You don't need to bend the pin -- simply wrap pin 18 with some (thin, not electrical/thick) tape. Using a thick tape such as electrical, re-insertion is an issue.

Congrats to you and the family! She looks so peaceful in that pic.

Regarding the road/drive that you found, what is so special about it? (I don't see any real twisties in the image you posted)....

Congrats

Sounds like you are having fun with the new ride - hopefully all indoors, heard about a snowstorm or some such warning for Chicago tonight.

Just curious, why did you sell the Ducati?

I think that is a very reasonable attitude. Either way, there is not much one can do about it. Best is to go out and enjoy the car :cheers:

Jake, I've followed your work in multiple forums over the past several months.

Jeff, this is completely reversible (you'll just need to keep/buy H7 bulbs if you decide to go back). The only question would be whether you drill the headlight covers or not. Certain sellers have...

Welcome back

Can't help you with the first question.

Regarding the top, I've used RaggTop (to clean and protect), and it seems to work pretty well.

Are you sure you did not change your hi-beam instead of your low-beam? Note that on the 986, the low-beam is the bulb on the top, and the hi-beam is the one below. Can be confusing.

If that isn't...

Off the top of my head, in addition to the lack of side airbag that rick3000 pointed out, the suspension is weaker on the 97s, as well as issues with the convertible top. Good luck!

You are right - you did dodge a bullet, and crooks are indeed stupid. However, movies are probably the worst place to take a bike to (at least here in the bay area).
