    I usually ride in jeans, with chaps if cooler...today I road in sweat pants and chaps and I noticed they were considerably more comfortable than my usual jeans...ya if know all about protection...anyone else do this? I was thinking I might do this for long trips since my waist and jeans are constantly at odds......one more thing...not one mention of one piece riding suit like an AeroStitch Roadcrafter.

    If you wanna replace both lights and want BRIGHT lights check out PAR 36 LED work lights...down side is big $$$$

    All I could find are 2357 NA and once you cut the pin off, I found that they don't flash, still looking for 2357A

    Ok so the bottom of my shock looks oily, still holds air, sounds like a goose when you push down, doesn't bounce when you you push down, on a 2005 RSTD set up for solo riding, with 60k kms, do I need I a new shock? I would diffinately go with aftermarket, really have no need for air IMO

    Ok with both Trucklite Par 36 LED lights installed using P Clamps mounted to the existing turn signal bar the turn signal lights are pretty much invisible when flashing at night...OEM turn signal bulbs...need turn bulbs to be MUCH brighter...suggestions?

    So install was piece of cake, everything fits well into headlight shell. I had the driving lights (kuraykn/Trucklite) wired to the low beam side but now they are on all the time which makes for REALLY bright high beams...not sure why this is happening but I did plug in the small two pin plug which the instructions said not required...unsure of this will have any effect. The lights I got were on sale but are 55w instead of 35w, don't think I saved any alternator output although the LEDs are a big reduction over normal driving lights

    If I had to do it over I would go to the Grote Par 36 LED bulbs, more lumens with replaceable lens than Kuryakyn/Trucklite LED IF you want the "classic" look driving light look....if not there are lots of smaller LED bullet style like http://canadiancruisercustomizing.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2

    The lights talked about are very good but these ones have replaceable lenses which started me down this road since I got a rock in the lens of the sealed beams that I had installed http://www.grote.com/product.php?product_number=63821-5 Not sure how they compare but here in Canada they seem available , hell they had them in my small town but they have different LED count/lens pattern so not a mix and match IMO.

    Is there a hot wire in the turn signal switch that would trigger LED lights mounted to the mirrors?

    Hahaha...yep got a HID coming from Canadian Cruiser

    Just a heads up about these lights, they are sold as each not as a pair as per my order and discussion with CustomCruiser, they advertised as plural ie lampS, when I questioned them I was assured the $100 price was for two...opened the package today and found one....yea they made a mistake, pisses me off `cause I would have ordered two if I knew, now back ordered for a week Soooooo I have a cyclops looking RSTD, see dramatic difference in the picture below...

    I like the rooted Nook concept...it really turned a lot of folks on to a 7" Android tablet...I mean ereader Whether B&N is keen about that remains to be seen.....the Amazon tablet may be the one to watch out for Apple!

    I would personally stay away from anything RIM makes at this point in time....my god the Playbook doesn't even come with a native email app.....they had a good idea but failed to implement, there is talk today of Blackberry hacking prices to move unsold inventory much like HP did but not likely to the $100.00 point that made the HP tablet the underground success....hell I even tried to buy one and I bleed Apple white

    iPads just work....'Nuff said! I buy all my Apple stuff refurbished, same warranty as new and usually save a hundred or more...never had a problem...refurbed iPads come with new batteries, latest updates and retail boxes so.......

    Thinking my 2005 will last longer than my legs can hold it up for

    A good write up of these lights here http://forums.delphiforums.com/vrider/messages/?start=Start+Reading+%3E%3E

    Still running the HID? Of course the batwing hides it all now...happy with the light output, night riding etc?
  23. geep
    Were you able to hid all the HID electrics in the headlight shell or did you have to mount ballast/igniter externally? I have a RSTD that I want to install this HID system but am curious if I am going to have "boxes" hanging around?

    Hahaha...i have been retired for over a year...getting bored but can't seem to find work in the busiest part of NA (Baken oil field)...... Might have something to do with the objectives part of my resume....part time work only, Tuesday thru Thursday
