If you’ve followed my travels and read the book you’ll know where this came from. Why I still have it and carry it on the bike I can’t answer. Maybe a reminder to not do stupid things? 🤔😄

The job was done. It’s only taken me from last September to fit it. Saying that, I’ve not been so far that a puncture would trouble me with the travel restrictions. Did I mention that the purpose of the socket is to bypass the CAN Bus so I can run the Airman Tour compressor?

Today’s project is to fit a new socket on the GSA like I had on the Triple Black GS. That brings the Airman Tour compressor back into play should I need it.
