2007-12-01 IL, Bartlett Tech Day

[Highrider]

We will be meeting at my house instead of Jeff's (Byrdman).
I have enough heated space to work on at least 6 - 7 bikes, it's going to be cold and clear Saturday, bring your bikes.
I have a bike lift and tire changer, and pretty much anything else we need.
We will be starting early, about 8 am.

Location:
5N280 Petersdorf
Bartlett, IL
(1/2 mile east of Rt 59, 1/4 mile north of Army Trail Rd. - across the street from BHS)

Wish this was a little closer. 3 and a half hours and through chicago. Maybe next time.

I already had to not plan on a RTE I wanted to make down in Tennesse because "The Lovely Cindy' is going to be gone and I will be "Mr Mom" for the day...

Wish I could make this too...

[Papa]

Dave, Thanks for jumping in on this. I will be there.

Would you be interested in helping me put a fuse box on my Wing?
If the answer is yes, could somebody tell me where to get a fusebox by Sat.?

Dave,

Bill and I plan to come. Not sure if we will ride or not. Weather will determine the decision. I'll take pics, video and wrench. :)

Not sure how fast you'd get it... but here's one from EC. They are pretty easy to install.

All,
Sorry, I won't be able to make it. Too much going on with the family and the extended holidays.

That one looks okay to me. I just don't have much and I have everything hooked to my battery w/inline fuses and all the fuses are right there near the battery. I've just never put much more than aux lights/powerlet/gps power on the battery so I've never felt like I needed a fuse box.

I found one at Bumper to Bumper auto...
no cover though...with a ground buss (pretty close to the last one showed)

I have gps, aux lights and a Ground Loop Isolater (for trailer lights) hooked to the battery. I'm adding heated clothing now,probably for passanger too, and maybee a powerlet to charge cell phone...so I figured it's time for a fuse block....
anybody know how many amps a Wing alternater has off hand!?:eek:

[tkresler]

Hey guys... just to be warned. The weather channel is calling for potential super duper crappy weather in the form of precipitation and wind. Might not be the best winter weather.

Then again, what do they know? It could be sunny and 75.

[Papa]

Ok,, I'm out as well,,,, No use in chancing it with the first bad weather of the year, seems it takes folks time to learn how to drive in it again. Thanks Dave for offering to host this. Maybe another time.

[acara1796]

Yes, Dave thanks for offering to host. :yr1:

I was looking forward to meeting everyone but it can wait. It is better to safe.
