Them 1st Gen's are still trying to catch up with Santa () ! As you know they will not admit that they honestly wanted Santa to bring them a 2nd Gen for Christmas !

That would be a total waste of time and effort . If you really truly want to keep your eyes on 1st gens get a pair of binoculars and look straight ahead:thumbsup:

Well it is a known fact that 1st gen'rs are early risers . They leave earlier to get ahead start !

Us 2nd gen'rs have a little bit more time to .

well we all know you need it after all getting off and pushing a 2nd gen up hills is hard work ---- if you guys were nicer we would throw you a line and tow you up those hills instead we have to wait up the road and kill a few while we wait:rasberry::rasberry:

Thing at Wally World. Called spot mirrors. Could keep Track of ALL the 1st Gens behind you with one of those. You could carry it in the trunk, stop get it out and check behind you. Losing a little bit there not going top make much difference... Your Toast anyway!!

[ronhenry4]

ok ok it was all in fun and bordom... im sorry for all of you who own a 1st gen.. i mean im sorry to those of you i offended but if they ( the 1st gen's) would go a little faster the paint wouldnt fade from the sun

[Yammer Dan]

They don't fade from sun. Just so fast color can't keep up with them.

[bongobobny]

Actually, what he wants to do is mount the trucker mirrors on his saddlebags backwards, so then when he looks in his front mirrors the 1st gens will appear to be behind him going backwards.

 

BTW our paint isn't faded from the sun, it's faded from high speed abraision...

[Squeeze]

Folks !! Folks ...

 

 

He's Kind a new Kid on the Block ...

 

So give him a Break and let him cool down. I'm sure he will get his Lesson sooner or later...

Most large "towing" mirrors come with a fairly universal mount so you can easily drill some LARGE holes in your fairing for the bolts. You may need to use molly bolts to secure the lower bracket into the radiator. But they should be real solid by then.

 

Then you can copy and print a few of our fabulous 1st Gen bikes from the profiles... then, very carefully cut them out. Now, use some rubber cement, glue them near the bottom of the glass in the mirror.

 

Now everytime you glance down... there we are...

 

Simple...

 

Now you are happy and we can sit back, eating our meal and enjoying a favorite drink wondering what's keeping you.

 

Later we will explain that woosh sound you often hear when you are riding with us...

[Yammer Dan]

A little Slow ain't he? And on a 2nd gen.. Just no chance!!!

[DragonRider]

If I remember right at Vogel in 2006 there was a certian 2nd Gen rider that was having trouble keeping up with a UPS truck.......and I believe at that same Vogel, there was a 1st gen that gave a 1800 Goldwing a run for its money, I know, I was there for both............:witch_brew:

Hey Ron,

I am somewhat disappointed that my Avatar is so small that you were not able to see it earlier, so in the spirit of good will I have enlarged it for your viewing pleasure.

Enough Said!

There is a reason SkyDoc17, I and a few others have installed R1 brakes on our 1st Gens. So we can slow down and let those 2nd Gens catch up. Now, if you install those pick-up type camper mirrors, maybe you can adjust the pitch and stabilize that batwing fairing at highway speeds.

I'm afraid they could never reach our normal "highway speeds"...
