I just bought a large gym bag to fasten on the back of my Nighthawk

If you have a Cycle Gear nearby they sell cargo netting. Any of the major

coated hooks, usually $7-12 for a decent sized net.

Graham,
Sorry that you had to return here on such a sad note.
I run all four tires on the two bikes at about 34 PSI.
Yes, Harleys are here. In fact, the WOF inspector I talked with today was
a Harley guy and another fellow I talked to worked for the Harley dealership
just down
Yeah, I heard from a friend there who has a GSX1400 that over 600 or 650 cc is
$500 and under that is $400. I was surprised at the used bike prices. I
thought they were lower than around here, specially for crotch rockets and
sport bikes. I thought it may be because of the high registration
Here is the GM part number, three lots of them on motors.ebay.com for $7-8.
BTW they are more robust than the Honda clips.

34 PSI is really low for a front tire, on my Nighthawk I got about 16 on

I don't understand why he put an extra kill switch on the handle bars? Or
where the wires are running.
I am wondering about the previous wiring tie in. Could it be that the kill

by connecting to the frame?

That has been my thought. We talked about the side stand switch before. Page
