    How much time does the system provide? Does include a generator as well as the batteries?

    The one I bought is rated at 1500va @ 120vac. No, these units plug in to the wall and your computer gear plugs in to it. It keeps your system from dropping out. For long term outages I also have a 5kw gasoline generator. Look on Ebay if you are looking for something.like this. Mine was $159+ tax. ...J.D.

    Gear indicator. I never knew I needed one till I got one. Seriously they’re brilliant.

    Not looking for one, I was just curious. The power around me is usually stable so would be a waste for me.

    I might be able to help you out there @Duckadiledundee , how about some ex Bad Billy Racing exclusive designer leathers crashed extensively & nicely scuffed look? :eek: I will even throw in some absolutely fooked knee sliders to further enhance the look :), trust me o_O Duck these cost me £900 when new, and now that they have been 'enhanced' by a real artist (that's me!:p) I would still only charge you a small premium (say £25) on top.



    ..... I know, I know, you can't believe your luck, I wouldn't make this offer to anyone else mate! :blush:

    Something else

    As you are considering a vented jacket to keep you cool you don't want a screen as that'll keep the breeze off of you.

    There's never a need for a gear indicator as you can feel if the bike is in the right gear; I've never understood the point of these.

    You'll struggle to get a high quality, properly armoured, vented summer jacket for £100, but the good news is that as you#ve not fitted a screen you'll not need it, as long as you leave to cuffs of your leather open and let the zip at the front hang open a little.

    I vote you spend it on petrol - get out and do some riding!

    Beer, fine whisky/whiskey and or some poteen
    Or if it has to be bike related - coffee and a de-catted link pipe (if that can be had for a ton)

    Something else, coffee. Summer is a week old now so it’s probably coming to an end so no need for a mesh jacket. With your elevated consciousness from the high levels of caffeine in your system you’ll always know what gear you’re in and you won’t want a screen because you’ll need the extra wind to cool you down.
    B.t.w. every time I see your post it catches me off guard cause it’s my name too and for a brief second I think it’s me. So just in case you are me let’s get the screen, Highway riding on a speed is too much of a core workout for me without a screen.

    I voted for the gear indicator. I really miss the gear indicators that my old Suzuki's had in their clocks. So often I find myself kicking up convinced I can't be in sixth yet as I'm only doing 125mph and I'm near the bleedin' red line!

    Sorry, but I am me too. You know those wee quiet moments when you fade out for a while - that's me going off to post

    Thank you for all your help and input everyone. All valid and respected opinions (mostly).

    There is a fairly even split between gear indicator, jacket, and something else.

    Alas, all I know is....I am not going to get a screen!

    Bless you all, and thank you!!
