Default Help me with this wasted space

Look at that blank canvas between the two tanks. What to do, what to do.

Show me your tank panels. I am searching for something useful (hold garage remote, registration card, insurance, etc.).

Thanks!

You could glue a teddy bear to the tank by its forehead, and every time you look down there and think about making a change you could kiss that teddy bears butt.

Just a suggestion.

You need to find more interesting roads to look at.... I only time see that thing is when I stop for gas.

1.) garage door openers can be mounted in a hidden location and triggered with high beam or added switch

2.) wallet is a great place for your paperwork- wanna keep a cop from getting pissy, hand them all the stuff they want to run, and keep the story about why you were speeding short.
opening the saddlebag for paperwork, give "probable cause" for the thing they 'thought they saw"

if you find you have lots of time staring at your console.... you need to get out of the garage more and ride.

this sounds like a winter "I'm snowed in" question.

Granted, you're working with a different console, and I wasn't looking for anything particularly useful <VBG>.

And for those who think we need to ride more, that console and I have done 31,000 miles together so far this year - more planned....<VBSEG>
