I made the mistake yesterday, in very hot weather (A Temp reading 91F), to ride for a short distance between MGTTX stops without gloves. Well, the actual mistake was putting my left hand on my hip and noticing that it was considerably warmer, even at highway speeds, that the right side. It was...
I wanted two things from my helmet securing solution:
Be cheap, but feasible
Require no extra key beyond the keys I already have.
Combination-lock solutions seem to either have small numbers that were hard to see, especially in the dark, or they are too large (to accommodate larger rollers)...
I'm bringing shame upon my village and my Electrical Engineering degree (to be fair it was a minor).
I see the PC-8 comes in fuse-panel-only flavor, but also a complete kit with a relay. I'm assuming I'll be needing the latter, but for my own edification: what purpose does the relay serve in...

They both come in 150/70-17, are 69 H rated, so as far as I can tell they should be able to fit...
