OK Jeff you know you have to do a wireing diagrham right? Are you pulling your closed (on) voltage from your brake light for a relay? The 10 second relay would be about the easiest to do I think. You "should" wire in a relay anyways and if you just install the 10 second one your good to go. But your idea definatly has merrit my friend, and could easily be done I thin on mine or someone that has the switch installed. If someone has a source for the time delay relays post some links would ya please?? Are they available @ autozone or advance auto parts?

Barry pretty much plug and play. They are designed to be that way and are. But after some consultations with guys much smarter than me here it was suggested to run it thru a relay (the kit came with it) and also build a seperate on/off switch for the light circuit. The reason being the HID bulb has a "safe" circuit buit into it so if voltage is too low it will shut off. What happens is you turn key on, volts are good. Typicaly you hit starter and voltage drops below "safe" for light it goes off then when bike starts it comes back on. The lights are not really happy with a large amount of this on and off stuff. If you decide its something you want to do somewhere I have the schematic and can build you up an switch with a warning light for when its off. Also I think someone researched a time delay relay that was like 10 seconds after the bike started it would automaticly come on. Which would probably be the slick way to do it. But the HID is killer in the dark dude.

Easy way on finding a dead cylinder. Take a crayon and make a mark on the heaer pipe by cyl. Start and run bike, if crayon melts off its firing, if stays same color no fire. Then start looking at coils or maybe a plug. Saves the didgits from getting burned too!

Where you at? You need someone to bring a battery and some tools? Or you figure by the time you change it your too late?

Yea fewer and fewer are comming with audio out. Also seems the ones you can add your own trips too are diminishing.

I Studied up quite awhile before I bought. I felt best band for my buck was the 765t and a zip loc bag.

Left a message on the other post you got going. If not wiped out from weekend activities will try to make lunch.

Sure hope they (victory/polaris) did a redesign on the motor. A friend of mine has like the 02-04 model when they reintroduced it years back. He has had to have the head worked on twice in like 40K. Valves, guides and the like. People today just wont put up with that kind of meticulas maintenance anymore. Heck we had people come in the dealership where I worked part time and had 30K on the car and never changed oil. "The oil light never came on, so I thought I was OK"

Yea I was going to say the same thing man. Even Yamaha saw the light and now offers the I-pod instead of the CD changer. They are heavy and talke up alot of room. If I take the wife for the week I end up taking the changer out of the left saddlebag so I got enough room to put 2 sets of rain gear. Id say go with an MP3 player or if your Apple savy (which In not at this time) go with an I-thingy of your choice. Right now I'm partial to Pandora on my phone played thru the stereo.

Pics of the bike man!!!

I used it with a relay for an aux power on back for the boss's phone charger.

OK well still about same price to replace.

Or if you still have all the goodies for the HID kit, put it back on and order a new bulb for the HID. $20 or so for just the bulb on e-bay for a bi-xenon

I would like to have one some day. Will I ? I dunno. For the time and money situation the RSV works good. If they actually depreciate like some have tried to convince me I may be able own a CC in a few years. This has been my desk top for awhile now.

Barry youll find you will go off the "fuel" light and watch the odometer to start counting the miles when it hits the light. I find myself watching the gauge on a trip and then it seems like all of a sudden I need to be looking for gas as the light came on and I'm going "when did that happen?" My calculations youll need gas about exit 451 in Fl, exit 142 in Ga (Fort Valley Warner Robins area)

I made my marker/turn lights for a couple reasons. Some CSdexter mentioned. In darkness the LED out perform the incandesants. Any extra lighting to make my bike noticable day or night is a bonus. Plus I got to fabricate some wiring, brackets and mess in the garage for a couple days.

Hmm ok. I figured more weight difference. I may be a bit coo coo but I think the MPG is a bit better with the RK mufflers. Might be my imagination or just the trips I have checked the milage on. I usually figure 38. Long highway runs 40 maybe. But I use 38 to figure gas stops that way I'm sure to make it.

I had a flasher I pulled from my truck. I then pulled the leads out of the connector for the bike flasher. Made a couple jumpers and hooked it all up. Couldnt get the auto cancel to work. So I gave up on using a "replacement" flasher. In theroy it should work. but so should our government.

OOps Guess the info I gave you was for going around the otherside of Atlanta. I have run the 16 by Griffin Ga over to us 27 up to I-20. Not bad decent roads and good flow. Normal slow down stuff when getting to towns but nothing terrible. When I was driving cross country before we use to figure an hour and half from bottom of Atlanta to by Kennasaw. If you hit it right, if not about half a day.

Ah yes. The British way of controling elec.

I think HID is standard. Projection headlights are option.

Thats sort of odd. I would think the TD would be better as it is a few hundred pounds lighter. I thought basicly the powerplants were exactly the same in the 2 bikes. I have noticed a vibration also at say 60 in top gear. I just figured I was lugging it or something.

Is it run with a relay in the circuit? If just straight thru switch I supose it could be bleed thru. But I suspect something else needs to be looked at. Sounds fishy.

WA_HOOOO I got one rite.

The best color combo.
