That horn wire lead also fits the OEM heated grip connector on Vees, Wees, and Glees, but not Veeks.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

That's odd , I actually wrote OK "blokes" , the system seems to have auto-corrected that to "blokes" .  Must have been worried about you chaps being burnt on top of bonfires , you don't sound THAT wicked , well , most of you ! :)

That's the "save the Brits from Americanisms" filter. It will also change c * o * o * l to either brilliant or cold.

The Rat added the use of a single space, hyphen and maybe asterisk between letters to catch those with evil bypass intentions but that will not sway our cause.

Yes, brilliant seems to be what was originally awe some. It'd be quite interesting to see the list, and the rules as laid out in the phbb setup.

I prefer to remain in ignorance, somethings cannot be unseen, plus it is quite amusing to see the confused postings of new blood.

I was so tempted to replace your picture with another one that says "Brilliant".

I might do later

I'd be very surprised if somebody didn't. Mildly surprised it's not already happened. lol

In a similar vein, I posted a pic of a Harley Sportster, you could swap that for a Yamaha Drag queen.
