  1. This is a common issue and it usally turns out the connectors just need cleaning and a little dielectric grease put on them.
  2. No can't say I have.
  3. Exsisting damage? I kept having to tell my adjuster "that was already there", then he would say "are you sure" and write it down anyway.
  4. At least it's not a long trip for me
  5. Rode up to Charlotte on Friday and test rode a 2012 wing, still don't think I could move over to one. Did not take any pics, I did take pics mountain bike riding yesterday. It does seem most of the names on here are familiar, I think I have meet a handfull and all so far have been great folks.
  6. Been too nice to be inside, rode all weekend. But we could always stir something up!
  7. Do you deliver?
  8. Only time ketchup goes on a hotdog is if there is no chili.
  9. They are 8MM I believe. You use to be able to find adapters. You can redo the cable and do that also ie. the Marshall Mod like I have on mine.
  10. Rode a little over 400 miles yesterday and when I was not on the interstate you pretty much had a American Flag in sight here in SC and NC, I hate to say but I did not even think about it till you mentioned it.
  11. OooRah...
  12. I guess it will do
  13. \ What did you do to that poor tip on that Iron, and you call yourself a 2M tech.
  14. I feel you pain, I am just getting over the crud. Wish you the best and a speedy recovery.
  15. Another $12.00 well spent.
  16. You had a birthday?
  17. If you do not use flux and the wire is dirty it will do that, you can use an anti-wicking tool.
  18. Too hot for circuit boards, great for doing wire splices. If you are really careful it may work, I have a tendency to be very picky when it comes to soldering.
  19. Let us know you Itinerary I may ride up from Charleston.
  20. Here is a decent iron and it is fairly reasonable. You never want to use a gun on a circuit board too much power. Use alcohol and an acid brush to clean the area to be soldered. Make sure the tip is clean and properly prepared. Alsway use flux only rosin core never acid flux. If it is a cold solder joint you will want to re-flow the solder. If you think there is corrosion under the joint use a vacuum extractor or solder week remove the solder and put new on be careful not to measle the board. Remove excess flux with alcohol and the acid brush again. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3086619
  21. Happy National Young Reader's Day, May all you dreams and wishes come true.
  22. I will help anyway I can. Not sure how but will give it some thought. Will keep yall in my thoughts and prayers.
  23. I think I am going to schedule a test ride just to check it out, the closest dealer to me is in Asheville.
  24. It is only a 14 hour ride pretty much straight up, but I don't think my body could stand it right now. I will just wish you the best and wish the misses a great day.
