Posts: 1289 05/11/08 7:13 AM	Oh yea! Thanks for reminding me.............I actually bought some super high Tech LED bulbs for this purpose, but with the Kisan Signal Minder, they don't represent enough resistance to flask. I need to buy some load resistors.............

Thanks, Kurt Kurt, I would think that it is not the size of the shot that matters. It is the fact that shot is there! Bill P Missing YB-VP www.billp.smugmug.com

Posts: 1289 05/16/08 9:22 PM	Actually, the smaller the shot size, the more you can put into the bars and the denser it can be. I used #7 because that's what I have .

Posts: 1289 05/19/08 5:14 AM	Actually, next time I do it, I'm going to pour melted lead into the handlebars. Can't get more dense than that. I tried to add some internal weight to the Rockster handlebars last night. No can do. Seems they have wires in there for the heated grips and some kind of weird internal threaded thingy that will not allow anything to be "poured" into the bars. No big deal as this twin spark boxer has just about no handlebar vibration.....
