Seen this post earlier and thought it needed to be here!

ORIGINAL: 05 Ultra

Don't know if you can see this but I had to replace the gas cap on my truck and it came with the retaining strap that all cagers seem to have now. I popped the strap off the old one, drilled a 1/4" hole in the top of the Harley cap and secured the other end to the under side of the cover. Looks like Harley did it and you can't loose the cap.

One more about the garage door opener: I bought a "key chain" remote opener for my garage door, small and compact, about 1.25" wide x 2.50 long x .375 thick. I used Velcro to attach it to the side of my steering head on the inside of the fairing on the right side. Out of sight almost, out of mind, out of the weather. Has worked well for several months on the Ultra, worked great attached to the side of with windshield bag on my Fatboy for about 4 years before that. PACO
 
Here's one I posted a while back for hanging your windshield and backrests in the garage. Mine is of scrap wood, but follow-on replies by others are VERY nice (and cheap!). [8D]

These are all GREAT ideas please keep them coming...........It is a good time while the temps are so low to give them some thought!
 
I carefully pulled the reflectors of my bag latches, cleaned off the doulbe stick tape, sanded down the back side to remove the form marksand lightly painted them gloss black. I then reapplied them to the opposite side (since they are mirror image,) black out with double stick tape. Reflectors gone and it looks much better. Cost ZERO!
