I like the Fat Glide myself.

I'd say it's a "modified Dyna".

Playing around with the idea of a Lithium battery to make some extra room under the seat.

The AG-1601 is 480 cca, 16 Ah, & 3.2 lbs (and is intentionally turned sideways in the pic)
The YTX12-16 is 480 cca, 22 Ah, & 3.4 lbs
The stock battery is ~310 cca, ~18 Ah, & ~13.8 lbs

stupid photobucket



Thought others might find the data and size comparo interesting and/or useful.

Thanks! It feels good to be able work with my hands again. A lot of things are awkward or near impossible to do now, but I'm getting stronger and re-learning how to move. My right arm used to be my strong one and now it's much weaker than my left USED to be, so simple things often require a failed attempt and re-think on how to do it. I'm still figuring out the best way to connect air tool couplings. My right arm isn't strong enough in that inward direction. I clamp a lot of things between my knees now. Getting better as I work more, tho.
