  1. Hmmm, I don't think I've ever worked for Delta... And I'm not much of a mechanic (in the professional sense). +1 on the groceries and good beer. I guess all the relaxed waist lines is the give away.
  2. That kinda sucks. The 5th gen mirror is much nicer than the 6th gen. That is the only offering from Thurn for the 6th gen, and it is ugly...
  3. How difficult is it to wire them? keep in mind i once almost burned my step-dads truck down playing with the wires in the radio :fing02: Bah! Just get 'em and bring it all over to my place. The signal wiring is pretty easy. As an added benefit, when your bike starts to misbehave we can show it my bike, which is in various pieces at the moment for damage inspection. Too bad your stock mirrors won't fit my bike, I could use them...
  4. Both of the those methods are close to what was outlined on this post before the pics went missing. I would ignore the "thin wire" wrapping. It's a pain, and pretty useless. The side-by-side method, which has the virtue of looking easy is deceptivly so. Holding the two wires parallel while working the iron and the solder requires 4 hands. I never have 4 hands available. Do this: Get the heat shrink wrapping. Prepare the two wires to be spliced by stripping and twisting them. Place the shrink wrapping on the wire and slide it out of the way. Place the two stripped ends side by side (like seen in the second method above). Now twist them together. If you had enough wire stripped out, it should hold it's self together. Grab the iron and solder. Heat and wick the solder in to the wire wrap so it gets between the wire twists. Let cool. Slide the wrap over top and heat. I tend to layer vinyl tape over top of the completed splice, but that is personal preferance.
  5. Is this near city(town?) Dunoon Scotland? I only ask because the spelling is close and I was born there. Left when I was very young, so I have no memory of it. I will travel there at some point, but seeing a picture every so often is the best I can hope to do in the near future.

    Deals Gap June 2005

    Sigh... Gotta love a family that rides together. Nice pic. Can't get the wife near my bike. I'll just wait until my son can reach the pegs.
  7. Judging by the drunk gal wandering around the gap store asking for directions to the Harley meet, they were out of beer and wanted more... Had a great time. Great pics.
