You are right. I did miss that arrow. I really had to look for it on the wheel just now, though. Without your photo I am not sure that I would have found it. Thanks for that.

Remember that mirror adjustment mark? The one that Lee mentioned a few months ago? I never found it until I saw pics of some aftermarket mirrors on eBay, about 2-weeks ago.

Yeah, you now know something about a bike you are selling. That's got to be bitter sweet.

True. I do have someone who is interested in buying my RS, perhaps this week. No doubt I will be spending some time showing him the features of the RS. Right now he rides a Harley with "ape hanger" bars. It will be quite a change from that bike.

I think this fellow is ready for a change to a more normal riding experience.
