    Testing Amp on Switches??

    I have some sample switches coming in from over seas. I asked them to be 15 amp and of course they said they were. Anyway, is there a way to test these to see what amp they are? They are round rocker switches with the led showing them to be in the ON position. Thanks Brett

    Shackles..??

    Would like to do the TT and shackel thing to my "new to me" 01 ST. I put a Hidden Hitch brand hitch on and the factory shackels angle back to the hitch and looks like longer ones would hit the hitch. Does any one have this set up or know if the longer ones will fit? Thanks Brett

    Replacing Light Assy's; Aiming Needed?

    If it is just yellowing.. Try one of those head light lens resurfacing kits... The ones I have seen ..you just sand/polish the lens and work your way up. Might be worth a try.
