    Shorai battery

    Ah! My mistake. I thought you had cold weather experience that indicated it started just fine with the Shorai. I guess when the temps get down in the 30's is where it becomes marginal.

    Shorai battery

    I wonder why your experience is so different from others on here (Tomin CA, garyahouse)???

    Shorai battery

    One subtle thing you all are overlooking is the 10# impact of the lighter battery on the CG and some what the handling of the bike. I know when I fill the fuel tank there is definitely a 'top heavy' feel compared to say a half tank of fuel. 10# is what, about 1 1/4 gal of equivalent fuel...

    Possible Power Commander III problem!

    I did check that both the physical and electrical ground connection was good and it is (has been for 6 years!) connected directly to the negative post of the battery.

    Possible Power Commander III problem!

    I'll do that. I installed the unit in early 2006 and it has worked well since then until this issue appeared. I was sort of surprised at the symptoms the bike displayed thinking that the PCIII would either 'work or not work' as they say. Oh well, I'm sure they have seen this before for all...

    BLACK Kuryakyn ISO Grips

    If you look at their web site you'll notice they also sell a slick matching bar end weight that is the cats meow. Good looking grips that absolutely reduce vibration as well.
