I hear ya on the right side mounting. I've always put them on the left, and I can't recall why I put this one on the right. I'm sure I had my excellent reasons at the time though ;-)
BTW, when I said "for a much cleaner looking installation" I meant cleaner than the hack job on my QB and not your super neat install on the Atlantis. I don't know if you're running a dyno rear light, but if so and you've found a clean and sharp way of running the wire to the rear, I'd love to see it. -Jay Denver, CO On Jan 30, 3:00 pm, Seth Vidal <skvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 2:22 PM, J.
