Not yet, they don't.

I felt poor pulling the Krauser Kluge up next to those Sophia Lorens!

Haven't bread each response, on the road- but *any* wire circuit should show very near zero ohms. If the lamps are in this circuit, maybe ok. If not, a serious fault.

Those screws pass through the mounting plate and thread into the plastic housing below (may have brass inserts, don't have it in hand) but you probably feel the plastic housing dropping away, which you can't see.

Not so much, really. Unsealed, liquid lead acid needs more float than AGM or VRLA but it's hard even to find those in 12v anymore, usually they're 6v deep cycle. https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-214-summary-table-of-lead-based-batteries

Pssst. (AGM is still lead-acid)

lol those things are not mutually exclusive. Lard, FWIW, was traditionally used to lubricate wooden wheel axles. So eating lubricants isn't off the table. No pun intended but I'll take 'em where I find 'em. Maybe that hovering dictatorial moderator will put these posts in a "Tin Foil Hat" thread.

History is always fun, funny, and maddening. Lard is good. (From Snopes.com my fav propaganda site) "Crisco wasn’t invented by or for the German Navy, or for the purpose of lubricating submarines. Hydrogenation, the process by which Crisco is made from vegetable oils, was invented by German chemist Wilhelm Normann in 1901. Whether Crisco or similar products were ever used as submarine lubricants remains undetermined." "Wilhelm Normann, eventually sold his patent to Procter & Gamble for use in the food market."

To avoid confusion, here's a chart showing battery state-of-charge; this chart is 'under load', which means the top line would be perhaps 'key on' and the bottom line would be 'starter engaged'. This matters because a battery near the end of it's useful life may show good voltage at rest but fail under load. An at-rest lead battery should be 12.6-12.9 volts unloaded.

That's actually my first go-to if it's available where I need it. That's in the Bimmer at the moment.

I'm not the guy who routes in stone, just easy to keep stops in Garmin. How about this; I can start about anywhere, let me know where you are going to be Mon/Tues, maybe we can hit a few stops together. I'll PM my cell number.

Survey says no. Candelaria is the last reach for solo riders on big bikes. Chispa road goes past but is not for tourists. Can take the Mexican side up from there, but uh...no. So I'll keep to the route on the Garmin, cutting back to Marfa.

Data, yummy. Watch the charge light, with engine off turn key on and wiggle it around, see if lamp lights or flashes. Do the same while giving the harness the wiggle test at suspected connections.

The bolts in this V11 appear to the the same size as the '97 Sport and the '85 Tonti LMIV.
