    Good shop in/near Las Vegas?

    I've never heard of "Green Valley Motorcycles." I'll ask my local riding friends and maybe pay a visit.

    Good shop in/near Las Vegas?

    My experiences with the local shops have not been favorable. So much so that whatever I can't do my self, I'll ride the 200+ miles to Rancho Cucamunga to have them do it. YMMV (Thanks for the tip Adam. Kingman is a bit closer than Rancho Cucamunga.) That said, RideNow Powersports on Boulder...

    The Hello Kitty patches arrived Saturday. I'll send them to Linda once we're ready to order the covers.

    Got to try out the Tanji FBFC

    Nice! Looks like you're ready for the IB5000. :thumbsup: With the Pelican case, IIRC, GZ mounted his case to a plate that was attached to the tank using standoffs that bolted through the strap slots. Hopefully, some of the other Tanji/Pelican owners will chime in.

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    Great find Don! I'm not sure it would be practical for my particular use, but I'm sure someone can appreciate the ability to see at glance what the aux tank's fuel level is without undoing the fill cap.

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    Seems like an awful lot of variables to rule out or compensate for... Angle of tanks during filling (tank on bike/bike on sidestand versus tank on table). Accounting for possible voids (shaking the tank during filling). Elevation differences (Fridley, MN @ 860' while Creston, CA @ 2000'). Temp...

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    Great job Don! :clapping: At least you didn't have to call your SO at zero-dark-thirty to bring you some gas. Joe - sounds like you've made a winner. (Not that I had any doubts.) Kitty - You may want to bring two "promotion kits" if you're in my neck of the woods. Gas stations are far...

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    I'll still buy and send 'em on to Linda but if you'll take care of the sewing charge, that would be "wicked awesome!" Sounds cool to me.

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    Make sense to me Kitty and thanks for coordinating with Linda. BTW - Wifey saw the Hello Kitty patch... ...She now wants one for her jacket. That means I'm putting in an order shortly. If anyone on this group buy wants one, let me know by Friday, April 9 and I'll add it to my order. With the...

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    Alrighty then... Looks like it's four covers from Linda T. Joe has trusted us1 with the exact dimensions of both the prototype and production tanks. Should we start talking to Linda T now or wait until we have the completed tank in hand? 1It was more a promise of grave bodily harm and certain...

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    What d'ya think about this Hello Kitty patch? Linky I have two (now grown) daughters and plenty of Hello Kitty memorabilia still attached to desks, chairs, etc. (I wouldn't THINK to remove any of it either.) Whatever the choice, I'm game.

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank (joe2lmaker)

    Linda T's "Standard" aux tank cover has the following standard features (from www.customtankbags.com): Water Resistant Exterior Zippers 3 exterior 3D 'Basic' pockets (horizontally mounted pockets have a flat pocket on the inner lid) Vertically mounted pockets with outward facing side have...
