But seriously, I do need to order one soon. Do they come in dayglow?

"dayglow"? what the heck is that? They come in any color (actually random red or green or white) but not black. Too easy to forget as it is, if they were black that would be the same as camoflage. Not a good thing.

If they were painted black, they'd make your bike faster!

Some of you was also talking about forgetting disc brake locks, well how about using the little coiled key keepers like they sell for about $2.00 at Wal-Mart? Just put it on front of the disc lock, or the Jack adapter, whichever you use it on. Be sure to get a contrasting color. They come in several different colors and some are real bright too. One end on the Adapter, or disc lock, and the other end hooked to clutch or front brake. Think about it. ::) And by the way, Idaho, I will be recomending your adapter to everyone I meet that has a Nomad, and my local dealer too. It's a great idea. It should work perfectly for a 1600 Classic, and even the Mean Streak as well.

Am I going to have to sell these with somekind of a release in case someone gets hurts riding off with one of these attached? Crap you guys, this is scary.

Tie a string to front bar and use the string to lift the adapter to the frame and tie the string to the handlebar at the starter button. Maybe that will help.

I have a feeling you are right about the classic. Bet the frames are close. Not sure about the meanstreak. Anyone know if the frames are the same?

Idaho your price for the adapter is a very good price with the price of steel right now, and the cost of welding supplies. I am a certified welder have been for 25 years and when I need one of these adapters I will buy from you I don't think I can build one any cheaper unless I had the steel on hand left over from something else.

Thank you for saying that. My machinist is very good and he has worked with his supplier to get the machined tabs down in price. I try not to gouge anyone so that more guys can afford these. Happy to help.
