As we get older and update our toys we tend to take things for granted. Now I, for one, did when I bought the 1100 this past June.<br />
<br />
Never thought about 4-way flashers for emergency or PGR use, that maybe the headlight wasn't as bright as the one on the Shadow trike or that the rinky-dinky fog/driving lights on the forks would not light up the insides of a matchbox. It took a "short" in my taillights and instrument cluster to wake me up. <img src="images/smilies/AGGGH.gif" border="0" alt="" title="AGGHH" class="inlineimg" /><br />
<br />
I put in 4-ways flashers for under $14. That's for the cost of some wire and to upgrade the bike's flasher since it was the original one and would only just barely flicker. Kind of like some the old guys I know on this board.<br />
<br />
The new driving lights (now mounted on the engine guard) when coupled with the high intensity bulb in the headlight enable this old "blind as a bat" man see potholes and deer practicially miles away.<img src="images/smilies/thumbup.gif" border="0" alt="" title="ThumbUp" class="inlineimg" /><br />
<br />
And, I now have taillights and can read the instrument cluster at night.<br />
<br />
Life is good when you stop to smell the roses and do some upgrades.<img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" class="inlineimg" />
