     A bunch of stuff.

     Tires:  Used up two sets of YOKO 6plys.  Very fine tire.  High mileage
     even on a syncrowestie.  Very stable at 42x48 psi.

     Batt Isolator:  I use a portable OPTIMA not mounted under the seat.  I
     charge it with a set of moto jumper cables when driving and simply
     disconnect the cables after a while.  For portable power it's great.
     I can run the CD changer/Reno by connecting to a jack with the
     ignition off, power lights, computer, etc anywhere inside the beast or
     outside in country.

     Bike racks:  Mount a raingutter thingy from Yakima on the rear of the
     westie top using a couple of new holes in the raingutter thingy that
     match two of the bolts that secure the lifting mechanism.  Mount a
     crossbar on that.  Mount fork mounts on that.  Mount the tandem on
     that.  Let the rear wheel touch the bumper and secure it with your
     choice of thing.

     More later.
