The GB is almost ready to be launched, just need to assemble all the details in a way to make this a smooth transaction for all.
It would be much smoother for me if it happened after the holidays. Not much room in the ol' budget for selfish purchases right now.

Bob, no point in trying to justify farkles in the budget, once you add just one it's a slippery slope. :D

I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Ian, if it fit an 06 I will take one maybe two.
A little bird told me they do fit an 06 perfectly. Coming soon at a theater near you....PM. <>< ;)
Doug, this is a photo of painman's bike (Del) that I was able to take on Wednesday. I had a delivery to make and Del took time out of his day to come to my aid.(Thanks Del B) ) This is the first '06 I was able to do a fit check on. Even though its mounted on the right side, the base has a hole pattern for both sides of the bike.

The only question I have and it may have already been covered. How does the muffler heat affect the jug and mounting bracket? How easy to remove? Mike in Fremont

Mike, the next time your bikes warmed up, place your hand on top of either passenger footpeg. You will notice very little heat transfer between the 2 distances. The small amount of heat that you will feel here, has almost no impact on the temperature of the contents inside the rubbermaid jug. Add to that, my supplied outer sewn bag has a layer of insulation sewn between 2 linings covering all faces of the jug, to further aid an already insulated rubbermaid jug.

Any heat that can be felt, will be a non factor as soon as your underway.

The jug is removed by unscrewing 2 stainless steel fasteners through the passenger footpeg.

If your interested, you are more than welcome to test run my prototype on your bike? ;)

IMO, if the jug was receiving a constant heat source, the ice in this picture would not have survived for more than 16 hours during our recent SS1K test run.

Ian, I've discovered your endurance secret! Those look like Gerber pear slices we used to feed my daughter when she was 12 months old :D

Sorry, couldn't resist, it was my first reaction when I saw your photo.

When I first saw this picture, I thought of someone with a bad bladder problem.

Since both the jugs and the coolers are insulated, then they could also keep liquids warm (pbly not very hot) on cool weather runs! Some of us idiots ride when it's chilly out....<BG>

This is exactly why turbodave wants this setup, as he drinks copious amounts of coffee while on the road. :D

I forgot about the ice pictures. I am in for one. No need for a test run. Thanks for all your hard work and mental fatigue.

Ahhh..... fill one with coffee for the morning, cold gatoraide for the afternoon! Way cool!

Any chance the mounting brackets will fit anything else? Maybe different bolts... whatevas?

Like a Triumph or a Harley?
