    Awesome little system.
    Probably could have found the parts cheaper and built my own kit, but I just couldn't be arsed.
    No drain on the battery that I have found.
    Of course, Isleen is on a tender whenever she's home.

    This is a must for the Corbin Smuggler mod.
    Not sure how the cosmetics look with the levers removed from the stock seat.
    JimmyTee?

    Cheers,

    The levers stay put in the grab bars. They just will not function.So cosmetically, no change.

    Installed the kit just before heading to Daytona a few weeks back. It is absolutely worth it. It would never fail I would be on the bike with it running and my wife would need to add something to the saddle bag. Now I no longer have to shut off the bike and walk around to use the key. I also put a bit of heat shrink around the fob to soften it up against hitting the area around the ignition. You can still hit the button through it.

    I installed these and love them. For the dead battery issue I have a lead that for the jumpbox I carry in the cubby. So if the battery is ever dead I can just plug it in and go. No tools needed got the jumpbox and lead at cyclegear.

    I have one of those "Halo Bolt" jump boxes... I wonder if it will fit in the cubby box as well...? Must check. Normally I planned to carry it in the saddlebags but if I ever get the Remote saddlebag release gizmo's... wouldn't be a good idea I guess

    I've got the pigtail / jack for a battery tender. Have a plug with alligator clips to power up, if needed. Keep it in the saddlebag......er uh wait better rethink that.....lol

    Welp... went ahead and ordered the remote Saddlebag openers. Guess it's time for another mod for the bike...

    ..grabbed some Muth mirrors as well. Been wanting those for quite awhile too.
