    Negative Ghost Rider....................

    They are not on incorrect, they are different then any Worldcrosser tank stickers I've ever seen.. The ones I've seen and the ones pictured on the YAMAHA package that these ones came in are different (see video) then the ones I have/received... Don't even look similar----

    I'm actually very happy with the ones I got so its all good......

    Jaumev is the resident forum sticker expert. His say is final.

    I had heard Yamaha had a special dyslexic sticker pack made to pass
    strict US equal opportunity laws. Have to keep an even playing field you know.:wink:

    Same reason certain colors are sexual preference oriented to avoid discrimination lawsuits.
    Frankly I'm surprised the Raven Teneres don't come with cruise control so the limp wrists
    can have a throttle break.

    I'm using the OEM heated grips. Expensive but plug and play electrics, nice attention to detail (the heat controller bracket is rubber mounted and attaches within easy reach on the mirror stem), and they get very hot. Some people have commented that the left side doesn't stay as hot as the right because the bare handlebar drains away the heat. I insulated the bar with heat shrink tubing before installing the left grip and both sides heat evenly.

    I don't know if you guys got the memo. But, this thread is neither for asking questions, nor answering them.

    That is what Google is for... :deal

    I'm got the KTM heated grips, four way adjustable- small very compact control unit, I still have to put them on- will do it tomorrow. I will use the factory Yamaha heated grip harness.

    I got them from ktmtwins.com for $99. Others are using them and seem to like them, I shaved/sanded and smoothed the raised KTM letters of the control unit. lol

    Will put them on tomorrow and take some pics, it's gonna be 77F here over the weeken so they will come in handy. :lol3
