Ok, I've already let this thread start to get into a bit of a jumble, so I'm going to start adding everything back to the first post as I come across more stuff that needs to go, and will keep status updated there. I'll also add a post to indicate what's been added or sold, but at least the...

Got one person who replied ahead of you, but his stocker is damaged and I've not heard any more back from him yet. I'll press him for a definitive answer and let you know today. We'd pretty much have to do the swap before lunchtime Tuesday, which is when the insurance adjuster is coming back...

Thanks Skoot. 'Perciate it.

I do. The left one is in good condition, but the right one is torn at a seam. I'm not exactly a seamstress, but it looks like a reasonably easy repair, and it is actually usable as-is as long as you don't stuff it with a ton of heavy crap. I've actually been using it like this for quite...

No...he just accidentally left off the quotes around what I wrote. Those are my items and he just bought them. Tail plugs and CD manual are sold. I can barely keep up here. ;-}

Stock rotors have ~30k on them, but are in very nice condition and had no pulsation when they were removed from the bike. The Galfer wave rotors aren't "stuck" with the bike, but they had a very slight pulsation to them. It was never bad enough to bother me, but I can't see trying to sell them...

Bags were DESTROYED! Literally ripped from the bike with both top hooks ripped out of each one. Ironically, the tail of the bike is totally undamaged! I'm in C'ville, bike is currently in B'creek. $45 for the risers?? Hmmmm, any chance of doing a temporary fix on the tear, like some...

Well sadly, shiny fresh tires, sub-freezing temps, and my favorite S-curve conspired to make me throw my '05 Galaxy Blue beauty down the pavement Tuesday. It was a fairly peaceful slide...right up until it found the curb. Then I watched helplessly as it cartwheeled through the air and came...

Really? Nobody shops at BikeBandit?

Well, since this thread has been ressurected and I haven't been on this forum in a very long time, I'll make my first post back a good one. I was just cleaning up my office and ran across a $10 BikeBandit gift card. I think it might have come with my AMA renewal, but I never shop at BB. So if...

From a subsequent e-mail I got from mcatrophy; BINGO!!! We have a winner! I stopped at Radio shack on the way home from work and picked up another $.99 pack of 330 ohm 1/4 watt resistors, put two in series and wired them across the vacant headlight connector for the high beam indicator power...

I can, but your e-mail address isn't in your profile. I'm tempted to try juggling resistor values to see what that yields me. Since the method you linked me to originally worked with a 1 ohm, 10 watt resistor (but the resistor got really hot), and the fellow who posted the fix claims to have...

The xD wiring is very different. The H/B indicator on the xD gets its power through the headlight bulb, not from the dome fuse as in the xB. For whatever reason, the HID kit isn't passing the voltage on to the indicator, although I honestly don't understand why not. The previously mentioned...

Unfortunately that doesn't work.

Hmmmm, not quite getting the desired results. When I put in a 10k 1/4 watt, the high beam indicator doesn't come on. When I stick in a 1 ohm 10 watt resistor I had laying around, the indicator comes on, but the resistor gets REALLY hot, REALLY fast! Thoughts??

Guilty as charged (pun intended), but I know that the people most likely to be able to help me solve this problem (like Alan and yourself) like to hang out here. Not sure if you get the Scion xD on your side of the pond or what it's called there if you do. It's my new "work car" I just picked...

The HID "kit" takes its signal from one of the headlight sockets. There is an external power source to the HID kit from the battery and there are also external grounds to both HID bulbs, and the high beam signal actually powers a solenoid in each bulb to change the depth of the bulb in the...

Putting a bulb in the empty socket would work, but I don't think it would be a very good solution. A bulb wouldn't survive very long under those conditions. But a resistor will last forever. Problem solved, I think.

Found this resistor. I'll shop around to see if I can find one cheaper. Thanks again.

Well, the indicator is an LED on an IC board in an '08 car. I think logic control is the issue rather than corrosion. So I'm looking for a 50 watt 7 ohm (roughly) resistor with a built-in heat sink, yes?? Thanks for the help.
