Marginal Science? I think I saw them once. I think they opened for Crowded House. Relays will be packed and hopefully not needed. I still need to thin out my tool pack, I"m going 600 miles, not 6000! Forecast is looking favorable. If I stay in Ashland Friday night I can cut over to the coast (from Sutherlin into Reedsport, if you're following along on a map). There's a huge elk preserve just outside of Reedsport. Then up the coast on Saturday. We'll see.

When I picked up Darth Quota, he was still running the original junk Siemans relays at about 65000 miles. This relay thing might be a little over blown. Jesus, man. docc might hear you!

You don't think I've thought of that?

It's all freeways where I'm going. So I'd only try it if it was stopped and no hope of moving. If I was really stupid I'd head up into the City and visit Munroe Motors. I went there once about 25 yrs ago. I also thought about visiting Rabers. But then I'd rather get over to Oakland during the daylight. I'll be staying in the good part of Oakland. I've stayed in the bad part before. Only one murder on the block the night we were there... Maybe I should be fretting more about the relays than the traffic?

I am really not looking forward to the traffic down there. The good news is that motorcycles can use the carpool lanes. The bad news is that the car pool lanes don't help. I have to go from Palo Alto to Oakland in the late afternoon. Ugh. I'm sure I'm making it out to be worse than it is. I've never lane split like they do down there. I guess if the traffic is really bad I could try it. Just tuck behind one of the local bikes and hang on!

After you post pics!

This is a little crude but if you were worried about the mount sticking up to much you could always trim the lower part off.

Ideally you want it to sit flush like this. But even RAM shows an example of it sitting above. There is a long bolt going down so it shouldn't snap off. Does anyone have a picture of the top stem nut off? Could it be replaced by a "traditional" nut?

Are you going to keep the side bag mounts?

PM sent From Jerry (JRD) I think the mount is suppose to sit further down in the stem. While it will probably be ok, I suspect there is additional stress on the mount. You could change the stem nut to a open design. That might work. Then you could shove the mount into the stem more.

Beautiful bike!

I believe you need at least two cables. One is the USB to ODBII which needs to have the correct chip. Then there is the ODBII to Guzzi (actually FIAT) adapter. I don't think it matters which one you get here. Can anyone confirm? I'm still reading up on this stuff. I don't recall the Lonelect taking long to ship to Oregon.

It's from Lonelec. You had a link somewhere to an adapter cable on eBay. I might try that. https://www.ebay.com/itm/262140277271

This cable doesn't appear to be available from this source. Are there any other sources in the US? I have the USB to ODBII cable that I used on my Triumph. I may just order the adapter cable from the U.K.

As long as the bike keeps running I won't touch them. But I'll have spares!

Fuses: 5s and 10s and 30? That should be it, right?

i doubt the mirrors are made for Guzzis. You'll need to make some adjustments to make them work.

As soon as I get the bike back home I'm going to see how my Norton fairing fits. It's similar to the SFC but a little different.

It's snowing in Northern California and Southern Oregon. That would have made for a highly unpleasant ride. Just taking the relays, the other stuff is Molex parts for the 850-T.

Already in a sealed bag and bubble wrap never to be used again!

That's what I was thinking too.

And yet people claim to have done it.

Oh, you gave only 5 digits.
