Mike Eykamp offers a swap or will rebuild yours if you don’t want to dive off in it.

The electronic side of this is my weakest part. In my head (scary place to be) the switch controls power to the coils and the TCI controls the ground. If that’s correct and you have power to the coils it would point to the TCI and/or the connectors to it. Hopefully somebody with more knowledge will step in here.

The proper pronunciation down here is “all y’all”.

We’re gonna need some of y’all from the Eh team. Who else can we make fun of?

Look in the read only tech section at the ignition bypass, that should give enough info to be able to check it without drilling it out. I installed the bypass relay and keep parts in my kit to totally bypass it if it dies on the road.

Just ride it faster than that. 😁

It’s only 8 hours @ 200 MPH. 😬😬😬

Welcome to the nuthouse we call home. Great looking bike, Tons of fun and miles of smiles on built in it, all kinds of help here keeping em going.

Welcome back.

Prayers up.

Yeah, he and Murph both left a big hole going out of business. Mic Mutes and the Bluestreak are two of my favorite mods and no longer available.

But I’m young and impressionable. Gave in to peer pressure.

There is an automotive thermostat that can interchange cheaper. Napa part # 455318. Part stores should be able to cross reference that. Way cheaper than $60.

@dfitzbiz

Heck with him, I’m still trying to figure out how my $12 has gotten so expensive. Between mods, maintenance, and rallies this place cost me a fortune. 🤣🤣🤣

@skydoc_17 is the guy, look in member vendors.

Everybody knows all the cool kids hang out here anyway.

Which one? If I’m on it I won’t be anymore.

I tried to recommend Ed’s splitter cable (Buddy Rich cable) to someone and their web presence is gone. I googled it and a GW site says he’s ill and closed down. I’m using his splitter and Bluestreak cell integration and they work great.

It looks like there is enough interest to move forward with this, I will start checking with the state park about pavilion usage rules and camping accommodations. I will get in touch with Don about scheduling to make sure we have dates that will work for Maintenance Day and start making plans. There is a lady here in town that has had annual get togethers for several years that has volunteered her time to assist with planning. Since I'm a go big or go home type of guy lets try to get a crowd. For any that want to come early to check out the lake there are boat and jet ski rentals at the park along with bait and tackle. KY has a 1 day and 7 day fishing permits for out of staters.

I’d replace the thermostat as the first step as it’s cheap and is a good idea to swap out periodically anyway.

I’m doing my best to make it, hope some of y’all down south can make it up here next summer to a KY rally.

Welcome to the circus. You’re in the right place to keep her on the road. The water pump or thermostat is usually the overheat issue but also check the bypass at the bottom of the radiator to make sure it’s turned in the right direction.

Contact me before you go, I am trying to work it out so that I can go too. I'm supposed to be moving my daughter in a dorm in Huntsville that Saturday but trying to get it moved to Sunday. If it works out we can ride down together if you're interested.
