Yes you better buy a new one. (posted the links to compare between them) | ||

If you haven't done this already get yourself a cold beer and an assorted set of torx tools and a screwdriver and go over the all the exposed nuts and bolts and screws to make sure they are all tight. Then check all the connectors to make sure they are seated good and tight. It should take no longer an hour and its well worth the effort. I do this every 500 miles. | ||

| Hellraged |
is there a way to get this tail light bulb to stop moving? wont stay on unless i turn it but when i get going it goes over and on ect... any suggestions on how to make this light blub stay in on place? | ||
| Midnight_rider |
tail light bulb has two small studs on base of the bulb if turning in socket take some pliers and squeeze the socket to make it alittle smaller DON'T take much force tight up socket so bulb does not turn past studs | ||

thanks midnight, i will do tomorrow at work since its dark here now. also the K&N airfilter i bought awhile back from harley for my S&S airbox the width is alittle too big so when i tighten airbox on it the airfilter scruches.. i called harley to ask if they have one with less width and they told me i shouldnt tighten my airbox so much and to let it *show* alittle.. like have the airfilter show alittle but not to the point of falling off of course. is this what i should do? is it ok to see the airfilter from the base on this S&S? what happens if it gets wet since i dont have a garage but i do have a cover and i do ride in the rain sometimes if it starts to rain suddenly. | ||

ok all, i need SOMETHING else lol what goes on this airbox on the carburator? i noticed some oil on the exhaust heat guard and rubed my finger under the airbox and was oil on there.. opened the airbox and noticed nothing on this screw head or something.. anyhelp thanks? what is missing here on the airbox?    | ||
| Guell |
those are the head breathers. Do a search on how people have routed them out of the intake. | ||
| Hellraged |
ok will do, i have a hose connected to the back of that hole, just nothing in the inside.. theres threads there should be something screwed in. | ||
| Guell |
no, nothing screws on inside the intake, those just puke the head blowby into the intake. | ||
| Hellraged |
ok so alittle oil is normal then? nothing to be concerned about? still runs good and all. put almost 1k miles on it since i fixed the front pulley. | ||
| Guell |
i prefer oil not going into the intake myself | ||
| Hellraged |
lol i agree.. how to stop or what causes this? btw i still cant get this light bulb to stay in place.. i dunno what else i can do i tried the pliers on the back connectors to get them closer together and all but still dont seem to stay in place and rattle loose enough to where the connecters arent connecting.. i guess ill just buy that LED one and be done with it | ||
| Hellraged |
anyone? | ||
| Brother_in_buells |
use some liquid gasket or some silicone to let the bulb stay in place! (just a little) (Message edited by Brother in buells on July 15, 2011) | ||
| Zaphof |
LED is the way forward. | ||
| Hellraged |
yes imma buy that ducati intergrated backlight today after i get home from work :P , i will use that liquid gasket thanks brother. | ||
| Road_thing |
You really don't want to put anything inside your air filter that could come loose and get sucked into your motor. rt | ||
| Hellraged |
alright ill leave it be then, ill try that liquid gasket on the lightbulb in the back, its dangerous thisthing not being tight and keep coming loose  no breaklights suck! | ||
| Guell |
Just reroute the lines out of the intake, do a search, tons of threads on it. | ||
| Hellraged |
ok i put some electrical tape around the base of the bulb seems to stay in place with me shakeing it byy hand, will see when i ride it in a min. As goes the rerouteing of the lines out of the intake.. i dont understand, they are all hooked up and connected.. dont know what to search for matt | ||
| Hellraged |
