Brian, I bought one the first units you made. WHY?
When you get this bike, there is a certain percentage of failure with this spring....5%, 10% who knows.
However, becoming aware of the issue makes this number double.
Becoming aware of this possible issue, and doing nothing, makes this number double again.
Go out and look at your bike, in the safety of your garage. Decide which towing company you'd call, and how exactly you could strap it to a tow vehicle without damage.
I know we cant guarantee never breaking down. Still,...
I dont remember how much money I paid for my harness. However, when I walk towards the bike after I've parked it at the top of a canyon, and the phone says "No service", its nice to know the ignition barrel issue wont stop me. For me, that is like paying for a spare tire and its well worth whatever I had to pay.
If these thigns were 5000.00, then sure, we could talk about it. When you buy a piece of emergency equipment, and can forget the price, its a good deal.
