Installed a set of Hyper-Lites to increase braking visibility. They flash 4 times then go solid when the brake is applied. They’re really bright, brighter than the brake light, at least in the garage. Neglected to get a video, but will try to take one in the next couple days.
Dude, still no pictures. Its almost been an hour. Heh

I thought that my gear shift was stuffed today.
Got on the bike to go pick up something and it wouldn't change gears.
I'm thinking about the bearing or is it the heim joints I fixed on the gear lever or maybe the oil level was too low and needed to get warm....

Worked out that I could change gears if I pushed down slightly on the lever before trying to change gears.

Seems that in breaking in new boots, they weren't flexing enough to allow the gear lever to return to a position where it would allow the next great change to occur.

D'OH!!!!

Sure!
Here are some photos of it, simple mount from amazon ($28), I purchased the 12v power wire for it so it can be a simpler install. You need the one specifically for it, found on their website. I also bought the shade as you can see, it helps on bright days. I also got Mint mobile sim card for internet service and for emergencies to have a second line, that way people can also call my bike instead of my cell haha I can answer on the pad and use the same speaker/mic ( Cardo) in my helmet. The device also has accident notification so if you godforbid go down, it'll auto dial the number of your choice. Now I can also connect their TPS kit to it, since the bike lacks one. Anyhow, here are some pics. Let me know if you got any questions.

I has similar aux brake lights on the ST13. They would flash 3 times and the stay on after the 3rd flash. Never did find out what brand they were, but they were the brightest lights I've ever seen.

I also had similar lights on my ST1100 but they were steady on, no flash. On my ST1300 I had the brake light that was integral to the Givi box, so never added more.

I remember looking around when I wanted a GPS unit for mine and all I managed to find was the usual Garmin or whatever big name brand, so I got the Garmin.

I think I should probably have asked this forum as that unit looks far superior!

Ok, ok, here’s a pic, I guess I can’t post a video? YouTube link below.

These are the ones I’ve used for about 15 years now. Only ever had to replace one set.

I’ve had people say, when following me, that they’re really annoying. I said that was a good thing because they saw me

Got mine out yesterday for it’s first ride of the year. Last Saturday my old R850GS let me down, after 25years the clutch lever at the gearbox end snapped just heading out of Gawcot near Buckingham. I somehow managed to ride the 30odd miles home wth only one stall at a T junction in Winslow. Managed to get going again and from there got through every junction without stopping. Not something I want to have to do again too soon. Anyway, Saturday I had a closer look at it thinking cable, but it’s not, it’s the lever……bugger. So I’ll be calling motobins later for one of their replacement upgrade stainless steel levers.
And as it was the first I decided I’d better tax the Tenere and use that yesterday for a ride with a mate up towards the Wash. He’s house hunting, so first one in Kettering then across towards Holbeach and home. Frosty start, but quite lovely after Kettering, although heading home was full sun in the eyes stuff. About 200 miles total, and I’m about to go out and give her a wash as there was salt everywhere…..

Hi. This happens when spring #5 does not return the gear selector lever to the middle position.

True, but the fact that he has to actually lift the lever to engage the next gear has me thinking the pivot might be binding.
I thought that as well but, when in my normal boots, no problem.

I could say that it was a big foot problem but I don’t have a big red nose. I might be a little too hairy for humankind but no big nose…

Oh… wait… I do get to say “What have the Romans ever done for us?” But apart from that…

I used Anthony Corcella for my flash. He is a member on this forum. He may be in the vendor section. He goes by AC something. So do a search that way or I can look and give you his phone number to text or his email.
Please share with me his contact too. I need to flash my ECU too
