Most of us "Zonies" just pop the seat up here in the Desert! I am about 250 miles from there. Surely someone is a lot closer.

New Mission Trailer
At Heart of WA ride Kevin had one of these and I liked it a lot. It came in black so needed to do something to make it look like its part of the bike. You get about 2x the space of a 622. There is about 5" in the lid that's usable too, just need to figure out what will go there and build a holder for it.

The reflective strips are from HF too, I'll put on a few more, when I decide where.

I picked up these rubber mats 12x12 peel & stick (be sure and look that the sticky isn't old) and use them to protect the front of the fender.

I put Tricled modulators on the brake lights but there aren't working yet, got a call into Reggie to see what's wrong.

Thanks to Blueknight I moved my iPod/aux plug from the trunk to the glovebox
This isn't difficult, as usual you have to tear half the bike apart, but we all knows that is needed for anything. I decided to change the oil at the same time.
You unscrew the metal ring that holds the plug in place and push it out the back. A small pair of needle nose will make that easier. Since I had added a dongle and backup sensors in the past, I needed to remove the right speaker pod. I had zip tied the wires all together.
Either way it is taped into the main/big wiring harness on the side of the radio. Be careful not to cut any wires. I removed the passenger backrest too. Take off all of the panels, including the passenger control panel by their seat. There is some foam around the glovebox.
I used a hole saw to take out what I needed. I then used a vari-bit to drill the hole in the side of the glovebox. I would put it somewhere from the middle down to the bottom. The wire is just long enough. Put the metal "nut" back on the plug and you are done.

Blinker modulator for Fender LED lights
I'm sorry that I didn't document this better, but instead of paying $50 for this end result, you can get a $5 auto relay anywhere and accomplish the same thing. Basically you run the fender LED + wire thru the normally closed contacts of the relay. You use a pigtail from the blinker lights on the mirror to "pick" the relay removing power from the fender LEDs. You need to do this on each side.
I found the fender wires when they came off the A arm. IF you only wanted one or two of the lights to blink, you will need to take the fender apart and find the right wires. I just blinked all 3 lights.
I mounted the relays on some frame location, using the screw to attach the ground wire too.

gas door move for RS as mentioned by blueknight911
I hope this is the post you mentioned blueknight911. I found an earlier post with these ebay item numbers. 401050379839, and
192037098313 that you sent me earlier. I have my mechanic on board so I am going to get this ordered today. I was asked by Blueknight911 to post pictures when doing this project. I will do my best. But for now ....this will be on hold until the parts arrive. My thanks to Blueknight's patience in helping me out with this project.

Rick ..... these Pics are for the ...... RT ...... not for the GS / RS ....... His door is much larger than yours will be , and yours will have to have the bolt nubs on the back made a bit shorter than they are now......Also the lock needs to be cut off , but the KEY slot needs to remain so there will be NO HOLE . I'll explain further and see if I can find a Pic of the smaller DOOR ....... Maybe " Camogirl " can post a PIC of Hers !!!!!....... Mike

more on the velcro idea.
Yeah I kinda thought the same thing. It really depends on what floorboards I decide to use. Right now I am using a drop down floorboard from the stock peg. I don't have any pics on my surface pro at the moment, but they are about as big as my boot and 4" below peg, replacing the stock peg. We can fashion, weld and shape about anything so I have a friend making a couple of stirrup steel straps, the shape of my boots. Going to tack them in place giving me just enough room to slide my boot in. I have tried Velcro straps around my boots and thru the peg brackets...that has possibilities, Testing ways that make it safe for me to ride, but independence is important too. Thank you for the additional ideas I forgot to mention but my right leg is basically dead... but sometimes it gets jumpy, that's my MS kicking in, that's why I am looking into ways on dealing with them. We can discuss this another time , ok
