    Faulty temperature readings

    I know mine read 75 constantly when the sensor was disconnected. So bad sensor or maybe wiring open/short?

    Refurbished Headlights

    One of the best things I did back in 2013 when I got my XLR was to put film on the headlights. To get around the import fees, you have to declare them to customs before you ship them out of the country. No import fees on returns just imports.

    New. China tail lights for 1300?

    There is a company listing them on aliexperess. I ordered a set and all I got was an offer to buy one used export version tail light. (Exports have orange turn signal lights) No new ones out there yet.

    Rear wheel bearing replacement

    Ya, I never understood putting the hub mounting bolt behind the lower ball joint nut. If the engineer twisted the hub 10 degrees, you wouldn’t have to separate the upper or lower ball joint to change the bearing and would take 20 min.

    Faulty temperature readings

    Any error message or codes set? Assuming your temp gauge is reading low, it’s probably a thermostat stuck open. You will usually get a message “engine hot AC turned off” and temp gauge will drop to zero (or actually 100 as that’s the lowest reading).

    Assuming you are asking about aftermarket radio install in original faceplate, I used a Metra 95-6511 install kit and did some modifications to the side pieces. Looks good from the front.

    not that I noticed, but it does change when top is put down. So maybe a switch in the top mechanism someplace.

    2004 headlight on 2007

    Maybe you could use the 04 housing with some modifications to fit the 07 electronics? The difference is the 07 has headlights that turn with the steering. The 04 doesn’t.
