Thanks trashman :p You can pick up those lights at a trailer supply shop. I forget what I paid for them but it wasn't a whole lot. I did pay a little more for the led type though.
They are hooked up to the running and brake light only...I never did caulk them in so they do leak a little...OK they leak pretty badly. Someday I will address that issue...
 
Yur my hero!!!

Great ride and post! A big thanks for sharing your experience with us!

What kind of grip covers are you using? they look pretty comfy! Also, noticed you have the big lean angle when on the sidestand. A cheap and quik fix is a hockey puck mounted to the sidestand plate. Bigger footprint and easy to mount!:dance

If you don't mind, can you send me a pm on the grip covers, thanks in advance.

Hockey puck huh?..Now you tell me.:brow :D

I could have use that a couple of weeks ago. :doh
