Also thought it interesting you left your one mirror on the right side ... I think the 'correct' position should be on the left hanging below handlebar off the clutch pull ... J/K ... but, you should think about it ...

[As I understand, the preference for the left side would be that according to traffic laws, slower traffic is supposed to keep right, so vehicles are overtaken on the left side ....]

Im not slower traffic. : ) I actually thought about that one too. I was using the right more when I had both stock mirrors. My riding position also lets me look left real easy while it’s a stretch to look right. Was wondering if there was an etiquette to that though. Thanks for the info.

Plus it’s a good spot for my helmet.

Yeah ... I'm almost never overtaken on the left, either ... 'cept maybe an occasional 'crotch rocket' flying by at 150 MPH or something crazy like that ....

Got my first decent ride in this morning with the new switches.

Two things, relying on the key to turn the bike off sucks when your key doesnt turn that good and Ive got the red key light on my dash. It runs just fine but I think my clutch wired closed it tripping an error. Have to wait till tonight to pull the codes and see whats going on.

Joker Machine, Jay Brake (is what I use.), Performance Machine, S&S, Doherty (order from UK eBay), Arlen Ness (good quality, a little too flashy for me). There are a bunch out there. It took me a while to decide on one. Narrow them down by which features you want (I wanted a single cable, not dual, polished, not chrome, with push-in cables rather than thread-in-Jay Brake, $60), and then by price and there ya go.
