Chains,
Glad to see you've kept the bike and are enjoying it. Did you ever document that it had been built for Brad Pitt ? As I said before, something that would add value at Barrett-Jackson etc type auction should you decide to part with it. Sorry to hear you're still chasing the battery drain down issue. I'd thought Randy had given you the skinny that the problem was linked to the bike's electronics ? Guess not from what you are saying. So given that you've been over all that, from information gleaned on other threads, I'd say you've got two possible culprits. Your alarm system or your Legends air ride system. Have you checked both of those ?
You might try dropping it off at an established auto electric shop. There are no motorcycle shops specializing in chasing electrical gremlins. There have been shops for cages doing this for 50 years. Check around your area and see if there is a shop that's been in business for a long time. Give em a call and see if they'll do some diagnostic on your charging system. You have the same basic components (battery, voltage regulator , alternator (aka rotor/stator)

Randy said it was the GPS system, others feel it is more than that, I personally do not know, and not having a schematic for it makes life a bit harder when chasing down issues like that. I do have the info from Randy via e mail on who the bike was built for as well as the receipt on the stereo stating Pitt bike. Bike was in his brothers name when I got it so I do have the information regarding one previous owner who got it from his brother. The Hot Baggers Magazine article it was in would help seal the deal but it is as elusive as a saber tooth tiger. You would think somewhere out there there is an April 2007 issue in someones stash. I have been unable to find it but continue the search.
The bike is truly a class act, people that see it are amazed by the craftmanship and the extreme good looks of it. The paint job is absolutely first class, I cannot imagine what it cost to paint. Kevin Walton in California was the painter and I have talked with him, he remembers the bike vividly.
I have 3 people that would like to have a shot at the bike, the issue is what is a reasonable price, if I decide to sell it for sure for both parties. I know it would cost a fortune to duplicate and with less than 2,000 miles on it the price is significantly more than what I was able to get it for. It just takes me to make up my mind and for the right person to come along and a deal could be put in place. In the meantime I will enjoy it on nice days.
