    Tuning it to make the most of what you have makes sense, but only you can decide if the cost is worth it. If it runs smoothly and doesn't have issues you could just let it go as it is, no damage should come from that. 140 on that dyno won't be 140 on whatever dyno you strap it to tomorrow so I agree that you should probably ignore the number and only think about what feels like enough power for you.

    It is absolutely programable, if you have the right stuff. No clue if anyone outside of Honda has that stuff, but maybe. I've not heard of Power Commanders having a high failure rate, but if the PC fails can't you just disconnect it and ride? There's another device that just adds fuel, that one I know can be removed quickly and ride on the stock ECU. It's adjusted using little screws on the unit, no computer needed. Don't remember the name but will try to remember to take a look at it later. You could also bump the fuel pressure with an aftermarket regulator, but I doubt that would be a good way to go about it. I've never heard of lean damage from running an exhaust without tuning.

    I think the fairing decals are removable so it could be original paint. Pretty sure the tank decals are under the clear so those would be pretty hard to strip without a re-paint.

    Oregon plate on the bike and the only other plates visible in the photos are two different ones. Three different state plates in one yard seems a bit odd.

    I've owned a '97 and '01, both turned off. Every other bike I've owned that I can think of turned off. Odd that the '99 is different, didn't expect that.
  6. superhawk996
    Honda knows this and that's why it was wired to turn off during cranking from the factory. Unless '99 is different than the others, I haven't owned one. It's rare to find a bike that doesn't turn the headlight off while cranking.

    Without adding a relay the best place would probably be at one of the factory relays or at a fuse. You could use a voltmeter with the bike running to see which gets the best reading. My guess would be something with a low power draw like the taillight fuse, assuming it's switched power, should get you pretty close to battery voltage. If there's a main relay, I've never paid attention, that should do a decent job.

    Any time you tap into a wire that's supplying power to other stuff the reading is going to go down when those things are being powered. Your radar detector voltage reading is likely lower than battery voltage, but once you know what's normal you'll also know what's not normal. If the voltage suddenly drops with the fan on but then stays there the charging system is keeping up, if it keeps creeping down then it's pulling more than the charging system can supply.

    Install two sets so you have a back up.

    Mine has a Battery Tender brand LiFePo4 battery from Amazon. I've abused it and it keeps on working. It's smaller, WAY lighter, and more powerful than a lead acid battery. First time I hit the start button I was shocked, it spun so fast I could barely hear the compression strokes.

    And welcome.

    It's pretty well fucked, sorry. As a long time member it is my duty to help out the new guy, I'll give you $50 for it as is. The bike at idle doesn't charge much, and having the fan running constantly might have been just enough to take it over the edge to slowly discharging. Plus everything heat soaking raises the resistance of the regulator, stator, starter, etc. making charging and starting a little worse. Your experience doesn't surprise me and I wouldn't be too worried about it. Put a volt meter on the battery and see what you get for idle and off-idle voltages. I'm not near my manual or bike to get exact numbers, but if it's over 13v at idle while not super heated and rises to around 14v when you bring the revs up a little the bike's probably fine. Someone else will chime in with proper numbers for testing. If you have the patience to let it get super hot again for more testing; the voltage should drop when the fan comes on and might slowly keep dropping after that, and it should jump up when you rev it a little. No matter how hot things get it should effectively charge once over 2k RPM if everything's right.

    You'd loose your fuckin mind if you came here.

    Just pick the flawed spots to mount the reloading press and tire bead breaker and all will be good. That's pretty damn cool looking!

    That sounds like a recipe for shitting yourself while working out. On the upside, there won't be any people pressing you to get their turn at a machine.
  16. superhawk996
    Purple?
  17. superhawk996
    Oh yea, from the other thread. I don't know that one, but I've not heard of any that don't allow use of the center stand. Some systems don't have the stopper for the center stand, not a huge deal. If your right mid-pipe has an extra thing coming off of it it's the stopper and therefore obviously designed to use with the stand. My Yoshi system had it and others apparently don't, guessing they made a production change somewhere along the way.
  18. superhawk996
    Which exhaust system does it have?
  19. superhawk996
    I have access to my buddy's machine shop, should be able to shave them keeping them flat.
  20. superhawk996
    Mislabeled or a manufacturing screwup seem like the only possibilities. If you can't send them back and are stuck with them I'd be interested in playing with them so please don't toss them out, if you'd be willing to ship them.
  21. superhawk996
    Anything's possible. Sometimes stuff just hangs up for no apparent reason then 'fixes' itself. If it's been a while it would be a good idea to do a fluid flush.

    Mine's "Lamborghini Balloon White". From my understanding it's a multi layer job with metallic white with a pearl clear, and I think it starts with a silver base. Tho I like white vehicles, white's usually nothing to get excited about. The moment I saw a Lambo in that color I thought 'that is the best white in the world'. When the bike came up for sale I jumped. Unfortunately it wasn't done right and it has many flaws, but it's a good 10 footer. I can't tell that Tim's is anything but 'normal' white with standard graphics. Taking the pics in sunlight might bring them out. A close-up of the paint/graphics and noting them in the ad might do it wonders.

    I thought I was giving it away too early with the photo, and funny that one of the few members who's been here and seen it was the first to chime in.
