I'm glad to see you got the valves done. It's cake working on these compared to other bigger bikes. All RE's in history have been designed for owner maintenance and repair. My Model G is an absolute joy to wrench on. Nothing is hidden.

That's a smokin' deal on the blinker package.
Doing the valves on the Shotgun is a nice couple hours hanging out. Doing the valves on my VFR was akin to using the force after taking the entire bike apart.

I also love how comprehensive that little tool kit is. It's a feeler guage set, a couple of sockets, a ratchet, and extension away from being able to do almost every basic maintenance task on the bike.

Those LED flashers are nice and bright, but they are definitely cheap plastic. The 4 pin relay is the real bargain as it's hard to find on its own. Eventually I may go with a set of Rizoma or Motogadget signals, and at least now I have the right relay for them.
