I have not experienced problems with the mirrors. My mirrors are =
legible all the way up to 120 mph which has been my fastest speed yet. =
The upper part of the windshield/fairing does flex and the mirrors will =
bounce a bit at certain times but they are always clear enough to get a =
good view to the rear.

Yes, I was told my bike needs a new sending unit for the fuel gauge =
problem. I was told three days for the part. That was 2 weeks ago. =
Still waiting for my bags also.

The tail light uses two bulbs. Sounds like one of yours is burnt out.

Have you tried Fernet Insurance? (1-800-743-3874) I don't know if it is =

An annual ST rally would be great! What about the Smoky Mountains area =
of North Carolina/Tennesee??
Good riding to all,
Charlie (still trying to come up with a good name for my black ST)
