I bought an aftermarket battery from a great company but the battery went bad in 4 months. I should have stuck with the Yuasa but tried to save a few dollars. The battery arrived quicker than expected and has been trouble free. The orginial Yuasa lasted 5 years and hope to get that out of this one. By the best the first time around and you won't be disappointed!

After a lengthy amount of time researching and conversing with other motorcycle owners, I decided to step up to the plate and bought what these others believed to be the best, which was the YTX14-BS Yuasa battery. I own a 2003 Yamaha V-star 1100 and the size was a perfect fit. I was initially weiry of an after market product due to the slight differences in size [don't be]. I shopped many other websites, but I came back to my "old faithful" site, AMAZON.COM. The shipping time was better than their estimated amount of days, which put be back on my motorcycle quicker.

My first Yuasa AGM battery lasted 7 years! I used a float charter about 1 week per month. With this kind of service life, I gladly bought my 2nd one. Highly recommend the Yuasa maintenance free AGM batteries.

No Fog at all!!!, August 17, 2008

Daniel E. Mewhorter "KPTNCAAAAVEMAN" (Chesapeake VA) -

I purchased this item and applied it along with the JT Plexus, the night before playing. It was a hot and humid day and as soon as I entered the woods ball field all of my teammates fogged up. BUT NOT ME!!! I played that round and my teammates were asking to use this.

THIS STUFF IF WORTH TWICE THE PRICE!!!

Three way *extreme* comparison, December 28, 2009

I practice karate & I wear glasses. This is not a happy combination - I spend too much time picking my glasses up off the mat. So I went out & bought a pair of sports goggles, they stay on but fog up something fierce. (My *opponents* like sparring with a blind man, though... ;-) For those who don't practice the Ancient Asian Art of kicking-below-the-belt: it is the *ultimate* workout. You sweat an unbelievable amount, making this a true stress test for anti-fog goop. I tried an old spray-on I use for my motorcycle face shield - but that did next-to-nothing to help.

I hit good ol' Amazondotcom & found the three highest-rated anti-fog products & tried them out on successive weeks.

NUMBER THREE is the artfully-named "Cat Crap" Ek Cat Crap Glass and Lens Cleaner It's a waxy substance, you smear it on & by the directions buff it until clear. But I don't know how to tell the difference between "buffing until clear" and "wiping it off." It did do better at mitigating the fogging problem than the old spray-on I had laying around. But it still didn't keep the lenses clear, either. Three Stars.

NUMBER TWO is Sea Drops Sea Drops Anti-Fog & Lens Cleaner This is a viscous fluid, you smear it on & let it dry, then buff. I buffed it just barely enough for the spots to disappear & tried it out. It worked "pretty good." My lenses didn't fog up, stayed mostly clear but by the end of class there was still a little spotting. Much better than the old spray-on, but still not quite as good as number one. Four Stars.

For my money, NUMBER ONE is Fog Tech. FogTech Anti-fog 30ml Solution It's a clear solution, you wipe it on & let dry. That's it, no guessing how much buffing you need. My goggles stayed clear & dry throughout the class. It may be the priciest solution, but it works. Five Stars.

Now I can see the foot coming at my nose.

Much better.

Best anti-fog solution I have used, January 22, 2010

Stephen M. Charme (central New Jersey) -

This review is from: MotoSolutions FogTech Anti-Fog 30ml Bottle Paintball or Glasses (Eyewear)

If you have ever gone to a state fair or carnival, you probably have come across a kiosk where they offer to clean your eyeglasses and then hold them over a steaming teakettle to show that they don't fog up. I have purchased my fair share of those products, which do work--but only for a short time. This product is totally different.

I need to keep my sunglasses fog free when I am running outdoors in the winter with a face mask, and my ski goggles fog free when I do winter sports. This product works better than anything I have ever used. Yes, there are much cheaper products, but they work only for a short time, and then the fog starts creeping in. Not so with this product. In fact, a single application keeps my shaving mirror in the shower completely fog free for several days. After that, when the mirror starts to fog up, a single wipe of the towel keeps the mirror fog free for the rest of the shower. As a practical matter I only have to apply this product about once a week to my shower mirror.

Although this product is undoubtedly the most expensive anti-fog solution that I have ever used, because a single application lasts so long, it is actually more economical in the long run. This is definitely the best anti-fog solution I have used and is simple to apply. Therefore I recommend it.

Update July 18, 2010: After nearly six months of weekly use on my shower mirror, I still have most of the product left. I just dispense three drops onto the included applicator and spread it around without any streaking problem. Because so little of this product is required compared to other products that I have used--and with better results--this product really is the most economical way to keep things fog free.

Update November 11, 2010: I no longer use this on my shower mirror, which I have replaced with a truly fogless shower mirror made by ToiletTree (which I have reviewed on Amazon). Of course I still use it for the other applications that I described.

For some reason GoPro believes this little jewel is worth it's weight in gold because that's about what they charge for it. And I wouldn't object so much but it even doesn't come with a nut. Adding a nut might raise their total production costs all the way up to what, 15 cents maybe. So at nearly eight bucks, the price is totally absurd. But then again, it's the same will all their accessories. They sell the camera cheap and then stick you for the accessories you need to get the most out of it.

Handy to have, March 10, 2011

This review is from: GoPro Tripod Mount for HERO Cameras (Electronics)

An essential piece to my camera bag, since I plan to do as much video production with my GoPro as possible.

However...

I've heard people complain about having to pay for this tripod mount. Since GoPro is mainly used for action sport/activities where the camera is attached to the person or vehicle, it wouldn't really make sense to add this piece to the already generous slew of mounts that come with the camera. If you're planning on doing videography where the tripod is the camera's main resting place, then the GoPro camera isn't really for you in the first place. This is just something handy to have if the need arises. Not all will use it.

The tripod mount is made of the same high quality plastic as the rest of the mounts -- not much to tell. It does what it does.

However, I have reduced the review from 5 stars to 4 stars because it does not come with the nut you screw into. All the other mounts have their own nut, so I'm not sure why the tripod mount does not come with one.

Do yourself a favor, and buy a couple of 5mm Hex Nut caps from your local hardware store (my Home Depot had them in packs of 2 for ~ 50 cents, you'll find them in some drawers in the hardware section). The mount doesn't come with the bolt (but you can use the one you already have), but real issue is that it doesn't come with the nut, which all the other mounts have (hence the previous recommendation). Including this nut would have saved me the trouble of going to a hardware store, and getting it on my own. Although, you could probably pull it off one of your other mounts, but that is more of a hassle to pull that tiny thing off, and risk dropping it and losing it.

Anyway, it seems like it will be pretty decent. Pretty overpriced for a plastic adapter to convert it to a tripod mount. It'll definitely do the job, but could have been more handy with the nut, and cheaper would have been better too.

Don't use for deep cycle batteries, November 30, 2009

This review is from: Schumacher SEM-1562A 1.5 Amp Speed Charge Maintainer (Automotive)

Bought this charger to charge/maintain my deep cycle battery used for emergency power outages. The manual included with this charger even describes it charging deep cycle batteries and gives a charging estimate of ~36hrs. Fine for what I'm looking for. The charger repeatedly aborted the charge on my brand-new battery. Their customer service tech said it wasn't meant to charge deep cycle batteries due to the higher internal resistance. This should have been made more clear in the packaging, labelling and product description. I've lost time and money. Now I have to go buy a 'real' charger...

Update - The charger was actually DOA. I returned it and replaced the charger with a new one on an auto-shop recommendation. It is working fine. Schumacher didn't want to own up to a bum charger when I called them earlier.
