The connie 14 was definately an possibility but it has recall issues and (in Canada) a used option doesn't exist yet. a buddy bought one down in florida and had to take it back to the u.s. for service (won't honour the warranty here).
Did you get a fitted sheepskin or the "whole sheep", and how was that? it was snowing here this morning and I haven't tried my new (fitted) sheepskin yet.
Yes, lights built into the removable saddlebags (had them on my versys - waterproof screw apart connectors took 2 seconds to undo - worked great and installed them myself in the givi v35). Added a lot of visibility for the cagers and the leds took no power to run
Possible reasons for a wobble:
low front tire pressure (keep it at 39, check when cold)
weight unbalanced (too much at the back - no offence to any passengers...)
mismatched tires
using Avon tires? Switch to PR2's!
good luck
Our group signals are similar to the early link - we use our feet rather than hands for indicating hazards and since one of our (only 4) rules is: "Be nice always", we don't usually use the last signal. Also, tapping your head usually means you are "tapping out of the ride". Ride safe
Driving lights (I know, there's aftermarket...) that are already hardwired (maybe built in) - and supplementary turn signals/driving lights in the back of the saddlebags (led of course). Visibility is key.
My stealer wants 5 hours labour to check the valves and more if shims are needed. He says the cam chain will need to be cut if shims need to be changed. (I don't wrench them, I just ride them).
