A black zip-tie. I never had one slip down.

RE: the pro street dash:

Any chance you still have the parts list? Also what did you do use to protect the tank if anything?

Thanks!

Need new rear brake pads. Any good recommendations on something decent with a long life-span?

"Decent" (performance) and "long life span" are mutually exclusive . . .

You need to decide which is more important to you: Great braking or long life.

I realize of course that the rear brake does far less of the braking than the front one, which implies that it "need not be as good", but that also means that you can have great braking AND long service life if, for the rear brake, you lean towards getting great brake pads versus long lasting brake pads. Think about it and you'll see what I mean.

I recently replaced both F&R, and I went with HD. Mainly because I needed them sooner rather than later, and I've been told that some of the aftermarket pads squeak...and I definitely didn't want that.
