    Just be aware, given where they are - in BK, I think - you may end up with gray market stuff. It's not uncommon for bare items coming out of NYC (huge shipping/port hub) to be gray market. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/gray-market-deals-the-truth-about-shadowy-savings/

    It's not counterfeit per se, but its origins can be sketch, it could've been intended for sale in other markets with less regulation or QC expectations, etc. They do have a legit storefront though.

    Stick to authorized sellers if you want the warranty to apply.

    I’m told alignment took 4 hours. Nuts.

    Depends on if you have batteries or not. I just picked up an m18 mid torque. That way I can just have 1 charger for both my m12 and m18 tools.

    Get whatever size you have sockets for.

    I don't have many 3/8" sockets but I do have an adapter. I'll probably just stick with 1/2" to make it easier.

    Amazingly, 4 hours of alignment only costs $90.

    At my friends house. Little cross country race tomorrow. Drive starts Monday.

    No taillights apparently, I just checked, but easy fix, Jason didn’t plug them back in. So it’s all headlights and I’m road safe.

    spare even fits in stock spot, sweet. Good spot for it for now.

    I dont think premium will do you any favors. Reg gas is usually fresher, and the tecron or whatever additive dillites things a hair. Ethenol free would be choice.

    Hell yeah!

    I've got a harness to send you, if you've got the time to redo it for me. I'm in no rush. I still need to figure something out for it so you've got time. I can pay you for it.

    We were talking about how to get gear oil in the front differential recently. I had to change the gear oil on the bike again today. I like how Liqui Moly has a built in straw.

    Side note, anyone want to buy me a new driveway?

    ive got a hose and a lucky tip. Its barbs are a little rowdier than most. And a wire hanger, cause buell oil is in the swingarm and i like to wait for the last drop. But after a squeeze, a cross or v cut in the top lets it drain. Leftovers from the last jug go to a saved jug. Like a free quart every other change.

    I guessed wrong on pinouts? Figures. At least from now on I have my FGT.

    2 hours for a shitty alignment cost me $99 with a suspicious leaking front differential I can't prove was them. Hopefully, yours went much better than mine.

    No, no, no, all your work thus far has been spectacular. I'm gonna take off my 4 pin trailer connector from crackie. I just want you to reuse the connector, and redo the pins with a new 4 way. I don't have te tools to do it.

    As long as you're cool with that.

    Your driveway is comfy to lay on, and smoke cigarettes. Don't change it! Just seal the cracks. ;)

    I think I’ll be shooting for a 16x25ish pad when I pour, enough for two car….. suv and truck to sit side by side. I was under the truck today getting rocks in my crack when I had to move off my carpet of pain

    I had three layers of pants, and three layers of shirts including my jacket. Jacket of pain today. The tent of pain is long gone.
