            I learned my lesson at an early age about chains and rain.Took my '70 650 Yamaha on a 1300 mile ride to Texas to see my brother when I was 18 and it felt like it rained the whole way.All I did was adjust and spray lube on that chain.At that time I learned a lesson I have not forgotten,go shaft.
            I think I took that picture a couple of years ago of a Triumph.
            I also learned that Harley spray lube worked very well and didn't sling much after picking up a can some where on the road.

                    That is a great gag. The girls were more ready to watch the show than their escorts!

                            I like all your pins on the left cover. I would worry about how waterproof the cover would be.....you obviously don't
                            How is your clock attached? Is that a paper style GPS ? I find that style very difficult to use at any kind of speed...or on windy days
                            In a road side cafe or coffee shop the paper style are a good read and often reveal interesting places to go

                              Max,don't remember ever having water getting in thru the pins to tell ya the truth,they are pretty tight with just a very small hole to begin with,
                              Yuppers I am a map person,I don't want a gps,I don't need to know where I am every single second.When I am on the bike I am there to get away and besides I can't get lost I don't know where I am going
                              Well thermometer is attached with velcro and the sensor is located just outside the front vent on the fairing.It has a little switch to tell the temp where it sits and if I want it can tell time but I never set it cause I don't care
