Re: A couple of really odd questions...
George, I have to thank you too, for all your great patience and sage advice. And everyone else who threw in words of wisdom, even if those words went right over my head. I'm positively giddy with the sheer luck I had, tempered by the knowledge that I would not have attempted it if those of you who ...

Re: A couple of really odd questions...
61k8U8oMM4L._SX355_.jpg Do you use a Battery Tender? Is there a reason why you can't test the lights with the bike Battery? You don't have to take the battery out to use it. If you have a Battery Tender you may have the leads already attached to the battery. Use one of the extra leads you can purch...

Re: A couple of really odd questions...
I'm not an electrical engineer, but I have messed some with electronics and LED's. Your power supplies put out different voltages (V) and have a power output capacities that are measured in milliamps (mA). I can't recall ever seeing a power supply that mentioned anything about watts (W). Your light...

Re: A couple of really odd questions...
All I know is, W=VxA, and A=W/V. Your 12V 0.5A output from the wall charger will max out at 6W output. So probably don't put any LED strips on that you know will exceed 6W? o_O You're assuming that I know what "A", "W", and "V" are. I don't. I can guess that the "...

Re: A couple of really odd questions...
You should be good to go testing an LED that is 6 watts or less. That would be a pretty hi-zoot LED, but if what you are testing is an auxiliary headlamp, than you might be in that ballpark. Marker lights should be way less. LED's are polarity sensitive - if the little darling doesn't light up, swa...

Re: A couple of really odd questions...
Okay, back to the first "odd question" In my box of old power supply/chargers I found two that both say 120v AC input, 12v DC output at 500mA. If I am reading this right, they're 12vDC at 500 milliamps, right? If my limited understanding of electricity is correct, then either or both of th...

Re: Honda X-ADV
There has to be a way for us to tell Honda that we want this in the US.
I'd buy one in an instant.
Can we do anything at all to let them know we want this to be released in the US?

Re: New Forza owners from SE Kansas
Welcome to the forum! There will be plenty of opportunities to post photos, so don't worry. I don't know the answer to your question regarding the Certificate of Origin, but I'm sure some of the Forza owners here will help you. In the meantime, be sure to visit the Owners' Map and put a marker on yo...

Re: A couple of really odd questions...
Outstanding thread, this one. You guys are several different kinds of awesome. Now all I have to do is get up off of old rusty and get some things done. After I finish writing this semester's final exam, and finish grading the remaining 19 term papers I have to grade. Then, finals next week, a bunch...

WH: That's not a bad idea. Except for the "buying" part. My lovely bride can get hard to live with if I spend green stuff. Especially when I have alternate materials on hand which can be utilized. I have, (because I am an inveterate pack rat) two cores from rolls of carpet we installed a f...

It looks great, maybe just add Batman's tonsils sticker and you will be ready to roll. Have you got any more pics from different angles? Batman's tonsils? He doesn't have any; the Joker ripped them out long ago. I am looking around for an appropriate between-the-bars emblem for the Burgman. I will ...

Yup. It won't be at it's awesome brightest best, but it will light up and tell you which lead is positive. As my fantabulous Great-Grandmother used to say, "Well, the band will be playing 'who in the hell would have thought!'" Unbelievable. I have to put that down to ignorance and a menta...

A STANDARD, OF THE SHELF 9 volt battery works fine. You don't need anything special. I made my own attachment for the co...

Baseball bats shouldn't be a problem, I've carried 12 foot two section fishing rods. Get all the gear in the duffel bag and lay it on the rear seat and luggage rack along the length of the scooter then bungee it down. A ratchet strap passed under the seat should do the job at the front and some bun...
