Just wait till you accidentally hit it going for the turn signal button. BTDT. I have done the opposite. I've very forcefully and angrily mashed my turn signal at somebody so hard that I had a bruise on my thumb. I showed them! I BLINKED at 'em! Link to comment

Computerbob Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just a quick trip with the wife to have a sandwich: 8 hours and 371 miles later she says, "How many hours was that?" I say, "About 8..." and she replies, "Make it 1 hour less next time." I"m not sure if she meant, "Go faster." or "Plan a shorter route." I'll do experiments and update you all with the results.

Computerbob Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Added a Centech AP-2 fuse block to the GS today. Rewired pretty much every farkle on the bike to go through it. Now I don't have to remember to always turn off the GPS and the aux lights since they'll turn off by themselves with the key. VERY happy. Only tested in the garage, though. No time to road test it as it's time to BBQ with the wife on the back porch. I'll have to come up with an excuse to leave the house tomorrow. Link to comment
