What about the panty waisted rainbow monsters who use tuners rather than beating on the CDI box and EFI modules with hammers to advance the timing and increase fuel delivery... also pussies? Then color me pink cause I loooove my fuel moto tune and my fobo too. Let's not bring up those ballet dancers who use a new fangled elecgromechanical garage door opener.... OMG!

Well they do say in Texas go big or go home! Texas you went Big! lol

This weekend I will be installing a kick starter on my 2020 Fat Bob 114 to prevent the "pussification" from getting any deeper. That damn push button start has caused my kick starter leg to atrophy from lack of use. I will also be replacing the head light and tail light with candles, and removing the turn signals and mirrors, as it only causes more laziness.

Pussification has nothing to do with technology, type of bike, or wrenching, and more to do with hair products, tight jeans, foot ware, or your GF/Wife making you walk one of those purse dogs in the daylight!

Good thread @Bluraven as I was on the fence about installing them on my rubber stems. After all the comments above I think I will take the plunge and get them, and when the tires need replacing just use metal stems for additional peace of mind.

I have the FOBO system on my bike. It came with a little display screen and handlebar clamp. The. No need to use phone app. The screen is rechargeable so no batteries in that but the valve caps have batteries. Works great. The screen turns in with motion and shuts off automatically when no movement is sensed. I just have to remember to manually shut the screen off when trailering. Yes I sometimes trailer my bike. Wisconsin is cold in March and I go to Daytona for Bike Week. Now I suppose I am a ***** as well, huh?

My apologies. I don't have the FOBO system. I have the Sykik system.
