But if I asked you (off the forum)... the entire world of FZ6R riders wouldn't get to share the benefit of your knowledge...If only you knew somebody who has that setup and the same bike to ask, wouldn't that be easier?
Yes it will work.
Thanks. I think I'm ordering that mount & holder today.

Reasonably priced waterproof

Don't know how I didn't see this model when I was looking... right around $250 and it's waterproof!

Intermittent Power Solved
Nasty Cold solder joints... After having my setup get worse and worse for power going on/off (incoming power was good, as the LED was always on), I finally tore it apart today. Turned out to be a cold solder joint right on the PCB to the output power lead. For those that don't know what a cold solder joint is, it is basically that one part was heated enough to flow the solder (the PCB instead of the wire in this case), but the joining part was not, so the solder just filled around the joined part instead of melting the solder onto both parts and forming the joint. Easy fix, clean off the old solder, correctly re-solder!
