I just have to relate a great story.

Today at 9:25am sharp T150vej showed up at my garage - about an hour and a half from his house. We had never met, just exchange comment son this board and a few pm's. I had been having problems getting my turn signals to work right and he had determined it was the ignition switch. I tore everything down so when he got there we could go to work. He quickly rewired the switch so I have two toggle switches on my dash - one for lights and one for ignition - plus a secret switch we hid so I could have a little security on the ignition curcuit. We finished around noon, the bike fired right up and everything worked great. Solved my turn signal issue, made my guage read right, and everything seems perfect.

Now where else can you find a forum that a guy will give up his Saturday morning (of course, it was PERFECT riding weather this morning in North Carolina), run an hour and a half, and spend the rest of the morning re-wiring someone else's bike for nothing?

Anyway, I wanted to post my sincere appreciation for the help and for getting to meet someone from the forum here. It really made my day. Thanks, again, T150vej!

Great example of the way the biker community helps each other out when they can. Good story. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the words guys.... Mjunk is a great guy and I'm glad to have met him in person. He's also pretty sharp and I did nothing he could not have done himself. I've just done that particular mod so many times on various vehicles, it was easier to take a very nice 3 hour ride and do it, rather than type instructions. He did ALL the hard work anyway...

Wish I could help you IDIDNTDOIT. You must still be in shock - at least I get that way just looking at the photo dayum

SQGeorge - he DID have an old-school tool bag on the bike... he also has a beautiful bull dog that carries around fence posts for a chew toy, so I thought it best that I not do any un-authorized pilfering

I've said here before - this is a great forum! We don't always have similar ideas or opinions, but everyone here totally respects each others ideas, experience and knowledge... and no matter how big or small the contributions, we're all here to help
