    I am definately going to order the SoCalMotoGear amber LEDs to complete the look.

    Hey Terry, I love my smoked lenses too. After I installed the smoked lenses, I initially ordered amber incandescent bulbs. I didn't care for the lack of brightness and the look of the amber bulb through the lens. Then I ordered amber LED bulbs from SoCalMotoGear. When I received the amber LED bulbs, they were only for the rear turn signals (two prong)...not the front turn signal type (running light and turn signal...four prong). So the bulb would only work as a turn signal, running light didn't work. SoCalMotoGear does sell a front amber LED bulb, but it is not on their website and it would take a couple of weeks to arrive because they would have to order it. They do have the white/amber switchback led bulbs, which I'm using now and sent back the two prong amber LED bulbs. The white/amber switchback is white while riding and turns amber when the turn signal is applied. It provides more light and are actually quite nice. And your bike doesn't look like you have two pumpkins when your riding.

    Installed Fog light fillers

    I installed fog light fillers to close the gap between the round Honda LED fog lights and the square housing. I also installed lens covers to protect the fog lights from damage/debris.

    Actually, this works perfect for me then. I prefer not to have any run lights in the signals, only amber when signaling. I have plenty of light up front with the 2 headlights and 2 fog lights (which I always leave on).

    Thanks!

    Installed a rear CT.

    My first C.T. Put a Michelin Primacy Alpine Pa3 Zero Pressure on. Currently running 34 psi. From Tire Rack it was about $175 to my door, $10 to mount. I have 11,650 miles on Super Bike and the tire was ready to retire.

    I made a short run for gas and a quick spin on the highway; 30 miles. My first try using Dana Beads as well, used 3 oz and it seems to be balanced fine. The only difference I noticed so far is a slight bit more effort needed for low speed lean. I had no trouble dragging a peg.... more miles need to evaluate but my first impression is I'm glad I made the change.

    Thanks! I am really happy with the way it turned out. I had sent Neil an old school Batman logo and asked him to make replacement badges for the F6B and this is what he came up with. I was originally wanting a red background to match my super fast red F6B , but Neil said he didn't do colors although I'd be able to paint the badges if I wanted too. When the badges arrived I loved the look as is and just decided to install them the way they are. I think it's a great contrast with the red/black.

    Living in Scotland, isn't rain gear an every day wear item? I would think you'd be used to it. Is it not worth the risk?
