I am to lazy to change the flasher relay or solder in a resistor lol. The hyper blink doesn't bug me though.

I would suggest that, its a lot more classy than what I have now lol.
Also remember they have a lifetime warranty which is awesome as well.

So this summer I signed up for a group trip the UP. It was a 5 day camping trip that went from the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula to the Mouth of the Huron River. It was a great trip and I recommend anyone within a couple hours of the UP should go. For info on next year's trip here is the site where you can find the information on it if you are interested:
Upper Peninsula Overland ? View forum - Motorized Adventures
Anyway as we know :worthless
Here is right after we rolled into the first campsite.
Just a couple miles up the beach there was an old rocket range that was used by NASA to test rockets. There isn't much left other than a concrete pad and a steel rail with some numbers on it. It was a beautiful area though.
Took some night shots on the point the first night, it was a great time and luckily I wasn't drinking so I got some good shots haha. Unfortunately later in the week the weather took a bit of a turn and it was too windy/cloudy for night photography.
The next day we took a trip to Keystone beach which was an awesome white sand beach. There was not enough room to camp there though since vehicles were not allowed on the beach. It was a good opportunity though to take a lake Superior bath lol.

We headed down the Peninsula after Keystone beach and hiked up Mt. Huron, which was awesome! The views were spectacular.
Next we hit the tarmac and hoofed it down to a little old mining town by the name of Gay. Gay was once the home to several hundred miners and their families that operated the Gay Stamp Mill that now lies in ruin along the lakeshore just outside of town. The result of the stamping operations to extract the final bits of copper from the mine tailings brought in from other parts of the peninsula is a 3 mile stretch of black sand dunes. This environmental nightmare may be seen as unsightly to some, but it is also a very interesting reminder of the past. And of course we can go rip around on them
And of course we stopped at the Gay Bar....
The last couple days we moved on down to The Mouth of the Huron River, which was another fantastic spot. It was all white sand beach and the rain had cleared up by this point.
The next couple of days, I didn't take any more pictures, but we went wheeling around the mouth, which was a blast. I recommend taking this trip to anyone. I know I will be back for next year.

I got my replacement led 'bulbs' for my corner lights today. I was very excited about these since they looked very much like the TRS morimoto bulbs, but I am a bit disappointed. They are not really a Amber color that I was hoping for and expected. They turned out to be more of an off yellow, which is alright, but not the greatest. I will probably email the seller and let him know since they were from eBay. Time will tell to see if they are at least reliable. One thing for sure, they are bright AF!

Have you tried VLEDS ambers? 194 HIGH-VIS AMBER 6 LED HIGH POWER 360° | 1 EACH - 194 - 168 - 158 LED - Shop Bulb # They're a really nice yellow,not washed out.
I might have a single bulb lying around, they sent me a new pair when one went bad and I gave the new ones to a friend when I switched to white 921 LEDs. If I find it and it works I'll mail it to you no charge. They started selling them in single quantities recently.

I think I called you out before on this lol and I'm sorry. They look like a nice unit SMD? I'd be interested to see what they're like I paid 13 for the set of these so 13 for one is kind of rich for my blood but if they work I can't complain I guess lol. How is the warranty on them?

LOL I don't think you did, I'm pretty good at responding to mentions/quotes etc. What was it about?
1 year warranty, all I did was email them about how one went bad then they sent a replacement pair, no return form or sending back the defective bulb. Definitely brighter than the original 194s and larger 921s (still incandescent) I used and much better color, I think 921 ambers were designed for turn signal duty because running them constantly on as a marker bulb caused the coating to fade right away.

I said why wouldn't I just buy them from ebay, but case and point on my end I guess lol.
Interesting the 194's are T10 right?

Got my clutch installed finally.. God that was a *****! The trans fits in there really tight.. But it drives so nice now it was worth the hassle.
I Didnt resurface the fly wheel though, instead I got a new Napa fly wheel.. Just an FYI for anyone who is gonna go that route the napa fly wheel is a LUK fly wheel and they charge 85 for it when you can get the same fly wheel at rock auto for about $40...
The old shit
