    I don’t have experience with them, but I’d say if you bought something new, and they don’t look brand new, I’d send ‘em back. You paid for new you should get new and most companies are pretty good to work with when stuff like that happens.

    The wiring to the LED's is fine, but it would be wise to put a heavier gauge wire from the battery to the circuit breaker and the breaker to the fuse block. 8 ga would be good for up to about 100 amps at that short of a run, but I'd go 6 ga and then never worry about it. Cost is minimal. You really want that to be capable of handling everything that could possibly be wired to the fuse block. Also a fuse at the battery terminal is an added safety factor. Not 100% necessary but a good safety feature.

    I envy you. I'd give a fortune to be at either the Florida or A&M game, both are going to be brutal for our opponents in the Valley given the grudge factor. Have fun!

    Not a big NASCAR guy, but apparently this correlates to being either a Bammer or a Wareagle? (Can't be both....lol)

    If you're not happy with them call their customer help line. They're pretty good about standing behind their products. Letting them know you're a TW member not a bad idea either. I had an issue with a Bugflector for my '11 that was damaged in shipping and they took care of it immediately. Didn't cost me a cent for a replacement and no return required.

    I can't remember the model I got when I got mine, but it is a tri fold, and does not leak. I picked it because the hinges were not exposed to the elements and sealed all the way around. I'll pm you later when I can take a pic (on the bike today!).

    BHLM by @no vtec 4me. Solid work and great customer service- if you’re thinking about doing this you should give his product a look. I went with the basic BHLM but he has some great options for side marker, retrofit, and other upgrades.
    Before and after:

    I did order that same plate holder. What kind of lights would sit well on it that would also be simple plug and play?
    For a rookie

    If they replace them and they still have blemishes from packaging you could try applying some rubbing compound with a finger tip and then buffing out with a microfiber cloth. 3M’s scratch remover would probably do the trick! Worth a shot. :thumbsup:

    True. He changed his user name from one to the other and was giving him a hard time. :D
