[Tanx] Good news! Fairings!

Tue Oct 24 13:11:07 PDT 2017

My blinker was really slow and I thought it was a malfunctioning relay but
after some research I just cleaned the switch and it worked fine! But in
the mean time I bought the $5 relay.

In all honesty, anything that makes me turn off the turn signal is good.  I
lead rides and everyone complains that I leave the signals on. I do it all
the time. If mine beeps, great!
