Sorry, forgot to post the link for the $38 gel battery, here it is http://www.ebay.com/itm/AGM-GEL-YTZ14S-Battery-Honda-ST1300-ST1300A-P-KTM-950-990-FZS1000-FZ-1-FZS-/120868492056?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1c2452d318#ht_3058wt_1163

If it turns out to be a battery issue here is a 14amp ytz14s gel for $38 shipped, I replaced my original Yuasa ytz10s with one and it seems to work fine. They also have the smaller 12 and 10 amp batteries.

I found this product in the back of a magazine and I was wondering if anyone has ever used it. http://www.tireguardian.com/pages/how-tyreguardian-works.html Seems like a great idea to me while on 2 wheels. Thanks

Here is a guy that makes them and sells them on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280634398528&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

The Honda cases are made by Givi. I have the Honda cases on my 2003, the Givi locks I ordered from Twisted Throttle are the same as the locks I replaced on my cases. Sorry I can't remember where I found the information, maybe the other forum. Good Luck

I found the same deal on this forum. They were mismatched a and the keys were different. I found replacement locks on twistedthrottle.com http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productlist/169/ Very inexpensive to just replace the locks with a matching set. They don't sell just the keys. Good luck!

It looks like the "Epic Ride" everyone wants to take. I am curious though, I noticed you have the stock seat on your VFR. I am wondering how it held up and how comfortable it was with all those miles on it. Maybe it isn't worth upgrading if you survived on it for thousands of miles.
