      Monk: I wasn't ignoring you! I just now saw this.

      I modified the bottle myself. I cut it with an Exacto knife using a round rabbit feeder bottle I had lying around for a template. Then I glued a piece of the rabbit water bottle with Crazy Glue, and then trimmed it with the knife. I think it looks almost OEM.

      The sliders saved me a lot of grief and expense once already. I dropped the bike on its side (slow drop), and just got a scuff on the mirror and a bit of rash on the slider. Hope that's the first and last time I do that.

      I went a bit overboard on the Powerlet sockets. I have two switched on the left dash, two unswitched on the right dash, and two below my butt on the left side for heated clothing. I wouldn't install that many if I had it to do over again.

      When it comes to the electrical stuff, I'm at a bit of a loss. I need instructions to follow and wiring diagrams, or I'm doomed. But I've done pretty well so far despite that deficiency. Tightwad's been a big help, too, as well as Jim at Eastern Beaver.

      Yeah, that was a straw. Pretty disgusting. I was just trying to top vfrbear, but that's impossible. He's the funniest sob on the forum!

      I got out riding today for several hours. First time in two weeks - been away weekends on family stuff. I like to ride so much, I'm thinking about an Iron Butt, just for the hell of it.

      Take care!
