• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Phil's 2014 (neww) DARTH Mods

    Ok... Last mod done today. I wanted a 52mm round clock/thermometer combo to go in the hole where the fuel gauge is. But alas.... I cannot find one. So... I found a rectangular one. I mounted it in a small plastic project box and away we go.....

    Hummm.... Some of the remotes HAVE been known to be DOA. I know that you know to eliminate as many variables as possible. If it is easy, pull the controller... Hook it straight to a 12v battery, connect a couple of LEDs to the controller, then try the remote. That's as simple as it gets. If it...

    light issues 2014 RTL

    I just looked at the schematic ( I printed a huge one that hangs in my garage). F1 is the fuse that powers the DRLs and the plate light (I stopped hunting when I found that commonality). It runs through the ignition switch then heads to each of the lights through a couple of the connectors. It...

    Hang in there... MOGANG is working diligently to get the dates, hotels and general events set up. For an all volunteer group, they are doing the best they can. I'll bet we'll all hear news within a few weeks.

    light issues 2014 RTL

    Elusive issue. All the things I'd suspect have been mentioned. You look for commonalities between all items of course. Even pulling the body off (we call it Tupperware), without an eye that readily knows what things should look like, it might be a needle in a haystack. I'm going to look at the...

    The pic above is the device... I had to do some mod to it to mount it with the RAM system. It's ok, but now that I have the spectacular meter that does SO much, I wanted a different solution. This one is on the way.....

    Oops. I measured and looked, and it didn't fit when fitting the frunk back on. So... Plan B. Here are the pics and some notes....... the family shot- A close up of the shunt in place. It is mechanically stable, but I added industrial Velcro to add stabilization. It is velcro'd to the metal...

    HA!!! We need to hang out more Roger! The answer is that there are still two negative device wires attached to the battery, bypassing the shunt. In FACT, one of those two is the negative side of the added Fuzeblock that feeds all of the LEDs! So, the shunt would never see the LED load...

    Roger, you may be one of the few that will notice that in the pic, it is wired wrong. I fixed it before bed time. Can you tell what's wrong?

    I have a friend that is an electrical engineer with a specialty in battery management systems. His patented system is used at cell sites around the world and go so far as to predict which battery or cell will fail and when. It is a phenomenal tool. You can read more here... www.btechinc.com...

    I'd love to put something together here in Tyler for anyone that would come. Maybe get Lamont and Harvey to come and do some laser alignments, have some food, fellowship, and show how we do some of the things we do.

    Thanks Bob! Great to know! I actually have all of the lights come on with the switch. The TOTAL draw for everything is about 7-8 amps, so it's not really any issue. AND, with the remote control I can turn them all on/off and/or dim and/or do the zones separately.

    I lost a LITTLE. BUT... in my mind the Brightsides are SO bright, they would do well to go down a little bit. I actually wanted to add another diffuser material between the light and the reflector (which also would slightly lower the brightness), but the material doesn't want to hold glue that well.
