  1. Easy solution. Leave the cage at home and ride the bike. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
  2. I can say that my roadsmart 3’s with 13000 miles on them did phenomenal in the freakin monsoon I got caught in between Dallas and Abilene last Saturday. They plowed through some deep water and stayed planted.
  3. And they die real quick if you accidently leave your light on and breifly walk into a convenience store.....twice. Haven’t had this problem either.
  4. I ride year round and have had no problems starting my bike in sub freezing weather with the Lithium battery.
  5. I got this one when mine died https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bike-master-lithium-ion-battery-dlfp-12-bs It’s cheaper than the factory replacement and LIGHT. I mean crazy light. When the package arrived I picked it up and thought that they sent me an empty box.
  6. Yes Mt Rainier. It was beautiful. The South American tourists almost ran me over though. I parked and as I was getting off the bike they came flying into the lot and boxed me in. A big van on both sides then one in the middle that almost got me. Yes, next FJ close to a fire truck.
  7. I’m not kidding when I say this.... you are my hero and when I grow up (retire) I want to be like you.
  8. Well, you’ll never be able to tell the wife you were late because you got lost.
  9. Aw dang! Yeah probably, I was the only FJ around that weekend!Except for me.... I was gassin up when you came out of the store. I thought you went over by the car wash and parked but when I finished and went over there y’all were gone. I went over to Robbinsville, 129, and th south foothills parkway from there. The fog made it sketchy on top in a few places.
  10. Same.. put in 360 miles on Saturday and 600 the previous weekend. I think I saw you at the Exxon in Tellico. You took off before I got gassed up and could say hello.
  11. I’ve always used DID. Always got good life from m them. I used an EK once but sold the bike before I put to many miles on the chain. I do like EK’s screw type masterlink.
  12. I didn't remove the tank to run the wiring. I removed the right side panel that likes to crack and ran the wiring along the frame. It's worked fine for two years.
  13. I used a little relay triggered by the tag light to power mine. It came out of a wrecked ford truck in the junkyard. It fits between my he battery and it’s foam spacer.
  14. You can reach over and apply the brake with one hand and torque the nut with the other.
  15. I’ve got the 665 (I thing that’s what it is... or 660). It’s has all those extra wires. I just bundled them together under the seat. They’ve been under there for two years now. No problems.
  16. Yesterday, I rode the Skyway, the dragon, and the southern end of foothills parkway. There was fog so thick I cut off a piece and had a bite. Snow and ice. Rain and lightning. I was all alone on these great roads... except for a guy in a Porsche for a couple of minuets. It. Was. Fantastic. Today I'm going to clean her up and lube the chain. She got rode hard and put up wet and that's the way I like it.
  17. Put some more miles on it. Those are like kilometers but bigger. My Sargent seat is a much better seat than the oem. It will take some time to break in. Heck, the day I got it I took a 600 mile ride. I have 30,000 miles on mine and think it’s my best after market part.
  18. I tried adjusting the ring on the bottom, but no dice. I talked to the Revzilla people, and they're going to try and warranty it for me, which if yours is on straight I'd be pretty happy about that. I really like the size of the bag.I like it. It’s been with me for about 2 years and 20,000 plus miles.
  19. I’ve got that bag. Mine line up straight. You have some adjustment on the bottom. See if the holes in the brackets are straight.
  20. I put an O-ring around my 12v phone charger. It stays firmly in the socket and charges my phone fine.
  21. I washed it. Got dirty riding 129 yesterday. Had the dragon all to myself on a Thursday. In February. At 8 in the morning. Life is good.
