Sounds like your looking for a Goldwing or (brace yourself for this Paul), a
Harley. You can pick up an older Goldwing pretty reasonably. Harleys typically
run a little higher but then they hold their value longer if well kept. Least

I got the genius g750 last year. I got a few extra battery connectors which are
very cheap, and they come with a plug that will keep the connectors clean and
dry. I have one mounted on each bike and my two mowers and just alternate the
charger twice a week throughout the winter months. It's a
I would add that if the cable is broken, it would be prudent to inspect and
service the gear and other parts that engage the front hub prior to replacing
the cable or you may be repeating the process. My speedometer gear was busted
up because in thirty years the grease turns to more of a caulk
I agree to use the car battery only as a extra source of cranking power,
meaning not the charging system. The reason most of us run one car to jump the
next is to get all the extra boost from the host vehicles alternator as well.
This also serves to help maintain the source supply and not
