I plan on dipping some bars eventually. The tank I have right now isn't big enough to do bars

Did you get your seat back yet Don? I talked to Seth yesterday and he is working on mine now from what he said. Although he had to order my heat kit so as soon as he gets that he can finish it up and ship it back. It should be cool with what I had him do (or at least, I hope). Time will tell!

[dmyers]

still waiting. I expect it to come in today,, I hope,,

[0vationdave]

I know he said that he was told to hold off on shipping for a bit since the weather has caused a lot of delays with shipping, so he said he was sitting (no pun intended) on about 8 seats that needed to go out, so he is going to ship them out since people are asking where their seats are. Not his fault, as he was trying to do what Fed-Ex (or whatever shipping service he uses) asked him too, but he has people asking where there seats are, so he said "I guess I should have shipped them anyway".

Well that explains that. I still have to finish my bars and do a few other things before I'm ready to ride anyway

[0vationdave]

I may be contacting you about a set of bars after I get my seat. I don't want to lengthen cables though.......at least not now. PM me and let me know how much for a set of black 10-11" apes. I may give a short pair a try. thanks!

So I got my bars and controls put back on and my radio control on the left bar isn't working properly. I checked and double checked all wires
and I'm positive it's wired right
I have only ridden the bike about 3 times so I'm not all that used to it yet
The last time I road it I was having a hard time making the switches work when I pushed the switches to the right, They work fine when you push them to the left. Now they wont work at all when I push them to the right.
I seem to recall a post where some one had a similar problem and it was something in the switch

Has anyone had this kind of problem before?

Weird Don. I've never had any issues with mine. It did take me a bit to get used to wha they all do but they've never given me any issues. Good luck and let us know what comes of it. Did your seat ever come back? Still pretty interested in how it rides, especially on the longer rides.

Nope still waiting
JERRY Manning gave me his stock seat so I have a seat to use if mine doesn't come back This week
I do think there is something wrong in the switch
The owner of the shop I got it from is a old friend
So if he can get away with overlooking the stretched harness, I'm sure he will warranty it. If ma kaw makes him send in the old part he may not be able to though

Every once in a while the radio buttons feel like there sticking a little, not bad just noticeable.

[dmyers]

That is kind of what mine felt like before I took it all apart
I had gloves on and just figured I wasn't pushing the switches properly.
I have only ridden the bike a few times I think I have 185 miles on it

[0vationdave]

I am still waiting for my seat too Don, I know Seth called me last night and said he is waiting on my seat heater to put it back together. I am surprised you don't have yours back by now>!

[dmyers]

I sent him a text. Waiting to here back
