Welcome! Excellent bike. Frankly, I think the condom mirrors look better, as long as they're in good shape.

LED light strips could actually be useful. Not as a cosmetic item, but as a light source for emergency troubleshooting/maintenance. In that role, they'd put little to no drain on the battery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the effort you have made over the years. VFRD is by far the best VFR community I've been involved with, both in the technical knowledge and the member's willingness to help. Much of that rests on your shoulders, Miguel. If thtanner and others are able to keep the site going, that'd be great, but 21 years is an admirable run. I'm also glad that you are back on a bike, even if it isn't a VFR. Whatever the future hold for VFRD, know that we are all better for having been a part of it. Aloha and God bless

Just out of curiosity, I looked up Dan Dreisbach, as the link to Naked Sculptures no longer works. The new website: https://hammersandwelders.com/ Whether he still has the jig for the underseat Y-pipe is unknown, but JZH's pipe and underseat tray are proudly displayed: https://hammersandwelders.com/custom-cars-and-bike-parts.php

I'd looked briefly at replacing the single filament socket with a dual filament version. The two main concerns: Finding the proper socket for the bulb. The locking bulb socket that Emgo uses looks pretty generic, so there's a pretty good chance you could find a replacement piece that was made for a dual filament bulb and would lock properly in the lens. The wiring is a more difficult hurdle. The passageway that runs through the stalk of the mirror and the hole that DB drilled through the large Phillips-head screw would both have to be enlarged to allow for a third wire. That would involve a complete dis-assembly of the mirror and make a very labor-intensive process even more so. All in all, I think that my relay scenario involves the least amount of work. After soldering the wire leads coming off the relay, those connections could be covered with heat-shrink tubing and the relay itself could be attached to the inside of the front fairing with double-stick tape somewhere near the existing turn signal lights. You would want to terminate the leads from the mirrors with the same sort of 2-conductor disconnects used elsewhere on the bike to allow the mirrors to be removed.
