Yeah, I move my head around a lot too. I want to know what's going on around me.

I like to see what's behind me and cover as much of my blind spot as possible. Hard to do with only one mirror. I'm seriously thinking about adding another set or something.

Sorry man, but sometimes that's the only answer there is.

Just swap it out. They don't have any adjustable parts.

I don't think you have a choice. You're going to have to get it naked if you want to play with it.

Foot pegs

I LOVE it! I've been trying to figure out a way to put a set of highway pegs on my bike without having to add the bars. This is perfect! I can have a friend in my club make a mount with a straight bit of pipe sticking out and I can rubber coat it. And if I have him use the right kind of pipe, they will double as crash bars. The bicycle grips are brilliant. I was thinking of using these and then mounting a set of flip up pegs to them. Might still do this, but... I like this new idea too... Crash Bars

It's got to be the ground for the lights then.
The bike starts = Brake lever switches (tiny little buggers) are good. The bike starts = main electrical grounds must be good. but no brake lights = bad ground for the bulbs second filament.
Take the bulb out and inspect the socket. Shoot some brake cleaner in there and pretty it all up. Check all the wires going to it with a continuity tester. Put a bit of dielectric grease in the socket and replace the bulb.
Let us know the results. (if you haven't done this already. Forgive me, I never learnt to read.) LOL

Yep, the auto-enricher is not working. Just change it out. Simple job, shouldn't take you long at all. I know, you prefer a manual choke, but when it works, the auto is pretty nice.

"wiggle my index finger"?? The way you say that makes it sound so.... dirty. There is one hand sign not on the poster for some reason, but it gets used fairly often. Hand up in the air, pinky and index finger extended (horns sign), palm facing forward, and move it left to right, right to left twice. It means to ride staggered. Some people use the thumb and pinky instead.

Those systems are pretty expensive and will cost you 25 to life. Well, piaggio/vespa owners don't get a choice. Yeah, I know. And NO, I do not condone violence. But... I remember James Bond had one something like that...

The only security system that's worth having is the one that scans you and kills anyone not you trying to steal it.

Check the switches at the brake levers.
