You must have forgotten what the thread was about. Two resistors costing just a few cents each do the same job.

To do this I've enlisted the help of an avionics specialist currently working on F-35 systems.

After he's done with it, your RC30 will have vertical takeoff capability!

Maybe you should buy her some roses???

she's no longer banging me.

I just ordered the ugly Renthal kevlar grips, I know they will feel great, not sure how long they'll last. If they wear out super fast again I'll try a model from Pro Grip.

I was about 16,000 miles into my Progrip 719's with my previous bike. Plenty of life left in them until that fateful day....

Pics after powdercoating are mandatory.

If you are interested on how to make one of these here is the directions.

Ride you bike at about 45 MPH

Make sure that you find a curve with a spot of gravel at the APEX

Take the turn at full lean angle

And ensure you hit the gravel!

After you and your bike stop sliding you will have made the perfect coat hanger!!!

LOL! BTW, 90 mph works well too. You just have to wait until your body heals a few months before you install the hanger. :fing02:

CORRECTION! He isn't selling anything, not spam.

Note to self, NEVER post when sober.

:goofy: :goofy: :goofy:

Ken, if regular old thick gap filling CA will work with the poly bottles, I've got some here. You've just got to drive your ass down here and get it. Bring some Sleeman's while you're at it. :thumbsup:

In all seriousness, drop by your local mom and pop hobby shop that handles R/C airplanes and cars and show them the kind of plastic you are wanting to glue. They will be able to hook you up with the right kind of CA. Don't go to a chain hobby store. The people that work in them don't know their ass from a horse....(that's how mules were invented, btw)

Don't let them sell you any debonder, it's just acetone. If you need to unstick your fingers or clean up some CA, just use your wife's fingernail polish remover WITH acetone. If she only has the kind without acetone, you will have to use your own stash of fingernail polish remover.

CA huh? never thought of that.

You've never heard of Canada? :goofy:

:goofy:

C.A. PERIOD. NO QUESTION. IT WILL WORK.

As in cyanoacrilate, aka plastic model glue. Maybe the gel type would work best, to fill any small voids?

Those are two completely different types of adhesive.

Plastic model glue is made to melt/weld styrene plastic, the type of plastic in model cars and planes.

CA or cyanoacrylate is commonly referred as "super glue" and activates with moisture. It isn't designed to melt stuff. It's the stuff that glues your fingers together. The CA glues that I've used don't work well with the type of plastic that is used on the overflow bottle. There are plastic CA glues, but I haven't used them. I know of CA's that are formulated to glue styrene, ABS, acrylics, and a few others, but the stuff you find at the local department store won't work well for the overflow bottle.

Here's one brand...

I'd just be worried about the initial startup vacuum sucking something in, probably just paranoid =P maybe i'll try it  :goofy:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There's no way that the vacuum would pull it all the way to the cylinders. Even if it could pull it through a clean open pipe that far, the stuff couldn't get past the catalytic converter.

Doesn't mean there using the same filter medium in every filter though ! :idea3:

:P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Probably not. However, the medium won't be any worse than the HondaYamaKawaZuki branded filters which are low bid contracts sold at top dollar.

Lately I've been using the STP SMO-17 filter, which is specifically for motorcycles.  It appears to be a decent quality filter, better than Fram anyway.  Also, it's only about $6 at Auto Zone.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't tell anybody but STP filters and Walmart filters are both made by Champion Labs. Guess who makes the Mobil-1 and Bosch filters everybody raves about? Yep, Champion Labs. Shhhhhh, don't say anything. Let them buy those $8-12 filters when we can get ours for $2-5.

I on the other hand drink some cheap nasty crap so my soft bags will do just fine :thumbsup:  :P

TBZEP - I just took some photos - photobucket site is under maintenance right now - so can't load them up.  BUT - - to answer your question in the meantime, no - there is no way to drill into the top plate to get the allen key in the head.

I'll see if I can remember how to upload to VFRD......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I looked at your pics again. It looks like the Givi badge is in the way. Is that what you are talking about?

I had to place one of the grab handle bolts (the most rear ward ones) into the bracket before the topplate was mounted, because the topplate actually partially covers the head of the grab handle bolt.  I had to use vice grips on that bolt to tighten it - an allen wrench will not slip into it from above - because of the topplate. (hope that made sense).  If not - PM me and I'll explain .

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Can you drill an access hole in the top plate and drop the allen wrench in to tighten the bolt? I don't like using vice grips to tighten them if I can help it.

access to the "illegal stash" he carries?  he needs to view the seductive pictures of cbar he carries?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ok. I don't need to remove the seat, but I reckon Ken does! :goofy:

Just use allen bolts for the brackets and throw an allen wrench in the top box. If you need to get under the seat, it will likely be because of a problem that will keep you off the road for a considerable amount of time anyway. Of course, I never use the helmet lock, so I don't consider that a good reason to take the seat off. :beer:
