Pretty sweet! Yeah, the RV-7 has been a fun process so far, but work has really slowed almost to a stop now that I have 2 young children at home. I hope that my son will help me finish it when he's old enough ��
Re: the Speaker headlight. One thing to watch for, don't test it with a battery tender connected. I've used Deltran battery tenders forever and love them, but *at least mine* caused the Evo II on my '15 SG to flicker with the tender connected. Drove me crazy for a week! Assumption is the tender gave the Evo a slight over-volt condition.
But once I figured that out, all was well. I've got 6500 error-free, well-lit miles on mine now. Love it!!
