mine are set to 3.5 turns out bob

3 pound dog geeezzzee. That could be a cat in a dog suit! I think the hole in the trunk lid is an awesome idea. I would fiberglass in some sort of snap on lid recepter. Something like a large coffee can lid or a winter pool skimmer closure. I'm gona think on that. Like the other guy said when he gets tired he could just laydown to get out of the wind. My Rottie weighs 157 pounds..... lol Bob

Ahhhh if only I could read ) Bob

The ceramic plug sounds like a good idea. I see your from Oswego..... you don't happen to work at one of the many power plants up there do you? Bob

Are you talking an aftermarket fuse holder or the stock one under the left side cover? I was just in there yesterday and that fuse is a 20. That fuse is on the headlight and tail light circuit on my 06 RSTD. The brake light wire is blue and the plug is under the seat at the rear fender plastic. But if your headlamp socket is melted I'd say the wrong bulb is in there. Never the less a 2 amp fuse would blow right off even with perfect components....I think you missed the 0 after the 2. Bob

nice truck!

42K..... 72K list price for the 440. Cool Rig! Coop

I was 12..... 46 years ago!

Sorry.....that's on the back burner right now. Sorry to yank your chain with it. Bob

cool beans... did your order those carb covers from chuck? bob

Nice deal for sure! Hey....tell me about those hand grips. Bob

Well finally the replacement tach arrived today. tracking said it went to nevada first....just my luck. ok so I hook it up... black on ground, green on neg coil, blue and red on 12v switched. ya see where this is going already? fire it up.... same flipping response. the needle is all over the place. goes up to about 3g's and then wants to bang down. so I yell a little, actually a lot, kick a couple things around and sit down to think. I got no crimps, everything is soldered, even the green to the neg coil along with the stock wire.....soldered. I know its not the ground or 12v because "she" (yes definitely a she..... a he couldn't be this difficult) lights up and goes up to 8000 and back to zero on power up. Gota be the coil.... so I look for the other coils, then I look some more. I figure they are so tucked in there they gota be part mouse, so run in the house and get a big piece of cheese.. I put it under the bike and I wait. flipping nuttin gee wiz... those things are buried. in fact everything on this bike is buried.... finally I find the 2 rear coils.... move my coil lead to the right side coil, fire it up and bingo! smooth as silk right up to 7g's don't know why I couldn't get a good clean signal out of the front coil cause she's running fine. my dad would say " take it easy son...these are the jobs that build character". if he was here I'd punch him square in the nose ) bob

Is the main fuse blown? A shorted battery wouldn't burn the cable...but as someone else said if the terminal bolt was loose it would do it. Is only the terminal burnt off or is the wire burnt down towards the fuse block? Bob

oh yah.... maybe we can get together for lunch down there? put an ugly mug to all this typing )

you coming up here? where?

my wife says it's gona be 22 here tonight. here I go...heater and bubbler back in the pond. arrrgggg

a picture looking up the street....showing the street sign would be nice. I've already zoomed in on the house number.... that's a great looking place...congrats....enjoy it!

Hey Bro, I'm up north in west milford but down in your area all the time... Covanta, Philips 66, Linden Cogen. Never on the scooter down there though.

Thanks Jonas.. I never worked with ABS other than a repair using Norton Speedgrip. I've always found ABS difficult to sand / prep for paint. I'd be interested in what your shop has to offer. Please keep me posted. Have a great day! Bob

Nice pic's Jonas... The bike looks great! Bob

yep....that's it. I think you should buy 2 of em

Jonas, Your saddlebags can be widened. You would have to mark them out and split the right up the center.... bags and lids. ABS plastic require a lot of prep to make sure you get good adhesion. 24 grit sanding wheel and 1/8" holes on the area that will be accepting the glass. It's a good 50 hours worth of work if you have fiberglass experience..... if not you might want to double that. I'd buy a spare set of bags to do the mod with so you'll always have your stock bags to put back if you ever need to. I'd be more that happy to walk you thru the process if you decide to do it. Bob

I'm trying to get comfortable with her first. Bob
