Hi Charlie, do you still have a link for that?, I would like to carry one to mate, Cheers Grant
G'day Grant. Here's an Oz eBay link: AU$88, free delivery from Sydney. You should have it before the Silverton ride.

I just put a 'make an offer' bid for one of those little units. I put in 78.50
I suppose I'll get a 'phuck off mate' response! :mrgreen:

I brought one that Charlie posted this morning of Fleebay.

SteveD brought one a couple of weeks back he said after I showed him my great purchase, his was $30 but not as much punch he said.

^ don'tcha hate that!
Here's the one I bought. Because of the changeover to a tubeless rear I thought it might be wise to be able to boost the battery if an air pump drained it during tyre repair. It also had a make an offer so I did. I hope it works if needed. :?

A friend of mine (George, owns a k12s) has a similar new product http://startwarrior.com/ that he's been promoting recently, mostly at boat shows so far. I thought it'd be handy for the bike too but his is big and >$500 I think.

My ‘make an offer’ bid came and went without even a ‘phuck off mate’ reply.
I thought right you prick, I’ll show you!
So I paid full price! Showed that sucker who’s boss.

Yep, a good whack to the chops with a wad of notes will wake his attitude up a little.
He'll certainly think twice about not accepting a cheaper price again after that outcome Jeff, well done :)

Wow does this little power bank also work with older motorcycles?
Or is it just for newer ones?

Anything that has a 12 volt system.
Although, some of the new vehicles may need checking for system compatibility.
