Or one quarter bracket and 1/5th of a harness with no horn but also tomato sauce on the side....

This is not burger king and you can't have it your way.

Same price and only one price.   I'm not going through the hassle of just selling parts of this.

I see, and just what might that price be? Maybe I missed it but I don't see a price anywhere.

Ah silly me. Sorry about that guy's.  I have sold a couple sets already, but after recalculating my expenses, I basically broke even. 
I am selling the PIAA  dual horns, custom mounting bracket, and wiring harness for $155 shipped via USPS Priority mail. (I'm still well below the National hourly wages.  I could work at McDonald's and make more.)   
I have been told that the installation is very easy and takes about 30 minutes to complete and the results are excellent!

Nicole, if I paid myself minimum wage I'd be giving myself a raise.  :-\

Guys, this is a C14 board. Either remove the political comments or I will.  >:(

Joined ROK, premium membership.
Mounted new Bridgestone T30 GTs with a 55 aspect rear (replaced OE after 2100 miles).
Reinstalled my Heli risers.

Tomorrow is wash and pack, final arrangements for 3500 mile round trip. Southern Arkansas to Boulder, CO then a loop to Rushmore, Sturgis, Devil's Tower, Buffalo Bill Museum then home. Aerostitch will be in Aurora, CO while I'm there so dropping in for a fitting.

Ride safe!

No fairing removal required to lower the front.

Okay, what's the procedure then? Go at it from the top? measure up the tube 1" on both sides, then somehow fit my hamhock hands between all those gizmos to loosen the bolts and somehow work the tubes up?

I've spent a fair amount of time looking for an answer to that question, and haven't run into anything other than "loosen bolts and measure precisely."

This is an area that I've never futzed with on any of the 4 bikes I've owned.  ???

On the centerstand, jack under the front, remove the wheel and fender and do one leg at a time. It's really not too difficult, just take your time

So it can be done.

One of the hazards of failing to find information that's in plain sight -- I missed this. Then again, I never took trig. And my mother always told me I couldn't find my azz with a road map.  :o

Even had you not known, it wouldn't make THAT much of a difference (and since it is probably linear, I can use algebra and think the answer is yours would have been lowered only 8.88889").   But I know I want it to be a perfect as it can be, when it is mine.  Figuring it out was a long flashback.... let's see, opposite over adjacent = cosine?  Ug.

Ordered a set of Lowered Pegs from Murph's, those along with my seat coming from Terry's will made my comfy couch seem like a Lazy Boy. Hope they are worth the coin.
