Agreed. I wouldn't want to have stock in Garmin. I get good use out of my 205 in the car..but smartphones are quickly making them redundant. No extra hardware and no ridiculous $$$ for map updates
I'll put in my 2 cents as well.
Me and a buddy (also a FJR Pilot) went in and purchased a pair of these (A definite savings to buy the 2 pack) before a week long trip to WV.
Very happy with the battery life..they never died on us and we pretty much kept the intercom line open while...
I've had similar results my my new set of PR2. I'm not sure how much to attribute it to new round profile tires..or that I replaced some Storms that had more cupping than a Victoria Secret's Fashion Show

I think road surface is definitely a factor.
Hit some rural MO roads that looked like freshly laid 40 grit sandpaper .. Great for traction but my set of Avons went from 60-70% to the wear bars and cupped to heck in about 600 miles. I'm sure some above average throttle manipulation was part of...

Just did a 1200+ weekend.
I'm sure it helped..but I was still sore.
I have the Alaska small. I had bought it but never used it for my Sporty..I threw it on just for a larf..seems to fit fine front to back and the width covers the top. A medium might be better.
Last I checked alaska leather...
Buddy of mine uses this stuff and it definitely cleans well..but ammonia isn't good for plastics.
I carry a wet towel/bar mop and a microfiber.
I ordered a couple bottles of all kleer..webbikeworld raves about it we'll see..

For an upgrade, I'd consider using a slightly brighter bulb such as a 2357 versus an 1157. running output is the same, but the brake output is about 25%...
