I plugged it into the battery trickle charger. Haven't ridden it since EOM and I want it to start fine when the 2022 Pigs-R-Us Travelers Rest South Carolina Doublewide400 fixes to commence next Saturday at 9am KSU!

Already? I figure I have another six weeks or so (or until the first salt) and your winter doesn't start any sooner than ours.

I usually end my season October 31st regardless of the weather...
'Next couple of weeks is full of obligations and stuff that will preclude much riding so... Decided to get a bit ahead on the "parking the bike for the winter" chore.
Thats said, it's not like if by chance the weather stays nice and I'm obligation free for a day I can't unplug and take off for a ride ;)

Indeed! This is why I added the steel 357...camera gear can be heavy.

Ahhhh. So THAT is what people were talking about being broken if you didn't use the SR357 rack. I never understood. Very helpful pic.

Yep, Gerauld used to sell the stiffy kit which also helped with this. After sourcing and replacing my subframe, I put the stiffy kit on my bike AND the Givi SR357 rack. I never want to deal with that again. I was thankful it happened close enough to home for my wife to drive over and get my bags for me so I could ride home. Definitely don't want that happening somewhere across the country.

Finally got around to installing the Admore stuff I got after EOM; lightbar pro and universal luggage lighting. Took about 90 minutes with the longest single activity being making a decision on how to run the lightbar wire. Ultimately ran it parallel to the luggage light through the luggage mount hole to avoid drilling any holes in plastic.
Before, after.
