Second worst product ever behind Paintbrush. I spent the day out on multiple sites with just a Windows laptop, no real OS. It was ok.

Storage is cheap. I had no idea compression was still a thing. My aggressively mediocre Windows laptop has a touch/pen screen. I bought the MS pen (40% more than an Apple one). The "documentation" just gives a URL to go find the actual docs. That doesn't exist. I can't find a place to charge/connect the pen (should be a magnetic coupling like an iPad and its pencil). Binging an answer finds...none. So Microsoft gave me two devices listed as compatible, with broken documentation, no obvious way to use it, and unlike an Apple product, attempting to do the connection in the settings does not result in a guided setup. I gave up. I was starting to re-like Windows. And yet I'm reminded of why nobody who isn't an expert should use it.

Most of the clip ons have height adjustment also. Mine does.

They also don't charge you for rotation and balance on a new car with OEM tires. AND!!! They did a free warranty replacement on an OEM tire for me, presumably they turned it in to the manufacturer. Normally I just walk in and pay what they are asking, because of this. But for the latest tires, the stackable rebate deal on Tire Rack cut the price by a huge amount, then I saw that they had partnered with Discount, and it was an easy choice. Ordered Sunday, delivered to Discount on Tuesday.

On the KTM, it's effective at making the helmet airflow more laminar and less buffeting. It also redirects most of it over the helmet. Which is actually a problem in summer or very low speeds on hot days. You can stop and swivel that one down, and it's very adjustable. That bike also got the Givi tall adventure screen. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BP8KK99/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Discount Tire is one of those weird Southwest gems that everyone raves about. Like the convenience stores I've talked about, every manager and counter guy has been a tire buster. You don't hire into any high end roles (except IT eventually, because well, you don't want most IT people touching anything mechanical). This drives understanding at every level.

I have one on the KTM and it's a life-changer. $25.

LOL, another charge station, true!

Well yeah, the rejuvenator is a different story, part of the magic is hard pulses too. Which is why it USUALLY produces little heat, but I've also had a battery get hot (tiny AGM heavily neglected). As part of my susceptibility to these old wives' tales having some foundation...I put the Smart on the charger the other day because I'd been doing a lot of starts and under one mile drives, with the AC and other consumers going. These are known for weak charging systems (or at least, alleged on all the forums). Because of how I will use it, I'm considering hanging an SAE plug through the grill and using a charger occasionally. I guess I should add a cheap voltmeter?

I have a feeder and one of our neighbors has three; I spend a lot of time there. No signs of shitting at all.

Yeah, that one makes little sense to me. Maybe @mikesail has a theory? Maybe those are examples of aged alternators? Maybe the old wives' tale comes from cars with defective or simply worn alternators? I've seen higher voltages in a lot of cars. Now I'll need to go test a few.

Or ever go from freezing to under-hood temp. Never. There's no magic in chargers that us mere mortals buy, excluding the stuff like Oscar mentioned. Why would a charger's electrons and electron flow valve be different from a car's? Nonsense, probably left over from a time when they had really bad mechanical regulators. Technology has made it so we can ignore so many old rules. 3k oil changes, 25k spark plugs*, tires that go to shit in 20k.... The Smart has a 30k plug interval, WTF? PO did it at like 23k.

I'm mystified where these old wives' tales come from. Was it maybe true decades ago? Like putting a battery on concrete?

Dad worked for them and I started my first business around 5th grade fixing shit based on bags of their dead castoffs that I rebuilt.

Oooh, I have some bad news for you about the tequila served to locals in Mexico and the rum served to locals in Cuba. "Export quality" means "the peasants can't afford it."

He's also got to pay the taxes for the free medical care.

There's a small chance of self-repair since it could also lead to a fire.

I put a home grown (very hot) jalapeño in a mixed berry smoothing today. Meh, not bad, not a benefit.

Those are the bare ones, right? That you solder and cover with heat shrink tape? Sounds like you have experience and tools, you'll be good.

Also be sure you note one thing Oscar mentioned. Corrosion can creep up the wire. You have to remove it all, like a cancer, or it will continue to spread.

You're fairly new here, we don't know your skill level. Rate yourself from 1-10 where 1 is "injures self with screwdriver between tool chest and bike" and 10 is "rebuilds engines through the exhaust pipe like a gynecologist." But really, using decent components and tools, it's not a big deal. Particularly if you do one wire at a time and be patient. I have a marginal view of Croatia from the outside from an in law, but not sure what your ability to procure this type of goods is. He mostly talks about how much better the cheese is there than here. And the Ajvar, and I have to agree on that one.

I agree on permanent connections, but the last few years have taught me to use alternatives to the normal butts. Anyway, when OP decides what he wants we can get into that. For one, self-sealing Dolphins would be good. Also the press-down splices with sealer.

I see one or two that are NOT suspicious. I have no real advice on cleaning corroded terminals, I rarely see corrosion, and when I do, the fixes are never reliable. Oscar...WD40?
