[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1286947, member: 8054"] Once you pull and clean the connections at each horn, I'd suggest gooping dielectric grease in and on the connector before plugging it back in again. This will seal the connection from water intrusion. Trust me - I ride in the rain constantly here in Seattle and the horns continue to work. Oh yea, I have a Stebel Nautilus horn IN ADDITION to a set of PIAA slimline horns. I love having the opportunity to honk all those together! :evil: I get the same mileage on my '07 with winter gas and the large Vstream shield installed. I ride much like you, except I never shift that low and often approach redline before shifting. Does your bike perhaps have a Power Commander installed? I have one on mine to clean up the herky jerky OEM fuel map, but the cost is lower fuel mileage. I should note that I got almost 50 mpg once and that was when I was riding with my "new rider" wife on her Honda Shadow and a group of pirates. We were beat off the line by blue haired grandmas and EVERYONE was passing us on the freeway during our ride to the coast. Great mileage yes, but the fun factor for me was in the pits! If I had to ride like that all the time, I'd give up riding! :) [/QUOTE]
