I recently changed stator and bike has only started twice both times it died when left to idle. Getting gas, spark, and turning fast enough to start, but no fire

My kickstand does not touch the plunger of the switch causing me a no start condition. There is no adjustment at the switch mount, or at the kickstand, so I don't know how this came about. Can I just unplug the connector to the switch and do away with it? My older bikes never had this switch...

I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone know of a chrome or stainless radiator cover available? Going down memory lane on the forum, it looks like someone designed one at some point.

Been waiting a while to make this one, got the bike about a year ago, been modifying for the past four or so months. Details in my build thread, titled silver bullet.

Just wanted to say hello! I'm a new member, and new to the biker world. Just finished my biker safety course, and am trying to nurse my 2000 Vulcan 750 back to health. Previous owner didn't take very good care of her, and I'm doing the best I can!
