Took the front and rear bumpers off of my 04 classic and removed the rubber part to clean and polish the chrome. Reinstalled them that way and they are still that way. Nice clean nerf bar look and makes cleaning them and the fender area around there a breeze.

Talking about garage door openers, Iam getting a door installed on my now closed in carport,my bro [ lawnmower man] says he bought a kit somewhere that you go into the remote, solder two wires and somehow hook it too your highbeam switch. You come in, hit your high beams, your garage door opens, neat as hell. he is suppose to be looking for the info of where he got the kit, when he finds it, I will put the info on here for anyone interested.

What did you use for a lens?
I've experimented with several LED "bulbs". They all work. Haven't used any additional lens at all and haven't experience any probems, even with thousands of miles in the rain.
I'm still searching for the PERFECT LED; one that doesn't create electro-magnetic interference in the CB band.

Just did the Radio Shack alarm install, one on either side. Works GREAT! Less than $15 total! Best cheap mod to date, and just might save the bike maybe?!!?!?? Prolly not, but I can hope! thanks for the tip! Gotta love this Forum!!!

Fix A Flat Mount under $10!
Hey Guys
I keep a tire plug kit in my bike tool bag just in case and a can of Fix A Flat to help seal and re-inflate the tire on the road if needed. I recently went thru all my tools, cleaned, sorted, and check the status of the tool kit. I had this can of Fix A Flat I was keeping in a saddle bag or the tour pak. I have made a BIG effort to keep our bags all clear of everything so we can have maximum room for traveling this year. So I was looking for a place to stick this can this afternoon and here is what I came up with.
Cost about $6.50, took about a hour total to do. 2 L-brackets and a piece of flat stock riveted across for the can to sit on and strap to. All Simpson Strongtie from Lowe's.....
