The CMS will probably flash with the brake modulator but should go off completely once the brake light goes solid. If you have LED brake lights then you will have already jumped out the CMS.

A headlight modulator will not work with a HID headlight. Depending on the specific LED head light the modulator may or may not work. A headlight modulator works by raising and lowering the voltage to the headlight, it never actually turns the headlight off, it just dims it. A LED element runs on around 4 volts, so there is some kind of voltage reduction built into the LED "ballast". If that reduction is in the form of a regulator, the regulator may smooth out the voltage fluctuations coming from the modulator and the LED will stay steady on, IF there is just a power resistor in that ballast, then the voltage fluctuations will make it thru to the LED element and you will get something from the modulator. A modulator by law is required to fluctuate from full bright to dim, NOT off. with the LED the dim part may turn the LED off, This would make it a flashing light and not a modulated light and would be illegal to use. Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer of the specific LED that you have to see if it will work with a modulator.

Even a MLB baseball player. If you hit the ball one out of 3 times up you are considered a great batter and will be paid many millions for that.

That has already been thought of......... The shed is hled together with pan head screws. I already had to remove the center screw in the door frame for windshield clearance.

The weather Saturday for the M&E looks like it will be sunny but cool. We can turn the M&E into a mini MD. How many VentureRiders does it take to sync some carbs..........? I am building one of the electronic Sync tools, it that works out well, I "might" sell my Morgan carb tune. Puc, You said it, You ain't that far away, You should come to the M&E over here...... Maybe can get you a guided tour of the famous Snowper Charger and the jet powered snowflake.

I must be in my 70's.

Does the length of the white spacer have an effect on the hight of the front end when the bike is completely unloaded, not even a driver? With my old worn out springs the top of my windshield clears the door frame to my shed by less than 1/8 inch, if the front sits any higher with the progressives it will hit going thru the door. If there is an increase in height, can I slide the fork tubes up in the triple tree to get the door clearance back?

I think you done good so far if the OP shows no interest by the end of today, it yours. A lot also has to do with the forum. There are some forums where the proper protocol would be to snap up the item and then launch a preemptive string of profanity at the OP to the effect of you snooze you loose. Fortunately this forum attracts people that do not think that way.

Cool beans. Now that you have a fast bike again maybe you can sneak off next weekend for Milwaukee M&E.

Maybe the marks are so that if you take it apart you can get it back the same way it was. As in once the parts wear in together, you want to keep the same relative position. Of course this is just a WAG on my part. I really know nothing, and will admit to less.

KY I'm not sure we can beat, Not worried about anyone else........ This is Wisconsins year. They just have crazy good players. They are all good shooters, none are selfish. You double team the big guy and the uncovered guy will stick it in the hole.

That is not a turbine, (I have other planes with turbines...) It is a Pulse Jet, just like on the V-1. The V-2 was a liquid fueled rocket more like a ballistic missile, designed to go mostly straight up and straight down, the V-1 was more like a cruise missile designed to fly fairly level to its target. That pic of the end of the jet is looking in the small end of the jet. I'll get you some more pics later........ I have 2 other airplanes on the bench that are nearly finished but I have to finish them first to make room for this one. So It will be a while before I really get into this one. Once I do get into this one, it will take a long time to finish. While it looks nearly complete, that is just a fiberglass shell, I have to design and build all of the internal structures, and fuel systems and control systems. There is really not much to a pulse jet engine, they are very simple devices. Mine has just one moving part and that is a read valve on the intake. There are pulse jets that have NO moving parts. They have been known to be put on bikes. See how I worked in a MC reference...... If you ever get headed west while CTFWing be sure to let me know and stop on by.

For my power block, the always hot block is fed direct from the battery thru a 40 Amp MAXI fuse. Each accessory still gets its own fuse from there. The switched side is fed direct from the battery thru a 30 Amp fuse and a relay. The control side of the relay can be connected to any convenient circuit that comes on and off with the switch. Each accessory still gets its own fuse from there. This way none of your added accessories are pulling power thru the bikes electrical system other than the charging system. Saves wear and tear on the weak ignition switch.

I sure hope you get to play WI.......

On my bike I added power and ground terminal blocks. The ground block goes direct to the battery negative. The power block is half direct to battery and half switched to only come on with the key. Your bike is now 10 years old and still aging, there are so many posts of electrical issues that end up being ground issues. If it is grounding to a steel frame it will eventually rust and compromise the ground. The higher the amps, the faster it dies.

I actually use some of that boiler plate in my adds. It actually seems to help cut down on the pin heads.

It could be. Those 3 bolts are supposed to be red loctite AND staked to keep them tight. If they came loose the holes may have become slightly enlarged but not enough to show visible cracking yet. Simply tightening them will not keep them in. You may have to get new bolts so that you can install them with red loctite and stake them in. Be sure to give the loctite at least 24 hours to reach full strength. It certainly is wort the cheap try. If you have to replace anything more than just the screws and the gasket, I would contact Dano to get the upgraded starter clutch.

Since this weekend will be the first weekend of spring, I think some SNOW would be appropriate....... ...... Just for remembrance........

OK Puc you asked for it...... Seeing as this is the first one of these to enter the USA I am doing a build thread on this for a couple of model aircraft forums. It also means that I will be doing a lot of learning as I go.

Oy vey!

WOW!!! I can't help but to say something, this just has me totally amazed. Tuesday March 17 at 10:27 am I made an internet purchase from Germany. The box to ship this was 4 feet x 5 feet x 8 inches, and weighed about 28 lbs. It was picked up at the sellers house by DHL International Express on Tuesday at 13:41 on 3-17-15. It was delivered to me today at 14:27 on 3-19-15. This just blows my mind that a big package can get from Germany to Wisconsin, with customs thrown in, in just 50 hours, 46 minutes. I mailed a USPS small flat rate box to travel just 90 miles and it took 5 days to get there. My hat is off to DHL for whatever they are doing, they are doing it right. In all fairness I must admit that when the tracking first came up online a few minutes after the package pickup. I laughed that it said the expected delivery was by the end of the day on 3-19-15. I figured no way in he11. I had this delivered to my work so that it would not be sitting in front of my house looking like a big flat screen TV. Now I am chomping at the bit to get home to open the big box and check out my new toys.

At least it is back to running. Now you can go back to being a blow hard.......
