Good morning Woods. Checking in. Seems like I'm always late for roll call.

Nope. Was doing some side work for Paul the cops kid. Did finish up all the little things on the bike and fully polished up. I need a blinker bulb though. Need a ride to work so I can ride it home.

Stan, if you bring donuts we will forgive your tardiness.

Lou, be careful riding with a burned out blinker bulb. Dump trucks look for that sort of thing. It's like a predator looking for wounded prey.

Morning Woods.

Thats why we use hand signals. Cheaper and we use the extra cash for fuel.

Will a Canadian bulb work without a costly conversion kit?

The metric to standard wiring kit you mean? Depends on the bulb.

Don't forget the correct viscosity of blinker fluid.

Oh yeah, thanks Greg! Gotta use the summer blinker fluid. If you don't replace the winter fluid it thins out in the heat and your signals will brink too fast

Up here, you need to run the 10w40 blinker fluid. Temps can change drastically in an hour.
