Heat Deflection

[Tropic traveler]

Car horns mounted on kickstand cross member, wired with a relay. 

Plenty loud & not expensive. I've done all three of our Valks & the Shadow the same way.

Thanks TropicTraveler.  Hard for me to visualize that mod.  I have not, as of yet, looked up under my Valk.  I also have a center stand to muck things up too.

Sorry, not right now.  I have the Valk apart for annual maintenance.  Grumpy polished the forks to a mirror finish.  Front is apart right now.  Both exhausts are removed while I go thru the middle, and for this weekend when I will do the rear service.  When I get the horns back on I will PM you and send a photo.

Thanks Gil.  I put new pads on my Valk yesterday.  While doing I mic'd the rotors and both were about 4.65mm depending where I did the reading.  Has wavy groves but the pads are wearing in nicely.  Used wet/dry sandpaper to take any glaze off the rotor.  Still have to take a look at the rear pads and rotor.  Kinda tough with my hard shell bags in the way.  Guess I should do that today cause I've only owned it a couple weeks and it's got 53K on it.

Thanks Larue.  I checked out the rear pads this morning and there is lot's of "meat" left on the pads.  Had to remove left bag to check it out.
