James, I can't find Roadcycle.com?
Sorry, I fixed the original link, the site is: www.Roadstercycle.comJames, I can't find Roadcycle.com?
Just get in touch with Jack and order the bits (he got them out to me in Japan in under a week), the job is really straight forward and you know that there's a great deal of Voltage at the end of this particular tunnelahhh, Thanks for that.
And Congrats, you butt head!
You're all fixed and happy and I still sit at 13.5 with the Eastern Beaver harness. :lol:
The 8 gauge problem is 8 gauge wire going into a 12 gauge connector terminal? 12 gauge wire = warm to hot, 10 gauge marginally warm to feel on dcarver harness, 8 gauge would be cool. No pun intended. :lol:I'd consider this mod if they made it up with 8 gauge Ultraflex and a proper 50 amp fuse.
That you report the wire gets warm implies that you are losing power (volts) that you/we can ill afford to lose.
Frank, IMHO the 10AWG wire is sufficient for this application, like DC mentioned and as when I said the wire was warm it felt the kind of warm you'd expect from most things on a bike running in the garage in the summer with the ambient temps around 85*F and I was touching the wire where it comes into the R/R plug so in some proximity to the exhaust pipe.The 8 gauge problem is 8 gauge wire going into a 12 gauge connector terminal? 12 gauge wire = warm to hot, 10 gauge marginally warm to feel on dcarver harness, 8 gauge would be cool.

I would highly doubt that your voltage readings would change much by replacing the battery. IMHO since your battery is still able to start the bike, then once it is running the voltage being (especially X minutes later, after the battery recovers from the start-up discharge) read/displayed is the one being delivered to the battery by the charging system.Assuming the problem has now been accurately identified and corrected/bypassed, I'd love to see a summary post...something of a cliff's notes.
My 07 generally only reads 13.4-13.5 while crusing on the datel (across the battery posts with a relay) with no additional load. I probably need to replace my battery as it's getting a bit long in the tooth, but I'm not sure that alone would bring me up to the upper 13 to 14 range.
LOL BTDT, I know I will not need to "use the force" any more when running at night, summer or winter :yahoo:During the 2008 Spank I would run my Solteks until I got cold, then turn them off so my warm-n-safe jacket would heat. Sucked.
This little mod is going to be implemented.
