We'll see, but to be honest, I wouldn't bet a nickle on this game either way. I think the team that wins will be the one that is the least off its "A" game, and LSU hasn't been on its "A" game since VT in September. Don't get me started. LSU is great on talent, short on discipline.


Keep on DREAMIN LSU is not going to have a chance against OSU..............

For those of you that have the key fob security system and would like to add a siren or wire your bikes horn into the system here is what i did.

I picked up two 5 prong relays at the auto parts store. Under the fairing I wired up by the diagram I attached. I know this drawing looks busy but it is really not that bad. I could have used one relay and depended on horn power from the security system but I didn't know if it would supply enough current over time and not ruin the security system. With the second relay I am able to pull 12 volts to the horn. If you do not want to use your horn you can wire into a siren of your choice instead of splicing into the horn power wire.

Total cost less than $9.00.

Well, I have a standard. The original plate bracket was bolted to the grab rail above the tailight. It looks like this.
