Still here and about 20 minutes away from a ride to get the Sunday paper and take the long way home. Have finished the winter project, an old timer Wixom Ranger fairing to go with the large plastic bags, Looks like a big single police bike with the fairing, single saddle, Honda 90 package rack and large white bag, and full front fender. With all the white and a 96 yellow bike and a yellow Joe Rocket jacket I've increased my on road visibility greatly. Had hopes the fairing would cut down the wind pressure on the arthritic shoulders, but it only helped some. Was a fun project.
For those of you who like brighter lights, JCWhitney is selling a halogen bulb 1157 rated at 30 watts turn, 8 watts running. Works great in the front. I'm also using a Kisan Tech flashing rear brake light, it starts flashing and decays to a solid on, also halogen so brighter. Also looking at mirror mounted LED additional turn signals. tried the ones in the mirrors, but the runnning light portion was the upper part on one side and the lower on the otherm, plus the mirrors were very small. Lots more of the mirror mounted stuff coming out this spring. Hoping to get some miles in Idaho in later this spring with my brother and brother- in-law. Quality time you know, also thinking real serious about the FSSNOC meet in Wyoming in June. Later, Max
