Mimo, check again with the dealer. There is going to be a LED available for the nacelle in a month or two. Its already listed in the 2011 P/A supplement.

Drew, be safe on the Vegas trip. Youre running without front turn signals. The NLV cops are idiots, and the NHP has been running blitzes on the 15 lately (so keep the speed at a respectable level)

2006FLST, you might want to think real hard before taking Drew up on his offer. Drew, his wife, Darth Vader, and 1000 cats do a pretty good job of filling up the 1 bedroom...

We always ride at a comfortable clip that is slower than I would choose if it were just me. No worries on speed with the Nomad crew. I might have to see what my 95" can do in the middle of nowhere on the way there, but that is a different story.

So the new battery I got had less of a charge than the one in the bike. I thought that was strange. Thoughts kk6pg?

And guess what, when I get back you can come over and help me do the nacelle and passing lamps after I do the passing lamps yellow! Ol' school baby!

Whats so strange about it?
You replaced a 6 month old battery with a new on, then put the 6 month old battery back in, then replaced that with another new battery. Now thats strange.

And if you want it to really look old school, I can put a couple of 1k/100W resistors in line and all your lights will look yellow

The bougainvillea's looking good, if you think replacing all the pretty purple flowers with blood splatters looks good. I feel like a human pin cushion

Check these out, much more affordable than HD's and less futuristic design:

I wouldn't mind. I still have one trip scheduled for this year. I lost my previous one because of my airline's chapter 11... they kept my flights and my money... just great! ...

Mimo.
