Thems the brakes Fred!
I tore into it tonight. Its all crustied up. Might as well do the fronts too. It sucks because it was in the low 60's today, perfect for riding.

Nick rented a diesel side by side for this weekend. He is planning on selling the kfx700 and the oddesy, and getting one of these. It actually goes really good, and is perfect down at the farm. Billy tried jumping it already, but I guess your not surprised!

Re wired my camper. New walls were built. New seating benches built [one needs to be fixed] getting close to pulling the shell to replace the floor.

Cool. Are you going to add LED lighting to save power ?
I converted my taillights to LED. I will replace the light bulbs inside the vintage fixtures to LED as well. I'm going to put a porch light on it and that will be LED. It will need to be an automotive light fixture since it's 12vdc. I want as much light as I need with saving power.

Should I run my 12vdc lights on their own circuits or should I run them in series? Each light will have its own switch, 3 lights total.
 
So, run individual leads or parallel? I can run a single lead for each switch, I've got no problem doing that. I have enough open fuse slots in my power panel. That's why I ask. My electric tongue jack will be ran out of the box and I'll wire up a radio fused line and 3 lights.

my newest find a true piece of history.1978 Honda atc90 runs and rides like new
 
starting my stock 12 to 24v/...maybe 36v kids power wheel operation:)
charging up batterys as we speak..then got to get to wiring/testing lol
at least 1 or 2 of them are getting fryed this summer:)
ripped the 30v pocket rocket today it hits near 20mph it is kinda scary because it is so tiny/and for a 7 year old i can image even worse lol

You wouldn't be able to have individual switches with series either. Parallel would be the way to go, the power draw from lights won't be that large anyway, especially if you switch to led

Another nice grab harley!

I was referring to running a power lead to each switch as opposed to running in parallel. I can run parallel, that's not a problem.
 
I can run parallel, that's not a problem.
I don't see any reason why not for just lights, it would be easier and less wire (probably) that way. You could probably run alot of leds on one circuit if need be, but I'm not sure, I haven't really messed much with 12v much since my school days.

On another note I see they are still looking for that plane off Aussie, I think their on the right track. The pilots were probably going to see Blaaster for a leaktest!
