I see that they are different than the US-spec bikes.
Flash-to-pass, ON, OFF, and PO.
What is the PO postion used for?
I also noticed that when the switch is in the off position, it also shuts off the horn button.

Thanks,
Leon

The PO is a 'parking light' used generally in low light but still day light circumstances. not sure what PO stands for? I think it is a throw back to requirements over hear when you had to have a parking light on the vehicle for when u left the vehicle unattended on the carriagway in low light conditions. Not sure what the legal regs are now. You do tend to use this setting on a car but most bikes ride with the normal headlights on if not main beam all the time.

My horn still works regardless of where the switch is so maybe you have an issue with your switch gear?

Thanks mate, nice of you to say.
I have been noticing lately that the Delkevics are sounding even better now with a years worth of riding on them.
I've been very please with them!

seems the packing needs a good coating of fumes to make them sound deeper ?  never heard twins that sound  like a single system , awesome

I loved the Delkevics when I first put them on, although I couldn't decide on baffles in or out and was removing / refitting them every 5 mins.  I settled on baffles in because if I wrung it out around town without ear plugs it hurt.  Then I fitted pods and they hurt my ears anyway so I removed the baffles again.  And, as Leon said they sound so much better with a few miles on them. Nice deep throaty note.  I no longer have any other exhaust on my wish list, these do it for me.

Noel, I'm using the baffles, without doesn't seem to agree with me, either.
To bad more people haven't tried them, I think they'd like them.
