It has been a rainy weekend, so not a lot of stuff got done on the outside of the Ambo. I did install a strap for the new table and made dinner.

There was so much I could have done, but felt like a lazy day. So I ate burgers and salad, had carrot cake for a snack after. Watched 80’s movies till bed time.

Not really an Ambo thing, but it is in the Ambo. Figured a little more light is never a bad thing!

It is my new “high” beam light.

I have two of the LED cube lights that come on with my high beams, Very similar design to what is on your bike.  Their endcaps were sealed poorly and would have drank up whatever water hit them.  The rubber O rings around the screws were dry, and preventing full tightening torque, and the gasket itself on the end cap was misaligned on 2 out of 4.

It appeared to be assembled my a meth addled gorilla.

If I had not opened them up to satisfy my curiosity, I would likely have a story like:
"They were great, until the first time I drove in the rain."

Great light output though, and mine do draw 18 watts each, one of the few LEDs that actually draws what it is advertised to draw instead of stating its halogen equivalent.

Be sure to put strong magnets on the bottom of each of the pans. This will keep any metal particles from going through the eng and trans. Will extend the life of them YUGE. My dad taught me this decades ago. When you go to drain the oil/fluid pull the magnet off. Of on the trans..leave it there and then when you look at the bottom of the pan you will see how much it catches. Less metal particles...longer life. Cheap Cheap Trick

My dad has a 1973 F250 that has over 400K miles on it. When he did a rebuild on it at 300K miles it only needed stock rings put in it. No honing, boring, or anything. Just the actual rings wore down. I have tested the magnets for 2 decades. It works !
