I put relays in the wires to the Hi and Low beams and a thick cable directly from the battery (with a fuse in line of cause). What a difference Idea

schooter

Started it, tested the lights, back light not working, stripped out ignition switch, tank, bars, instrument cluster.

It's the ignition switch.

finished painting tank and it looks nice, Going to clear coat it today and tommorrow. Tore off triple tree, valve cover and am waiting for gasket and new ignition switch to arrive. Other than that, it time to clean and reassemble. Getting closer to riding.

Put on new Headlight retainer ring.
Took off extra lights previous owner had on.
Cleaned out front master cylinder return hole
with a .012 guitar string(this worked great BTW)
Then warmed her up and road around the
nieghborhood for about a 1/2 hour in the
30 degree weather, to make sure front brakes are
working good. Everything is fine Very Happy

Now just need some spit & polish and she's
good to go.

Went for a 30 km ride, then she started missing on the left cylinder, i'll have to check my plugs tomorrow and see what they look like. It's about time for new ones, and nothing has changed from last season.

Mounted and balanced my new rear tire, started measuring and marking where I'm going to chop and re-weld my Sportster mufflers.

Fixed my TCi so it wasn't occasionally dropping one cylinder. After 20 years of soldering you'd think i wouldn't miss something like a cold solder joint.. Then again, the board is 26 years old lol.

Sucks i didn't get to ride today more than 5 mins Sad

The bikes driving past, while i was fixing, were pissing me off lol

Worked on my left side cover again, did a little fabricating to re- install the turn blinkers where they won't get sideswiped, agian.

I refitted my repaired ignition barrel, Got the airfilter to carb boots on better and greased the taper roller head bearings. When I went to test the lights (Which is why the ignition switch came off) the fuse blew.....Need to bring my digital meter home from work tomorrow.

Lot's on the todo for the weekend.....

well yesterday I put in a new battery its had the same one since I bought it and it was getting weak. Then I started it and drove to work. Took it to work again today 28*F out was a brisk morning ride but it is suppose to rain the rest of the week. rain + 50* weather makes for a sucky ride lol.

Put about 50 km on her, and ordered some front brake pads, asked about steel braided brake lines, damn they're expensive, about 60 bux!
