Are you thinking the "Grunge Brush"?
I have one, works OK. Bristles are quite firm so it kinda spatters off the chain.

When I first started seeing these, they were installed in the center of the median. Now, Ive noticed they are more commonly on the shoulder of one of the lanes of traffic ( like pictured in the 1st post link).
Its like they think traffic on the far side wont ever loose control. Wouldn't they want them to be stopped in the center of the median? Mean while on the installed side, there is essentially no shoulder room, if you need to move left to avoid a collision, or if you have a break down and traffic is too heavy to get to the far right shoulder.
I get the suspicion they discovered it may be cheaper/ easier to install off the shoulder of one direction of traffic, and that's my biggest issue with them. Placed in the center of the median would seam to be a more proper placement location.

All Pro powder coating is right in St. Cloud, across from the street from the Government Center by Mills Fleet. He can sand blast it too, if you dont want to do any prep work.

I don't understand how it was important enuf for the officer to be traveling with lights and emergency sirens on, and traveling through a red light. But yet going "well below the posted speed limit" as reports state. Doesn't make sense to me. What is the speed limit on that road?

but I haven't found a better solution for supplementing my 2.1 gal gas tank.

Thats about the size of the tank on the bike Im looking to cary extra fuel on.
Waiting on another hard wire GPS cable so I can atleast keep track of mileage. I just know I need something more long term than a plastic gas can bungied on the back seat.

One effect you might notice from putting 87 octane fuel in a bike that needs 91 is knocking, aka detonation.  But you won't notice that if your bike has a knock sensor and compensates for the detonation.

Spot on. I dont know why people get it in their head that their bike always needs high octane. The higher the octane, the slower, more controlled the flame travel will be, and be less prone to preignition. Low octane is more prone to preignition under the same circumstances as high octane would be, and low octane actually burns faster.

So, if you put high octane in a motor designed for low octane, the ignition curve will effectively be slowed down, and the motor will feel sluggish. On the other hand, a motor built and tuned for high octane, running on low octane can become a little peppier due to the fuel burning quicker. But after a point, detonation, and or preignition could occur if octane gets too low, or ignition advance too soon. Cooler (running temps) also allow using lower octane.

I rarely ever run high octane, even in my 1972 big block Buick, Ive adjusted the timing curve to allow for 87 octane.

And just because you have high compression IE 10-1 to 14-1, dosnt necessarily mean you need high octane, if the cam has enuf duration to bleed off cranking compression. Start getting around 160-180psi cranking compression and yes, you will probably need high octane.

Keep in mind too, when your paying a dollar more for that high octane, that you probably don't need, that will give you less performance if low octane is really required,....How "old" is that "better" gas, I mean really, how long does that fuel sit in those storage tanks. Most people dont put high octane in their cars and trucks.

Ill pump the freshest, lowest octane I can use. Except, for pumps that have ethanol free 91, vs 87-89w/ ethanol. Ethanol lowers mph.

Like what Joel said earlier. Even if you require high octane, low octane is always better than (pushing) no gas at all.

I recall that a few years ago, a state out east, I think, was pushing for a mandatory helmet law. They had studies showing how many life's, it would save. So the AMA, I believe it was, started campaigning that "All" occupants of cars and trucks should be also mandated to wear a helmet too, while in a motor vehicle because it would greatly reduce injuries in auto accidents. Guess what, they left the bikes alone.

Now this seams ridiculous, but really, where does it stop. And I may have read this in an Easy Rider, so I cant validate the source. While were at it, lets mandate full safety yellow riding suite, boots and gloves while were at it, cause then we'd "really" be safe. Wait a minute, motorcycles are dangerous! Lets just ban them!

I think its also BS to require extra medical coverage to be allowed to not wear a helmet. I think Texas is this way. It would seam to me that that would give a cop cause to pull a rider over that wasn't wearing a helmet at will, for no other infraction, just to check and see if the rider is legal.

Ya, and Im opposed to the seat belt law too. Little kids, sure. But adults, quit trying to save our self's from our self's.
