All,

Well... I replaced the handle bars today.. when I was putting the right side kill switch/ignition switch box back on, the shitty soldering connection to the Ignition switch popped off. So, I tried to take care of it.. but I suck assssss at soldering. So im totally screwed. I dont know what to do, or if there is a way around it. Its the little black cable..

So, because I "thought" i had it right, and then wrong, then right.. I kept unscrewing.. and one of the pan head screws stripped. Tomorrow I have to go buy an attachment to get the little sucker out, but does anyone know what size the screws are that go into that thing? The longer one? There are three screws total.. 2 long ones and a nub one... I stipped a long one.

Other than that, im stuck there. Everything else is working fine except the ignition button.. im so so so so frustrated.

Any help or recomendations on how to get around this would be awesome.

Thanks guys.

Did your solder job keep popping off? The stripped screw aside, since that obviously has to be fixed, if the solder popping off is the root problem, then that needs to be addressed, first, I think.
