I have not owned a LED specific head light YET. But I have been around some that were. The lights designed to be LED are really great.

Dealing with icy roads is simple for the computer, when big brother recommends staying home, the car will do just that. It will sit in the garage and not move until big brother says it is ok to.

I had a steering lockup on the interstate, it turned out to be a broken front fender. The wind pushed it back till it hit the frame.

Is this possible? Yes very. Is this likely? Oh Yea. Will it happen in my lifetime? nope. There are some hugely big issues that need to be addressed that will take enormous amounts of time and money to make happen. The electrical grid can not handle any more than about 5% of households with ONE electric car. and then they would need to be evenly spread out. It will take a massive amount of time and money to upgrade the entire electrical infrastructure of the whole world.

Except those were all from 2 to 4 years ago, It was just last week they said no more real gas.

If your car is flex fuel, that it has the sensor, You need a good code reader to access it via the OBDII port.

I think these sisters missed their calling by wanting to get into singing.

You need to do the UV oil leak search while it is still hot from the ride. If you wait a day the oil can drain off the area of the leak enough that there will not be enough dye left at the leak to be visible under the UV light. Now you need to go out for ANOTHER ride and more pics...................

That oil warning light is only an oil level. the bike does NOT monitor oil pressure. Under very hard acceleration it is common for the oil to all slosh to the back of the engine and the oil level at the sensor gets low enough to turn on the warning light. That oil light coming on does NOT mean that oil flow or pressure to the engine has been compromised.

There are a lot of us that have been force fed ethanol for a long time now. Yes you will notice a drop in MPG. Yes you will have a drop in performance. Yes you will have cab issues if you do not stay on top of things. Yes you are more likely to have tank rust issues if you leave the tank low for long periods of time. With all that said. I have had to use ethanol gas almost exclusively for the last ten years in my Venture. I add an oz seafoam to every tank of gas. I have yet to have to pull the carbs in 10 years. When I will have the bike sit for a long time It gets a heavy dose of seafoam and some Stabil with the tank filled right to the very top. I will do that winter fill with ethanol free if I can get my hands on it. When I am traveling I will fill with ethanol free any time I can. But that is in reality rare. Over the winter they have bumped up the local gas from 10% to 15% ethanol, I am not sure what that will do to me this summer. I noticed it on my truck that the MPGs dropped a bit. Since my truck is a flex fuel that can take up to 85% ethanol, it as a device that measures the ethanol content of the fuel so that it knows what it is being fed and knows how much fuel to dump in. My engine scanner can access that sensor to tell me the ethanol content of what is in my truck.

Now there is a thought......... Snow at MD, THAT would be something new.

Do the markings on the floor glow green, that would tell if it is new oil or old. If it is leaking that much, it should not be that hard to find.

Just for grins. Point your UV flashlight at the oil sight glass and/or look into the oil fill hole to be sure that the dye is really mixed and doing its thing. Is it possible that you no longer have a leak but there is still oil that leaked before still finding its way out of the nooks and crannies? I agree with @cowpuc, more open road testing and picture taking is required. Jump on that thing and head somewhere.

You don't want what my renewal bill was.......... @cowpuc, you think double secret probation is bad. I can even count how many levels deep I am in.

A headlight designed to be LED will almost always way out perform stuffing a LED bulb into a Halogen housing. There are very few cases of stuffing a LED bulb in a halogen housing that will still have a proper beam pattern.

A bunch of yeas back I went handgun small game hunting with a NRA Handgun Instructor, He was the one that ended up in the ER after shooting himself in the foot, with a handgun......... Since he ended up being OK after the healing, he will NEVER hear the end of it either.......

But that 08 has sub MOA capability, should be able to find the pieces just fine. I guess I will just have to use the 10" MKII, Unless of course I manage to aquire my 50AE Desert Eagle by then................... Back to breaking things........................

Awwww Mannnnn, and I just sold my hand howitzer. If I shatter the target then it is guaranteed that everyone else will miss.

Since the hot light never came on, and the cooling fan was cycling on and off, it sounds like the bike was just fine. Put the temp probe of your temp gauge into boiling water (Distilled if you have it). It should read 212°F or 100°C.

I'm just jealous that no one sells real gas within 100 miles of me. Real gas is available up where I deer hunt, So in November I get 10 gallons of real gas to fill all of my things that will hibernate over the winter. And what is left is a treat for my winter engines.

Just curious, did you ever check to see if you ethanol free is actually ethanol free? Around here they are putting in way more ethanol that they are allowed to.

OUCH!!! Glad you are staying. Maybe cut back on the wife's alcohol consumption instead...........

Some sensors are electromagnetic and some are ultra sonic. I do not know which type you have on your Expy. Ultrasonic should have no issue at all with what you want to do. Electromagnetic may have an issue with the metal around it. Get a chunk of sheet metal at least 6 inches square, of about the same thickness as that push bar and mount the sensor in there to do some testing. Then you will know for sure if it will work for you before you go adding holes and cutting wires. The other option, if you just unplug those 2 sensors will the rest of the system still work? Just disable the front sensors and do it the old fashion way, look where your going .

If you cover the heatsink, where will the heat go? In order to work a heatsink needs good airflow to be able to get rid of the heat. Think of a heatsink like a bathroom sink, you can keep putting water (heat) in as long as the drain (airflow to take the heat away from the sink) is open to let it out , if the drain is closed (airflow cut off) the sink will get full, if you keep putting in more water (heat) the sink will overflow (overheat). When an LED over heats it life span will shorten.

HAHA!!! New aint gonna happen unless I win the lottery. I tried an older wing that a local friend has, It was not comfortable for me to sit on. But you are right, IF I could find a bike with reverse, then size will not matter.
