PNW SPring Tech Meet

[n2osx]

Carl, you have a windshield? Might spoil your trip north, not having that wind blowing ya off the bike. :lol:

I will try to :yahoo: make the best of it anyway!

I bet it makes the misses happier

Oh, I'm supposed to think about that too? "Note to self. Will this make wife happy? Check! All is good!"

If pass is bad, I will gracious bow out. There is not enough time to ride around the passes and be back for Sunday obligations.

 

[Duster19]

Wingshot,

You have to make it you're bringing over my wire right?

Just saw this thread, not sure how I missed it.

But I'll be joining the party, too.

Rotors hard to mount? I'll bring them with and see what happens.

What kind of crowd are we working up to? Looks like a big turn out in the works.

Current list is updated on post number 1. Right now it stands at 17 and a few maybes and a few wives/kids.

Should be a very good turn out.

Man, I wish we had a group like this is AB. I want to do many of the mods discussed but hesitant to attempt on my own. Will you let Canucks come down and watch... and help... and learn? Too far for a wknd, and likely too cold at that time of year, to ride down but may be worth a flight for the education! Might be a valuable use of a weekend!

If you want to fly down, we will find a way to pick you up and get you sorted. I have room if you don't mind a small amount of normal family chaos. Dog, cat, teenagers...the usual.

Arrrrggggggh! :grrr: I really want to go but I'm gonna have to pass.

Thanks for the offer Beamer Reamer, and thanks for the open invite AuburnFJR. Maybe I'll get down to meet you guys in the spring. If not, there is always CFR!

Take lots of photos and document the trials and tribulations of the day!

Have a great time!

Cheers, :drinks:

Jeff

Arggggggh is right! That's a bummer. We will miss you but I look forward to meeting you at CFR (unless you come down in the spring).

[Panman]

I don't know that I'll be riding down as I couldn't wait to start instaling things so I'm doing my installing thru this next week. But I will be down.

Pizza Beer Motorcycles what not to like about that? Oh and friends to meet new and old! :lol:

 

[KnuckleHead]

So was it decided that someone was going to bring a boatload of wire and accessories that people like me can chip in for, or do I need to bring my own supplies?

Happy to do either, just dont want to duplicate the effort. :dribble:

 

[Auburn]

Duster19, Beamer-Reamer, Hudson are coordinating the purchase of electrical supplies. (Wire, wire loom, heat shrink, etc...) please contact them or on this thread to let them know you are willling to help or want to chip in on the costs.

Duster, BR and Hudson are planning on bring supplies. (There are others bringing stuff too...can't remember who all) I don't know what all they are bringing. I have some wire, heat shrink, lots of 3M style connectors. If in doiubt, you may want to bring some items. The more specialized it is, the more likely you should bring it with you.

 

[Hudson]

If you need electrical supplies:

1. PM me. I will consider doing a bulk purchase of wiring looms and heat shrink tubing. Otherwise, I will bringing tools only.

2. Specify what you are installing (brand of fuseblock), where you are planning to locate the fuseblock. I can get larger gauge wire from the battery to the fuseblock.

3. For fuseblocks with relays (Fuzeblock), we will tap into the running light wire using a positap. For fuseblocks like Centech AP1 and AP2, and Blue Sea, you have to supply the relay kit or relay and wiring. If you want to solder the relay tap, then bring your own crimp ons.

4. Specify what you are planning to hook up to the fuseblock, and where that accessory is going to be mounted (e.g. GPS, mounted on a ram mount on the handlebar). Unless you are installing heated gear or powerlet adaptors, 14 guage wire looms will likely be used. 10-12 gauge if you are installing heated gear.

5. If you want to install a battery tender outlet, bring the wiring kit. You can pick them up at any battery tender dealer if you don't have one.

You will need to bring your own wiring for GPS, IPOD, or powerlet adaptor. Touratech in Seattle has some powerlet stuff locally. Otherwise, need to mail order. If you have a GPS, make sure it comes with the wiring kit. For ipods, get a cigarette adaptor and we can splice into it to wire to the fuseblock

 

[Beamer Reamer]

I will be bringing

- my tackle box of electrical connectors including posi-taps etc

- 100' of blue 16 ga. wire. Good for tapping into switched source

- Quality bell wire for things like radar detectors and other low amp power needs

- Morgan Carbtune Pro and the associated fixins

- Bike Johnny axle tool, steering head spanner wrench, and 36 mm socket

- Misc. tools

- Money for pizza and beer

I will be wanting to simply re-route one cable on my bike, but it is under the tank and heat shield. I will also want to find and compete connection points for the Starcom headsets. Otherwise I will be around to kibitz and help others. I'm also interested in putting a rough game plan together for CFR, for those of you going on that adventure.

Okay, I think Brian (Wingshot) and I are bringing over 12ga. wire for the runs from battery to fuzeblock. We were thinking of getting 25ft of red and 25ft of black.

Dave

So, Wingshot you need to make it over or I'll NEED wire myself
