Yes, it would go active with the fans on and with the fans off....because it was activating independent of the engine temperature.
Thanks!
This week has flown by!
Have not done much on the list. Today, after work I put the floorboard extensions on.
I ordered the kit from VTwinGoodies.com I knew it would only fit the right side and I would have to do some other work to make the left side work because of the parking brake.
But I thought it would be a good jumping off point.
This is the 4th kit I've purchased from VTwinGoodies, as always, it was delivered quickly.
It does not seem like moving the floorboards out 1" would make that big a difference....but it really is Much more comfortable for me.
Here is the right side stock- Foot is way up against the engine/pipes.
This is a pic of the parts from VTwinGoodies-
Here is a pic of the right side with one of the round spacers and one of the squarish spacers installed.
The hardware with the kit is Grade 8.
Much better, I can move my foot around more, and much less likely to get my boot heel scuffing up the exhaust shield.
Here is a pic of the left side in stock form. It does not feel as tight against the engine/primary, but there is still very little room to move my foot around.
I figured I was going to have to pull the bolts, see what I needed in the way of spacers and longer bolts, & then make a trip to the hardware store in the morning.
I was very happy to see there were only 3 bolts and all the same size.
I was able to use the second round spacer & a bolt from the VTwinGoodies kit. I thought I was going to have to go to the hardware store and get a couple of spacers and grade 8 bolts. Then I realized that the
Sportster Passenger Comfort Peg Extensions we make would probably fit. They did!
So I was able to get it all bolted up (with lock washers and thread-locker) this evening. No need to go to the hardware store in the morning.
Here's a pic of the left side finished.
It went much easier than I thought it would.
There was plenty of wire for the parking brake to move out 1"
Tomorrow and Sunday I will be getting more items done on my list.
