Say Shu - Not to steal this thread, but do you have all those bikes now or is your signature a historical matrix of those you have owned? Pretty cool. Which one is your favorite?

those are what I've owned. 3 pics are not of mine though, don't have any pics of the xlcr, the yamaha vision, and my 99 sportster on this computer.

the 3 sportys, the yamaha radian, and the cross roads would be my favs. If I had to pick one it would prob be the silver 883

So I have to assume the Yuasa is a POS.Even out of the bike,the battery goes to 13.96vdc,doesnt switch to storage,check it later and it goes down to 13.67.I'm sure it will keep the battery up to snuff,but I'm afraid the tender itself will burn out if it stays on charging mode forever.I just ordered a Battery Tender Jr.

In 40 yrs of riding I've never used one,just charged it up every spring.Finally got tired of getting a new battery every 2 years.I actually ordered the Deltran+ not the Jr.
