What's really weird is that it IS working where he linked it in his other post:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8951&p=107340#p107340
Lets see if it's something he's doing in the link. Here's my attempt to put it in here:
The folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o6muoip8piwc ... 7PcZa?dl=0
And, a single photo:
Edit: Interesting. So, my link to the folder appears (to me) to work fine, but the single image does not

Okay.
So, I don't know what is going wrong with the links to the folder for you, but I did figure out how to post the image. If you go to the image on your dropbox site, you can't use the url at the top of the page, but, if you right click on that image and choose "view original," then it takes you to the original image. Right click on that image, and choose "Copy Image Location." Paste that here using the "Img" button above and it works. The downside is that your original image is huge, so it looks ridiculous here. I've shown an example below. To see the whole image below, one must right click on this image and choose "View Image," and then you get the whole pic filling the screen. The bike definitely looks in need of more than a bit of TLC.

Looks like dropbox just doesn't have the bells and whistles that lets one share pictures using built-in "hot linking". IIRC other sites like flickr, smugmug, have those kinds of features.

It didn't come from the factory like that. I just wish that it had occurred to me to take a few photos when they were new.
The wiring in the headlight shell is about standard for any bike that is a few years old. We were amazed at just how quickly somebody would go in and really screw it up.
