clutch side switch from www.BigBikeParts.com . The switch came with three toggle switches. I removed the center one, enlarged the hole and added a www.Powerlet.net socket. Powerlet also supplied the plug to the Zumo. The Dealer had installed the Passing Lamps as part of my negotiations. I removed their crappy wiring and useless lamp mounted toggle switch. Rewired to the 1st toggle switch of clutch side switch (2nd toggle for "Future"). Power for this switch is from the same relay as volt meter with a dedicated #14 wire feed. Now my headlight and passing lamps are on different fuses. Forth picture shows Garmin Zumo and Clearview windshield. The red button on the Garmin mount is to toggle the Tach's LED light colors. Fifth picture is a Powerlet socket mounted to the plastic cover. It is wired in parallel with the clutch side switch off of the relay. Sixth picture is the Garmin mount removed. Seventh picture is of two Powerlet sockets mounted on left side in front of saddle bag. These are wired direct (fused) to the battery. Plug the Battery Tender Jr. in here with Powerlet supplied adapter. If I ever get any heated riding gear, I've got a plug. Last picture is under the seat showing Powerlet fuses and added relay. I like these Powerlet (BMW style) plugs. They are smaller than a cigarette plug and carry more current. I think they will become the standard for motorcycles. In the mean time, I have a Powerlet to cigarette plug adapter.
  8. www.bigbikeparts.com has the switch for the left side (clutch).
  9. Anybody tried So. Cal. Cycle Seats? socalcycleseat.com These guys will add gel inserts into your stock seat for $200.00 (rider & passanger), plus frt.
  10. Powerlet (www.Powerlet.net) offers numerous "BMW" style plugs. They come prewired with an inline fuse for connecting to the battery. I just mounted a couple in the plastic panel above the left hand passenger's floorboard on my '06 RSTD. I also got the Battery Tender Jr. adapter which is very convenient. This winter I plan on mounting another one (and a volt meter) on the speedometer, using the auxilary DC power supply to power the coil of a relay. I think that the "BMW" style plug is superior over a cigarette lighter style plug and it is also smaller. They also offer a cigarette lighter adapter.
  11. Yamaha P/N STR-1D608-80-00, Lower Deflectors. Around $180.00. I put them on my '06 RSTD and like them.
  12. I also have an '06 RSTD with the stock seat. Thirty-some years ago, I thought I was Evel Knievel and broke my tailbone. I found a great amount of relief with the Diamond-R driver's backrest. Plus, it takes miles to break-in any new seat. Leland
  13. They call Ouray "Switzerland of America". Some of the nicest scenery in the country.
