You're welcome.  Glad you got it fixed. 

Maybe you can find someone with a picture of how all that wiring wraps up in the light.  There are a coups little bendy wire clamps that are supposed to be in there to hold things in place.

All finished (other than the wires aren't exactly all tucked into the bucket, but no rain anytime soon, so not going to worry about it)!



So now I have a question about mirrors: I've got some cheap Emgo that look like they're the stock size shape, but I can't adjust them to see anything other than my shoulder (I'm 6'2). Do I need longer mirrors, or is this just the nature of motorcycle mirrors?

Thats the same problem that i had i just got bar end mirrors from asia for cheap. now i accualy put the bar end mirriors on the bars now that i have 06 bars on my 89, i out one right before the bend going to the triple on the left side, i can see right under my shoulder and my side and see people behind me.

I should've mentioned that I already have a bar-end mirror from the PO on the left. It works great, but it's length has caused a few ass-clench moments when lane-sharing; I'd prefer something that doesn't extend the overall width of the bike so much.

as long as you can see ALOT behind and next to ya with those top mounted mirrors.

Me, I had to actually move my friggin head and/or arm out of the way to do so.
and even then I could only see MAYBE half of what bar end mirrors show.

Hey all, its been awhile but my GS has been holding up nicely. While pulling into my driveway today I noticed a puffing like noise from the rear shock. Normal? I swear I've never heard it do that before.
