@@shadowbiker1012 just about every time

A company called Tsukayu, they are based in Japan. They will paint them and deliver them to you, but they weren't cheap. I paid about $1000 14 years ago. I think they are the jumbo strong bag.

He always does..

I can't guarantee that this is the problem with your bike. At the end of the day on mine, the stator was probably ok. After a bunch of messing around, I found a bent pin on the bike side connector between the stator and the bike (I have a video on that - fixing a wiring issue). If you have intermittent electrical problems, I would start with electrical connections or a short before spending any money replacing the system. I spent a bunch that I didn't have to, but at least I eliminated things that it could be.

@grinchbiker5399 well, I've gone through three batteries in the last 6 months, and randomly while riding, the bike will pickup and die, then turn back on. Along with other minor things. I think the most noticeable thing is that the headlight gets slightly brighter in higher RPMs, which should've been the telling sign, but through the Google university, I think your video might be the sign

@@trevorhenry1003 Could be the rectifier, it regulates the voltage coming off the stator. If it is bad, then things won't charge or they will overcharge. Put your hand on it after running a couple of minutes, and if it is really hot, it had cratered. These should stay fairly cool

@@grinchbiker5399 ohhhh

Yes, I believe we were there 6 years ago.

At the end of the day on mine, I had a bad connection where the rectifier connects to the bike (on the bike side). There was a bent pin on one of the 3 pin connectors. If it was not fully connected, the bike would run off the battery until it was drained and then quit because the circuit was broken and nothing was getting power or being charged. When I put a power pack on it, it would start, then when you pulled the power pack off, it would die immediately. I ended up replacing the connector - I have a video on it, Fixing a wiring issue on my Motorcycle

Just preparing you for what life was going to throw at you.

@@grinchbiker5399 growing up was paradise compared to what life threw at me.

@@arewetogether I still have it, it's at 130,000km now

Good Luck, the relay is cheaper than a pump, but harder to get at.

I agree, hoping to get out this weekend for a tour

Never changed one on a Vulcan, but I have no doubt.

Good idea, I'll take a look

I don't actually know the model numbers for the parts. I sent mine to The Vic Shop to be rebuilt. It works great, if you give them a shout, they should be able to tell you.

Glad you liked it, I always try to do the Highwood Pass each year, it's beautiful.

Awesome! Glad you liked it. This year I think we are heading down to the Tetons. Stay tuned!

What is Tetons.? Grinch, are you able to come on-line tomorrow at 6pm for "Freedom Biker Tours" Motorcycle LiveStream.?

@@AngelFaceMotoRider The Grand Tetons, just south of Yellowstone. We will probably do the Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph scenic byway as well. What's the livestream?

Very cool, sounds like you've seen some of the world. The prairies are beautiful, but they are huge! You can ride for 2 straight days before things change.

My Brother does have a channel, it's ShadowBiker101. I am heading to the show on Saturday, I'll have to see who I run into.

I found your Brother MotoChannel 😀 GB, can you go say hello between 10am & 1pm at the RMDRA Booth on Saturday plz. Do you ever watch "Jeremy Kroeker" & his Wife.? They will have a booth selling books on Saturday. Craig Luke of "I Think We Missed A Turn" is also going have his own Booth too. Check-out everyone's channels, Before you come on Sat, if you can.

@AngelFaceMotoRider I've seen a few of Jeremy's videos, very enjoyable. I'll check out who is there on Saturday, maybe we will bump into each other.

Do you have time to check-out my real life Calgary Friend Tony-James of "Hill Quest Dual Sport" and Craig Luke of 'I Think We Missed A Turn" from the Kootenay's area of BC. They are running have Booths too. I'm sorry to report I a not coming this year bcz of the High Price. 😞 I filed a complaint with the Organization, as their Edmonton Show was a Big Disappointment.!! I hope you film everything and make a video about CMS 2024, I already posted my video about it. 😉

@@AngelFaceMotoRider I'm sure I'll see their booths when I wandering around

I've ridden a Vulcan Nomad 1700, and my Vegas would walk past it. I haven't ridden a Stryker or Raider, so I can't say how it compares to that. However, my Vegas has never left me wanting and I only have the 100 engine. They started putting the 106s into them later on, so those must be fun. Good luck, I hope you get a Vegas soon!

I have rare one for sale 2008 premium all done up and I have 12 grand worth of new parts

Thanks! I got the bags from Tsukayu in Japan, I would definitely order from them again.

@@grinchbiker5399 I can never remember how to properly spell that companys name.

Thanks, it is always an enjoyable time. Prairies are good for laying down the miles.

Bwahaha! You are correct! There is beauty in the prairies, but after riding through them for 14 or 15 hours, the mind goes numb (as does your ass). Highway 2 south of Calgary isn't much better. When I head south, I usually take Highway 22 which runs right along the foothills, it is a nice drive, a little longer, but worth it.

Perfect! I wasn't 100% sure.

Couldn't agree more, I wish they still made these bikes. I like the engine feel, although rubber mounting it would give more comfort on those long trips. You nailed it on the gas cap, I could never figure out why they didn't move it to the side so you could get a little more fuel in.

I would guess it's one of 3 things. The intake tube has become plugged, the outflow tube is plugged. Or, more likely, the pump isn't any good. It makes noise whe priming, but perhaps the internals have failed and it can't pump due to a bad seal or something. My pump didn't go bad, I was just trying to do preventative maintenance, but pumps do fail.

Meh, not much there to protect.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll remember to pronounce it 'hear-on' as I don't get out that way very often.

@@grinchbiker5399no problem. Don’t mean to criticize in a bad way. Anyways i like your victory as well. Used to work with a guy that had Harley’s and he always praised victory’s and said he should own one. Is the flame paint job all custom or special edition? Sharp looking bike.

@@Schneids15 The paint job is from the factory. It's part of the reason I liked it. So far, I have been really happy with this bike, wish they still made them.

@@grinchbiker5399 Awesome. Even better when they are factory. I love the rims too. You may have a rare bike in years to come.

@@Schneids15 That would be nice, maybe it will be worth more than I paid for it....

True, maybe I should start saying it will be a long day...

Good question, but I don't know the answer. If you try it, please let me know. I'm always looking for better solutions.

Glad to hear it worked, happy riding!

Thanks, it was a bit of a haul, but Ontario was worth it. I was pretty exhausted when I got home

No issues yet. It's been in there for about 40,000km. On my last trip it dropped to 14v instead of 14.2 for a bit, but no issues

Very cool! We may have crossed paths along the way.

@@grinchbiker5399that we may have… give you guys credit for running 17 through ON. That highway can be scary at times. I’ll tune in for the rest of the videos👍🏻

Coming right off the stator, there are 3 pins. I don't recall which 2 pin combo gave these numbers (but try them and see), you should be getting about 25 to 26 volts (at 1000 rpm) AC I think. This is before the rectifier which will reduce it to 14.3 or so DC. The rest gets turned into heat and removed through the fins on the rectifier.

​@@grinchbiker5399Thank you. I don't think mine is working at all but I recall on my Suzuki I could test Ohms to see if the stators were in good shape without the bike being on.

@@isawamouseboss Possibly, I am no expert when it comes to this.

Very nice! I've only been through the Hat, never spent any time at the bars, but it sounds like a good time!

I wasn't holding my camera up that high, but I did see that guy too! Unfortunately, I can't make it tomorrow, other commitments. Where is this event held? Might try to crash it next year.

Grinchy, it's held in a different location and on different date every spring. Tomorrow we are at seafood city at 10am. However, the forecast is calling for rain :-( Did you see or meet any other MotoVloggers at 2 Wheel Sunday.? "Hill Quest Dual Sport" and I met-up, he too has a Victory Cruiser, like my Friend "Dead Nought"

@@AngelFaceMotoRider Unfortunately, no. I don't really know anybody.

😞

Thanks, which bike was yours?

I was hoping you could figure that out and find it within your footage. Hint: Watch my last 2 videos ;-)

@@AngelFaceMotoRider Looks like an orange Ninja 650. I think it's at 3:05 of my video. Right?

CORRECT.!! 😺

It was a good time

Don't quote me on this, but I am under the impression that it was an issue up to 2007, and changed in 2008. I would verify on your bike before doing anything. The 2007 wiring diagram I have shows the reverse polarity wiring, if you get a hold of the diagram for other years, hopefully it will show which way it is.

@@grinchbiker5399 Ok thanks. Greatly appreciated

Enjoy the trip, hopefully we get some rain before then. I have a 2007 Vegas, no gold trim. The bags are from Tsukayu in Japan, I love them.

It's almost as difficult as taking it off. Ypu need to overpower the magnet in the stator. Takes a little messing around to get it right.

@@grinchbiker5399 taking it off was a breeze I’ve been trying to get this cover on for about two hours until I gave up for the night

I can't remember if there is a trick to getting it on, I know the magnet is a pain, and the clutch rod can be touchy

My pleasure!

When you installed the 1 LED, did you have a resistor with it?

Good to know, I've never worked on a Harley

@@grinchbiker5399 Do a bit / lot of research if you ever get offered the job pal, very labour intensive. Victories are a much better designed block in my opinion. Ride safe.

@@ianrobertsonRR1 thanks! Ride safe!
