      Yup, it was me. My old one took a flight somewhere on a stretch of freeway 2 summers ago. Thanks for posting that link. I was just thinking I should start keeping my eyes open for one.

            Nice, I'm glad you got it. I know they are hard to find.

              Yeah they are; especially with the locking tab intact. It looked like the tab was there in the pic, but even if it's not, I still have that piece in my bike where it broke off when my cover went flying.

              MarkD- I'm over in Gaylord. Traverse is about an hour and a half away. We get over there once every couple months or so. Are you in TC?

                E. the R.-- I am in Frankfort/Beulah. We get to T C pretty often-- this summer we should meet for a ride. Have yet to see another XS on the road here in the area (or any area).

                  For sure. That'd be cool to get together. We were actually in Frankfort 2 weeks ago visiting a friend.

                    Your Frankfort friend probably knows me, ( and I them). We taught school for 25+ years in Fkft., and as the saying goes, " we know everybody in town."
