Hey, Wavex--did you run the resistors or the auxiliary flasher unit with your signals, or was it even necessary?

Nope, I like my signals to flash quickly

Rizoma actually recommends you let them flash faster, it is not illegal and can only improve your conspicuity.

So are the tracks or the zeros brighter? BTW, I just checked out your wreck pics. Glad to hear your ok. Good luck with the new bike!

They are both VERY bright... much brighter than stock and any other led turn signals I have seen. I wouldn`t use the Zeros for the front though, their design fits the back much better (and vice versa for the Tracks).

Thanks... the crash was a bitch but at least now I have lots of things to do to the bike again

Looking good David. I'm keeping an eye out on this thread. Hopefully you'll be done in time for the next group ride

I'll definitely be following this thread! I plan on going naked over the winter and this is gonna really ease the frustrations of trying to figure it out on my own!

WAVEX - can you post the handlebar size for the mirror mounts? I'm guessing it's the 7/8 inch?

7/8" indeed. Hopefully I get my headlight this week, so I can make it all happen this wkd... I already have the tank scheduled for paint on Saturday

Tank is done: Black and shiny!

Still waiting for the headlight + Puig Belly pan + TCP Seat Cowl....... hopefully they all get here this week. It looks quite disgusting right now, the whole bike is black with a blue front fairing

More news soon.

Still no freaking headlight... I am a little pissed off since it`s been 3 weeks since it was shipped...

Anyway, I got the Puig Belly Pan today from England (and yes it is raining today in Southern Cali... 1st time in months!):

Yeah I hear you... I was thinking about getting some rain pants, but I`d use them like once a year so I`ve been putting it off

Modding is coming along yes once I get the headlight, I`ll pretty much be done... (ya right)

How long did it take to get that belly pan from Puig? Looks good on your bike.

Thanks, it took me three weeks, because I ended up asking them to ship it to a friend of mine in the UK... and he forwarded it to me... it was 84pounds ($175 USD) for the bellypan and they were asking for 65pounds ($135 USD) for shipping to the US!!! So instead my friend took care of it (through his company) for free and shipping inside the UK was like 5 pounds.

I have the say the prices are really reasonable considering the quality of the Puig Bellypan... compared to the Power Bronze I had before it's night and day... much much better. And I prefer the design by far as well....
