  1. So after getting my bike painted this spring and removing the fuel pump from the tank I have had a persistent gas leak. I have taken the tank off several times to fix the problem, each time I take the fuel pump out of the tank and reseat the huge O-ring that goes between the tank and the metal plate with the pump attached. I also replaced the plastic feed and return fittings with metal ones. I can't figure out why it is still leaking or where. I finally got fed up and took gas safe patch putty stuff they sell at autozone and put it around the fittings and the metal plate to try and stop the leak, it worked for a while but now the leak is back, I don't think it liked to stick to the plastic tank. How the hell do I seal this damn tank? Also, what should I use on the fitting? Teflon tape or some kind of liquid seal like loctite? I originally didnt put anything on the threads because it was such a tight fit it was ripping off the teflon tape before it even was even 2 threads in and wasn't sure what to use that was gas safe. What should I do? This bike is really starting to piss me off! I am about to put it away for the winter at my grandparents place if it keeps getting colder but I don't want to smell up their garage with my gas leak.

    Well I think they expire after a year of not using them dont they?

    Its because they used a single chip for both LTE and legacy networks. Most everyone else uses 2 chips. I would have been happy with a slightly thicker phone if it meant both talk and surf but I honestly dont talk much so its not the end of the world to me. In fact, I think after 2 years with AT&T I had somewhere around 5,000 roll over minutes, which I think is the limit haha.
  4. I don't know about the horn system or anything but just listening to them you can hear a difference. I have a 2.1 set for my computer, you probably sell them actually. Those will shake things in my room if I crank the base up, and its clean which is a trait of klipsche.
  5. Looking to do a 675 swap with my bike.
  6. You have way over priced that bike. Your looking more at the $4500 range with those issues, maybe less. I would know, I'm looking for one haha. There is a guy on CL selling a red '06 with 5,000 miles for $4700 jsyk.
  7. Missed the part about already having a sound bar. In that case you might as well hold off on the sound system haha. Now if you had to pick where to spend the money I was going to argue about HTIBs sounding better than sound bars lol.
  8. I think my apartment living room may be the exact same size and I am telling you, try the Yamaha HTIB! HAHA You can always return it but for the money you will spend on a sound bar you could get this and be way more satisfied with the true surround sound. And think about how small those speakers are in a sound bar, you are going to be missing all your mid range with those, and possibly some of your low range too depending on how powerful the sub is.
  9. Well it depends on the receiver and if it has an optical out. Being that the receiver is supposed to be the input it may not have an optical output if that makes sense. High end receiver may have an optical out but its been a while since I worked in Home Theater, at Best Buy haha. I just looked at my Yamaha receiver and it has analog outputs but no optical. Look at the YHT-497BL I know for a fact you can get that for $280 on EPPY and it is GREAT in my apartment! My upstairs neighbors must hate me though haha

    Anyone buy 3rd party lightning cables/adapters? I read the apple ones have a chip in them, similar to the authenticator chip in thunderbolt cables, which could keep 3rd party cables from working. Just wondering if anyone has tried them. I definitely need at least 3 more cables :/
  12. Pending EDIT: Holy SHIT should have looked at the going rate for these before pulling a price out my ass, oh well, my loss haha
  13. Well there is a special way you have to set it up the first time, it needs to acquire GPS signal for 911 and emergency services then it can be moved anywhere in the house and you need to go into your att account online to register device phone numbers. You can have I believe 5 devices registered at once, possibly 6, I dont remember. It is about 10 inches tall, 8 inches deep and 4 inches wide just from a rough guesstimate. Not sure how well it would work on the road though since you need to pick up GPS signal each time you change locations. Might want to call ATT and ask first. It also works best when it is placed before the router or switch, not on them so unless you have access to the source of the network you may have spotty reception even though you have full coverage. The microcell should have priority on the network for clear calls.
  14. There is an red '06 675 for $4700 I am contemplating picking up, just don't want to go through the hassle of selling my bike :/

    Thats why I just made the switch back to verizon this morning, WAY more 4G than AT&T. This thing is blazing fast compared to 3G.
  16. http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=OH Anyone near one of these should do a test on MPG and perceived power gains from non ethanol gas and report back here. I am curious as to how much a difference it makes, supposedly its pretty substantial. I live near the one in Amherst so I will try that one next chance I get.
  17. From what I have heard, octane booster is snake oil. Fuel stabilizer would not remove the extra ethanol, it only keeps fuel from separating and breaking down when being stored for long periods of time.
  18. Yep, couldn't find anything that says it exists on a JB ATV, only that people wanted it.
  19. You can't do hbogo which was the major selling point for me since I am addicted to boardwalk empire. Didn't really look into plex on it since hbo disqualified it from my options from the get go.
  20. I have all apple devices and I still went with a Roku. You can also stream amazon, hbogo, epix and Vimeo if you subscribe to any of those services. I don't know how iTunes does video purchases or where they store them after purchase, but you just need to point plex to the location of the media and it will index it automatically and add it to your library.
