Default solution to posting on this crappy forum

I am convinced this forum will never be fixed so i tried a few things to see if the virus can be tricked
&nbsp\\;
the key is to type in everything without any spaces or punctuation
&nbsp\\;
post and then go back and edit
&nbsp\\;
this sucks

THis is just a test to see if I can post a long message.

I must drink beer faster than you - LOL.
It's not hard to install passing lamps on a Street Glide. A HD Service Manual for your specific bike will be very helpful.
Here is a summary of the process of installing the passing lamps part #69818-06.
1. Remove the battery cables, negative first. I just made sure the switch was off.
2. Remove the windshield.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; a. There are 7 screws that secure the outer fairing, 3 on the windshield and 4 on the fairing.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; b. Loosen the 2 screws (torx) near the top of fairing.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; c. Remove the 3 windshield screws.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; d. Gently remove the windshield.
3. Remove the fairing.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; a. No need to remove the headlight from the fairing
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; b. Remove the 4 screws (torx), 2 on each side, on the fairing. The outer fairing will fall off.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; c. Remove the plug from the back of headlight
4. Remove old turn signals.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; a. Trace the wires from each turn signal back its connector in the fairing. One connector on each side.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; b. Unplug the turn signals
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; c. Remove the old turn signal assemblies from the front forks.
5. Disassemble old turn signals.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; a. Note (write down) the location of the turn signal wires in each connector.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; b. Using a straight pin release the pin lock and remove the 2 wires from each connector.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; c. If you're doing it correctly, the wire comes right out. Don't force it.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; d. Remove the turn signal from the old bracket.
6. Assemble new passing lamp / turn signal assembly.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; a. Follow the directions in the kit.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; b. Pay attention to the wire routing within the assembly.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; c. You do not have to remove the pins from the turn signal wires.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; d. Install a pin (included in the kit) on the end of each passing lamp wire (grey).
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; e. Put the turn signal wires (2) back into each connector.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; f. Put the grey passing light wire into each connector. Look for the grey wire in the fairing connector for the correct location.
7. Remove the fairing cap and the ignition switch.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; a. Turn the forks all the way to the left.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; b. Look under the fairing cap (that's the plastic piece under the ignition switch that has places for 4 switches) and unplug the wiring harness.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; c. Insert the key. Turn the ignition to unlock. Turn the ignition to fork lock.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; d. Depress the release button on the bottom left of the ignition, push the key down and turn the key 60 degrees counter-clockwise.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; e. Lift and remove the ignition ****. A spring will fall out of the ****.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; f. Remove the nut (7/8") and spacer. You may have to turn the forks to the right to get at it.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; g. Remove 2 screws (torx) from the fairing cap. 1 on each side.

This has been going on for two months. Two months is a bit much to get somthing fixed.
I saw in one post, a progammer offered free help in fixing the forum.&nbsp\\; If money is the
issue in getting this forum fixed than just say so.&nbsp\\; Don't let everyone think it's gonna be
fixed in the near future.&nbsp\\; I think the world of this forum and almost made a cash
contribution.&nbsp\\; Any other good forums out there?&nbsp\\; I will surely miss this forum as everyone
is great.&nbsp\\; But when you can't post or view pic or even respond to a poll, what's the point.
Sorry, just venting.
