  1. Found it. 3A relay built in. Program and scan NFC cards and devices to open. It will basically just provide relay closure for a moment. I was going to use a couple for my garage doors, but before my Round Tuit arrived, Homekit arrived to let me open them with a voice command. Warning: The chip implanted in my hand is already programmed in them, and I could steal your truck!! But yeah, keys are cheap.
  2. Let me see what I have laying around. Pretty sure I have a big (ish) ugly NFC reader and keypad combo box. I have a ton of NFC cards. Also I said RFID generically, meaning proximity card/fob, but they really are NFC. You probably don't care. They do the same thing. But your phone MIGHT be able to work with an NFC reader, and won't with RFID. Meaning scan your phone to open. The relay would be built into the reader, I just don't recall its capacity. Might need a second relay.
  3. I don't know what CBGAA is supposed to mean here. There are lots of 12v secure relay options; would you like an RFID card? A keypad? Shit, I think I have one with both. Is this a case where ugly and intrusive is ok?
  4. I got several loud exhaust tickets. For my CT90.
  5. No, it would sound terrible on a Homepod.
  6. I guess now I need to drive down there and call the store. But yes, at least the last time, "Jake" answered, got the part, and was there when I showed up to get it. *Where of course, it's possible that they've told all employees to use the same name.
  7. It gets worse. I've heard that they changed the direction of the Marzel vanes in them to fix a problem with the polarity of the fluid changing during the sinusoidal deplanaration phase, and now you have to fill the reservoir from the left. And Mike ain't gonna let anyone tell him to lean left. I do. The same guy you get in the store.
  8. Also, you idiots are forgetting that they can't look up his order because he forgot which fake name he gave them for the purchase.
  9. Did I predict that this was going to get unnecessarily complicated? Oh, yes, yes I did.
  10. So you're asking who else masturbates while driving?
  11. I see you're new here. This will result in a 17 paragraph explanation of how the Prius caught fire on the way to the parts store because the USB adapter from Aliexpress shorted out, the parts guy wouldn't take the charred part back, and possibly include the state of Mike's underwear and injuries sustained shitting himself at the price of the part.
  12. He accused YOU of starting the name-calling? LOL. Is there anyone left on the forum who isn't full of shit and unmanly? I believe he's covered everyone now.
  13. Everyone is a moron unless they agree with him. But what was super funny was when he called me a moron and I was agreeing with him. Around that time he asked me to stop responding to his posts, so I stopped reading his posts completely and haven't responded again. It's much better that way, give it a try.

    Fork Oil

    Yeah, no question you have to enjoy it or it's not worth keeping. The Racetech valve kits are cheap though, and a tremendous improvement, so keep that in mind.

    Fork Oil

    You mentioned some much lighter bikes, so your perception on this bike will certainly be different. Some of those are sure to have had better forks. I think your tire pressure range now is what most of us run, 36-38 front and 40-ish rear.

    Fork Oil

    +1 on the new springs, and what Oscar said. What I'd like to suggest is that you pay more attention to what the bike is actually doing, as I believe what you're describing may not be exactly what is happening. That may be your perception or the words we all use to describe things, which vary. Springs and a valve kit made a massive difference for me, and well worth the cost and effort. Some of what you may be feeling is just the fact that the spring and valves are utter trash on this bike. What other bikes do you/did you ride that you may be comparing this to?
  17. I've had an argument about the high beam in daylight thing. I had a lot of people threatening me with left turns until I *stopped* doing it. The Hurt study was in 1975-ish when motorcycle headlights were a brown glow of 35 watts of tungsten. High beams then were dimmer than our low beams now. I think blinded drivers say "fuck it" and just go. Retarded, but I'd rather not have my tombstone say "but he was right."

    Rusty Tanks

    "Rust." Fuck, something else to google and figure out WTF you people are on about. When I did saltwater boat manifolds, there was almost nothing left after the acid treatment. I guess some things can't be fixed.
  19. Fucking brilliant. I'm always super happy when I find a way to repurpose cheap shit for another use, and impressed when others do the same.
  20. What did you do for spacers? I still haven't put the bike back together.

    Fork Oil

    You're describing an oversprung/underdamped condition. At 190 pounds you're probably a bit heavier than the average rider, so you'd tend to compress the springs more. Do you know if the springs, valves, and oil are stock now?
  22. SwampNut

    Fork Oil

    Helps in what way? What problem exactly are you trying to fix? Lighter oil will reduce damping, which I'm sure you knew. Rebound damping should generally be predicated on spring rate and unsprung mass. If it's too light, the fork will bounce out too fast and create bounce. If it's too hard, the fork will compress over repeated bumps and/or fail to keep the tire connected to the ground. On compression you want enough to keep the tire on the ground. The ProfessionalTM will surely correct me on all of my simplification of the process, and proceed to explain how my island origins are to blame for me not being 1/100th of the suspension engineer he is.
  23. Applying a security update. That fact that you were able to post this means it finished while you were posting it.
  24. Oops, forgot to post about the LED test. It seems like a win. The bike is apart so the test was done just holding the light in the driveway. I also need to find an adapter/spacer, I forgot that the XX has a weird plastic plug added to the bulb. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXS9RHB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
