wrenching on a rainy day...

[DblTrbl]

Last weekend the weather was so so... so I decided to put my LED lights I took off my RSTD before trading it on the 1100 V Star Classic. This was my first time installing them myself. Pretty easy!! They worse part was making sure I could route the wires to avoid moving parts and extreme heat. On the way to work tonight I hear some guy yelling so I looked around....he was standing at the gas station across the intersection and yelling..."I love the lights, great looking bike"....gotta make you feel good when you hear that.

With the success of the above install, I decided to order a new (bigger) set for my trike. The parts have been ordered and shipped. I hope to receive them before our next bout with wet weather and before Americade... Bought a set thru Joe Florida.

I bought the 648 light set and added an 8' strip (172 lights). I also upgraded controllers so I could have the "brake mode". With the brake mode, no matter what pattern or cycle you are running your LED lights, as soon as you apply the brakes, every LED light turns red....once brakes are released, the lights go back to the pattern/cycle they were programmed to.

YES, YES....I know, I know...PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES....

as soon as I have them installed I will post pics. Might even get a couple of the install in progress.

I think you'll like the Joe Florida lights. Have the trike kit on my Road Star. Installation is a breeze and the y look great.

Wet and rainy here today.

I need to change the bushing in the trike's clutch lever and today might just be a good day to do it. I also have a light kit for the F6B that needs installing.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa yea! Rainy days are wonderful , this is when I can get into the garage, relax, give my baby a complete wax job, check tire pressures, I was also going to say,

"repair anything that need fixing" , but it's a Goldwing, so that doesn't have to happen too often... all without "that" feeling that I should be out riding instead....:clapping::clapping::clapping:

I agree, going to snow this evening, turn up the heat in the garage, put the Daytona race on the radio, and polish some aluminum, wax the wheels, etc... won't have time for all that cleaning when spring comes around!
