Also, any alternative uses for the makeup mirror that has no mirror? (At least mine doesn't)
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Trunk tricks?
Has anyone figured out a way to install a lift strut on the trunk lid? I think that would be a neat accessory to have.

Re: Trunk tricks?
Not to put Gene down, I never would but I replaced my mirror for $5 at a glass shop. Looks as good as new.'

Re: Trunk tricks?
I'm sure Gene is not offended, but, I have bought about 10 or more of his polished stainless steel replacements to repair mirrors that pass by me when Geno Shields and I repair bikes on the fly. The one thing about Gene's is they snap right into the existing mirror housing, and,..... and, they will never break, again.
Just a thought.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Re: Trunk tricks?
I removed the mirror itself and use the plastic as an arm. What I do is put all of my different gloves in that small open pocket behind the mirror on the inside of the trunk lid, and the mirror plastic and arm hold them in place.
That way I'm not looking for them in the saddlebags nor are they spewed all about the trunk.
