I might get an AGM for my brother too.  He has a Honda Fit and apparently it has a motorcycle battery.  He had to get it replaced recently and the mechanic was kind of puzzled for a bit there.

I guess it's ok.  He's already got one, I'm just thinking when the next one dies it might be nice to go AGM.

fitted the airfly crash bar that just arrived from India direct in less than 2 weeks. Took a little work to make spacers to clear the exhaust, O2 sensor, and relocate the charcoal canister up a couple of notches (it hits the front mudguard in it's normal spot and has left a scratch and slight dent , if it still hits it may be departing till smog time).
Now 2011 Royal Enfield G5 and just added 2014 Continental GT and latest 2015 Ducati 803 Scrambler Urban Enduro
Then:-
1978 Ducati 900 GTES
1969 Ducati 350 Desmo Racer
1972 Mototrans Ducati 250 24 Horas
1965 Triumph Tiger Cub 200
1967 BSA Bantum

This weeks commuter bike is the 07 Hack setup.   I am getting better at flying the car since I run it with no ballast.    It is a trip to scoot around someone in traffic flying the car over the curb to get a bit more space.     I notice I am in a better mood when I get to work than last week when I was on the HD.   ;D

in oz it's called autosol metal polish. i think any good metal polish from a auto hardware store would do.
look for something that will polish alloy wheels and that will be fine

Received my replacement rack from Hitchcocks, as the first one had a broken weld.  I can't say enough about their customer service - it's simply great. 

Put the rack on the other night, and today:  hi ho ... hi ho ....
