    Trunk painting to match bike

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    I do it as a hobby. I can't paint during the winter. No heat in the garage. Just in the warmer weather. The heat Saturday made it hard to spray the clear, but I got it. Should be wrapped up later this week. Earleier if I end up layed off. We have no work and I predict there will be lay-offs soon!
    Sorry to hear that. So if you have any opening on any time let me know. At least you can make some money...

     

    Thanks

    Ok,

     

    This is what happens when you trying not to do something from the beginning....

     

    I was trying not to take of the fairing from the bike, and of course I have to.

     

    All the problem finally was that the cables inside the fairing that connects both front turn lights were disconnected.

     

    Everything is ok, except that I found a little break in the ABS below the headlight. So, I need to find my kit of Plastex to repair it.

     

    This allways happens, you try to fix something, and finish fixing all....

     

    Thanks to eveybody for the help...

    Joe,

     

    Are you going to paint the bike to match the trunk Now????

     

    :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

     

    Ah, BTW pictures are on my gallery.

     

    I'll require your painter services. I already found a couple of details on the fairing and the front fender...

     

    Hope to see the full bike completed soon....

     

    Regards,

    Bkuhr,

     

    Thanks for the manuals, but still the diagrams belongs to the RS97, not the RSV.

     

    Since I still have the RS97 are welcome any way... But the diagrams of the bike without the fairing and with 4 mufflers are exactly the ones that match my RS.

     

    Checking the wires, now I shut my left front turn signal. If there is no fuse, then I 'm in a different kind of trouble, but I 'm feeling that there is on line fuses inside the fairing, like on the Venture Royale 84.

     

    Thanks,

    Yes,

     

    As said only the rear right turn flashes. I believe that the first thing to do is clean the turn switch to see if that clean the contact. As I said before, the bulb is Ok. Already jumped the wire to check if the wiring was ok and bulb was doing good contact.

     

    the Switch for Alert (right and left at once) also works on three lights. So I keep feeling that I need to follow the green cable inside the fairing up to the turn switch.

     

    The problem is that I never take off this fairing, so I don't want to damage it. It will be a good time to add the wiring for the CD player.

     

    Thanks,

    Brian,

     

    I finished to purchase this bike. I asked the previous owner and he said that he didn't knew about this, but I have my suspects about it since I found a bulb 1157 on the trunk.

     

    On the Green Wire below the fairing I have no signal, and the bulb is Ok. I found a flashing relay below the right side cover, and I can feel it clicking on and off, and the panel and back are flashing faster, and that is the part that I don't get.

     

    If the cable is cutted the Resistance is bigger than expected (I assume the two lamps are going on parallel, then time constant is bigger what give you a lower frequency of flashing.

     

    And here is totally opposite...

     

    Now I need to follow the green wire until the flashing relay, and that could finish on take off all the fairing, which I'm trying to not to have to.

    Ok,

     

    I take of the turn light assembly on the front. It seems that position light turn on ok, but no signal comes from the flasher. Following the wire until below the Headlight it connects to a green wire that also doesn't come with flashing power. Is any non documented fuse on the system?

     

    Where the flashing relay is located on the Venture 2 gen?

     

    Thanks,

    Is the R rear flashing? Already said dash is flashing. Seems flasher circuit is ok.

    Looking at wiring diagram, appears disconnects on each of 3 wires to remove front turn assembly. Clean the dark Greenwire disconnect, as well as the 2 raised 'pins' in the bottom of the light socket. Also make sure using correct 2 filiment bulb. Not sure but I think it should be a 1157 type bulb.

    No, it is the R front flashing light.

     

    I'll check if the bulbs I have are all ok, then I'll check wire by wire but never take of the fairing on the 2000 VR. So I don't know where I need to start looking for.

     

    Let you know as soon as I go through this.

     

    Thanks,

    Ok,

     

    I found the first problem:

     

    I was realizing that the right turn panel light was blinking faster than the right one when after check that the lamp on front was lighted but not blinking.

     

    It was on due to the position, but the second filament didn't not power on.

     

    I assumed that was the bulb (I didn't saw the filament broken but it could be the contact) so purchased a new one, but still the same.

     

    So, since I never followed this wiring on the VR is something special to take care looking for this problem?

     

    Anybody had this problem before?

    Yes,

     

    Some people remove that and put tachs, amp and oil pressure gauges on it.

     

    IMHO with the speedometer looking as a the ones of the 50's car, why not...

     

    At least the auxiliary input is there, and more usefull than the cassettes...
