Decided I wanted rear running lights as well as front ones so I took the 2 pole 3 wire whip out of the wrecked front directionals and installed them in the rear directional housings of Sallymax.

Do you realize that in almost every state it's illegal to have amber running lights on the rear?? You can change out the bulbs to red bulbs with clear lenses and you will be legal that way.

The exhaust system is from HMF.
For Jedi's adapter check out http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=5949&page=2 or send him a pm.
The R1 rotor is from a 98 to 03 model - find them pretty cheap on ebay.

I've never understood the reason of making the back brake bigger. Is it for bling? I wanted lighter so I went with a Galfer wave rotor for 115 bucks which netted me a 1lb weight loss and IMO a better than stock look. The thing has entirely to much power as it stands so I can't see making it even stronger with a larger rotor.

One thing I noticed since I installed a larger rotor on the rear is that the rear isn't locking up. I think it is because the rotor is larger it takes more to lock it up b/c of the larger size. I made the change mostly to have the better looks of the slotted rotor but it seems to help the lockup problem.
I not sure of the technical reasons, it must be harder for the pad to clamp down on the rotor b/c of more torque/ centrifugal force/ whatever....:confused2:
First, I rode it and stopped to take this pic.
Barry also made a bracket for my Venture R/R.

I wondered about that Sean, but didn't know which would be illegal....amber running lights or red signal lights. Figured one of them had to be unnacceptable!!
Thanks, I'll pick up some red bulbs before 'the man' grabs me. :biglaugh:

A lot of Hardleys run red rear indicators... Some of them actually don't have a dedicated tail lamp and use the indicators for both...

IMO the amber signal lights catch the eye better than red.

Well, well...I just called my inspection guy and he said the amber running lights are OK.
Not being one to completely trust anyone, I then called the local NYS Police substation and, amazingly, they agreed. The tail light must be red, signals and running lights can be amber.

Did it for three reasons, first the stock one looks like crap IMO, plus I warped it anyways - second wanted it to closely match the front ones - third, was to put on something a little more custom one off piece (Jedi bracket) - I like to be different. Oh ya and the brake doesn't seem to lock up as easily.

Finallllly got a decent day to ride so I thought that I would take it out for a ride and lo and behold the F@#*en battery was dead :bang head: (hadn`t ridden it since Bob came over) so, once again I was forced into driving to run my errands.:damn angry:
Is the bike supposed to be impossible to push start when the engine is cold ??(that damn clutch is stiff):confused2:

If a bike sits for awhile, sometimes just overnight, the clutch plates will stick together making it very difficult to 'bump start.'
Might be time for an Odyssey PC680, Dave. :biglaugh:
