    Ahhh... I get it now. I was wondering why you were talking about floorboard part numbers. I cant be any help here since I've never seen ones like that before.
  2. RoyalStarRider
    You are making this alot harder than it needs to be. All you need to do is make sure they will fit the diameter of your bars.

    I also have a Hoppe batwing on mine.....love it!

    Thast definitly a Hoffe Fairing...... I have the same one on my bike.

    A couple of weeks ago I stopped to pick up lunch, as I opened my saddle bag the lid just fell to the ground.... talk about getting pissed. Luckily its was an easy fix and didnt do much damage to the paint.... I too have started going over nuts and bolts to make sure everything is good and tight.

    Just curious...... I've dropped mine 4 times...... 3 times sitting completely still and once when it stalled while pulling out. Luckily it didnt get one scratch..... but I have admit even though I'm a big guy the RSTD is pretty heavy when you pick it up yourself.

    I have the drivers pillow top on mine (well I did until a couple of days ago) and the previous owner simply used 2 small "L" brackets to attach it to the frame (in the stock position)... cant help you with the passengers seat.

    Well I broke down and put it back to stock (again) I did do one little thing I made the new hoses alittle bit longer so theres no binding or kinking..... PLUS I repositioned the hose more into the center of the air flow and it seems to have improved throttle responce. The next time I decide to go messing with it I'm gonna go ahead and punch myself in the nuts.... it'll be less painful than trying to go through this again.

    Awhile back I ran into trouble by opening up the airboxs on my RSTD and I ended up putting it back to stock because there wasnt enough vacuum to work the diaphrams correctly. Last night I had the "bright Idea" to relocate the vacuum for the diaphrams out of the air box and into the rubber tubes leading to the plenum..... WOW was that a mistake. Now it seems I have TOO MUCH vacuum and the carbs dump to fast and cause the bike to bog really bad. SO it looks like back to stock once again.... theres got to be away to increase airflow while keeping the carbs working right. Anyone have any ideas (other than leave it the hell alone LOL)?

    Well last night me and a buddy got tired of messing around with this problem so we got serious with it. We pulled off the tank and seat and started chasing wires, the front switch was working correctly, so was the the foot switch. We could hear the relay kicking in and out while using the brakes, so we kept chasing wires. We finally got the the connection under the seat, unplugged it and started testing the individual wires. We found out that the issues was not there so it had to be farther back, we kept on testing stuff like the socket itself with no avail. Thats when I noticed wires behind the liscense plate..... what a rats nest. I dont know who did the slash and hack job on the wires or WHY that did it but if I ever find out I'm gonna kick them in the nuts. The running light and brake light wires were wrapped togther.... and they both had bare spots which was letting voltage bleed over from one to the other. Finally I can go ride without wondering if the car behind me is gonna run over me at the next stop sign.

    This is my last 12 hour midnight this week, Hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow. Maybe I looked at it wrong but I didnt see any connection at the sensor itself.
  12. RoyalStarRider
    The wires on mine go into the switch and dont appear to be unconnectable at that point, so I'm guessing the connection somewhere under the tank. I've had it off several times so that wont be a problem. the problem right now is I'm in the middle of 6-12 hour shifts and dont have time to go out and look at it like I want to.
  13. RoyalStarRider
    Yeah........ theres NO plug on it at the front brake lever. It bolts to the front brake lever but the harness goes down and dissapears under the tank.
  14. RoyalStarRider
    Where does it plug in at??? Under the tank or somewheres else?? I ask because my brake light is stuck on, I disconnected the foot switch and it stayed on so it pretty much narrowed it down to the front.

    Well it was a long day but I made some awsome progress. I started out by installing new plugs, pulled the carbs off and drained the bowls (didnt realize I could do it with them on the bike) and I also drained the tank...... i think I got some bad gas on top of everything else...... I also readjusted the A/F mixture. apparently stock is 2 full turns out and I have mine set at 2 1/2 turns. All of that really helped the issue but didnt cure it...... luckily I tried one last thing. I sealed the holes I cut into the filter boxes and re routed the hoses that went to them. I didnt realize the hoses were the vents to the diaphrams on the carbs, so after getting them back into original configureation I started it up and went for a test ride. This is the best its ran since I bought it, I can definitly say that the carbs need to be fattened up from stock. Thanks for all your input!!!!
