[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 220836, member: 4617"] Worked on the rear of the bike. Got the mud flap rewired, and installed. Replaced the light bulbs with LEDs, brighter. Have the mud flap on its own circuit, lots of space on the new fuse block. Replacing the 1157 light bulbs as well. Will be ordering some resistors for the light and signal circuits. Should be able to splice in just about anywhere because it is the circuit load that is in question.. Had this issue with the tail lights. Replaced one LED light bulb with a normal one, dash indication went away. Did a compression test yesterday, engine stone cold, all plugs out and throttle wide open for each cylinder. 160 psi across the board, should be more when engine is operating. Sneak preview from rear, lights out on left saddlebag, installing new LED bulbs:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Progress 6.jpg"]21311._xfImport[/ATTACH] Have been looking for new emblems. Have found the ones used on the front fairing, and the side covers - new. The saddlebag emblems are not that intricate so should be able to make these look very good. The front fender emblem is going to be a bit tricky as is the one on the rear trunk lid - both are quite intricate. Will keep looking for the ones I cannot source at this time. Thinking the cost of the emblem versus the time and effort to try to make an emblem look good is value. Never know when emblems will be available. [/QUOTE]
