ummm, ferrari uses quirky state as OEM. i personally don't use it, but if it's good enough for a $200K+ italian, it should be fine for our kraut-mounts.

freakin' horn on the fritz

horn doesn't work when needed. if steering is turned hard left, it mostly works. it may also work 5% when steering is straight on. seems like a trouble with the electrical wire, no? but could it also be the switch? how do you narrow down where a short would be? Or do I get a new aftermarket horn tha...

i lowered the pipe with a kit from Wudo cause I picked up a used set of bags with the full left. personally, i need the full size as I tend to overpack. i feel that with the high pipe, the original left bag is worthless.
