Good work on the fix. But it would be prudent to change the fluid anyway...along with the engine coolant and oil if you haven't done so. It's the proper thing to do on a used bike when you get it. Then you can rest assured that your shit is proper.

Spring break is approaching.... if i dont end up going to florida, then maybe we can work out a day! And i think florida may not happen, we suck at planning. Oh, and the being poor college kids thing.

Lol, trip needs a rename of this thread. Porkchop's Corner.

But the fight was sweet. Seats were soso. The arena was pure electric. Alot of entertaining early KO's. Still cant believe Gabe got knocked out.

My roommate from two years back grew up next to Matt Hammill in Cincinnati. It was really cool to see him and his crew come out in Ohio State jerseys to "Hang on Sloopy". And when he kicked that dude out in the head, the place exploded.

This is the assembly. I need #3 and maybe the end of #6? #3 looks cheap online, like 20 bucks. Although it says #6 is like $120... on sale for $80! WTF? $120 for a wire?

What kind of bulb do you have?

You should be able to get the connector for it for super cheap just by asking around for it. I am sure someone will have an old harness or something where you could have them cut it off and send it to you. Thats what I would do before paying a shit ton of money for it.

If the bike is anything like my gix then the connector is very simple and #3 is probably a black rubber gasket that helps keep moisture out. Also might be found online in the classified section.

Glad to hear the fight went well. I was at a bar in Atlanta and people definitely went nuts when Matt kicked that dude. He seems like a genuine good guy too. Even more props for over coming his disability to fight.

I would really like to go to one of these fights some time but the tickets are always ridiculous and when I go to sporting events, I don't believe in being far away. Which means I would need big bucks, which is precisely why I haven't gone yet.

I've had condensation in the brake lines cause one of the following:

1) very spongy response time on the brake
2) no response and then BAM, piston moves and locks the brake up

Now I change the fluid at the beginning and end of each season.

why at the end, if you are going to change it right away when you start riding again anyway?
