    Wiring GPS and USB socket on ignition loop

    Another option would be to run them to the battery through a relay, and connect the relay solenoid to a switched +12V source. That way you won't increase the current load (significantly) on the switched +12V source. (switched +12V source like headlights may not have enough margin in current...

    Glue spray for new roof upholstery (car)

    I haven't used 80, but the description says it's for rubber & vinyl. Since you're using fabric it's probably not what you want. Super 77 is very common, and in the US it's available in most auto parts stores.

    Glue spray for new roof upholstery (car)

    3M Super 77 spray would be my go-to solution.

    Opinions needed. Should I run 91 octane in my S2 FZ6 after I install performance mods?

    OP mentioned a Juicebox in the mod list, presumably that would be used to correct the A/F ratios after the rest of the mods are installed?

    Cycle Gear to acquire Revzilla!!!!

    I agree. They're like the Harbor Freight of motorcycle gear. (not that I have anything against HF - they have their place and I shop there too)

    Isn't She Beautiful?

    Congrats on the new bike. Too bad the weather wasn't cooperative, the roads up there are beautiful!

    Heated Gear Draining my Battery

    I just installed a set of Oxford grips on my FZ-07. Box says they draw <4A, which would be <48W.

    Stuborn bolts. Anyone wanna lend a little wisdom?

    For stubborn or seized bolts, a shot of PB Blaster beforehand is always good too.

    24k Air Filter change.

    I would not spend extra on a K&N. Get an OEM replacement (or equivalent). OEMs design the factory air filter to flow as much as is needed. A K&N might flow more, but if the OEM isn't a restriction then it's not going to matter.

    New FZ6 Owner - First Street Bike

    Depends on the state. I got licensed in CA, and there you don't have to take a class. If you do take the MSF class and pass the test, you get a waiver for the riding test at the DMV (which is just riding around a figure 8 anyway). Classes and lessons are not mandatory though.

    Exploring my new backyard; The Sierra Mountain Range

    If you like to ski, Mt Rose is a good option if you live in Reno. It's close and doesn't get as crowded as some spots in Tahoe, and it's got some good terrain too. Upvote from a Reno native! :)

    Anyone with UBER user experience

    I've mostly used Lyft, which is pretty much the same thing. It's fantastic. I'll never take a cab again if I can avoid it.

    Premium Fuels - V Power

    Europe uses a different rating system (RON) than the US (AKI), so the numbers will be different.

    Premium Fuels - V Power

    Shell does put extra detergents in their premium gas. That would be the only benefit to you, since your bike won't gain anything with the higher octane. You're better off putting in 87 and putting the money you save toward the occasional bottle of Techron.

    Next bike? What it would be?

    I love my Street Triple (non-R). Mine has the flyscreen installed, and wind protection is almost as good as my FZ6 was, but with less buffeting. My FZ-07 is a good all-around bike too, but it just doesn't tickle my fancy the way the Triumph does. Definitely give a Triumph a test ride, I think...

    who else uses Fuely?

    I try to use it every time. My former FZ6: My Triumph: My FZ-07: Needless to say that fuel economy is not a strong suit of the Triumph. :(
