id be more worried about the hunk of **** hd battery blowing up than a lithium ion..i own over 10 of them and none of them have failed or blew up..most of the stories you hear of them failing is the owners fault...adding all kinds of extras to them & letting them discharge to low and putting a regular charge to them...the never need charging just balancing if they sit for over a year...other than that they are maintance free and deliver mind blowing CCA!

Lightbulb the glowing burst

well over this cold time of year left me with too much time on my hands and while enjoying the see through intakes and having a burst one i enjoy too i decided to modify and then add lights... seemed like a brilliant idea.

I've seen a video of someone with cooling fans. It was broken up into 2 parts, both idling and not moving like in a garage. I believe it was an ad for one of the manufactures. Do you have a tuner on the bike that displays engine temp? Maybe a powervision? I would like to see someone not affiliated with the company do a controlled test without the bike moving and showing the fans lower the head temps.

Exactly.

Why not just richen the mixture a little? That'll cool it down too.

Adding more gadgets to a bike puzzles me - a Harley that looks like a 60's Schwinn Stingray with an engine in it is my goal, lol .... but our bikes are ours to mod as we like, so if fans flip your switch, go for it man

that video is on Love Jugs home page, was one of the things that sold me on it! It is tuned, but I dont have a tuner that reads temps, wish I did.
