Yesireee Larry...That is very cool!

Glad you were able to save it Eck! Guess you finely earned your "WATER WINGS"

She is rough around the edges and has some small cracks and scratches on the fairing. Was also thinking about a color change, not sure yet.

Did a little work on the 83 over the past few weeks and its beginning to look more like a bike every day. Have just over 300 miles on it since getting it running and with all hopes it heads for paint sometime next month. More to come once it is painted and back together

Not in California is isn't :)

My favorite app is the OFF button

Don't know much about trikes or the how the wings operate but if Sam was unable to get it done below is a place outside of Sacramento that does trike conversions and service, (including California Side Cars) and maybe they can provide some additional tech advice for him.

That's B.S. Did they check her phone for texting??? Sad Day, sorry for your loss Eck.

Last thing I want to do when out for a ride is answer a phone or check an email. That's why I get out and ride in the first place, to get away from all that junk.

Another use for PB...

Wow Eck You Okay??? You know what they say...If you fall of a ladder just get up, dust yourself off and get...no wait that's a horse. Sorry, stay on the ground

Offa Puc, Glad you got a "good" doctor. Good to hear things are going good.

Our best price was $1.74 but today we are already back up to $2.28. Oh, Goodie

As Eck stated it sounds like it may be battery related but also try turning the key back and forth a little to see if you can get contact. Turn the key to the run/start position then back slightly and see if the speedo or any of the info lights come on. If they do and stay on you should be able to start the bike once they activate. This would indicate the ignition switch contacts may be dirty or going bad.

Removing the lower fairings on a 2nd gen doesn't accomplish much except to open a lot of the electronics and other critical stuff to the elements. The fuse panels and other electrical contacts and connections are behind the lowers. I left the lowers of the 83 because I also like the wind blowing up my pant legs as well except when the bees are busy.

Can have the front portion of the fairing off in about 10 minutes or so which includes the windshield but, if there are passing lights on it these have to come loose as well unless you have the relocation mount installed. This requires a ball allen so you would have to have one available. Okay, I looked up the relays in the service manual since I had no idea what these were for, (should have done that yesterday) and there are 2 under the fairing. One is for the flasher relay (#27) by the factory power port and the other is for the hazard (#5) next to the port I added.

Connect this one to the factory wires for the aux port on the left side via a cut/solder/heat shrink method. Also while everything was easily accessible I cleaned and dielectric greased all the other connections before putting the fairing back on.

Since I was already doing some work on the 99 repairing the stripped out passing light bolt holes and already had the outer fairing off thought I would add an additional power port to the right side inner fairing. Picked up a USB dual power port and did the install last night. Connect this one to the factory wires for the aux port on the left side. May have to up the fuse amperage a bit but not going to do so if the stock fuse blows then will check for any grounding and if all good will up it 5 amps. "Here are the Pictures Puc"

So how far did it take you??? Good to get out.

Howdy, Welcome Back!

He is going to do what he wants to do and the most you can do is give him guidance on how to safely ride. Maybe take him to a parking lot and let him get use to the bike a few times before he heads out into the big wind.

I applaud your dedication, and/or craziness.

I replaced my stock RSV shield a few year ago with a Show Chrome 13" high windshield and love it. It is 2-1/2" wider than the stock and mounts the same way as the stock shield. If I remember correctly I think they offer these in stock heights, 17" plus a 13" and either a 10 or 11" also in clear or smoke. Here is what the clear shields look like.
