    I am very interested in the signal solution as well. Is there a write up anywhere? I love the carbon fiber look on that headlight bucket.

    I got an electronic flasher relay and it works well, it flashes a little slow, but it works. I'll look into something else at some point, but for now it's good.

    It needs a good tune to fix the idle problem. I basically have to leave the choke on a little bit so it doesn't die out. I'm hoping running a few tanks of seafoam will clean things up enough that I can get a rough tune just for the season. I'll be pulling everything apart this fall/winter to do a full cleaning.

    And I'm sure you're all wondering, why didn't you take any close up shots? Well, because it looks like crap up close. I found out on my first ride that my gas cap leaks a good amount and it ruined my fresh(still not totally dry) paint job. I ordered a new one from chacal. When it comes in, I'll put it on, repaint, then take some better pics.

    Are those your brake lights in the back of the seat? I've seen it all now.

    Haha no, I routed two bulb sockets where I cut the frame. They're IN the frame, just UNDER the seat.

    Boston,
    Yes I too have light inside the rear frame rails as you do, but I also have a tail light on my bike. Are those actually your tail lights?

    Ah, yes they are. Tail, stop and turn via a trailer light converter. Works very well might I add. I just need to wire up a light for the license plate so I can ride it at night. :oops:

    They should have them at your local Yamaha shop.
