I drifted my fatty this morning!
Had unexpected severe freezing conditions last night and coming home from a night shift hit some ice on a slight right hand corner at about 40. The main road had been salted, ice started coming into the corner and lasted to about half way round.
The back end slew to the left I feathered the throttle and we got round in one piece on line, not sure how but we did but we did. Its not something I recommend doing.

^^ Bummer- hope ya get better. Been raining here 2 days straight, all i did was revise my spark timing tables, readjust belt tension and add a new set of plug wires (which i took back off, because they were made incorrectly...)
That Target Tune module I added the other week with set of WB O2's- man that is some sweet stuff right there. DJ nailed it with this.

True but you could wire the passing lamps and headlight together so you do away with the switch. I just installed them on my 2016 although I did use the switch but I am about to just wire them together as I don't see an need for turning them off. They already go off when I turn my high beams on. This way there's an available hole for something else.
a scary feeling, i would have to change my pants after that

(and with pictures) to see all the different ways
people wired (or installed) things exactly to their liking.
(ie, I like how I wired mine)
