so, you driving up the parts to Chad? or mailing them?
He's only about an hour away
I offered to do the whole retrofit for him, but I don't know if he could make the logistics of getting the bike to me work.

Yea, Im just horribly busy...going up and back, even though its just one hour away, over the course of a few weekends would be really hard. So, mail it is
It'll be fun learning a little more about my bike and getting some satisfaction of doing it myself. Im sure ill screw something up, but, Im sure I can figure it out. I wired a catseye tailight on my old Shadow myself...Im sure I can figure this out. Seems the "hardest" part will be splicing the angel eyes, so hopefully no problems.
PS...as of 1:39 PM now I havent started the break down...probably around 4pm...so hopefully so pics tonight!

Sigh, I'm delayed...was trying to hang a shelf and drilled a hole through pvc pipe to my washing machine. Stupid stud finder thought it was a stud. Hardest part will be getting enough play in the 2" pvc to get the couplings on.. its all in tight space. Gotta fix this first. Sigh. Ill be up all night to get the light out.

Sorry, that sucks bro. Get that bad boy out though so you can get it shipped and back on your bike. Hope you get it off tonight. I look forward to your detailed pics and experience for my foray into disassembling the light.

Im trying to decide if 2 couplings and pipe will have enough play to fit in there. I dont think I can use a compression fitting though (its from the washing machine).
I might have to go get 4 90 degree elbows. Im not sure. I can fix this, but, I can really jack it up too. Sigh

Just paid for my Retrofit. Woohoo! NOt gonna start a thread yet though since I am not certain when I will actually get my light off. Will be soon, but probably not today or tomorrow.

Im hoping what Im about to do will work. There is NO play with this pipe, so, Im going to use 2 standard couplers...but on one coupler I will use my dremel to grind down the inner lip/seat inside the top coupler...this will allow me to slide the coupler down, then back up while the cement hardens.
The bottom will be a normal coupler.
Got the idea here:
HOW TO FIX A LEAKING CPVC PIPE
Since this is the outgoing water from the washer, it should be very low pressure...im hoping this works

Im also superstitious and wondering if I should not touch my bike today, do some hail marys, and do it tomorrow...Im bound to screw it up if I touch it tonight haha. Ugh :surrender:
I hear ya, just one of those days. Have a beer or six after you fix your pipe and call it a day. Get up tomorrow and make me some good dis-assembly instructions. LOL! J/K Have a beer and relax, sounds like you earned it.
Don't worry if it takes a little bit to get off, because I am slammed with headlights.
