I soldered the plug to the light and heat shrinked the wires. You must get the polarity right.

Replaced Kenda rear tyre that had just reached its wear-depth markers after just over 20k kms. Fronts still have heaps to go. Running fronts at 16 psi and rear at 22 psi. Mostly riding vigorously in hinterland and hill on Qld 2nd class roads. Very happy with this. Great bike, 2020 F3L.
I installed the tri-axis adjustable handlebars on my Spyder today with the help of my buddy Mike. It was an all day adventure
but with the help of Finless Bob videos and the BRP online instructions we were able to get it done. They didn't say anything
about the GPS on my 2017 RTL so had to figure that one out myself. I did buy the new mount for the GPS for the new tri-axis
bars. I think it turned out great even if I do say so myself. Lol

Reason: Added picture
Touch up painting on Sonya's brother's 2018 F3 Limited. The left rear saddlebag door had a couple of dings, 1/8" by 1/2" through to the base plastic on the rear top section. His wife was going to touch these up with nail polish. I volunteered to paint the affected spots for him having finished last year a complete repaint of my ex-1500 Pearl Glacier White - over 100 pieces when fully disassembled and my '85 1200 Limited Edition two tone with pinstripe.
Figured this was going to be an easy fix, not. Would have been easier doing the complete door. The other issue is there is a paint code, but there is no formulation for it. Went through four iterations with my paint guy for the base colour. The 2018 F3 Limited is a pearl white; however, it has a beige/cream undertone, unlike my ex-1500 Pearl Glacier White that is a white. The initial pearl formulation was good, but would go a shade, shade and a half lighter on the final base colour formulation for future fixes.
My paint guy was very good. Only paid for one base colour and the changes were free. 1/2 pint of paint goes a long way using spray guns.
I've attached a few pictures to support.
Cheers

installed the SpyderPops Mirror/Side Vent Turn Signal Combo today. Happy with the results, but have a few of comments.
1. Once you break the seal on the promoter apply to both sides immediately. I installed one side then went to do the other and the promoter was dried out and couldn't use on the second side.
2. The instructions they include tell how to fix hyper flash did not work on my 2018 F3L.
3. The wire the instructions say to use (customer accessory power under left service panel) is only hot when the motor is running. So the use of the hazard flashers does not use the new lights when the motor is off, such as when parked on side of road with motor off.

Last week new windshield from 7jurock 25" , Fantastic service from these folks .
I have purchased many windshields from 7Jurock and always get a good product and good service at a good price. I currently have two of theirs; a 17" and an 18" extra wide. Never paid more than $170 shipped.

I spent most of the morning pulling this out between the latch on my trunk and the inner liner. When I bought this it was from an estate sale and I knew it sat outside for a while, But I didn’t know it was home to a little mouse with a big house.
Well, it wasn't today exactly, but I did finish up fixing a series of electrical problems, some of which I've posted about, plus wrapped up replacing my stock windshield with one from Calsci (see separate lengthy post)
Electrical;
Replaced dying battery
Installed onboard battery maintainers (both bikes) just above battery compartment in frunk
Repaired broken wiring harness that connects to trailer
Replaced both headlights, which inexplicably died at the same time
Repaired, rerouted the power wire feeding my accessory GPS mount on the dashboard (intermittent open in the accessory fuse box)
Installed phone mount and provided it with USB outlet
And, extended the arm on the GPS mount to bring it closer to me.
Changed oil & filter in preparation for our 'Annual Guy Trip'. This year we are headed to the Black Hills, and wherever we decide on our way back. The oil change is easy, but a slow process, as it takes forever for it to drain.

Not if the oil is operating temperature hot.

Well then mine is different because I just got back from an hour long ride. First thing I did was take out the dip stick, then loosen oil filter lid, and then removed drain plug. It dripped pretty good for almost 20 minutes. So in my mind that is a slow process.
