    I dont think youll get it to match either. Any good paste wax (one that dries to a film and then buff off) should help, but wont make it match. Its kind of like when your out working in the yard and your arms get sun burned but because you had a shirt on your back aint. Maybe "clay baring" it would help some also. I dont know as I havent tried a clay bar yet, but a couple of the guys I work with have used on thier car and liked the results.

    I have a really hard time "getting into the spirit". Something about spending more than you have made almost all year. All the family get together drama, scheduling whos gonna be where and spend what day with witch family etc. And not to mention the hours to dig the christmas decorations etc out, time putting them up, then storing the boxs again for 4 weeks when you repeat the whole process again to pack up. Grrrrr Taking a cruise to Hawaii would be soooo much easier.

    Saw it on news last night. The guy from Amazon said probably 3 years out. They wanted to be sure they didnt drop it on someones head or into pool or something. At least they are thinking thru it, instead of just forcing it to work like.............some stuff our government has come up with.

    Try a local muffler shop. They should have stainless muffler pipe. (most cars now have stainless) They should be able to fishmouth the pipe and make you a perty nice piece. Being it has a shield to go over it the part dont have to be show quality. Shoot Id see if they could make it a tick bigger at the union and swedge down to fit the mufflers and pipes. If you look over on the first gen side I have seen some pretty nice work arounds those fellows have goten made up to the ancestrial bike.

    I dunno I thought it was the kind discribed earlier in this post. It is shown in one of post. It plugs into a 3.5mm plug, orginaly it goes to a lap top. Bob here is the listing for the mic.
  6. djh3
    Yes headsets work fine. Matter of fact I added a cable from up front under the faring that I run a 3.5mm for ear buds back to normal headset connection. Everything works great. Just trying to figure out this mic deal. I may be barking up the wrong tree or something here trying to make something.

    New Toy

    djh3 replied to Daitan's topic in Watering Hole

    I needed a reciever hitch for a dodge pickup I had. Sure didnt want to buy a new hitch, like you say they are high. Try the local salvage yards. Pretty hard to hurt one ya know. I gave about 1/2 of what a new one was.

    I was baffled at the photes being in excell. I aint never seen that before.

    Is it not just the standard 5 pin plug type? You need from the bike to your helmet?

    I cant belive you expected them to do thier job correctly. Geeze. The important thing is now you can start a t-shirt collection. Did you get it with the sat nav? I understand they pre-program them with all the HD dealers across the US. I dunno why. Seriously though nice looking bike hope you all enjoy.

    Well guess I'll hold dropping the $$ until I see yours and ask some questions.
  12. djh3
    OK so guess I'lll have to study up on this a bit more.

    Was on another site today and a fellow found an LED headlight for H4 use. He also mentioned they had bulbs for the passing lights (H3) here is a link. Under $50 shipped to me.

    got something simular a couple months back. Something about needing to update my info for them. I promtly went directly to the pay pal site to see if there was anything there simular. Nope. But I can tell you I was pretty close to cliking the link, they really get them looking like the real deal.

    About that time I was ridin one of them orange Huskys. 100 Ace I think. Still though if I understand the Apple gizmos rite they all hook up and work about the same. Just have different features. So if you got the cable it should work the same. I think I read of a fellow that was using his phone inplace of the I-pod.

    Yea I dont understand why to make a bypass for the ignition switch if you still have to use the switch to make it run? The red and Br/b wire is like the main power but if the switch fries and your unlucky enough that it cooks the ecu side also your done. So what if you put 2 switches hidden to control the circuits. What other wires would you have to connect and how? I kind of tried t study the schematic in Carbon ones write up but aint getting a grasp on it neither.

    OH my. Guess whoever was really going for the Harley sound. Short of welding it I guess you could use the methiod we were talking about and drill a hole thru and slide a cotter key thru both pieces to hold your added part on. But I would think you could tack weld a longer piece in there and acomplish it alot nicer.
  19. djh3
    Is the piece in the vise longer than what you have now?

    Bob I think that one jives with the diagrham I posted. Still naada. No click nothing. Sort of stumped.
  21. djh3
    Dont know if its exactly correct but should be something like Air Injection System. It blows clean air up the EPA's exhaust so it will read cleaner on thier meter. Sort of. It injects air into the exhaust to suposedly help it "finnish burning" the gas on the way out. If your over Lauderdale way get with Brake Pad he might have a sync. If not I got one. WE have a meet n eat comming up soon.

    Bought my 09 in Jan of 2012. It had 7400 miles on it. At my last oil change and look over about 4 weeks ago it had 27688. considering the first bloke put 2400 a year on, I put about 10K a year. LOL

    Here is some info on a bulb that will truely make a difference. It has more wattage than the standard bulbs. 80w lo and 100w high. I have run them in my Kawasaki and also in this bike prior to going the HID route. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Wagner-BP1210H4-Miniature-Lamp/dp/B000CR3UW6]Wagner BP1210H4 Miniature Lamp : Amazon.com : Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41n7oGVhB7L.@@AMEPARAM@@41n7oGVhB7L[/ame] They are available @ NAPA. I ran a modulator when I had this bulb and was sorry to give it up when I went to HID.

    YEA 10-4 on that. Especially if you had the fairing apart lately. When I dropped the light bar to gain acess it pulled the wires down which I was OK with. I just wasnt very good about tucking them back up after I put the fairing back together. Pinched them bad boys knocked out the passing lamps, markers and something else. I think the headlight still worked. It was a mess to try and fix without pulling wires all the way out.

    I bought my Craftsman jack for my 900 Vulcan when I had it. First thing was the jack its self wasnt going to work. So long before I knew anything about a carbon 1 adapter I built a simular unit for the Kawi. I modified it a tad to use with the Venture.
