First of thanks to NorthernDave for the part number. I was able to get the Rear Carrier Base Plate from David Silver Spares, it arrived a couple days ago. Now I have another problem, the mounting hardware to attach the Rear Carrier Base to the rack was not inlcuded with the base. Does anyone know how to go about getting the mounting hardware to secure the base plate to the rear rack? I am leaving on a trip in a week and really would like to get the plate mounted. Any ideas where to get or borrow the hardware would be appreciated. RingO

NorthernVFRDave, Thanks for the assist. RingO

I am looking for the mounting plate which is sold with the OEM Sport Tour Top Case. This is the plate which attaches to the Trunk Mount Bracket which the Top Case sits on. If anyone knows the part number for it or know where I can find one I would be appreciative. The plate in the picture below is exactly what I am looking for. RingO

I purchased the Darth Bling mirrors way, way back and have never installed them. I am really not sure on how to do this install and have not found the instructions anywhere. Does anyone have the instructions on wiriing these up or any one in the Seattle area who has done this willing to lend a hand. Thanks, RingO

Keithbob, On the date you mentioned for the ceremony is August 31st. This is a Sunday not Saturday. Is the memorial on Saturday the 30th or Sunday the 31st of August? I never meet Rich, but will try and attend. Thanks, RingO

Okay, time to query the vast knowledge of all VFRD members!!! I need to see if I might have made an error when installing my fuse block or is I am just paranoid. The bike is a 2004 VFR with ABS. Here is what I did: Installed a Centec AP-1 Fuse Block, which is hard wired to the batter via a relay and inline fuse. The relay is also spliced into the pos/neg wires of the license plate light and provides the power to the fuse block. When I first attached the positive cable to the battery, stupid me used a unproted socket and hit the gas tank, which blew the 30 amp in line fuse (replaced fuse). Installed a Powerlet Steering Head kit for power to my tank bag. This is wired, negative lead to a bolt on the left side of the bike near the radiator, I believe this is one of the main ground points. The positive lead is wired to one of the fuseblock circuits. Everything is wired up and looks great, will try and get pictures. I double checked all cables to make sure positive was to positive and negative to negative. Next I turned over the key and to my amazement everything came on, all the lights, even the license plate light, no sparks or flames so far..... I then turn the key over and this is where I become concerned. When I start the bike, with the seat off, I hear what sounds like a pop right before the bike kicks over. Is this pop sound normal, I cannot recall if it was there before. The bike starts right up and runs fine. The fuseblock is functioning, I have power to my tank bag. Any thoughts, ideas. I am getting ready for a five day ride and do not want issues on the road..... Thanks, RingO :pissed:

Powerlet VFR Steering Head Kit Ken, The above link might be just what you are looking for. I just purchased this kit and will now be able to supply 12 volt power to my tank bag, have a plug I can connect to. Thought this might help. RingO

Chev, Maybe this link on the Arai America's web will help. http://www.araiamericas.com/support.asp?pa...ort/techman.asp RingO

My Powerlet setup on my tank bag works great. I charge my cell/ipod and also run power to my GPS. Hey baileyrock you looking to get your powerlet setup off your hands? RINGO
