Thanks for the nice thought, Pretender (or are you living up to your name??!!)
I am not paranoid...

I'm gonna be a contender in the FZ-6 Iron Butt Rally this year. I won't be doing any trans-continental journeys so I may not win! I'm enjoying the heck out of my bike so I'm not leaving this forum anytime soon (I heard those groans from some of you.)

Believe it or not, I have a friend in the medical supply business. She is looking into custom molding a battery under the seat. My gut feel is that will be way more expensive than it is worth. I might drop a battery in the tail bag and run the clothing off that. When I start getting cold... go home! I told her husband that I was thinking of a K1200ST and he gave me "the look" and said get some more miles under your belt.

Thanks again... working on the solution to my problems. Like most problems, it just takes time and money.
