Re: Names and high screen.



Martin,

Careful with the wires, and make sure they are seated in the groove cut into
the handlebars.  I had to disassemble mine to fit a cruise control device
and found that I had almost pinched the wires through on the right side (I
would never have been able to solder then back together down inside the
tube.)
