Figured I'd see if there's interest in the combo before uninstalling it. How about $275 plus actual shipping? I use USPS discounted online rates so best guess would be $25-ish cross country and less for closer buyers. The helmet is 9 years old, in pretty good shape, but far from new. The visors work fine, face mechanism is smooth and perfect. There is a thin vinyl coating on the bottom foam which has peeled off, the underlying foam is holding up. I believe I have all the extra parts for the Sena that I didn't use. That's working great also.

Did you try keeping your dick in a vise? But yeah, check the oil.

WTF?? Why all of that? Northern thing? I've never seen that much shit in a house. Also two of your Flugel valves are cupped.

It improves the accuracy of COVID tests for sure.

I've been afraid to touch it based on the China bike getting worse.

I added that, good call. Dot, make sure you talk to Joe as he's parting bikes now.

Not sure what you're asking. Yes, that's another fluid film product, and I know very little about it, never tried it. I've heard great things for use on underbodies in snow areas. It's a lanolin product in a carrier, while CorrosionX is an alkenyl in a petroleum carrier. That allows it to bond to carbon really well. No idea how lanolin works at a chemical level. I read about CorrosionX on lots of electrical/electronic/boating forums and never hear of Fluid Film.

I went through all the logical steps, and everything I tried made it worse and worse. Maybe Chinese plastics are as good as their metals, as I thought it was basically getting more sticky. I started with standard plastic-safe switch cleaner, got worse. Added CorrosionX, got worse. Took it apart and went through several cleanings and lube, got worse. Then I realized they are $27 and just said fuck it. I suppose I should try doing the XX now while it's too hot to ride, and have time to order another. The China bike fix attempt was in good riding weather so it pissed me off a lot.

CorrosionX is not a conformal coating, and conformal coatings do not clean things. The most common conformal coatings that are easily available are silicone, which cures flexible but not fluid, and acrylic which cures hard. CorrosionX is a different breed; a fluid film that will never cure and will always remain fluid. Boeshield is another great option in fluid film products. I have all four. They all have different uses. Fluid films have great applications from electronics that move to vehicle underbodies in harsh conditions. Curing conformal coatings are not suitable for moving things, that I've ever seen, though I'm certainly not a real expert on them. Non of the conformals sitting around at the local electronics supply house would be suitable for a switch. CorrosionX should be great for switches. I finished killing off a sketchy turn signal switch by using it. Could have been it was too far gone.

That's a great point, and something they commented on in the Blackstone tests, but don't recall the details.

I could use a toolkit strap.

Blackstone Labs tested oils that were many decades old, some bordering on a century, but still sealed, and found no degradation. If it meets the current standard you need, no risk.

That's exactly how I made the last two problem switches much worse. And I have a shitload of proper electronics supplies, I didn't go in there with WD-40 and Vaseline.

My turn signal switch is sticky and unreliable, the high beam clicks but doesn't always work to engage it. Though I have a feeling anything that old would be too. If you have a nice one, I'm buying.

Even dielectric grease, why am I not shocked?

Not any more, at least last time I looked. HF was $15, but stopped selling them. Everyone else seems to be $100. That was about a year ago I think.

You idiots misspelled "sewer." The Cigna mask has become my favorite. No clue about the maker or other source. It's just a mid-thin light fabric, no wire, no orientation (it identifies as hetero-flexible). Fits a large noggin well. Doesn't fit Moriah's XS head at all. So now both of them are mine!

It's just plain black cloth, nothing interesting about it and no identifying marks.

Cigna sent us masks in the mail, they just showed up. Moriah thinks they are too huge (she wears an XS size helmet), and I think they are almost big enough (XXL). The great part is that they are incredibly super soft fabric.

...that doesn't filter for shit and pollutes your lungs itself.

Yes. Your point? Because of this thread I started paying attention to masks, and 100% of the people I saw at the grocery store yesterday were in basic reusable cloth masks. At first many were wearing various disposables, N95, etc. I stopped noticing masks, and never noticed the change.

No matter which one you go with, have multiples to swap out as they get moist. In the Jeep I have my custom cloth one, a disposable fabric-like industrial particulate mask, and a disposable N95. I gravitate to my custom cloth simply for fit (I have a huge head). I can't say any are generally better than the other.

LOL. Dude, remember he's the sarcasm and trolling master. Don't take it seriously, it's your kid's life.

I've been using a cloth one made specifically for me, I like it quite a bit. Before that I was using disposable N95. Note you can wear the N95 for much longer than stated and still be effective; that rating is for protection from particulates that fill it up. The virus particles will not stay around. Bottom line is make yourself comfortable, any mask is going to give you a huge reduction in dosage and risk.
