Pictures are a MUST! Thank you

Ride to work, took half day because I knew I'd hosed the install and it was bugging me. So rode home, got the grinder out and installed correctly. Then typed up a "how to" with pictures. Ya'll should check it out in the how to section!

Noticed the fan not coming on, and feeling the bike pretty warm under my legs. Temp gauge also not reading anything. Tested the gauge by grounding it, as per manual (works) and fan, with spare 12V battery (also works). Next step, test the sensors and wiring, I guess. The manual has guidance on checking resistance of the sensors in hot coolant.

Took her for a ride, anyway, ran fine with a bit of sustained air flow Also witnessed my first oil light under hard acceleration. Fun.

How many miles have you put on that thing? Well, at-least you 'popped your cherry' on the oil light. Mine flashes so-often I think the paparazzi are shooting me:biglaugh:

Look at the how-tos & maybe the Electrical thread for info on using a Nissan sensor which will bring-on the fan sooner. On one of my other Yamahas, I just wired-in a toggle switch, and just turn it on when I see the temp gauge heading North. It shuts-off w/the ignition.

Couple of hundred miles. But they had all been in bright sunshine and hadn't noticed if the oil light came on before.

Finally got the time to install the oil pressure gauge. Me worried...naah.

 

[92max]

New tank bag, searching the interweb for an earl pressure gauge. Put some more miles on the new brake setup.

And what did I do today? I sold a ZX-7 Kawasaki to finance the stuff I've done to the 'Max. First guy who saw it, bought it. I bought it cheap, waited a bit, & advertised it. Had 3 calls in the first day, one of-whom bought it. :biglaugh::eusa_dance:

I was thinking about using the USD front end on my 'Max, but decided to sell the bike complete instead of parting it out.

I didn't do a thing to it. Well, I did move it to another part of the garage.
I got the frog fountain back up and running and have been watching about 70+ birds enjoying the cool water and the food. I sat there the other day and one of the little guys landed on the back of my neck, talk about tickles. :biglaugh:

I finished up my guitar's new paint and look. It got the matching paint that Archangel has, and being I don't have any chrome on my bike, just brushed aluminum, I brushed out the guitar's hardware.

So here is the V-axe in the latest form. This weekend, I'm going to get some shots of it and the Archangel together.

 

[Fire-medic]

You need a Gibson"Flying-V!" to go w/your V-Max.

Nice work on yours, though.

I want this:

RICKENBACKER 4001!
HELL YEAH!

 

[CaptainKyle]

Sanded & primed some parts for the 2000 today thats about it.

 

[Biker Dash]

Took a short ride. Came home and put the backrest back on cause I'm taking the roomie for a ride, and he's kinda nervous about such a powerful bike.

That would be the logical choice. Might do it with the 6-string bass I'm getting ready to build. unk:

I want this:

Ricks are great guitars, great sound and I love that timeless look.

Put on adjustable levers. Have the brake lever adjusted to where all of the way in, it will just start to lock up the front wheel.

This is a mod that I shouldve done long ago.

I would love a set of adjustable levers designed like Kuryakyn's Zombie levers
