The 10k mile mark! (Bought it new 9 1/2 months ago!)  At my 10k mile photo stop   And for good luck for the next 10k, I made sure my 10,000th mile ride included a wheelie, a 100mph run, and a bit of off roading.     | ||

Ooh - what'd you use for topcase brakelights? Me likey... | ||
| Mikef5000 |
2 SMD5050 led strips: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-30cm-White12-505 0-SMD-LED-Strip-12V-Free-Shipping-_W0QQcmdZViewIte mQQhashZitem335ea4639bQQitemZ220631163803QQptZMoto rsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Run through a strobe module, resistor, and diode to run 50% bright for a tail light, then strobe for a second to 100% brightness for brakelight. The little LED light beneath the license plate is wired to the same circuit.

I'm right behind you Mike, bought mine about 8 months and 7,000 miles ago. How did you mount your antenna to your rack? looks like a trucker mirror mount? | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Yeah, standard aluminum mirror mount. I just used half of it. Install picturese here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/569533.html?1275526459 | ||

Nice. Might have to look into that. My box is already wired, but running only 5 LED's from a Dodge Magnum R/T highmount brake light. Not a very big "spread", it's only about 5" long...I like your setup, looks very stock and mirrors the OEM taillight nicely. I'll trade ya boxes, sure. I have a spare stock top box, just have to pull my orange panel off for ya  But, I plan to do the install on my 50L topcase...so I'd just have to pull and remount the strips anyway lol. I might also steal your wiring for the 4 ways...nice work. | ||

  Funny.....I usually do a wheelie every time it passes over a 1000 mile mark. 53 of them so far! | ||

What's the antenna on the back of your bike used for? | ||

I hit ten thousand while driving through Okemos, MI on my way to the East Lansing waterpark last week. I must look really creepy knocking the little kids out of the way to get to the top of the waterslide first. | ||

Mikef5000 I am curious what brand of Racks are you using for your top case and side cases. Most of what I have found says that for the top case, you have to remove the side grab bars, and the Triple Tail? Thanks | ||

My luggage racks are the OEM Buell parts. Came stock on my XT. I have a CB radio in my tank bag for long trips. The antenna is wired to that. The bag is not on for these pictures. | ||

Mike, any chance of seeing a pic of your barkbusters mounted? Do the heated grips still work? Thanks David | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Heated grips work great. Bark Buster install page: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/559739.html?1272390597 | ||

Mine just hit 30,000 yesterday. Didn't see it coming, already came and went when I was out in northwest MA, VT, NH area. I'll try not to miss the next big round number. (: |
