Once again at MD I will have a supply of free plates to put under your side stand when parked on a soft surface. There may be a few bikes parked on the grass at MD. The plates are polished Stainless Steel about 4.125" diameter x 5" long, with 2 tabs . All you have to do is to find me and introduce yourself and ask for one. I have about 30 to give away to those that need or want one.

It is better to save the money for a deer hunting license and an appropriate firearm. Deer that are in your freezer or in the frying pan are unable to jump in front of anyone or to reproduce to make more road hazards. But since you brought up deer. Its that time of year when the moms are giving birth to the new crop of deer and last years young are being kicked out of home. There are young deer running around that are in unfamiliar territory and may not know how to cross the street.

Thats OK, you can have it, I like the 50s we have here.

It is not based on a fixed price difference between grades. Back when gas was $2.00 there was a $0.10 difference between grades. Now that gas is $4.00 there is a $.20 difference between grades. WAY back when gas was $1.00, there was a $.05 difference between grades. See the pattern yet? In all cases it is a 5% difference in price per grade. So as the price continues to rise the difference will continue to grow. Now as to why the price of gas just jumped $0.25 overnight. Because they can, and since all brands jump the same amount at the same time proves that there is no price fixing. Cuz we all know that price fixing is illegal.

:sign yeah that: You have to jumper both the tail and brake light circuit if you go LED tail lights. As long as you are in there, if you have any intention of ever converting the headlight to HID (highly recommended) then just jumper all of the reed switches.

People have been known to fix small holes in the diaphragms with either RTV or liquid electrical tape. this is just a temporary fix.

How about an up close and personal chance to meet the pond monster...... .......assuming that the pond monster is home at the time.

The flasher relay and self cancel are both part of the same module.

Just what line 2 says. It is almost impossible to initiate a turn without counter steering. Everyone does it, most do not realize that they do it. Drive thru a wet spot on the pavement. Once you get onto dry pavement start a turn. Now go back and look at your tire tracks that you just made. You will see that the front wheel first went to the right to start a left hand turn, or to the left to start a right hand turn. This is counter steering. Now try to make that turn so that the tire tracks do not show counter steering. Get your $5 dropped bike donation ready. If you just turn the bars to the right and hold them there, you will instantly fall over to the left. What his point is. Once you learn what counter steering is, you will be able to initiate that emergency turn quicker by not waiting for you brain to have to process all of the steps. Every split second counts in an emergency maneuver.

It made sense to me...... What part has you cornfused?

If you want a real hoot, go to Google earth and get driving directions from Annies to MD.

What Pete said, sort of. If the positive got hot and the neg did not, 99% chance that there was a bad connection at the positive terminal. Could be either corrosion or loose. Don't forget the possibility of there being a bad connection between the cable and the terminal.

87 most of the time. If available ethanol free in whatever grade its in. I tried 93 for a full year, I did get better mileage, but not by enough to justify the cost. When traveling with the trailer, I use the 93 just for the better mileage and to heck with the $$$, I'm on vacation.

It is common to find water inside of the TCI. For some reason there is a hole in the case to let water in but not out. If it is moisture causing the problem sometimes they can be dried out and saved. Once damage is done it is to late to do the diodes.

Does the voltmeter in the dash work? Voltmeter is on the same fuse. Sounds more like it could be a ground issue.

If you had air leaks and fixed them, it is realistic that you will need to turn up the idle.

I just finished a complete rewire on my trailer including the center brake light and my nifty controller module so that the light will work correctly. I have enough parts to make one more controller...........

If you can, rig up a digital volt meter so that you can tell if the headlight is occasionally getting bright to where it is supposed to be and dim the rest of the time or if it is right most of the time and occasionally getting brighter than it should be. You will be able to tell from the voltage. Having a voltmeter is a good thing anyhow.

Or you could move up here where you get all winter to work on stuff.....:snow2::snow2:

Get a good head of speed and hydroplane..........

Any progress? I sure hope you get this sorted before your interview. Do you have a plan B for the interview? Now I'm seeing double....... Now I'm seeing double.......

It gets all of the air it needs. If you do something to increase air you will have to rejet the carbs or it will run lean.

You could use the load resistors to "trick" the monitor into thinking that it has regular bulbs. But then you lose all of the amps that you were saving by switching to LED. The sensors on a first gen are a reed switch inside of a coil of wire. A reed switch is a small glass tube with a wire coming in each end. the contacts inside are made of a type of iron. The way that this works is that at the correct current level thru the coil it generates enough of a magnetic field to cause the iron contacts in the reed switch to be attracted to each other and close the circuit. You could wind new coils using a lot more turns of wire so that the magnetic field will be strong enough at a lower amperage so the reed switch will still make contact at the LED amperage. It would take a bunch of messing around to figure out what the new windings would have to be. Then you would have to build in install them on the PCB. Or you could try to find different reed switches that would close with a weaker magnetic field.

Troublemaker........ You had to mention R&P Carriages where I could see it. I had forgotten about them........ I want to make a run down there to get a new axle assembly with 7 inch electric brakes to add to my HF trailer. They seem to have a lot of stuff at good prices. You can never have to many lights. Tonight (weather permitting) I am adding an 11 LED center brake light to my trailer with a controller circuit board to make the center brake light work correctly.

My delicate derriere will thank you.......
