 icon_cheers Don't worry about those blinker paddles.  In a few hundred miles they'll be second nature along with not reaching for 6th gear.  When you get there, you'll know you're a real bricker.

I don't even think about the blinkers until I ride something else, then usually wind up honking the horn instead of signaling.  ANOTHER "85 FYK pops up,  36 years and still making converts!

Two K75s and two airheads - three different way to activate the signals!

I put a couple pine shims I had laying around under the front seat supports of my RRS and it kept me from making love to the tank.
