  1. memory not what it use to be, I believe the person who did the pin stripe work said it would come off with laquer thinner. not sure about this.
  2. I have heard the same. just a little apprehensive to try it. hoping to find someone who has had success.
  3. to those members who had pinstripping done while attending rallys and probably had a few beers before making the decision to enhance your paint job. how do you remove it without damaging the paint?
  4. It was no worse then any flu shot we have had over the course of our lives. a little sore around the shot sit on the first shot and a little sleepy after the scond shot.
  5. I forgot to mention them, I also have delt with them. very good company and good prices.
  6. try mike eykamp. or pinwall
  7. sounds good. need to post the dates on the calendar with a sign up list.
  8. Robin says yes! so I guess I have to show up too. You might want to check with Don to see if he is going to plan a maintenance day for June so the dates don't over lap.
  9. remove the tank and check the main power connection to the ignition switch. it is the connection with 2 wires. see if it is fried. happen to me from corrosion. you might have fried it by putting 12v back through the ground when you touched the frame with your charger wire.
  10. Will not be attending this year. we have attended or work at every rally since joining VR in 2010 and have enjoyed everyone of them and very much enjoy the company of everyone of you who have attended. We have decided to spend some time this year traveling the country as much as possible. covid has shown us that life is short. we will see all of you at the next rally, or maybe another VR rally. We would very much like to see other members set up their own rally so we can gather somewhere other then NY. stay safe.
  11. Me thinks the map has a hick up or three. it shows Robin and me in Davenport Iowa, should be port byron ny.
  12. I believe but can not verify something very abnormal happen to this bike at some point long before i took ownership. Probably before it was triked.
  13. Last i read a couple days ago, the cdc said they traced less then 300 people that got c19 and 1 death. Stop reading the b.s. on social media.
  14. Bongo would indeed be pleased. the switch is only about an inch or 2 higher and fully functional.
  15. after getting in out of its hiding spot I opened it up and found both contacts broken off and just floating around in side, replaced it with another switch I picked up last time I had this problem. I relocated the switch to a easier to get to spot just in front of the ignition switch. don't really need a tip over switch on a trike so this should work out ok.
  16. I got it! after two years of not knowing for sure what the problem was/is I went back to the tip over switch and sure enough its bad or a wire at the switch is bad. Now i just have to figure out how to get the dam thing out of where it is.
  17. everything in the ignition system has been replaced except the coils. the coils are independent of each other so its highly unlikely all 4 coils are bad, plus they are the same coils as the last time this happened and it been running on them for 2 years now. something is telling the command module to not send voltage to the coils.
  18. re ruled out the tip over when i tried a different switch with same results.
  19. pick up coil replaced with stator 5000 mile ago.
  20. new switch, change it out last time this happened so now i have 2 good ignition switches. did yours turn over the starter and did all the electrical stuff still work? everything on the bike works I just don't have any juice going to the plugs. 0 spark.
  21. ,99 RSV will not start. no spark at the plugs, battery fine, not a fuel problem, everything works, so probably not ignition switch. starter turns over just fine. Has a new coil pickup, new ignition relay and ignitor box. when i put a spark tester on a plug i get a very faint spark when i hit the start button then nothing. some of you may remember i had the same problem 2 years ago and we really never figured it out, it just kind of fixed its self. well is back!
