Anything goes.... :grin2:

Gee, would not wish to leave that beast alone in the city or in underground condo parking overnight. There is alotta fruit to harvest on that tree.
Luckily I have only done that a couple, maybe 3 times. Twice I think when running into the gas station to pay, use the bathroom, grab a snack. Once at a restaurant. But never left it for long and knock on wood nobody has grabbed it (yet).LOL!

most of it locks on or is on PITA to get off..
Tho I just had a thought; I wonder just how many times I’m gonna leave my phone on the bike cause I’m so use to it being in my pocket. I do imagine that I won’t always use that mount either..

I have mine attached to the handle bars. It seems fine mounted there, however I keep breaking the disks and turning my Quad Lock into a Tri-lock. Quadlock has been good about sending me replacement disks, but maybe I should move it and see if the angle I am having to use it get it on and off is contributing to it breaking.
Edit: I also wish they would just sell a 3 pack of those disks so I could keep spares on hand. I have contacted them about it, but they don't seem interested. They just tell me "If it breaks we will replace it."

Yeah, I got the case and the condom or rain coat or whatever they call it. Technically shouldn't need it since the phone is supposed to be Waterproof, but I did manage to get water into the lens of my previous iPhone X.I got the case for mine
Not a bad case just plain..
Those Camel ADV sidestands are nice aren't they. My wife won one of them at that AT Rally last year and now I have sidestand envy.The Camel ADV side stand was installed in the evening.
Like most others have said: The Camel side stand is rock solid. Mounting the AT using the rider's left foot peg feels much better.

I ripped off the Techspec pads from my old CB1100 and cut what I could to make them useful and not too obnoxious looking. I am glad I did it. The knees lock in well.Those Camel ADV sidestands are nice aren't they. My wife won one of them at that AT Rally last year and now I have sidestand envy.

They still stick well enough after removing them? I wondered how that adhesive would hold up. I was afraid to even try to reposition them so was super careful in lining up placement firstI ripped off the Techspec pads from my old CB1100 and cut what I could to make them useful and not too obnoxious looking.

Techspec allows for multiple removal/realignments before the goo starts to become substandard.They still stick well enough after removing them? I wondered how that adhesive would hold up. I was afraid to even try to reposition them so was super careful in lining up placement first
Yeah. She won a couple of good prizes at the raffle and I got a couple of great deals on the auctions. All in all a good haul and a really fun rally.Those are some pretty darn nice prizes.
That's good info. When I put hers on I did use a heat gun to help ensure they molded to the contours the way I wanted them too and they do seem to be adhering well.Techspec allows for multiple removal/realignments before the goo starts to become substandard.
My Techspec pads were on the CB1100 for about two years with lots of sunlight exposure in parking lots. The rubber and adhesive compound were very sound. Techspec uses modern and stellar materials. It is worth the premium over the import knock-offs.
It was firmly attached to the gas tank, but did come off sanely with zero paint damage (just pull firmly, slowly). I placed the pads into a freezer-sized zip lock bag so the adhesive compound would not deteriorate being exposed directly to air and dust. I stored them in a dark place (no UV light). When I was ready, I removed them from the bags and used a box cutter to trim them for use on the AT.
One more thing:
To be extra anal, before and after the pads were affixed to the AT, I gave each surface a few minute dose of hair dryer heat. I probably didn't need to do this step if had I reinstalled in warm summer weather.
