    Expensive week!

    So my H7 LEDs arrived yesterday and as I was putting the bike on the centerstand, I noticed it was hard to push. After getting it on the stand, I discovered a very low rear tire. I started spinning the tire around and found a piece of metal and that is when I noticed it probably needs replacing anyway after 10,000 miles. However, the front looks good.

    So then I remember the deals on eBay from the dealers converting to trikes so I go looking. There is one from a dealer that wanted $350 plus $25 to ship and the tire was slightly used, but it was the black for the B. After getting frustrated and giving up with him, I finally ordered one from the same dealer I got my center stand from--- NEW for $270 shipped. It is the shiney silver Gold wing wheel, but I can always use my trusty PlastiDip. Then I got to thinking that now would be a great time to order my Centramatic Wheel Balancer that I have been wanting to install, so I pulled up my Wingstuff account----then I remembered I need to order some grommets for some of my tupperware.

    So yea, between the lights, wheel, tire, and balancers ---oh yea,--there was the taxes and registration I did Monday for about $150----it has been a bit of an expensive week. The $5 grommets ain't a big deal.

    So tell me about the H 7 led, are they the showchromes or other. Do they work well? Where did you get them? Do they have to be modded with a spacer?
