It looks like it was a beautiful day for a ride. Thanks for posting the great photos.
 Your blue RX3 looks great.  I see you ordered a lot of nice options with the bike.CSC Skid Plate CSC Hand Guards Auxiliary Lighting Shinko Tires Dashboard Power Outlets What tank bag did you install?

Had to modify the clamps a bit to fit right, but that was easy. These are focused spots, not floods. Spud, I am a tankbagaholic. I have a vast collection. This one is a medium Tourmaster and is kinda old and faded, but will work for now. |

Thanks for the clarification on the LED spotlights.
They sound like an excellent value. Can you post a link to a vendor who sells them?If you have time, please post a new thread on the LED spotlights, and tell us how you modified the clamps, and how you chose to hook up the wiring.

From recent explorations of Ohio's backroads:
don't need no stinking sticker   All the leaves are brown...and the sky is gray. Turkey Ridge Road  new windscreen. MUCH better than stock  Middle of nowhere, no body of water in sight, and this guy builds a lighthouse in his front yard  stopped to eat dinner. Nice to see some green still  sun goin down

I couldn't help but chuckle... your quote about the leaves being brown and sky being grey reminded me of the song by the Mommas and the Papas, "California Dreaming", except you're in Ohio. (Sigh, I am that old...) Bike is looking great! And I can't wait to get the windshield and try it out for myself as well. I will want the auxiliary lights like you have. Riding at night on dark streets, I found that I was wanting for more light, especially off to the sides. (I wish the same in my car also.) |

Yes...I am that old as well (Michelle was a FOX back then) I packed what has become my standard late-in-day road meal 3 pc KFC dinner Can of decent beer (gasp!...he rides a MOTORCYCLE after drinking a beer!..Heaven forbid!) bag of BBQ pork rinds No insulation in the box, but that is easily solved by going to Walmart and buying a cheapo backpack/cooler. By the way, the spots I am using (a few others here have them) throw out enough light to ride with at night. If you move your switch between low and high you can turn the main headlight off. If pointed correctly these suckers DO throw a great pattern when joined. I have them nearly merged together on the road right at the lower edge of my high beams. No flashes from cars yet as they are not pointed far enough downrange. You could easily point the right side off to the side of the road to illuminate deer's eyes. |

I too enjoyed the photos
, beautiful country, that's one thing we don't have here, the changing of the colors... just, always "multiple shades of green"  I need to get some pic's posted of my Cree spot lights too. I mounted mine inside the crash bar frame in an attempt to protect them for the eventual drop.
