Uh, so trailering the VStrom would be a reeeeely bad idea, I guess? Glenn

This isn't much help to you now, but I never use glue on grips, partly because of what happened to you. I make sure the grips and bars are really clean (acetone or similar), and then wet the grips and bars with more acetone. Slide the grips on while everything is wet, and wait for the solvent to dry. It would probably work with water if you can wait a day or two for it to dry. To remove, I stick that little red tube from WD40 in as far as I can and spritz in a few places. If you can get a small screwdriver between the grip and the bar, that may work for you now. Glenn

Ditto. I've just completed modifying a cheep eBay PWM controller to give me continuously variable heat without wasting watts. Those resistor controlled heaters just waste power in the resistor, and its not like we've got lots to spare. I took pics along the way, and I'll try to get a 'how-to' up. Glenn

Clever... I usually use an egg carton - one depression per fastener size. I didn't know Princess Auto did those magnets as well. Closer than Lee Valley and prolly cheaper. Glenn

Where do they attach? I'm guessing the top uses the same motor mount as Radar's sliders, but where's the bottom mount going? Glenn

Hi Larry, Are yours tranparent under the paint? I'd sort of assumed the paint was a finish coat on opaque plastic. If it's transparent under there I may do some polishing on mine... Glenn

No, but now you've got me thinking... Nice work. Visibility is always good. Glenn

OK, I haven't seen anybody address the important thing: Is your boss hiring??? Glenn

Don't you mean GR8 PL8??

That's the way I like to do it - the first cut at something is just there to let me know what I overlooked... Kewl stuff. Keep at it, and let us know how it goes. PS: I'm curious about your handle. What sort of artwork? Glenn
