Hi Al. Yup.....same here. S[ring is upon us. It's my favorite time of year. Days get longer and it's not dark at dinner time. Or is it supper time? I forget......

Bob, for some reason , it seems the last 5 months went by pretty quick. Hoping the next two go by faster, though.

Yes, it is. The bike is wired for heated grips and inside the fairing. But that doesn't help with your problem.

What I can't understand is that they sold you those grips knowing they were going on something and should have warned you they wouldn't fit. I tried to buy switches and they would sell them but said they wouldn't work, so I didn't.

Chris, I picked the grips based on an older catalog which described it a little differently. really no one's fault. Besides, they really didn't cost me anything, I got them to throw them in after the deal was made on the bike. I'll put them on the Springer when I feel like or just sell them at a good price.

I remember you getting them, I'm just aggravated for you, for the reason I mentioned. Even if it's no one's fault, it still sucks. But adding to the Springer is a great idea too. Oh well, fix it 'till you break it lol.

I don't know Al.....January and February felt like 6 months to me. But now we're at the point when life will get back to normal a bit. Got the first vaccine, and better weather is on it's way. I've had the bikes out a number of times, so I'm in a much better mood.

But that's it. As mentioned, I'm done. Next No more long cold winters for this guy. I'll be in Scottsdale next year this time.
