No Maxton! Last Pics! NOS Wired!
Time ran out! Bergie, actually the "Wiring" went smoother than "Anything" Else, except like everything else something was wrong / Missing! The On / Off Switch was not the right one for what I was doing. What I Got was actually 2 different Kits to make one. AND without being able to have everything hooked together, it will not work! Actually everything does work, and I rigged it so it would work, but I have no external way of turning everything off! 
Some of the things that happened were
The NOS Express Bottle leaked when filled They said that maybe the "0" RIng was leaking and they sent a new "0" Ring. When I took it apart, there was "NO" "0" RIng to replace
The third Bottle I got today had a valve and gauge that are 1/2 as long as the Bottle, I could not use it under the seat!
Wasted 3 hours on rush hour yesterday to get a 1/16" Pipe tap only to find 1 in each box when I got home
You already know the story of the too short injectors and the switch to Foggers and the fact that the Jets did not fit and when I changed the line fittings, the foggers have thin tubes that make it spray better, but I now cannot use
What I had left to do when this came to a stop was mount the 19 tooth, drill 2- 1/4" holes to mount one sensor and cut off 1/4" off of the 2 time certs that mount the front of my seat! That is it! (Other than tired as Hell)! I went to bed after 1 am for the last 2 nights and midnight the prevous 2 nights. Not hard to do for you young people and how I lived when I was Road Racing, but that was 20 years ago and not so easy now! I still have to clean up before I can go to bed tonight 
Did I mention "No Time to test"!! I really am not going to let up, I am going to get the correct switch and finish everything as fast as I can so I will have a better relationship with by Bed Before the Last Maxton! ")
Close but no cigar! While I am at it, I will put on my new front tire and get a few miles on it at speed to make sure it is OK along with a little Dyno time! (Maybe even finish the paint job!)

If determination was paid by the dollar, you'd be a rich man Vincent.
You've got a month until we meet at Maxton. We'll make passes, run over 200 and eat at Capt. Larrys!
I'm sure the sandman's beating you to death...Now go to bed!
See you soon friend.

Maybe too pissed to go to bed and need a little cool down time! I had a time plan that gave me just enough time to recover on every problem I had, but never figured a switch would get me! I appreciate you Dan and the other people on this are the other 2 boards. I used everyone's energy because I sure do not have this kind of energy my self anymore! A lot of good people gave me a lot of support win lose or draw! If I really had to put my finger on one thing that caused this, it was "Money"! I do not have any and had to buy things as I got it and get some things that maybe were not suited for what I wanted to do, but even now, I had no way to know this until "After the Fact"! The good thing is I have done everything you see here (Nos, Aero Seat, Tank, Pipe and everything I needed to put it together was under $2,000. But $2,000 is still not chump change  (Specially since I am restoring my Mother's house to sell in Toledo and paying all of the estate bills while still dealing with the Medical Law Suit plus just pay my Normal Bills! Looking at this right now, even I realize that I must be blessed to be able to do all of this "NOWADAYS" (I have to say it while a certain party is in office that is not noted to be the Po Peoples best friend?

Yep, you're right Vincent, we hate poor people. It's our fault you're poor. Just keep your bitchin' up, maybe someday you'll get what you need. jeez....the fucking guy can't even write a thread on bikes without bitching about being poor, or slamming the Rebublicans. Must be real sad life you have there always blaming someone else for your issues.

Otis, I think you better read what I said again in "Context"! #1, Did not refer to the Supporters of the "Party", only the people that can make the decisions and namely the head one! #2, Said that I was "Glad that I could do what I was doing because there are a lot of people that cannot" I do not know where you live or what you know, but there are a lot of people "Nowadays" that cannot buy food or pay rent, let alone play with motorcycles!
Last, If you ever understand just one thing about me, please understand this. I have no problem in being Poor! I am also not ashamed of this either! This is as much about what I am doing skill wise as it is for what people in very limited budgets can do AND AT A TIME A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HURTING FINANCIALLY (More than they were 3 years ago also). There are a lot of people that simply think "I can never afford to do that!" I want those people to know that "MAYBE" they can, even in the worse of times.
Now a Personal note to just you! You may think everything is just fine out there! You may not want to hear anything to the contrary. There is an election coming up next year and you are going to hear a lot more people than just me saying a lot worse about some people that you admire! SO deal with it!

VIncent I dont give a shit if your poor or not, you seem to use it as a badge of honor or something. My point to YOU Is WHY is the word even used in your thread about bikes? Who the hell cares. We are intrersted in reading about your maxton adventure, not that "AT A TIME A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HURTING FINANCIALLY (More than they were 3 years ago also)." What the fuck does that have to do with it? It just makes me sick that I can't open a thread of yours to read about your bike and prepping for Maxton, which I am indeed interested in by the way, and can't get through it without you making a point about poverty or how terrible everything is (in your eyes). Jesus Christ man if you want to talk about this crap start a new thread so I can avoid it.
As far as this
"Now a Personal note to just you! You may think everything is just fine out there! You may not want to hear anything to the contrary. There is an election coming up next year and you are going to hear a lot more people than just me saying a lot worse about some people that you admire! SO deal with it! "
I learned very quickly to ignore all these people you speak about because if I spent my day listening to all this bullshit I'd be as miserable as they all are. Fuck Vincent what happened to American's perservering, being positive and working together? It's no more, the people you admire, the "elitists"...............ahhh fuck it.

I think I'll light up my crackpipe, sit back, and watch this ordeal unfold. But I need to make a valid attempt to stop this first. (To be politically correct  )
You fellas need to lighten up. (now, that's outta the way)

One day I will figure out how to go fast and not spend money to do it, then only my Brains will matter! I also want to live in someone's world where Money does not matter either, but it does. I look around this board and see "Best place to get a Pipe"! Does anyone here think this person is asking about the nicest person or are they asking about the Lowest Price! I see Group Buys! Why so we all can have togetherness in buying a part? I think to get the "Lowest" price! So Money does matter and how cheaply someone can do something is improtant. Yes I have a Poor persons Mentality. I might even make more money than some people that think they are well off. But that is not the point either. The point to me is to Go fast, Run well and not to waste money to do it!
Believe it or not Mr. Otis, I have actually tried to leave the Politics out. But I live in Washington DC near Walter Reed Army Hospital and work between the WhiteHouse and the Captiol Building. I live it and see it every day and it is almost impossible to wirte anything with out it being there. Maybe if I still lived in Ohio, it would be a lot easier to ignore, but I live in the Nations Capitol and that is all I hear and see every day! Also remember I handle Credit & Collections and have a "Skill Level" of being able to get under people's skin at will. Put those 2 together and you have "ME"! I try to be tolerant of other people's views, so Cut me a little slack and I will give you more! BTW, I have always done things differently, even when the bike I built could pass Freddie Spencer on the Banking at Charlotte using Moto Cross Fox Air Shox's!

Did not want to put this in the same post! I am walking with a Cain today. Sunday my left knee took a break from supporting all of my weight for a while! I can barley walk and hurts like hell! I think this is its way of protesting all of the standing I have been doing for the last few weeks. If you notice, you can see a chair in some of my pics, so I do sit as much as possible! BTW, that red chair is an "official" chair from Daytona in 1973. I borrowed it and never returned it!

OK you're environment is getting to you, being in DC and all. Now you've admitted the problem so it's time to step away from it. Talk to us about your bike and about your efforts, that's what I clicked on this thread for. Personally, I don't care if your black, white, red, poor, a millionairre, blue collar, white collar, homeless. Whatever, I have friends in just about every category I just mentioned, it doesn't matter to me. I want to read about you running maxton and how it went or will go. You can write about that without talking about poor or party's or the administration. You can do it Vinnie, I know you can.

You guys need serious help! Otis, I really do understand, but it is like running your hands under Very Hot water! It really feels good just the Micro Second before it burns you! As I wrote about where I live, it was one of the first times even I realize that when I am in Ohio and other places, the news is different! Here the "Local" news is National news and the National is world news! I guess it will just wear anyone out! Also Like I said, If I had a Million Dollars (Very Possible from my Law Suit) I will always be poor and look at things from that view point. I really try to do things with limited money on purpose! Because I really want it to be possible for everyone and I want to do it all myself! Please understand this in the future and "TRY" to give me a pass when I slip from time to time!
Last on being black, the only reason I mention this is beside age, some of the things I do have not been done before and to the others, I do not what that to be an excuse! If you look anywhere, I have NEVER Used it as an excuse or state some one was against me on these boards because of it. Actually I sent a note to the ECTA and told them to not Discriminate "FOR" me! I felt that they were doing more for me because I was and not to do anything that they would not do for anyone else! I even told them that I did not want my Class "B" License when I ran 174+ because it was not over 175. SO give me a little credit that I am trying to do it right, but just like having a little fun from time to time with it!!

Hey Vincent,
I just noticed something. Where did all the left hand bar switches go? Are you planning on running without them, or are you going to put them back on before you run?

Great EYE! I took it off to do some wireing into the Horn Button! I am now hooking up a Micro Switch in conjuction with the Horn button so it will only work at 100% throttle "AND" when I push the button! vice versa, it will turn off if I even ease up on the throttle or the button! Safe vs sorry!
That huge tail section will get a number plate to help break up the large size!
Bergie, the thread is back on track! Just had to do a little house cleanning

I'm with ya Vinnie, I'm with ya.... Lately things on the national news have gotten soo damn brutal it's just not worth watching anymore. Most of it is lies or half truths anyway. Yesterday I went home from work early, (not feeling well) took a nap, then played with my daughter from 4:30 until she went to bed at 9. Best straight 4.5 hours I've had, the TV was off, the radio was off, it was just she and I. That my friend is what it's all about for me now.

Enjoy them when you can and protect them from the truth of life until it is necessary because when you let them on how it "Really" is, Childhood is OVER! Took a few pics of the Throttle assembly and will go to Radio Shack and find a Microswitch today! I am not letting up until I am finished!
Anyone know where I can buy an "Exhaust Temp Gauge"? I need to read the pipe temps! to have my own second opinion of how rich or lean I am on NOS!

Today with no pressure and all of the parts, I wired the switches and it works perfect! To "Spray", I now must be at 100% throttle and on the Button! Let up on the throttle or off of the button and the system is off!. Got my seat 95% to where I want it and repositioned the Bottle and electronics so everything fits perfect! I will remove the lower fairings and put the bike on the lift to change the front tire, install the 19 tooth and change rear gears along with a good cleanning! Next weekend if the weather cooperates, I will put a better paint job on the tail section. Maybe during next week sometime I can put the rag on the Dyno and look at the A/F and exhaust Temp!
