I am going to include my turn signals (well, attempt to, lol) in my wire mesh mod on my fairings. Personally I do not like the lines of the 06 cat turn signals. I think they are too "bulbous" and bulky. Anyway, while installing the center stand today and changing the oil, I decided to "attack" my turn signals. I had to attack them because a previous owner glued them to the housing. Thank God for hammers.
I cut some aquarium siphon plastic to serve as an inner wind and rain shield over the bulb. Could have figured out a way to make it cleaner, but it will be obscured by the screen covering and I am limited on time, patience, and resources. I am going to play around with different meshes and screens to see which one will be best to shape (mold) it to cover the opening.
I will post pics when I do the mod after my fairings are painted.
I had to ride the bike up onto a large garden paver (brick) in order to get the front end high enough to enable me to engage the center stand. Take a look at the pics of how low this bike is. I measured the distance from the dust boots to the tree and it was only 2.25"
Look at the picture of the fender showing the damage from where it was making contact. This bike was spilled and I am wondering if it was after this lowering occurred. My stock tree/bar riser is on its way so hopefully I will get her back to stock height soon.
I bought a valve stem tool to see if I could tighten up the insert to stop the leak (if it is even leaking from this place). If it does not work, I will be removing my rim on Thursday and taking it to my buddy's garage to find out where I'm losing air from (25 psi over night).
