I'm dead serious. I'd drop them in over a three day weekend.

Agree with @Fire-medic. Those need to be torn down and put in a sonic bath for days.

You're also forgetting that most things are on backorder because most factories were shut down for a year due to a global pandemic. Everything is in short supply right now. I think that has far more to do with it than things being discontinued at a wholesale level.

To be fair, I have the last Gen 1 VMax they made. I bought it brand new. That was 15 years ago. That's a LOT of time to keep making parts.

I wouldn't go through the trouble of doing something as involved and elaborate as this and then try to hide it. I'd show it off. Big time.

Bad ground somewhere. Did you get down to the battery and make sure you have no loose connections?

Do you have the factory exhaust on it? If not, then he probably removed it because that particular exhaust doesn't support having the center stand on it.

A lot can cause that. The air cutoff valve being stuck or bad is one reason. Check that out. You also need to check for vacuum leaks, especially on a bike that old. Take some carb cleaner, or WD 40 and shoot around the boots where the carbs connect to the manifold. If you get idle changes...

For those of you not familiar, here is a typical 1961 Cadillac:

I'm on the fence. Of course I'd never use it on my short rides, but the ride to Charleston, South Carolina is roughly 340 miles of interstate with a 70 mph speed limit. I can't help but think it would make life a whole lot easier on that particular ride.

Congratulations!

If you want to be absolutely certain you can pull the switch and get the code off of it. Frankly, I always just go to Ace Hardware. They've never failed to make any key for any bike I've ever owned, including my '07 Vmax. Frankly, I wouldn't order dog **** from Ebay. I avoid that place like the...

I completely missed that. Good to hear it's sorted.

I think @02GF74 called it. I know two guys that have done that because they ordered a Lithium Ion Battery that had the poles reversed. they assumed they had the right battery and just hooked it up without double checking it.

That's federal. They don't play around with that. I wonder what happened to him.
