    FJR, Knight Riders License plate install

    Gen II Mirror spacers

    Making spacers is harder than it looks. A ring needs to be cut for the mirror tab. The counterbore for the mirror stud needs to be the right depth.

    Turn Signal Indicators

    Many of us have trouble seeing the smallish indicator lights and sometimes neglect to turn them off. I do not think Rat Shack has these. I got them from a sign company next door; they come on a string but can be separated. They are wired with the signals under the glove box. They are not...

    Turn Signal Indicators

    I used mounting tape for these super-brite LED's. Can't miss them except in very bright sun. https://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f121/Thu...nt=MOV03040.flv

    Spelling

    Thank you for the explanation Gun. Reading two posts in particular, I do see your point about the irony. I also want to thank my HS English teacher, Old Lady Logsdon, for giving me the skills not to sound (hopefully) ignorant with my grammar. However, no one likes to be scolded, especially...

    double solid lines a suggestion?

    I understood it was the speed limit that was just a suggestion.

    New V-Max

    Rider says 200.1 at the crank. Bike looks way cool and way mean to me.

    Keep the focus

    But you KNOW it was bad engineering that kept that kickstand up!

    possible sources of poor mpg?

    I guess my attempts at humor are too obtuse. If I knew how to link the topic, I would. It was directed to Ponyfool in his reference to getting poor mileage. (Other Bike Related/rode my friend's C14)
