"I am considering adding a lithium starter pack but the statistics on them are not good - about 1 out of every 10,000 packs catch fire." "As the original poster cited, this subject does deserve some thought." For my 2 cents worth any lithium battery source needs about 10 years mo...

LakeMac as to your motorcycle a fire on a bike is no fun, mine was an open gas cock on a triumph twin outlet tank on a 45 inch Harley using only one gas cock the fire was spectacular to everyone but me, NOT FUN at all.

Another problem not a word of on the MSM is how long will insurance cover a known problem before dropping coverage for all, and is the loss of your insurance worth it , to me not so much.

I know it's an old post but the item you removed locks the brake master from applying the brake when your backing up on level ground, when backing down most ramps the brake does not come into play but on level ground the push on the master applies the brake and makes backing a problem.

OK to mount to the boat first I cross drilled the mount tube, axle nut and the axle then locked with a SS cotter pin to lock axle nut and tube as one then cut a slot in the tube to mount where the forestay cable mounted.

Thanks feels good when it works and I'd rather build what I need instead of blowing large piles of money to be safer on the water it's bad enough l swim with the glide ratio of a very large rock. But life jacket and tube boat help keep me floating.

Take a close look at the pictures I already put up, the bicycle hub was a front from a 20 inch bmx with larger spoke rings, better would be an itialian 10 speed extra large spoke rings not seen in years. The nylon plates I did with a sliding hole cutter ( looks like cross and sets diameter with a ru...
