Scud Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am on the road again. Taking it for a dinner ride probably 80 miles round trip for a shake down. Still need to dial in the suspension and patch the plastic covers. It's not butt ugly without side and starter covers. 80 miles for dinner. I'm running my LeMans without the side covers. They were black and I don't miss them. I like the side covers on the Greenie, but a starter cover that matches the engine color would look better (just my opinion) - or a dark grey, not black.

LowRyter Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 just got back from dinner ride with the guys. Took back roads and the few twisties and turned about 100 miles. Man it handles good and it likes to trail brake in the tight stuff Is the starter cover anymore than cosmetic or does it protect the starter from rain? I am heading to the Ozarks weekend after next and don't think I want to screw with it. > Had a failed start, fuel pump didn't go. Took the seat off and heard a "click" from the relay and it took right off. I am guessing that it was loose since it was in open for a month of jostling. Had a spare if I needed it.

Well now, working on the bike I hit the switch and no fuel pump. Yep, that Bosch relay. I had a spare offa the EV after I replaced them all with Pyro Dan's stuff for about $25 (it's another trouble shooter story, not to bore you) and the bike started fine. So I go to the auto parts store to get a new relay and it was $20 for one and it was made in Ghina . I guess I'll order a whole 'nother set from Dan-o. I don't know what I did with the other relays offa the EV. ?? .. Prolly trashed 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scud, posted elsewhere here: I dropped off the side and starter covers off with my body shop guy. He was pretty optimistic that he could fix all three parts in a couple of days without painting them. Apparently there is a new miracle adhesive-filler that is super strong and works super good. I think he uses it for plastic bumper repairs. Since some of the parts around the screw holes are broken and lost, I am not sure he'll touch them up or leave bare. When I get it all back I'll provide a report.
