and on another note....can the speakers on the fairing take water from a hose when I wash the bike?? I know stupid question....but I never had a bike with speakers on it before...I know it can take rain....but was wondering the pressure and the soaking from a hose...

Thanks!!

if you didn't want to answer the question...then don't post

Just for the record - I quoted your original post above. No mention of not having a manual.

I forgot to read your mind, sorry!

Really? Could you reference the Chapter & Paragraph of the CFR that spells this out?

Spent over 35 years in the business & am not familiar with this, although I did retire in 2008, so it may be something new I'm not aware of. I still follow the industry as much as possible & would like to read up on this.

Thanks.
