The mirrors on the JL demo bike I rode were very shaky, but the
mirrors on my bike are a lot better (still not as good as my T3
Daytona though)

Yes you will, to look out for traffic cops!

As Jonathan Schulster (hi Jonathan :-) mentioned, I've just spent
two and a half days riding around the Nuerburgring Nordschleife, with
my exhaust in the "touring" position. I touched both pegs down but I
don't think the exhaust went down (must check...). More on the
Nuerburgring in another message.

That's all you get. Personally I've grown to like it; it appears
to be consistent, and unlike my previous bike (a T3 Daytona) it
doesn't flicker, it just comes on and stays on. The light always
catches my attention and I head for a petrol station without having to
mess about with a reserve tap.
