    Did you leave something on and it drained the battery?  In all my years of riding this has never come up.

    I've never personally "needed" mine on the road but have used it to jump a passer by. But I carry one "just incase". Keys can be left on, batteries crap out/short out, ect. In the miles I travel in a typical year I don't want to be in BFE with no phone service and not be prepared. These thing are very compact and could be carried in your pocket if you so choose.

    I bought one from Amazon a while back. Haven't needed it yet, I have had the thought that if I needed it I would still have to take off the seat etc just to get to the battery. 

    Has anybody tried to make a wiring harness that could be mounted to the bike so you could just plug in the jump starter kinda like a battery tender trickle charger?

     

    There are C14 guys that have made a harness. But our battery is IN the frame. Little more complicated than just taking the seat off.

    Damn, I've never had that kind of issue dealing with Anker!  I thought they were much better than that, sending me free stuff, and a free replacement to ease a bad review.  This was on $40 earbuds, though.

    @Steve Butters  One thing I wonder about with having one of these on the bike in the AZ heat would be how would the Li-Ion batteries hold up to the heat? I wouldn't want to see it burn your ass (literally) if it doesn't like the heat.

    Even had a link to escalate my claim. That was shot down in less than 2 hours.

    The Whale is such a fine motorcycle. You don't notice exactly how nice it is until it is loaded with two people and cruising.

    Been two up(ing) on the Connie quite a bit lately. Never thought it was possible but I love that bike even more now. 

  5. At least once a year I have to remind myself why I don't like to do the local wing joints bike night. Last night was that night. The latest trends are the brothas and there big front wheeled Harleys with the obnoxiously blaring side bag stereos. And the younger crowd with their clapped our sport bikes with extended swing arms(even the 600s) and running NO exahust(strait  pipes) and start them up in the parking lot just to let everyone hear how low their IQs are.

    It did all the things adequately but from what I’m told it will need a backrest before the gap trip. Finding a used one is proving quite difficult so I’m about to take a $500 kick in the nuts for a stupid plastic box

    If you know your going to get a mono key. Just get your plate mounted and you can use my box for the gap trip. BUT, I dont have a pad on mine. My wife didn't like it.

    Exactly the same. Fuck Anker.

    I did open that box up and you can bypass the circuitry and make it a direct connection to the battery. I jump started my mower by doing this. But I fear using it on anything with a computer. Might just use it for a battery for my tire pump if Anker won't do anything about it.

    This list still current? Chime in if your on it and shouldn't be or vise versa.

  9. I have one made by Anker  it worked well for a couple  of years but just tried to use it last week and it failed. How ever I did call Anker and even though its a couple years old they are looking into what they can do to help me out with either a fix or replacement. So stand by on the out come of that. This is the newer version of what I have.  https://www.amazon.com/Gasoline-Portable-Advanced-Protection-Flashlight/dp/B071214BB6
