If it makes you feel any better, I went riding the other day with my brother and noticed my whip lights quit working, I thought oh well I'll figure it out later. I got home and checked the wires and some how or another when I ran the wires I litteraly looped it around the drive shaft some how. I guess I wasn't paying any attention, couldn't see, tired, or beer, don't know probably all three. Luckily when it ripped the wire out it didn't rip out the whole entire switch panel. Lol. Something I learned from all this is when you have extra slack in your wires under the hood don't bundle them up all together and put big zip ties around all of them. If you snag one wire it might pull all of them out all together.

Any pictures:confused:

Lmao that's pretty funny. I'm sure we've all made a mistake here or there.

Lol.. just a dumbass moment and I wasn’t thinking. Everything went smooth last night. Took about 30 minutes per wheel to set the ring and bead.

I had to have a 7 year old show me how to do it. I’ll send him up next time you need help.

This is fantastic! Its amazing what kids can do when given an opportunity combined with some good coaching and a little bit of patience. I used to be a school teacher and its disheartening to see how worthless some parents are. If more parents spent time like this with their kids the world would be a better place.
